Incredible, I've been scrolling through these comments thinking of my own passion which is Final Fantasy VII speedrunning. Fell in love with the game as a kid and only recently discovered the FF7 speedrunning community who are amazingly kind and generous. The runners themselves are incredibly helpful and can be found on Twitch. There's also a Discord where technique, glitches, and skips are worked on and improved.

I'm working on running in the 100% category which currently has a world record of 17 hours 38 minutes, it's a marathon of concentration. I'm not a young single person so finding the time to do a run has been the hardest part.

For casual players there are a ton of mods that make the game more challenging, updates for the graphics, and tons of other really interesting modifications. I love the New Threat V1.5 mod and the Chibi style character model updates.

I wish this would happen to food production, local growers setting up small operations of good quality organic food. I can imagine multiple tiny operations enabled by automation and hydroponics growing food to supply their town. I feel like this will happen but not in my lifetime.

We already have alot of unit and integration tests as high coverage was a primary metric from the start. I'm not convinced on the value of alot of the tests though so this could be somewhere to focus on.

I have introduced E2E/UI testing using TestCafe which benefits the relationship between Devs, Quality Analysts, and Business Analysts. Mainly because it forces all three parties to work together to define the UI level testing up front which acts as a contract when signing off completed work.

Reminds me of the Travelers TV show when the Historians are getting an update.

If you don't have, or don't think you have, a concrete reason for your insomnia then try this.

When you yawn or feel drained go to bed, take a nap, or find a quiet toilet cubicle and close your eyes for ten minutes. Don't ignore your body.

If your at home and have the option to sleep what I find works for me is lying flat on my back. Then relax, in sequence, your forehead, shoulders, upper arms, lower arms, fingers, chest, stomach, groin, upper legs, lower legs, toes. Take around 1 minute to relax your whole body. If you can't relax something tense it up, then release it.

Once your fully relaxed close your eyes and clear your thoughts. What works for me is trying to focus on a spot in the dark directly in front of me. As your mind wanders pull it back to focusing on the spot in the dark. Sometimes I need to repeatedly relax my forehead and eyes while doing this, just let your eye sockets go limp.

Occasionally when you are pulling yourself back from your thoughts to focusing on that spot in the dark it can be jarring. Just keep trying. Eventually I fall asleep.

I've noticed recently that this is meditation, except without the sleep part.

There was a post on HN a few days ago from someone who wrote a book called "The first 100" or something similar. Could be helpful? I'll try find the link...

My next project thank you :)

My understanding of unicorn is that it's worth 1 billion+ without generating profit?

I think this question is interesting, what can we do about it?

Or just build Caddy from source?

I've just this week built stripe into my app. I use CRA with an ExpressJS server to communicate with the Stripe API. I use Stripe to manage everything, the only part I needed to implement was the webhook endpoint for cancelled subscriptions so I can disable the account on my end and another endpoint I call from the frontend to create the specific plan the user picked.
