Not sure about GP - but in my country they teach the 9 and 3 position when you take your license. I’ve always thought 10 and 2 was an American thing.

So what if he over-engineered his blog? Siblings are missing the point here:

1) maintaining stuff is a pain in the ass,

2) it can still be very fulfilling.

TIL Mars has a Moon that travels in the wrong direction.

Then shortly after, I learnt it doesn’t.

Is you Bot?

I developed a Shopify app that solves a niche problem. It has grown slowly over 4 years.

Current income at 80k/year with relatively low maintenance. I have a full time job as a software engineer on the side.

Yes. The only thing, I would be motivated to, is jumping ship.

Musk basically said:

"Sorry Twitter for Android is slow. Our Android engineers are idiots."

Who on Earth would want to be part of such an organization?

> you have to be prepared for a higher than average error rate from your people.

Exactly this. From first hand experience, when forced to deliver under time pressure, I cut corners.

This means, I might be able to deliver the feature. But the tradeoff is it adds technical debt and physical stress, which needs to be dealt with afterwards.

Furthermore, if you have a family, it also takes a toll on family life.

I would turn down any job requiring me to go to the office more than 1-2 times a week.

I do enjoy going to the office for the social aspect but my brain is completely toast after such a day, so I need a day or two of recharging in my home office.

As someone else said - if I had my own office, it would probably not be as bad.

As I understand the article, it argues that relying on transaction fees to reward miners is not viable, as there are too few transactions happening thus making the transaction fees extremely high.

> "$7.125B / 91,250,000 tx = $78 per transaction."

> "But we just proved the store-of-value narrative breaks down because of the $7.125B/year leak and the fact that mining is unsustainable long-term unless it is subsidized by transaction fees, which will not exist because transacting on Bitcoin is slow and expensive."

I currently do both.

I have a small SaaS that I work on one day a week.

The last 4 days I work a job.

The SaaS pays by far the highest hourly and feeds my hunger to create.

The job gives me fulfilment socially and makes me feel part of something.

It feels like I should double down on one. But I really enjoy both, so why?

Ok - maybe in North America. I have never heard of such a thing in Europe. I work with engineers of different disciplines.

I have never heard of anyone having to “work under a professional” for some time after taking their degree.

If you have an interest in increasing military spending, a little UFO fear mongering probably won’t hurt.

So having a B/M.Sc. in Software Engineering is not enough to qualify for the title of Software Engineer? :D

> I'm always ripping on people using the title Engineer when talking about software development.

Why?

Any interest in doing a short comparison? As in, why are you in no rush to switch back to rails? Any features you miss from rails? (edit: register beat me to it. I'll leave my post as a +1)

Seems he was also battling with guilt most of his life. One year before his death, Mikhail Kalashnikov wrote a letter to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Excerpts:

    “I keep having the same unsolved question: if my rifle claimed people’s lives, then can it be that I… a Christian and an Orthodox believer, was to blame for their deaths?”

    “The longer I live, the more this question drills itself into my brain and the more I wonder why the Lord allowed man to have the devilish desires of envy, greed and aggression.”

Working people pay the taxes. As in most other systems.

And a good social safety net helps the workforce maintain the productivity by keeping it healthy and educated. Furthermore, it removes concerns about health care insurance, sudden unemployment, education for the kids, etc.

I see the tax I pay as an investment in the people and society. Society helped me get good health care and take a good education, even though I come from what would be a lower class home in much of the world. I pay that gift forward to someone else - very likely to be people in my own family.

What system does?

Statistically, European healthcare seems to be doing fine compared to e.g. the US [0]

I've never been to the Caribbean - you would have to ask someone else.

I would assume their motivation is money and having a job with high purpose.

No, doctors and nurses learn their skills in the free, public, pretty high-quality education.

I can only speak for my own country - but becoming a doctor is highly attractive here in spite of it being hard work.

Nurses, not that attractive, but they are paid a decent middle class salary as compensation for the hard work.

Now imagine, you live in a real 1st world country with social democratic values.

I have had this problem for years in modern user interfaces. Most of the times, when a system is trying to guess what I want to do or find, it guesses wrong.

Of course not. If you don't need Cloudflare, don't use it :)

For anyone else needing their services, they are a perfectly reliable provider (most of the time). Would make sense to ensure a fail-over, though.

Yep - I have a Shopify app that uses Cloudflare, and was just about to panic when I saw this post.

Turns out no one will notice, as all of Shopify is down anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fine idea, but I believe the better issue to tackle here is:

- how do I easily create and display how-to guides?

Maybe it's just me, but how-to videos are not as easily consumable as a simple step-by-step guide on a single page. All tools, I've tried for creating the latter, suck. Any ideas for that? :)

For self-host - is it better than KeePass?
