I am inclined to agree with this. There are plenty of people burnt out.

What's the alternative? Make things easier? Pay them more so they can take longer off? Get youtube to present older videos to people so the creators don't have too much of a revenue dip while they take a week off?

There are plenty of self employed people. It's no one else's fault if you get burnt out.

This is really interesting, well done! Seems like you're getting a lot of cynical people on here, you might be interested in posting this story on indiehackers.com

I certainly have never sold a product I developed. Have you?

I'm confused - are you saying that Afghanistan triumphed?

It's certainly not a win for the US there.

Or for the people there. Is it possible that all sides lost?

I mean, the major difference is that with the Afghanistan, the US troops just get to return back home after fighting in the disaster that Afghanistan has become. I think it would be a bit more different when you have nowhere else to come back to, other than the place you just unsuccessfully destabilized and ravaged.

The democratically elected leader was over thrown by the Communist party and the Soviets invaded to support the illegitimate communist government.

The US supported the anti-communist opposition, and the Soviets withdrew and Afghanistan returned to democratic elections.

Like all things politics, its all how you spin it. Perhaps the real loss was what happened after the US spent over $1T to spread democracy in Afghanistan, they began electing the Taliban as their democratic leaders, and we ultimately went to war against the Taliban costing even more. That firmly established the US believes in democracy so long as we also support the party that wins the elections.

> Perhaps the real loss was what happened after the US spent over $1T to spread democracy

Yes, this is the event we're talking about. Not the one in the 80s.

I think the point is that the US military with vastly superior firepower, organization and funding failed to conquer (i.e., control) the country.

Did we win Afghanistan? Did we win Vietnam?

>Did we win Afghanistan?

The Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan and the illegitimate communist government was ousted right?

Yes, and then? There was this US-vs-Taliban thing...

Entirely different war and entirely different enemy.

It would be like equating WWI Germany with WWII Nazi Germany...but who knows, maybe people do that.

If citizens had guns, they would be less likely to stick soldiers in front of them without some sort of heavy armour between them. I.e. a tank

I am also of the mind that all the social media platforms do this. I hardly ever use Instagram, but whenever I get a notification from someone I know is obviously fake I always get caught in the rabbit hole of my feed.

I've installed this and now realised I only want a few of the apps installed. Is there an uninstall command?

The packages that get installed are: git curl wget zsh tmux neovim

It depends on what OS/platform you are using to uninstall a package.

The configuration files are in the ".dotfiles" directory of your home folder. You can remove one or all of them from there and restart your terminal.

I think that depends on whether those extra few $k mean the difference between needing to move back home and staying out in SF

Hi guys,

I'm Chris and I just wanted to show something I've been working on in the evenings between nappy changes.

Due to these nappy changes development is slow going, but so far the feedback I've received has been positive.

I'd love to get some feedback from some of you serial car buyers as to whether you would find a tool like this useful.

Thanks!

Really good idea, a much simpler and lighter solution than import.io

Do you use proxies to stop your requests getting blocked or are you just going balls to the wall and making requests from your server's ip(s)?
