I've been in the crypto space since 2011 and I've seen these bubbles come and go. When people like yourself come into the game though (and this is not an insult) I'm pretty sure the speculative game is just about to end. I don't know when - could bitcoin go to $4, $5, $6, $7k+ sure could happen in even a matter of days, but we're close to the end here IMO.

You can do small scale mining with GPUs and maintain a profit right now - zcash for example is profitable (but very small) so if that is interesting you could experiment there. 1 GPU maybe $400 or something minimal damage if the bubble pops, maybe worst case resell the card for $100 or something - that's a reasonable plan maybe I'd recommend. There are of course other more risky options.

As others have mentioned - please understand that ICOs are EXTREMELY risky and speculative. Even bitcoin and ethereum which many say are the safest - and I agree - the level of speculation in them is extreme and if you told me that ethereum will drop in value by 80% in the next 2 months, I would not bat an eye.

The level of speculation is extreme - you should realize it because even now you yourself are interested in investing - tons of people like you are doing the same irrespective of any actual intrinsic value. It is the hallmark of a bubble - and we're in the middle of it, but we can't describe with certainty until it is over.

Just don't mortgage the house man, and stay safe.
As a person that can get the product from scratch to production and scale it, I can say I'm a full-stack developer. Can I feel mythical now?
I've been developing for 10 years. I have never had a team, so I have had to build each stack from scratch, myself, including the research and decision making of each tool to use in the stack.

I've put together about 4 generations of systems in this time, each with entirely fresh stacks. The first was pre-build-tools, so I had to write my own module loaders and bundlers from scratch.

The latest web stack uses containerized deployment in a micro service architecture, sql, nosql, rest, graphql, a jwt-based authentication gateway and a modern front end stack.

Do I qualify as a full stack dev?
The fee is not on the transfer, but on the conversion.

ACH deposit to USD wallet is free. Converting that USD to BTC or ETH is where the fee comes in. (Why one would want to deposit USD at Coinbase and leave it there, though, is another question...)
To be fair, the DEC Alpha team was highly respected in the CPU architecture industry.

I actually think staying away was the smartest thing you've done!

I can't think of a worse reason to invest in an asset and market one doesn't understand than fear of missing out.
(Standard caveat: I'm a Coin know-nothing)

Once SomethingCoin becomes fungible with Something2Coin and Something14Coin, you could have the makings of an economic system.

Edit1: Say you sold disk space for FileCoin, converted it and bought petfood using DogeCoin (I know Doge is for charity but hear me out), you wouldn't ever have to move money between IRL currency and Coins.
the analogy with doctors although valid on principle doesn't take into account that you can rewrite buggy code due to inexperience, but you can't undo a brain surgery gone bad.

That's not what a fallacy is.
>If we really need to go over why jQuery is a shitty library, well, see the link you responded to in the first place.

I already pointed out that article's shortcomings. You responded with calling jQuery "shitty" and a personal attack.

>You're probably using React or Angular

Oh sure, I didn't suggest using jQuery with Angular. Please reference the title of the post for the context of my argument.

>Yes, "people like you"

So, a personal attack. I'm glad we now agree.
> So would you say that Damore is creating a victim identity for himself, or that he is an actual victim?

Based on interviews I have seen with him, he feels as a victim, but isn't creating any "victim identity", because he (somewhat) rejects the notion that he is a part of some group.

At least that's how I think one can answer your (somewhat loaded, frankly) question about somebody without opening their brain. Creating "victim identity" requires that there is a social group that one associates with, because the whole point of doing so is to find allies.
> Depending on the scale of technologies in question, one could even argue that true mastery of both frontend and backend is impossible.

lol saying that is equivalent to say that mastering frontend OR backend is also impossible.

The reason of that is the term mastery. Mastery, probably doesn't exist, or at least doesn't mean anything.

