    Thanks, yes, I agree with all of those points. Perhaps still a big enough space for a bootstrapped indie business, for lack of VC scale. NMEA is quite interesting, though. Coupled …

    I haven't noticed many startups working on bringing modern tech to recreational sailing and cruising. Systems aboard a typical 35-50 foot sailboat produce interesting data streams,…

    Very small (less than 20 people) non-tech businesses, especially those with on-site culture can actually benefit a lot from such a deal. The management UI's are actually useful and…

    That does sound interesting. Also for the fact that I'd never seen clojure and javascript living in the same codebase, I was expecting python for data handling. But I digress. I be…

    Ah, I guess I was wrong earlier when saying that this was not a problem with the tool. Merely allowing fallacies seemingly has an adverse affect on the whole promise. Thanks for th…

    I hear you. But is that a problem with the tool, or the lack of sufficient contribution on the topic from sufficiently interested and invested people like subject matter experts?

    Ah, I had forgotten that https://en.arguman.org/ even existed, until reading this. This dates back to 2014 where Turkey was still struggling with the aftermath of widespread civil …

    This is awesome! Do you plan on adding different types of boats with varying sailing characteristics? Adding a multihull could be an amazing second option for those who want to com…

    Since you seem to be really into making yogurt and like your science, I wonder, have you ever tried using "dew" as your starter? There's an old (unfortunately dying) tradition in T…

    I live in Turkey where yogurt is an essential part of our diet and culture and nothing beats a homemade pot with a thick layer of cream on top. I can assure you, you'll never need …

    Hmm, I think have gotten my physics backwards with regards to the correlation of more pressure to more downward force. Thank you for correcting this.

    Fat can naturally float on water due to its density being less than that of water. The more fat one has, the less overall average density becomes, making it harder to sink. I have …

    > so that you get pushed to the surface with zero effort This is not always true. Your buoyancy decreases as you go deeper (and have more water above you, causing more downward pre…

    Well, all I can say in light of your response is your clients are very lucky to have you. This is by far the most no-bullshit and the most mature point of view I've heard on this m…

    So you write some piece of code that looks like it can be used elsewhere, perhaps as a library. What happens in that case? Can you not use it without your client's permission? I th…
