oh thanks for asking! I have never been very goal oriented, and despite how this may sound, I am quite satisfied with what I have accomplished. That's sort of the problem, I am in a too comfortable position at the moment. So for me to pull the trigger in any direction I'll need some real motivation. Most of what I am exposed to at the moment seems irrelevant or not worth my effort. I need to keep trying things and find a way to break out of my comfort zone as cliche as it sounds ;d

- General lack of integrity at higher spheres (and where this can lead the world to)

- The current situation where distribution matters way more than product quality

- Lack of clear personal goals

been there, done that

unfortunately, the karabiner workaround will work for a little while, but the rest of the keys will start failing until it's impossible to remap the keys :/

this is the best thing internet since the last best thing in the internet

if Spain does that to protect LaLiga football games, god knows what they do against political rivals or movements such as Catalonia in 2017...or now?

Since we as a culture will be forgotten, a reminder that the catalan wikipedia was the 2nd one to have an article after the english version :)

if that's the argument, let's drop all the languages and focus on english :)

I walk by it every week and I still stop every single time. I was born and live in the neighbourhood and I've seen it progress. It's really inspiring to see man can conceive such beauty and wonder. I agree with other comments mentioning we software developers can/should especially appreciate it for the humongous endeavour, work in progress and feat of engineering it means. I also like to think Gaudi and Barcelona have impacted the way I see and appreciate design, and how I lamely try to embed it into my work!

are you sure Orwell wasn't referring to the actual Cathedral of Barcelona? (not Sagrada Familia)

Really state of the art project and available in catalan, hell yeah! Hats off

haha nice one, but mine is already struggling with all the glass effects

looks like my iPhone SE 2nd gen will need to survive a 6th year lmao

would be nice to find it :P

yeh, but not really... just channels with idlers and bncs

IRC is the epitome of the internet. Only downhill from those times. :/

this is simply great! godspeed with the project!

We are in a crisis of morals.

There has always been trashy people but since 2020 it feels like a lack of morals is rewarded more than ever.

That's a whole other topic. There's a relevant part of Barcelona's society who reject tourists in general (not Americans specifically) because of the impact tourism has had in the city. Note that many still haven't recovered of the impact of 2008 GFC, 2010-2012 slump, with incomes still under pre-2008, and who are now having serious trouble to even afford a roof. So even though there might be some minor hostility towards tourism, it has nothing to do with americans. It's a problem in every major european city I believe.

TLDR: Yes, of course.

PS: Happy to show you around if visiting Barcelona.

AFAIK fees are put by banks not the Paddle/Stripe. Stripe also 'charges' $15 for any dispute, even if won.

That was the spirit of the question, failing is good because it means we are trying :) Failure is part of the process to success (whatever success means to you)

Never let a good crisis go to waste. If you can use this one to finish the catalan middle class, go for it!

Living legend! Lifestyle biz bootstrappers ftw.

Since I cannot ask you your actual ARR, can you answer if you believe it's feasible to reach high 7 figures/low 8 figures in ARR as a solopreneur over a long period of time? I don't mean 1 year $10M ARR AI trendy apps, but a consistent $10M ARR business year after year >20 years.

What are you good at?

Yesterday, I got laughed at for "still" using ST. Today, HN delivers.

for what I understand, this is it.

I am not entirely sure of what you refer to with 'scripting' though (I assume crypto related), pretty broad word in our tech world :P

great take, do you mind to elaborate on the last point? :)

For anyone enjoying this type of content, I just happen to be reading The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan and damn, I never thought I could be so interested in all its cultural and religious context. So much to learn from history... but this time is different hehe ;)

There seems to be an obvious mistake which is that Catalonia is shown as part of Spain.

/joke

great job! :D
