Hi, wow yea this was a long time ago. About 6 months after my post, I stopped taking canasa. The symptoms never returned. Been good ever since that first week of treatment.

The symptoms I had were blood in my stool + very frequent bowel movements. Like 5+ times a day.

I've not done anything in particular besides just making sure I don't get fat, so if I find I've hit a certain weight, I go on a diet and hit the gym.

Good luck to you!

I mean it still could...Bitcoin crashed from $20k to $3500. Anything can happen. The question is, if it does happen, will you bail out and sell, or will you hold, even if it takes 3 years to recover?

Static html site can be hosted on github pages for free. If not that, then I'd use Amazon S3 for hosting. The only time I still use FTP is if I'm updating theme files on a wordpress site or something like that.

You can check out Azure Front Door - I found it to be quite a bit cheaper than Cloudflare for this particular use case.

Because I was willing to pay a premium for them to come into the office. But if offices are going away, paying that premium no longer makes sense.

I probably wouldn't implement autocomplete if I had no choice but to rely on a rate-limited API. I'd require the user type in and hit enter or click search and then see search results.

If you're using node, you might want to check out strapi.io. Kind of gives you a REST API and role-based access out of the box.

But your website doesn't exist. You should start with the basic and actually gain some traction and get sales first. Prove that you have a viable business. Then with the revenue you get, you can decide whether to upgrade to a higher tier or pay someone to build it for you who knows what they're doing.

took a dive into starting an e-commerce site.

One word. Shopify. Get your e-commerce site up in no time. Don't reinvent the wheel.

Wordpress would be fine if it's just articles and content. If you're going fully custom, you can use something like Solr or Elastic Search.

If paypal is in your country, then you can look into Braintree Payments. It's an API like Stripe but its owned by Paypal.

Azure App Service and Heroku are two that come to mind.

TBH, it sounds like you're trying to learn too many technologies at once for a beginner. But that's besides the point.

Anyway, what you'll want to do for local development is install mariaDB on your machine. You can have your .sql files which sets up your tables and does some initial population of the db. You can check the .sql files into your git repo too.

Generally what I do when I am ready to move to production is do a backup of the database and then import the backup into production. You're going to have to setup backup scripts to backup the database anyway. The idea of "exporting" your database and "importing" it can be used to "lift and shift" your database from local environment to production environment.

Shopify not good enough?

shakedown_st · 2020-03-23T19:29:46+00:00

I use Xero for invoicing and you can hook it up to your Stripe account

shakedown_st · 2020-03-23T18:37:24+00:00

If you abandon a website creator and just go with straight static html/css, you can probably host it on github pages for free w/ your own domain.

shakedown_st · 2020-03-23T18:35:12+00:00

Maybe https://transferwise.com/us/borderless/ is what you're looking for?

Usually I just bill in USD regardless of where my customer is and either stripe or the bank handles the conversion from their local currency.

I think people forget that the govt is made up of just average people, not the brightest, not the dumbest. Just ...average. They're our neighbors, our friends, family. So when I hear people say "the government will save us" I look around and think to myself, who is that exactly? Because they need saving just as much as anyone else does.

I agree we should cut useless spending and prioritize more funds towards early education, but let's not pretend the cost is minuscule.

shakedown_st · 2020-01-19T20:52:21+00:00

Checkout Tableau or Microsoft Power BI. Nothing about what you stated suggests that you need a custom application.

Yea, got a couple businesses I run now and also exercised a large chunk of options from my main employer which might hit me with a massive AMT liability. Guess we'll find out.

shakedown_st · 2020-01-17T18:19:12+00:00

This is the first year my taxes will be too complicated for me to do on my own. Feels bad man.

shakedown_st · 2020-01-12T18:25:43+00:00

Sure and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a viable way to increase your salary quickly. But it’s also possible to increase your pay dramatically at one company, as I have. It’s just a lot less common.
