I feel worth saying about 1: a non technology/software technical co-founder can still be technical but deep in their domain of expertise.

We have ample computing power today to be rid of floats altogether and use integers, fractions and natural numbers.

Amazing. And as another reply said, 1B Android devices with Photos. I hadn't put these together!

When Facebook was newish and introduced the ability to tag others in photos, I got shivers. I deleted Facebook that weekend purely because of that.

No doubt a shadow profile of me, perhaps several, exists in the dark webs of Meta and Alphabet with no limits on use or retention, but I'm having no part. I'm now curious where the GDPR stands on tagging people with no accounts.

Photos?

I may be missing out on something. Is Photos a big thing, and if so, how?

Everyday.

Just not being afraid to try stuff.

Self-efficacy is a powerful thing.

(Meta edit: Both Bandura and Young in a 5 word sentence. That postgrad pedagogy course was worth it!)

Children of GenX.

DEI?

What's wrong with a Diverse, Equitable, Inclusive world?

Of the podcast, not a fan. Nor of the book. But DEI, that's Startrek TOS/TNG bread and butter. What's the problem?

Having lived in Asia for 10 years I observed that I had gained the ability to squat, quite comfortably too, that I never had on arrival.

Funny old world.

Make it super easy for a customer to cancel a renewal.

You might get customers that lie.

But you might get customers that think they've cancelled when they haven't, from a sketchy internet connection to a workflow in their head that's different from yours.

Or they might not have realised they're on a recurring plan.

Or that small transaction means a lot more to them than it means to most customers.

If you notice a pattern or abuse of service, do raise this immediately with your provider.

> Has anyone asked information if it wants to be free?

Asked rhetorically. Of course information can't reply, right?

There's substantial context that this quote is often dislocated from of disempowered groups. Parties are unable to negotiate when power, power of self sovereignty or awareness of choice, rests with only one.

Growth, if a constantish %, is exponential.

The car occupants clearly didn't pay Boston Consulting Group or McKinsey to come up with an optimum span of control, as they'd surely been advised a management role wasn't necessary in a 2 person team.

On the other hand, a tank with 5-8 functional roles does have the role of tank commander.

Came here to say this, so just echoing.

A private banker and their team become problem solvers long term also almost like a modern butler servie. Have a kid that needs picking up across the country, they'll make it happen, or solutions to college applications, holidays planned, they're there to help.

See if they have Omega ;)

But as you say, if you know what Omega is you're probably not their customer.

There were rumours that the following year would be the year of Linux on the desktop. It had just taken, and was taking, the server world by storm.

Windows 2000 was really important for MS staying relevant in anything outside consumer. It really set up the next two decades.

Given the PDS server works on ports 80/443 and I'd like to use a domain (@nytimes.com in the documentation, but say @example.com), how does it interoperate with existing services that already operate on @example.com , for example a website, blog, cloud.

I'd imagine this use case is quite common for self hosters. If it can't operate alongside an existing, say, nginx on this port, are there recommended alternate practices?

I'm excited at separating identity from hosting, of which self hosting identity gets us closer.

Laptop (Debian): At the end of the day. Also when travelling. It's fully encrypted with a boot password stronger than my user (sleep/resume) or root passwords.

What was your multi hundred million dollar company?

That sounds like some quick kills to be easily made.

I use a dev machine that's quite archaic compared to a modern server, a 2nd gen i5 ThinkPad to be precise, that struggles to top 20ms for a request including loading a user and data object, joined tables and all, via ORM from Postgres running locally with a few hundred thousand records in said tables, before touching anything like explicitly adding caching.

Check your indexes, joins, general DB design and in-app looping. Flask's not your problem. You'll have equal or worse woes (if lower level with less hand holding) with anything else.

Dedicated server?

Take a look at serverhunter.com

Look into Flexcube docs to more fully answer your questions. It's a reasonably well established core banking product, or series of products.

You have passed Level 1.

Level 2: Put a form and form elements in it.

Level 3: Do it with flex.

MacClippy seems like a useful bot. Similar to AI chat windows on websites without the second guessing.

> if Telstra were to peer with CloudFlare then they would only have to move traffic over about 30 meters of fiber optic cable between our adjoining cages in the same data center. Now Telstra will need to backhaul traffic to Free customers to Los Angeles or Singapore over expensive undersea cables.

Did Telstra ever do anything?