Useless article
Agreed. What the absolute hell? This entirely contradicts how I understand programming languages work. Whitespace, tokens, formatting, should be irrelevant once it's all in an AST.
Maybe he meant, for example, that a 1st year cardiologist is probably going to be a better cardiologist than a 20 year nephrologist. The OP seems to be insinuating in his medical analogy that only time - not specialty - is the most important metric. Take that 20 year nephrologist: if he had spent 10 of those years in cardiology, I don't think most other nephrologists would say that makes him a better doctor just because his experience was more balanced across two fields. In fact, I think they'd say he was a lesser doctor than one who devoted the 20 years to one subspecialty.
As with everything else, time and money. Most schools don't have the funds to replace their fleet of buses because of (the next big thing) and will have to do it as the old ones die off. Add to that the higher cost of electric vehicles and it doesn't look as immediately appealing.

I can and have contributed to and/or written bootloaders and kernel drivers and web servers as well as all the other stuff people generally consider part of the the full stack. Does this make me even more "full-stack"?

Nah, it just means that, like every other experienced developer, I've got a "paint drip"[1] distribution of skills. My drip is just a little wider than other full stack developers, but the # and depth of those drips is probably comparable.

And that's what full stack means: you have exposure to the entire range of skills necessary to do front and back end, and are expert in more than one of those skills. But you aren't an expert in all of them, because nobody is.

Everybody deserves credit. Your manager could have told you to work on a different problem. Are you really a better engineer than me - working for a different company in a different problem space where that algorithm isn't needed? Is it something special about you that nobody else could develop it, or is it just the circumstances put you in a place where you couldn't help but develop it? So you developed a new algorithm, are you sure that if I had tried I wouldn't have developed a better one?
> the correct destination of an HTTP TLS packet is hidden (encrypted) inside the application data (“Host: google.com”).

Incorrect, you might want to read about TLS SNI (Thought exercise; the server has to pass your packets to the correct vhost before decryption).

You might want to Google dTLS (TLS over UDP) and then read some of the dialogue about why it's impractical on the public internet.

Consider further that by moving your presentation layer logic into the network layer, every time you want to introduce a new cipher you'll need to upgrade every network device on the internet. Think how bad the export-grade crypto problem has been, then multiply by the momentum of Tier-1 ISP install base. Instead of making the network less important, you're handcuffing yourself to Verizon.

I'm not sure you're late. There is still at least one, maybe two orders of magnitude growth possible/likely for BTC/Cryptos in my opinion. It is really easy to make mistakes if you're trading. Buy and hold probably still works, but this whole area is high risk. The most likely scenario, for most, is to buy, at the top of a hype cycle, then get depressed and sell when it falls 60%, only to see it eventually triple again in 3 years. Don't put in more than you can afford to lose. Cryptos are a rollercoaster, and they eat shaky-hands alive.

Personally, I only hold stores of value or smart contract platforms. My reasoning is that successful platform(s) needs to be of a certain size as part of that success and their market cap would need to encompass value. That dictates growth ahead.

For tokens like filecoin, it is far less clear to me how to extrapolate their eventual end-state size, and therefore whether they will be worth anything in a few years. Instead of comparing coin market caps, a better comparison might be per-unit AWS storage costs vs. their storage rates * some risk-adjusted probability of network success. I feel like that's not the comparison people are looking at.

You're right about mining--in almost all cases, unless you have free power, or are an ASIC manufacturer, it is a losing game. If you're a believer, the better play is to buy the coin.

No Javascript is great. Bootstrap requires jquery, some making some events really hard to manage with react or angular. And react/angular bootstrap libraries are restrictive that it makes it hard to extend features of bootstrap.

All these issues go away with bulma.

No tool to customise theme is great. I don't want a bootstrap looking theme. It gets in the way... bootstrap is structure and styling throwing in the kitchen sink and half the house but not adding any doors or windows and you can't hide a builder to add more without it costing a kidney.

A year? the ROI for that would be like 5 years - you over-estimate the profits currently. It was profitable back in March far more than it is now - the gold rush with mining is over.
storing files is a lot cheaper (energy-wise) than having a GPU continually crunch hashes, too.
That doesn't work either: you get situations like the TSA artificially backing up airport security lines to "necessitate" budget increases.

They should incentivize efficiency. In government, it would be citizen impact per employee. If you have more, you make more money, if you have less, you make less.
"There is no such thing as a full stack developer for our specific definition of full stack developer that happens to also support our claim"

The Myth of the Sophisticated User [2011]
> “Only an individual who has had exposure to and experience in each of the elements of a stack can truly call themselves a full stack developer.”

