Presumably you could reconfigure it easily later. Which seems like a plus

Its not clear to me why youd need a tool to do this. Arent transactions and queue (say with celery) easy to write?

I don't see how the frameworks solve anything more than organising some tasks in a sequence. The underlying tasks still have to be idempotent.
Please do refute. I'm genuinely interested in this problem as I deal with it daily.

Tanha is about wholesome and unwholesome desires, ie those that lead to or dont lead to liberation. Its not about desires that do or do not change you, as this article is categorizing it.
Re:I hate screenshots of text
on Monday November 10, 2025 @11:29PM (#45884124)
Screenshots preserve exactly what the user sees, and for this reason i believe they are the best format for evidence. They also preserve their look when your messaging software starts doing funny things with it. They are immune to accidental edits. They are reliable in the sense that if the original source ever changed, no one would argue that you didnt see what you saw with a screenshot. They wont degrade when the content of a url changes.
We do use screenshots extensively, but alongside links and copied text when necessary

Re:What Monks Know about Focus

I suspect the reason is because Buddhism is lumped in with the other major world religions, and therefore considered a form of faith or belief. If the author knew Buddhism well then they would realise that couldn't be further from the truth.
Another possibility has occurred to me: they know Buddhism but don't want to scare away readers that have the above misconception. Actually I often find myself avoiding Buddhist terminology when I'm asked about my meditation practices.

How could you know when some phenomenon is an artefact of a simulator Vs an artefact of the universe we are in?

on Monday November 27, 2023 @12:28AM (#38428455)
I find the simulation argument is little different in nature to the argument that because something exists, someone (a god) must have made it.
And I think humans are highly susceptible to creating explanations without evidence.

Re:Ask HN: What do you think when companies ask for gritty people?
on Monday September 19, 2022 @04:18AM (#32895664)
I think avoid them. I have worked in maybe 10 different companies as a consultant and I get the feeling that the grit required is often needed to deal with poor internal practices or systems. If the work is simply hard, that to me should translate to needed skilled workers, not gritty ones.

Re:How to manage software developers without micromanaging

I was going to say basically this.
Let me add a thought. You manage something that needs managing, that is to say, problems. If you see people as problems, then you are the problem.
