Hey! Author here! It's been 3 years since I wrote this article. I realized pretty soon I don't need as much resources. I think I'm at 17 bucks per month currently, and I have several more projects running.
My angle was more about the ambiguity of the status/using the phrase, but I can see how it may appear insensitive to others. It definitely wasn't my intention.
I just started following Bryan's journey two weeks ago.
I didn't get the same impression as you. I always thought it's implied he's talking about what's good for him, not all people. He then uses that as a framework for something others could pickup and incorporate in their lives.
I like the iterative nature of his work - he always tries to improve the recipes and supplements he takes.
I always see a lot of negative comments about the guy here on HN, and he's basically hacking his own body and publishes everything for free[0].
The article "Screw it, I'll host it myself" was on the first page for some time, and the traffic was crazy. Some people used my referral link for Vultr, earning me enough hosting credits to last me for a year for my little websites and development projects. [0]
Later that year, I posted a collection of my favorite hacking/coding movies and literature[1], and several people bought a book I wrote[2]. I did put a disclaimer for both, being a good netizen I am. :)
I just thought of a similar thing when reading the article. My question was more in the direction - will someone unearth my remains in a few hundred years? How many years does it have to pass for your bones to become something that might end up in a museum?
I guess a lot of people have the wish to be buried and left alone once they die. How do we deal with ethical questions regarding archeology? If you had an ancient burial site with clear writings on the entrance like "PLEASE DON'T UNEARTH US" :)), would that be honored?
That also makes me wonder - do you fellow hackers feel connected to your ancestors? Are generations that lived hundreds and thousands of years ago just fun stuff to look at when you visit a museum, or they're something more to you?
I'm getting off-topic now, but just like the vastness of the universe can make you feel small and insignificant, time may even be worse in that regards.
>Do the chickens lay eggs?
>>Yes. They are the best fresh eggs you’ve ever tasted. They are available for $20 each. Pick up only.
Wow, some expensive eggs! Is it because these chickens are now celebrities? :)
Kidding aside, I just bought a box of 10 eggs today for 4 euros (~4,15USD) and thought that was a bit expensive. Also from free-range chicken.
I can find "egg prices around the world", but I can't find a single site where I can filter results by the size of eggs and type of chickens. Here's an idea for a really unneeded SaaS!
After a long time, I visited Stallman's site because I woke up humming the free software song (weird, I know :). I forgot just how much information the man has put up there. Like him or not, he's a fascinating character. Not just that, but he stands for something the majority of us only profited from in our professional careers.
One other interesting article he wrote is about his decision not to have children[0]. I remember reading it for the first time some five years ago, sharing it with a bunch of friends, and ending up having a night-long discussion about it. I personally believe that he went a bit too far with that one though.
Hehe, just tried it with today's word and it made me laugh out loud. I guess that at the time the OP posted this, the word was more kind to his solution. :)

I lost the game and it seems there's a bug in the stats. Cool idea tho! As a person using the terminal all the time, now I have one more thing as an excuse to procrastinate while pretending to do some actual work. :)
Laravel. You'll get a lot of plug n' play stuff within its ecosystem. The community is at this point massive, so there's no doubt it will stick around for the time to come.
It's not a no-code solution, but the shallow learning curve will allow you to get up to speed in no time.
I am a practicing Markoist. I don't have any children, mostly living my life in solitude. Every morning I wake up, I feel different. Sometimes I think about killing myself because this shit doesn't make sense. Sometimes I hop out of bed feeling excited about everything, and I go out and do exciting shit. I believe in myself. I believe in finding the answers within myself. That's why I'm a Markoist, a religion named by the name my parents gave me. I think it's no different than any other religion I have encountered; this is just one I can own. I have a lot of extraordinary rituals I came up with. I do them daily.
I respect others, and all I want in return is the respect back.
All legitimate solutions, I agree. The thing is, it really sucks when this happens over the weekend. Alerting a colleague in their off-hours to be able to continue with your work is not ideal. Of course, it happens rarely, so you're making a good point. If it happened weekly, that would be another story. :)
Hmm, I think we understood 'local' as two different things. I understood it as a self hosted git server, like on premises in parent's company that he and his colleagues would use. Now that you mentioned it, I'm starting to think I understood it wrong.
