Funny. The most obvious place for WASM is a web browser and yet WASM STILL cannot access the browser DOM. Its only been, what? At least 8 years of promises about it coming soon and how people are working on it.
But I think the "Other appliance anecdotes" part suggests that the author has very different requirements than I do. I grew up without a garbage disposal, but its a huge convenience to have one. Also I've had top loader washing machines that don't have easy access to the trap, gimme easy access to the trap ANY DAY and I don't care how its loaded.
1. I don't believe people actually hand type-in these values, so I'm not really concerned about the 'l' vs '1' issue. I do base 32 without `eiou` (vowels) to reduce the likelihood of words (profanity) sneaking in.
2. I add two base-32 characters as a checksum (salted of course). This is prevents having to go look at the datastore when the value is bogus either by accident or malice. I'm unsure why other implementations don't do this.
As someone who has undergone real burnout from burning the candle at both ends for to long, I wish it was this simple. Its sometimes called a mental or nervous breakdown, and the only real solution is to disconnect from everything you can (hard to disconnect from kids), and just try to get back to a stable place. For me that was living in a Costa Rica for 3 months with no TV and spotty slow internet. The only thing you can do is sit on the veranda and relax.
Theres a lot of things its really not good for and people have tried them all I'm sure. But where it fails the hardest is being able to increase sales volume for Amazon or increase ad revenue for Google - the only path to monetization seems to be to force it in - and THAT is what is dying.
And who the heck wants it in a ring or glasses??
I looked into them a few weeks ago because I am tired of the "Did you know.." and "Can I add that to your cart?" from Alexa. When I saw the device I was really disappointed. I can just never see getting one - it doesn't need a screen (cause it should be hidden) and why did they make it look like a 1960s sci-fi movie thing? IMHO it looks terrible.
The longer answer is that maintaining your current standard of living is not something you can do. You would need to make some sacrifices to get off the ground (roughly 18 months), even if you have a windfall of cash to take the time off you'd be sacrificing that windfall.
I have kids/wife/mortgages (plural), have started three companies, and worked in FAANG companies. I've never had a stellar exit but made some sustainable businesses. The cycle is basically feast and famine; 5 years at corporate job building up reserves and getting ideas, then 5 years of cutting back and getting a company off the ground. My wife doesn't really like the lean times, but she knows that is who I am (and dreams of big exits)
The advantage S3 offers is seamless integration with other AWS services
IMHO, the ease of integration has significant value, it would take a very sizable S3 bill for me to consider not using S3
Even with the most perfectly defined job description, you might have many candidates who "fit" that description, so you have to weigh a lot of other factors which run a huge gamut. Many, many times I've had multiple candidates that are more-or-less the same in terms of experience, technical competence, ability to learn, get shit done, etc - so you start looking at other factors and it can get down to things like communication, personal hygiene, general awkwardness, etc.
- They reject many times more than they accept. - They've already decided and its done. They don't want to debate and discuss it with you. - It avoids potential legal liability to just give everyone the same response.
Can you figure it out? Of course! If you were really interested, then after the meeting you would go and find out the answers to your questions. It will help you understand the business better and that can turn into better understanding the the reason for some of the software requirements.
I made a decent royalty, with a bunch of other terms which included buy-backs (e.g. returns) and other ways for the publisher to ensure they maximized their profit over mine. Over the course of 5 years I made roughly $35-40k, but that was spending a full year of 25/hrs a week on top of my day job, it works out to about ~$30/hr. I think if I were to quit my day job, continue cranking out 2-3 books a year, and collecting residual revenue, it would still be less than a 6 figure income (this was circa 2000 so $100k was +/-$160k equivalent) - certainly quite livable but also not stellar given that you have to be at the top of your field and on top of technologies all the time. My salary and my "side gig" contract rate were both hire at the time.
So...
Did I make much money? Not really.
Do I regret writing two books? Nope.
Am I proud of those books? Hell yes.
Would I do it again? Hell no. Way to much work.
Its easy to prove you are not acting in bad faith because your ownership precedes the trademark. I personally own and use several domains that others hold trademarks on, but all of mine were registered before those companies established trademarks.
Its extremely easy to use uuids as the primary key; make the column a `uuid` type and the `uuid-ossp` extension will generate them. Your sql would look like:
CREATE TABLE posts (
post_id uuid DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
PRIMARY_KEY(post_id)
