The most strong signal I get is that substack is putting in a lot of money seemingly to bootstrap content.

Naive question: I package small and midsize Go projects as deb packages all the time and find it relatively easy. All you need is the binaries and some config. Cross-compilation is easy with Go, so what exactly is a problem with k8s? Isn&#x

That's the money line. Easy to understand, if you understand it.

My grandma went to university lectures until she approached the age of 90, and the only thing holding her back now is her bad ear and bad leg. The mind is a wonderful organ.

Yes, imagine SAP and Telekom would have said: see, we are so profitable and rich beyond our means by extracting value from our economy each and every day, we want to give something back and build this app for free. What kind of ad this woul

The recent COVID-App is a prime example of that. SAP plus German Telekom, neither of which is known for innovation, grab a 60M plus deal to develop a single app. In Italy a startup took over the job for 1/50 of the price and with at le

If I would have went deep on a weekend hack I did once, I would probably looking at $25K MRR or something like that. But article is good, nonetheless, everything needs a balance.

Microsoft is just another company trying to make money anyway it can. Linux as a project would probably even exist, if nobody would pay for it - just because people can imagine another world, where not everything is about money. The differe

I was once in the position to test 3M possible inputs - that took only a few minutes. It's a good strategy to keep in mind.

Can someone enlighten me on the psychological wiring of people like these? Do you even think a moment about anything else than you very own well-being, no matter the (societal) costs? Is your relation to the world a purely instrumental one?

EAV [...] my thoughts exactly. My last encounter with EAV was briefly said disastrous. On the other hand, HW gets better and better, and if you are able to do on the fly, what used to be a "cached" entity, then there you go.

Except text-only forums like HN I do not frequent any social media. I get very specific information out, if I want it but that's it. It amuses and scares me that literally billions of people spend hours every day with nothing but scrol

I took over half a year off of work, but I did smaller jobs in that time, while my partner was taking off and getting money from state.

The tools you use will shape the things you build. That's why I use vim because I long for simplicity, clarity, reduction.

The amount of javascript used for the simplest of websites is getting out of hand. In 2025 we'll be back at "server-side rendering", aka mostly static sites, I promise.

My impression too. I earn my money turning your mess into a data "landscape" - I saw people wanting to jump on the ML wagon, who did not even heard of version control for code before. Not a winter, no, but a long bumpy road ahead.

That's not how the game is played. If you cannot the release the code because the code is too ugly or untested or has bugs, how do you expect anyone with the right expertise to assess your findings? It reminds me of Kerckhoffs's p

Nice to see Linux in automotive. Recently, Daimler CEO mentioned that they understand now, that they need an operating system. Guess what, he said: "think of Windows for cars" That made me laugh hard. If they do what he says, it w

Brilliant ruthlessness brought us one of the most destructive tools on earth, disguised as a site for peace, love, cat content and happiness. There were a million different ways to design a communications tool for people that would have res

The more corrupt your environment, the more corrupt you will want to be. From the outside, the US looks like a state, where big money is running the show, will benefit from every crisis, etc. What do you expect, when all the elite cares abo

It's not necessary, just as it is not necessary that a much more "individualistic" approach would lead to better country (take US as an example).

Oh my, more state money would mean probably a more equal society - more money for roads, schools, teachers, research labs, health care, infrastructure and much more. All things by the way any entrepreneur is happy to "take" or acc

I distinguish at least two kinds of work: one where you earn money because you have no other sources of income. And work that relates to whatever you are doing on you own behalf - which can be very productive as well. The first kind of work

And that is not per se bad. What is bad is that there no safety net whatsoever and losing a job in the 21st century can feel a bit like having put out out in the desert in the neolithic. Case in point: many European countries with safety ne

One good thing about this is: An actually free and open ecosystem will emerge - it will take time and countless people-hours but it will happen and it will prevail.

As soon as I learned that Sam Altman is involved, I could infer the direction. I cannot recall Sam being activist for anything open - but I do remember him as a the "head of the startup world", aka creating exclusive opportunities
