acoup.blog has a much more in-depth look at ancient sparta. https://acoup.blog/2019/08/16/collections-this-isnt-sparta-p...
(Edit, the author is Bret C. Devereaux)
And a long-running series on the "Fremen myth", which is similar to the retro-spective glorification of/mythology around Sparta. https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-...
At any rate, that blog is a must read for any history-myth-debunker, especially around military. Also highly recommended is their analysis of the LotR battles and campaigns, which fare well historicaly, and the GoT, which ... doesn't.
He also does medieval game reviews!
Double thumbs up for acoup.blog - it's what I fall back to reading if HN doesn't have anything interesting.
His work is also really well sourced, so it's a great jumping off point if you are looking for more work on the subject.
His sparta series, and the fremen series are absolutely outstanding.

I'm trying to login to auth0 to make some config changes, but it's not loading for me.
Auth0's status page says "all is well", but I suppose uptime pages are just marketing pages these days...
Anyway, is this happening for anyone else or is it just me?
UPDATE: it's back up now

There are a few 'long form' creators like Jenny Nicholson (I recommend the one about the failure of the Star Wars Hotel!).
Contrapoints (eg the Twilight one), Big Joel's (recently made a 6hr one!), FoldingIdeas and so on. It's a very different model, and a number of these creators also make videos for Nebula.
They also use patreon as a significant source of recurring revenue, so they can create a small number of high quality videos instead of putting out content constantly.
It's a very different business model, and it doesn't have the potential to become as profitable as Mr Beast.
adeeshaek commented on A Few Notes on the Culture by Iain M Banks (1994) theculture.adactio.com/... · Posted by u/Bluestein
I read them all in the last year and have since been searching dejectedly for something that comes close.
Indeed, it's excellent. Banks created something singular with the Culture, and he brings it to life with wit, energy and impressive imagination.
The polity novels by Neal Asher scratch a similar itch - the polity is much less utopian than the culture, but the world building is quite similar. I would recommend the Transformation arc as a good starting point!

This thread seems to be getting some views. I'm looking to break into the Rails work, but it seems rough trying to get into a job doing Rails work as a junior, not quite senior role. I have other development experience, primarily in Ruby and Objective-C.
Any advice? I know the job market is a bit of a rough one right now as well.
If you are looking to become more competitive as a candidate, I strongly recommend that you look at one of the more popular languages / frameworks instead of focusing on Ruby on Rails.
Despite the major investment made by Stripe and Shopify, my experience is similar to that of this commenter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40161561 - like them, I've found the open source libraries available in the Ruby + Rails ecosystem to be aging and less well supported than that of more popular languages / frameworks like GoLang / Java / Python.
Rails is delightful to work in and very thoughtfully constructed, and the Rails community is helpful and welcoming. However, if your priority is to maximize your chances at getting hired, I would look towards GoLang / Java / Python etc, which are far less enjoyable to work in but far easier to find jobs for.
Best of luck!

If you haven't given Turbo and Stimulus a shot, I would recommend it. Way faster to write than React, and super fast and performant. I would say its definitely the way to go with Rails pages that aren't extremely simple.
Could you share the kinds of situations in which you've seen Stimulus and Turbo really shine?
My team inherited a Rails app, which used Turbo and Stimulus and we really struggled to create UIs that matched our design team's vision. We eventually had to move to react + MUI just so that we could build a webapp with a modern look and feel.
None of us come from a rails background, so I'm sure that a big part of our problem came from us trying to bend Rails to our will rather than embracing it - if you have any advice on articles / books that embody the rails approach, I'd be really grateful if you could share them.
