what are the latency implications of going through this proxy? looks good

the thin phone is supposedly first step toward the iPhold foldable. they will probably slam 2 iphone air sandwiched together for the fold so this is the first step i guess

because they are glorified markov chains?

can someone with experience doing this shine some light? i have been offered this type of role from engineer to 50/50 (as i feel it) or 80/20 (as they say) IC and managing. in a series C startup. i feel like it’s never good to context switch. i never seen a tech lead or manager who did well both roles at once. am i crazy to think that the tech lead or manager role should be 100%? either go the IC track or the manager track. but i lack evidence to substantiate this idea of mine.

tax base is narrow the middle class is gonna get squeezed even more to make up the difference

I feel the 4-7-8 is more natural than box breathing the length seems to align more with the natural breathing without constraining it to fixed length. I feel like exhaling takes usually longer than inhaling

Airbnb is generally fine but I would never probably use it again if I could. They have very high fees and zero support when something goes wrong. I now pretty much prefer hotels, the price is the sane but the service is not comparable. At least for shorter stays

And yet is never gonna be open source

I don’t get the point on going open source aside from a tiny boost in marketing. What is the objective and proposition here? Considering as others have said is not really open source. If I were the founder I would not do that. It’s like if Airbnb went open source or something

Booking is a total scam fake photos fake listings fake reviews

Be gready when others are fearful, glad to see everyone on this thread is the greatest hedge fund manager of all time selling and shorting, happy days

The only thing that holds me back for self hosting is Postgres. Has anyone managed to get a rock solid Postgres setup self managed? Backups + tuning?

i am super productive with Go HTMX Tailwind JS PostgreSQL

From the docs

>The cell shape of that grid system is an important consideration. For simplicity, it should be a polygon that tiles regularly: the triangle, the square, or the hexagon. Of these, triangles and squares have neighbors with different distances. Triangles have three different distances, and squares have two different distances. For hexagons, all neighbors are equidistant

And

>This property allows for simpler analysis of movement. Hexagons have the property of expanding rings of neighbors approximating circles

>Hexagons are also optimally space-filling. On average, a polygon may be filled with hexagon tiles with a smaller margin of error than would be present with square tiles.

The tech layoffs are the results of couple of years of exuberance that happened right after 2020. Companies are laying off and we are getting back to trendline. Nothing to see here.

I agree with parts of what you say. I’m a career contractor or job hopper. I like it this way. I also am aware of the volatility of the industry. I prefer hopping and getting 20% pay bump each year. This more than offsets the risk of being laid off and staying a few months without income.

cursor is just a wrapper to the apis and is unnecessarily expensive, I use zed editor with custom API keys and it works super well

It’s amazingly good, but it will be scaringly good when there will be a way to include the entire codebase in the context and let it create and run various parts of a large codebase autonomously. Right now I can only do patch work and give specific code snippets to make it work. Excited to try this new version out, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed,

Edit: I just tried claude code CLI and it's a good compromise, it works pretty well, it does the discovery by itself instead of loading the whole codebase into context

They should invest and focus on making their platform more reliable. Without that they will continue to be just a hobby toy to play with and nothing more

Italy where I am from is so fucked

Copilot is totally useless.

In other words you are looking for people who are willing to get paid less what they are worth

There is and has been for a while, an entire industry behind OF management, mass messages, paid chat operators and what not. AI is just making it easier to run the whole thing on autopilot at the expense of the ”fans”

iPad

Opening and operating a UK ltd co is really cheap you could use that

Eventually if you get traffic you will have to monetise somehow

I used to play this in high school. Great work you did. And I hope things turn out well for you.

I’m fighting on a meta level. for a world where people don’t pretend we have a nanny state telling us what cookies we should use or not. Just use the site, if you don’t fancy the cookies just log off and keep going

Then don’t use it. People who keen on whining about this clearly don’t know anything about building a business.

> The Digital Services Act (DSA) in the European Union requires Apple to verify and display trader contact information for all "traders" who are distributing apps on the App Store in the European Union. Developers who make money from the App Store through either an upfront purchase price or through in-app purchases are considered traders, regardless of size

We all thank the bureaucrats in Bruxelles for this nonsense
