Every company mid sized onwards has dedicated FP&A teams that do rolling forecasts at least 2 quarters into the future and also have an operating plan (budget) decided before the FY begins. Projections go out to Wall Street. Executives look at top line summaries, upcoming revenue streams, profitability ratios and so on. Decisions are made on those numbers

> only 5 lines of javascript in the whole infernal thing. No thanks, I won't be having any of that in my program

I feel exactly the same way. HTMX is a godsend. That and a Tailwind UI purchase can make anybody very dangerous at frontend. I'm curious for other viewpoints though: what exactly about js gives that icky feeling. For me it's just the inconsistent syntax. With TS, on the other hand just seeing a node modules folder makes me nauseous. The whole thing gives me a feeling of a lack of control over what's happening and has thrown me off front end for many years until now

Thank you so much for Appwrite! The community on Discord is very helpful and the self hosting guide is great. Very unlike my terrible experience with Supabase who seem to do their best to cripple the self hosted option

It might be just me, but I think reading hard sci-fi is much more educational and memorable, not to mention entertaining, than non fiction

Spoilers for Three Body Problem: For instance, I can never forget the way the Alcubierre drive is explained in the final book, or the benefits of particle accelerator with the circumference of the asteroid belt

> And the fact is: the CEO did not. It's deception, plain and simple. Not big, evil, Theranos-level deception, but deception still.

If you think the blog post is bad, just watch the video on windsor's website: https://www.windsor.io/#video

The CEO plainly says he has time to work on other important things. Jesus, even creating the video in the first place, requires you to say Hey First Name

Apologies for commenting before reading the article. But I'm curious what the sales process is for spyware. I understand the underground groups do all their stuff anonymously, but what sales ops do legitimate companies like NSO Group practice? Do they have sales targets/quotas? Do they vet their clients? What channels do they sell through?

Hey, I'd give anything for more people to be interested in space! If saying something like it rains diamonds on a planet to make people at least mildly interested in this kind of thing, I'm all for it, even though such a thing is banal at the cosmic scale

Taste buds also become much less sensitive at high altitudes apparently

Please, humans are overrated. They lie, they cheat, they conceal and they are certainly biased. In my city an unmarried couple or people of certain religions are not allowed to rent some places
