Just use TypeScript frontend and backend. For backend, use Node+Express+TypeScript. If doing anything in ML, create a service in Python, but keep application code in TypeScript.

If you are doing full stack development, this works much better. The npm ecosystem is amazing. You can create common libs, share types, don't have to context switch and all future developers can do some full stack.

This is the boring stuff, but works and scales.

Sucks. More than the system it's the silly woman who called the cops. Instead of helping the child she did a great disservice to him and his entire family.

I had a similar hiccup when I first came to US when our apt neighbor called cops because my 1 year old was screaming. Crazy, I know.

This country thrives on fear - health, insurance, legal, weapons - the biggest money making industries in US all feed on fear economy.

That seems too much even for this. What did the cops said? Children are screaming all the time with tantrums

There is a great poem call "If" by Rudyard Kipling. I feel it defines pretty well the traits of a happy person.

Ive always hated "If" as it captures that British Imperialist viewpoint at that point in history

Its background is that it was written as a tribute to Jameson after the failed Jameson raid - which was an attempted South African coup

I didn't know the background but I'd agree though not necessarily as strongly as hating it.

To me, the poem paints an unreachable ideal of being that just doesn't resonate with me at all. It may just be me but in my mind it feels naive.

There is a beautiful (to me) recitation of "If" performed by Dennis Hopper that I have saved along with several other similar recordings, all of which have helped me immensely over the years. Thank you for reminding me that it's about that time of year to watch/listen to it again!

YouTube link of the recitation for anyone interested: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4EZhc_YZ2fs

Best to do it as exempt or retainer. Hard to build or do anything creative while counting hours.

DM me yusuf.nb @ gmail, I might be able to help.

Google did encroach. Google office/docs is much better than Microsoft. Chrome OS is a better OS for most non-tech jobs. The browser is the operating system for most people, and Chrome is leading in that. They won on mobile as well with Android. Google Workspace, in my opinion, is much better than Microsoft.

It's their outdated search bringing everything else down it seems.

Google Docs is not anywhere close to as powerful or as performant as Microsoft Office. I don’t really see how someone familiar with both forward suites could think that is the case.

Pretty much the only notable advantage MSO for my use is excel, which is better for "advanced" spreadsheet workloads. For collaborative work and 99% of documents and spreadsheets, Google docs is the superior option.

I haven't opened a MS product in years and my life is better for it. Their Mac product lineup is particularly lackluster.

Email - it brought the world closer in a way it was never before.

That's capitalism. The optimization function works towards maximizing profit over value.

For a $2 sandwich, I would need to sell 100 at $3 to make a $100 profit and just 10 at $12 to make the same.

That only works if there isn't any competition.

I needed a specific ID-based ordered tree implementation for a project. Amazing that ChatGPT was able to write the entire code, unit tests, and documentation for it.

PS: I was looking for an app to track time against a list of value adds. More like daily task related activity logs with option to add time. So we built this internally and later launched as a SaaS.

I think the whole point of creating a company should be to provide value in a sustainable manner. And you need to make money for that. So the end goal should be to maximize value and not money.

When money becomes the main goal, companies eventually turn on evil side.
