I don't have to make a living as a musician or podcaster, so can't comment on that perspective. What I do know is that greed changes things. If someone convinces you that you need to make "real money" from something you

Progress implies moving in a direction or towards a specific destination. Maybe the reasoning is that with a couple of billionaire philanthropists there is a smaller number of directions or destinations so the odds of hitting them is more l

I like traveling to experience different cultures and personalities, getting out of your comfort zone can be very rewarding. If you have the means, organizing social events in a safe space for other people to join is great for creating conn

Thanks for the comment. I'm not looking for technical advice on how to implement SaaS. I've done this a couple of times before with various technology stacks. I'm more interested in how to fund development, and fairly reward

The article doesn't mention POST. It says "the first time we call it the VM is created. The second time it is called the system detects that the VM already exists and simply returns without error". Makes more sense to assume

In government and business you can implement policy even if it doesn't align with your personal beliefs, it's called chain of command. No one cares if you're a true believer as long as the work gets done. How many churches wi

Contact lenses are a pita. I suspect it's going to be a smartphone-like form factor combined with a voice UI similar to the movie Her from 2013. Eventually the visuals on the phone screen will be replaced with a neural link. It would m

> individuals are simply not able to repair themselves in most cases This is the problem that needs to be addressed. The right to repair is not only about quality, price or durability. It is also a philosophical and strategic standpoint?

Good point, but I would guess sex work is not a menial job by a long shot. Being good at it probably requires more social skills than most jobs. If you meant lacking prestige, then yes, in some peoples eyes.

If the code is written clearly and it uses just SQL, I can almost immediately understand what is does. For ORMs it takes a lot more effort to understand what's going on when you read the code.

If you find yourself having to type insert queries over and over again, then you're probably doing something wrong. I mean it takes like what, 5s to write that line of SQL?

Interesting word choice, maybe. Consider the "banality of evil". We like to think of it as something sensational, perpetrated by outlier individuals or small groups of extremists. In fact, it's everyday acts that cause greate

Are you implying short and wide trains would be sensible? I like using a wide screen for programming, but prefer code formatted to 80 chars. That allows me to have two vertical windows of code open side by side. It also makes it easier to u

With AWS Lambda I try to avoid using API Gateway as it seems to me that is exactly where the lock-in occurs. Instead I have one catch-all route on API GW and I keep my routing layer in the app. This also makes it easier to run the app on de

Something like coil.com might be a viable alternative. At the moment I don't subscribe to news sites because of this issue. If I could pay upfront and then split it by usage I would definitely go for it

Cool, I thought about building something like this years ago. I wish the idea could be taken further, that is, all the information I consume (reading, watching, listening, etc) should be available to me for recall. Changes and current avail
