Revolution, of any kind, or even a restricted series of change cannot be organized through the internet.

All wait on significant shifts about how most American communities interact.

It may be a while

If it is stupid and it works it’s not stupid.

I’m going to use it

Older people can get shut in, and be inactive, far more often than even a generation ago.

The best time to develop healthy habits is years ago. The next best time is now.

I have a theory that it becomes exponentially harder to change what a county is, the more years that tech develops.

If there is no change in the USA, for the better, in the next two decades, there never will be

When I graduated with my bs in programming I thought I had at least a little knowledge of most programming

Years later, I can safely say I know very little, maybe aware of 1% or 2% of just the names of the major parts of tech in programming . Details even less.

And I read a lot

Dev mode is when developing by the programmers. Production means used by others.

When I am working with a service, I want to know immediately when there is a problem.

When I push my code to be used, the dev flag is off and the code does stuff as normal.

For example: if I am making a payment service using a third party, I use sandbox and fake cc numbers. I want things to fail loudly on my computer so I can make things fail silently. And safely, when it’s used with real money. But I can only do that if I know there are issues. And only logging lets some bugs be unnoticed , particularly if a cluttered log. So being loud in development saves tears in production

Revenue is not profit. Im sure he is correct and still loosing more money per day than historically possible for earlier companies. Propped up only by the largest scam in history

Having read the other comments about the hard point is not the tech but the marketing.

My suggestion is to not use internet to advertise at all, at least at first. Advertise by having beta testers use it for free in your community. And be a delivery person yourself. Be your own first and most frequent customer, ( as well as the delivery person). Have friends and relatives use it. Deliver to them.

Always talk to businesses and users face to face, in your community.

All good points!

Also, I’ve learned from others that how you crash depends on the environment, if running in dev, be different than if the thing is used by the public or in production.

• In a script, dump too much data if dev, in production keep it terse but have relevant info and a link to the docs.
• In a gui, webpage or app make the crash screen in dev be a thing of beauty that has the full stack trace, database info , and more. But in production only generate a polite message that is vague, with an error code. Push that error to a logging service with the code. And if this is not used by the public but by a company that paid for it, have a feedback button or live chat button, in the error message, to talk with tech support.
• Backend services and libraries: if in dev mode crashes should be loud and definitely break things, while in production log silently and keep working.
• And for any type of program: always back up data, and always use transactions to not have the database or files be in an incomplete state if an exception happens.

formatting edit

I use the catastrophe theory of error handling: if something fails sanity checks or throws an exception, then kill it with fire: crash the whole program and make the users cry.

True, it’s a pain but… no more hidden errors that get reported two years later

Lots of people have motivation, but have no community.

It’s like a car stuck in neutral gear

Both are similar too: “why won’t it work? I copied/inserted it…”

I’ve been watching this clock for 40 years, also watched it get enshitified the last 20 years.

It has always been a symbol of empire, run by many the same fools who enabled the madness. But the revolving door and who contributes got worse since the 1990s. And it’s just some thing now.

They may be wrong or correct, who am I to know. But not to be relied on, I think

I still remember when many action movies and tv series had the bad guys be Palestinians, or failing that Islamic, or trying to attack Israel.

To have the same producers (most have not retired yet) stick their necks out to humanize Palestinians, or highlight real issues, is simply unrealistic.

Anyway, eagerly waiting for the release of x-men:part 38, attack of the antifa

I think the glorification of the brutality is better than the indifferent platitudes, it’s almost more humanizing

Yes, like a bruise on a person showing up on the skin after an injury

There is nothing militarily nato can do. Even if different countries wanted to help more and actually fielded armies, it would be a stalemate. Only a political solution will work.

On one website we can have 8,000 bot calls in a few minutes looking for vulnerable code.

It’s enough to make some people paranoid, especially when building the front end and backend with hundreds of libraries and their dependencies, all managed by unknown people

Ship building: the USA cannot easily replace sunk or damaged vessels. But China can.
