I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a practical title, though there are a few practical tips along the lines you mention, the point of the book is more about the societal problem than the individual. But as someone who gets highly fru

I may be reading this incorrectly, but in the article, the 65% appears to be authors confidence in the statement that attention spans appear to be declining, as denoted by the sub-script. Whereas in the HN title it reads as if it's say

And another: I did have access to plugins (but not web browsing), but the list of plugins would not load. I seem to have been reverted to what looks more like the May 3rd release now (other than it no longer has the deprecated GPT-3.5 model

For me, setting a goal was the key. I've been messing about with kettlebells for a couple of years, but 16 weeks ago I started a goal to get to be able to complete a set number of lifts with a particular weight. I'm most of the wa

When I read about the 30,000 cycles, I can't help but picture a mechanism which performs a "perfect" opening/closing cycle with equal force distribution. How many cycles would that translate to when being opened/clo

It sounds like you're looking for freelance work? In my experience as a python/full stack freelancer, you're best off starting with a full time and then reducing your hours per week after getting familiar with the project. I&

For me and many others, I'm sure this brings back the sweaty palms from our own version of this!

Sad not to see point-in-time-restore for postgres yet, but hopefully it gets added soon.

It's something I've been meaning to try for a long time. I had https://litestream.io/ in mind as a means to achieve a "Fully-replicated database".

As a job searcher in the UK I quite liked https://otta.com/ . Nice concise job listings from mostly great. No affiliation, I didn't end up taking a role found through them in even in the end!

All 3 heroku hosted sites which I look after appear to be up and running normally, despite the heroku console being unavailable. Not sure if auto-scaling is impacted yet. Edit: all my apps are in the EU region, which is eu-west-1 (Ireland)

I'm really only waiting on PITR for postgres before moving all my workloads over to render. Do you know when that will be available?

by bizzleDawg 5y ago
This! Plus it includes SSL provisioning, staging environments, background workers etc. Other competitors like render.com are starting to look like they'll be competitive on features and are way cheaper too.

Has anyone used saaspegasus? I've been on the fence about purchasing it.

This is an interesting point! It raises the question of what kinds of software products could a bootstrapper create and sell with a, say, $5K+ one-off cost? (genuine interest, not sarcasm)

by bizzleDawg 5y ago
Yeah, fair point. Money is important, but in tech it's unlikely to be the sticking point in the way it is for some others. e.g. my relatively normal rate as a freelancer has me earning over 10X what my mother earns as a receptionist (p

Also, choosing to build a meditation app is only a small part of this post really - making the leap of faith to leave behind (apparent) security is a much bigger part of this in my view. Hats off to you Troy!
