If the source of truth is SAP, why not just build a service that gets the data you need from SAP? > has to be imported all at once due to some issue I don't understand that prevents incremental updates. Has to? Seems like a straight

It’s sad how many people here cannot see the world through any other lens but money made on the market. The fundamental issue with our environmental crisis is externalities. Chopping down every tree and strip-mining the planet is not a g

You’re conflating FU money with financial freedom. FU money is being able to quit without worrying about expenses before finding another means of living. Financial freedom is reaching retirement threshold (financial escape velocity): having

As someone who runs a software agency, kanban sounds like nonsense. If you don’t know exactly what you’re doing, for whom, by when, you fail to meet expectations by delivering the wrong thing by the wrong time. There is design & estimat

Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life. Let’s be honest: fishing in the USA is a tough full time job, even if you love it. You can’t relax by the ocean catching a few fish to pay rent and support your family.

Second this. It pairs really well with “How to win friends and influence people”. These two books leveled up my interpersonal communication 1000x

Thanks! I feel like these discussions would be so much more fruitful if they were centered around dissecting real products.

Imagine if every time there was an article about ice cream people had to comment that they don’t like ice cream.

You touch on something that bugs me about these discussions: Lack of proof. Show me the web app with killer UX developed with htmx. Show me the product of the tools and processes being advocated.

Server-side apps cannot provide optimistic UI. No matter how you feel about it, they are limited in this capability compared to client-side apps. The user doesn’t care about the technology. For example, imagine a todo app that shows a new

You can use shellac-finished wooden plates and bowls. Biodegradable, natural, doesn’t break, lightweight, carbon-neutral material.

Yes, but no. Yes I will pay to verify my identity. But no, I want to control my identity: My own domain. My email is “verified” (I own the DNS) but I can move to another provider while keeping my email. Public key identities work the same w

I personally think it’s safer to enforce data constraints in application code, because “bad” data won’t break it. Putting the constraints in the database means your application is coupled to whatever database you use. Worse, because databas

Relatively ineffective according to what? The study linked in another comment shows a simple Brita carbon faucet filter being very effective.

Same advice applies. Most people have an unnecessary amount of clothing which makes laundry a big job. You need one set of sheets. But you only need to wash once every 2-4 weeks if you shower before bed. If you do gym and sport, you only ne

It works more or less like it did before. The media is mostly histrionics, as usual.

Don’t create it. Use battle-tested approaches and frameworks that scale. Do quality work, at a sustainable pace.

Reduce the laundry you need to do. I only own three outfits. Hand washing a single outfit every day takes less than 10 minutes. Costs nothing. Hang dry. No folding.

Sell something first. Don’t register a business or get a separate bank account before demonstrating sales. I say that from experience. Nothing feels worse than paying taxes and fees for losing money :)

Why normalize? Go even further and use a universal relation / Entity-Attribute-Value pattern. One table with columns entity_id, type = assert|retract, key, value Essentially, use SQL as an immutable key-value store and use views for q

Interesting. Scale is an often overlooked aspect of politics. On this point, I highly recommend “The Breakdown of Nations” by Leopold Kohr, which is an entire treatise on the (negative) effects of size on nations.

“In the case of a taxpayer’s specified research or experimental expenditures for any taxable year” … Seems pretty obvious to me that the section only applies to what is claimed as R&E. Software development doesn’t have to be claimed a

I don’t think the law says all software development has to be part of a mandatory R&E credit. It says “For the purposes of this section…”, so it doesn’t apply if you’re not claiming R&E credit.

by fogzen 3y ago
Yup. Exactly. And from that perspective this is actually a good thing, because now you don’t have to worry about whether software development qualifies as R&E.
