canada is very protective of its regulated fields. if you didn't graduate in the US or Canada, it's very hard for an immigrant to become a vet/dentist/doctor/lawyer/engineer/accountant/etc. So these people end up in a rut where they are either delivering food, or stuck in an entry level job forever

indeed you should avoid postgres if all you need is saving files on a disk. that's exactly the point. people reach for complex client side frameworks when all they need is to render some markup.

not trying to be facetious or anything, but I doubt their product team is worried about customers that are mad they have to click a few extra buttons to save 1 or 2 dollars per month

half finished projects that you developed on your own don't hold that much value. They may pad those green stats, but those can be faked quite easily. It's contributions to projects with other contributors that really matter.

it's at least one server (_any_ computer that never turns off) hosting things you would use (and probably pay) on a day-to-day basis.

The most important point is to be available all the time in multiple devices that you own, that's why some folks don't want to do these things on their main machines. A laptop you could take it away, and your family at home would/could lose access to the things you're hosting. A beefy desktop might be a bit too power hungry to be on all the time.

this kind of harms the appeal of a homelab. If you search youtube, you will find many creators sharing their labs. But when you look at the services they host, 80% of it is just stuff to maintain their infra (hypervisors, monitoring tools, high availability stuff, etc).

All of this is very interesting, but not very useful. I'm personally most intrigued by how people are maxing out their old hardware for years, like many examples in this thread

Seconding the sentiment on this thread, I used this book to learn JS 5 years ago, and it's awesome. I've never seen another resource as good. YDKJS is more of an advanced treatment. If you're a beginner it feels academic, while Eloquent JS is very practical and approachable.

true, I do the same when I'm looking for truenas or proxmox answers

For that kind of risk profile, you can't have an account anywhere (not even HN), nor a cell phone

and that's the main issue with Canada, there's not enough houses being built. And no interest in doing so, apparently

this strategy goes down the drain for any profession that relies on being on one of the big cities to thrive. What do you suggest for those people?

if it continues for another decade? It's already unaffordable now

I have a raise, the build quality is definitely top notch. But their software/firmware is very underwhelming if you want to do anything besides basic key remapping and basic layers.

I just ended up giving up on trying to use their stuff, and opted for software based remapping instead

For me it was never about speed, it’s about comfort. I always unconsciously hated having to reach for the arrow keys all the way to the right of the keyboard to select words and move around.

I agree with most of these. This one needs to be careful though

> Yoga fixes lifelong back pain that drugs, swimming obsessively, chiropractors and workouts could not fix.

I'm healing a back problem that Yoga would definitely just make it worse

yeah, foods with more fiber will also make you less hungry, which in turn makes you eat less calories...

CICO is a great approach for the general population, and works great even amongst professionals that have weight management as their career (bodybuilders).

you're technically right, but just nitpicking. Of course you could count the calories in fibers and that wouldn't make you fat, as your body can't process that. But most people do not eat fiber for 90% of their meals

if your weight didn't change, most likely you were eating at maintenance. The fact that you have a surplus every now and then won't change your body composition. Consistency matters a lot with regards to human weight.

To add to what someone else said, you probably ate below your threshold to be able to maintain your weight. You can't guess this, the only way to get an accurate ESTIMATE on how much you actually ate in calories is to measure. Even pros over/under estimate what they eat in terms of calories

> In a lot of places, mortgage payments are around the same as rent, so if you can "buy" (qualify for a good mortgage) you'll be paying less AND your net worth will be growing

sure you'll be paying less, but you'll also be buying a lot of risk. You don't own anything until it's fully paid, and if the interest rates skyrocket good luck with bankruptcy

Had a similar experience. Stayed at a 4.9 star superhost place, and the place was terrible. Very cheap and uncomfortable furniture (I had to buy my own pillows in order to sleep), and the place smelled of sewage most of the day for some reason (not due to bad cleaning).

I left a bad review. They just deleted it saying it was against their TOS.