This term has always struck me as pretty nebulous. Where does it end? Do I have to have written an ISR, or a bootloader? Probably not, but the term "full stack developer" is unqualified, so how can I tell? No doubt this term is very context-sensitive. "Please guess what this means from what software you can tell our business is probably based on."

You don't need anyone else's signoff to consider yourself for any role. By default, you're the most powerful person in your life, but when you allow other people to tell you what you are, you wind up giving away some of your power. This is particularly true in interviews, where another person who doesn't know you is judging you based on a sliver of who you really are. Your job is to define what you want, then show the sliver that aligns with what the world expects from you.

The alternative would be licensing as a taxi company everywhere, which would invite the same political battles with entrenched operators (only with less leverage, since you'd be fighting the battles before you had the user base). So conflict is inevitable with this business model.

> On the other hand, if you’re working in an agency/consultancy where it’s important for security/reliability/maintainability reasons to keep up to date with various areas of front end tooling, database types, AI, serverless, etc, then the answer veers closer to ‘never’.

Well I mean, the fact that they mention AI in the same breath and as though it entails the same scope as frontend tooling seems a bit absurd. People with PhDs in 'AI' spend much of their professional lives keeping up-to-date with a very narrow subfield: "keyword-spotting for automatic speech recognition".

The idea that a 'full stack' developer somehow even encompasses that certainly takes it to the realm of complete fantasy.

But "competent to be usefully productive across the development spectrum", is surely possible.

>No Javascript is great

Then don't use the JS parts of BS?

>No tool to customise theme is great. I don't want a bootstrap looking theme.

These sentences are contradictory. The tool allows you to make a theme that doesn't look like everyone else's. Bulma does not have this option. You will end up with a "Bulma-looking" theme.

>It gets in the way

Unlike Bulma's visual styling? If you don't want a default-looking theme, wouldn't you need to customize it then? Doesn't lacking any tools to do so make this harder? I don't understand this argument.
Just get funds you can comfortably afford into Ethereum and Bitcoin, rather than sitting on the sidelines effectively trying to time the market. You might not get 1000x returns but you will kick yourself if Eth goes to even just 1k, which it very well could in the short term (it could also retrace to $90, who knows)

The Alpha AXP: Conditional operations and control flow
You can short these coins in a lot of locations, depending on which ones you want to short. If you want to short larger ones, you should check out bitmex (https://bitmex.com), a derivatives platform, or bitfinex (https://bitfinex.com), a very large exchange. If you are expecting platforms as regulated as stock brokers in the US, you are out of luck. There's many other exchanges that will allow you to work with more (lesser value/known) assets.

Keep in mind just about everyone who has tried to short these things has lost everything. I've watched coins that I think are completely worthless and have zero real users go from 100 million market cap to 200 million, to 500 million, to over a billion. And they still sit there today. And every step of the way, 'rational actors' are trying to short it, waiting for it to finally correct.

I was intrigued by the "Foreign Earned Income Exclusion".

From that link https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/fore...:

2. Is your tax home* in a foreign country?
...
b. No. You CANNOT claim the foreign earned income exclusion, the foreign housing exclusion, or the foreign housing deduction.

* Tax home: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/fore...

"Your tax home is the general area of your main place of business, employment, or post of duty, regardless of where you maintain your family home. ... You are not considered to have a tax home in a foreign country for any period in which your abode is in the United States."

The separate "physical presence outside the US for 330 days/year" is a later criterion, and is not relevant if your "tax home" is in the US.

I tend to agree, but not with your particular example; the boundry between how you manage a resource and what you do with it seems like the perfect place to put an abstraction. The file mingling can be in one big function, but there are benefits to separating it from the open/close logic.
I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but my mother has been a school bus driver for the past 20 years. I'm not so sure I would consider the runs short. She drives at least 8 hours a day, with a break in the middle. There isn't much extra space in her bus for batteries.

In addition, the lifetime of a bus isn't measured in the same way cars are. They are purchased once a decade, never retrofitted, and not every bus is replaced with that purchase. With that in mind it will probably be another 2 sales cycles before we see any.
