I stand corrected. Thank you
Plumbers, Truck drivers, Electricians, etc command 6 figure incomes and are mostly debt-free for choosing to take a different route to success and stability.
Also, men just aren't approaching anymore becasue it's too socially and financially risky to do so. School, Work, Church and now the Gym are off limits. So what are the options available for women to meet the smart, ambitious, moral, fit and attractive men?
There hasn't been enough women pushing back against the toxicity from their vocal minority. So some "good" men have decided to quiet quit.
I 100% agree. Following a couple implementation and security checklists is not hard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudine_(film)
... Throughout the film, Miss Kabak, a social worker, visits Claudine at her home and asks her if she is employed and if she is dating anyone. Claudine always claims to be unemployed and single, to make sure to get the maximum amount of benefits, which she desperately needs. If Claudine has a job or dates anyone and receives gifts from her boyfriend, the social worker has to deduct any money or gifts from her benefits, forcing Claudine to lie.
This movie was released in 1974. Though fiction, it's one of the examples used when people say that when government gets involved ($$$), it moves slow and breaks things for a long time.
I think people will always try to game/pervert a system, and unfortunately we all will have to suffer the consequences. For now.
Thank you. Any non-fiction?
I do the same. https://thealchemist.dev/reading-list/
Talk is cheap. Just let the results of your actions in the response to the zeitgeist speak for itself.
I can choose to not call the police, figure out what you really need, and solve the problem quickly. All while keeping the issue local and between us. That level of kindness cannot scale with a top-down approach.
My point was about government incompetence. We all know they move slow and break things for generations to come. Would you rather our issue remain small and in our community, or face a felony trespassing charge that can potentially negative affect the rest of your life and the people you may be responsible for?
I for one would like more government interference.
You do realize that every law is backed by violence, right? How many steps does it take to go from you choosing to no longer pay your property taxes to officers forcibly removing you from your home.
We know what can happen if you resist.
Our interactions on internet have done a great job in getting us to think that every thing needs to scale to the world. If you really care about the issue, solve the social problem locally and share the results and how you got there. If someone doesn't like it, they can always fork it, rinse and repeat.
Everything we allow the government to put its hands in inevitably becomes a disaster. See Social Security, Section 8 Housing, Education (Execution and Funding), Marriage, Divorce, Agriculture, Child Protection Services, etc. I can go on and on, but I think you get the point.
People and societies uplift themselves when they're forced to take responsibility.
No form validation, either.
It's good that it doesn't actually send sensitive data. The request zeros out the credit card and CVC code before the POST.
Otherwise, this kid would have opened himself up to a world of hurt.
I experienced this first hand with the manual sync button on one of my apps. I got feedback stating it didn't work when, in reality, there was no work to be done and the interface didn't have time to display 'syncing' before it finished.
The solution was to add a 50-300ms delay before the network request. Why? Because feelings and perception matter more than facts.
Yeah. I thought about that right after I commented, but their website says "content-focused" not interactivity. Every frontend developer who uses a framework (myself included) will eventually learn the hard lesson of "use the effing platform". Any barrier to serving and delivering HTML, CSS, and JS (for interactivity only where you need it) is a waste of time and energy. Maybe not at the start, but most certainly in the long term through package depreciation, repo weaponizations, or political activism.
The core web standards are designed for future and possibly non-human archaeologists to be able to view just about every web document created since 1991.
World's first website. http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
So if the job is to deliver content focused websites, then the best tools are those that are designed to get out of your way. Astro and the every other tool that is not a single executable is completely outclassed due to their reliance on package management ecosystems. People want fast consumption and production? Send fewer bytes over the wire, use less bytes to produce them, and let the platform do its job.
But this is just like my opinion, man. None of this matters if the power goes out. Fun game, though.
Yeah. Where's Zola or Hugo?
Yeah. Ditto to what my sibling said. Love it.
Pretty much my driving force. And it's not about getting rich. I'm solving my problems and looking for people who feel the way I do about how it should be solved. Since “there is nothing new under the sun” and I'm not special, the odds are in my favor.
Thank you. Today was the best day for the reminder.
I'm currently investigating Flarum for my forum. Have you seen it?
With or without you, I'll bankrupt the phone companies in 5 years.
I hope you're at least 5 years into your mission because slaying that dragon will take at least 10. How can I find, contribute, or fund your work? (decimal before dev)
Two Words. Data Density.
Same with this website.
Where can I learn more about this?

Dang. I was with you all the way until the bigotry.
Level up, dude; there are more important things to focus on.
People aren't trained to think that way, even though we're surrounded by hints. For example, what do we call the strongest enemy in a level?
This is a really impressive collection of notes.
Perfect wasn't the right word to use, but in the age of LLMs, deep fake images, video, and voice; No one should take to heart anything they see on these screens.
Don't take this the wrong way, I have no reason to believe that you're a real person and not a fun contrarian bot. And you to myself as well. :)
In either case, our wetware isn't suited for social interactions at this scale. I think small, invite only, social rings are much better than what we have now. Yeah, people are going to play silly games, but we won't see a solution to that for a very long time.
As for the people who are eager to explore the edges of controversial ideas; they should be aware of how to discern a group that values progression through challenge over one that demands consensus, and steer clear of the latter.
And to your final point about being useful to the world, it would be better to strive to build a system useful to just your loved ones and local community. Plenty of people exhaust themselves over words on a screen from fake people on the other side of the planet. We have enough ancient and contemporary text from philosophers and religious leaders to remind us that people, specifically the people physically around us, matter more than anything. But of course, there's no money to be made with IT cookbooks, so we don't talk about them.
Social solutions to social problems. Perfect!

Yup. Feelings don't care about your facts.
That's precisely how the USAF train their network troops. Monday through Friday for 8 months, they take you from transistors to routers. After that, you're given 2 weeks to study and pass Sec+. Most people pass on the first try.
It's a far superior system.
Agreed. Which is why I work in silence or low brown noise if I have to.
Hours of silence is very peaceful.
No need to vote. The easiest way to reduce your overall population is to educate your female segment. See every country with a birth rate below their replacement level. This is not a value judgement, it just happens every time.
There are a ton of these on youtube.
Align the "punchlines" to the beat changes, and you've got yourself a solid mix.
