One thing to note is that they were using boltdb, which is an in process K/V store designed for high read loads, and doing a lot of writes to it. boltdb also tends to use a lot of memory, as it's using a mmap'd file. The switch also moved them to sqlite, which I would say is a much better fit for what they are doing, but means a lot of this is an apples and oranges comparison.

The corrollary to that would be that if you have a terrible general leading an army that takes them to the wrong battlefield, issues the wrong equipment and puts the artillery on a position where it's poorly defended and the whole battle is a massacre, really when it comes down to it, it was the soldiers that lost it because they didn't fight hard enough.

Finally, someone that speaks directly and honestly about it. I 100% agree with you, there's a problem. Unfortunately, this problem means that a lot of naive investors will jump on the crypto bandwagon only to get hurt.
In webstorm/intellij say you have a react component, one export per module as you say. The import statements are a tie imo to write by hand:

import MyThing from "../../components/editors/MyThing";
import {MyThing} from "../../components/editors/MyThing";

But if it's named, you don't need to stop what you're doing, scroll to the top of the file, type out the import statement by hand, and look over at your code tree and figure out the path to the module you want.

You just type MyT Ctrl-Space and let intellij do all that for you, not even having to move out of the function you're writing.
Sometimes even a well-formatted, respectful issue feels like a thank you.
For what it's worth, I don't think that line needs to be unsafe. I think you can just do this:

let c = s.as_bytes()[i];

In unoptimized/debug mode that's going to do array bounds checks that the unsafe code doesn't, but I think the compiler is smart enough here to see that you're doing the exact same checks in the loop condition too, and it can optimize them out in release mode?

Counteroffers are widely regarded as a terrible thing to offer -- it sets a precedent that anyone, at any time, can attempt to hold your company hostage for more money. Most organizations with much industry experience will pass on any sort of counteroffer.

And it's likely that she _absolutely did_ waste people's time -- the company may have passed on other candidates to hire her and had to start over.
Fair, it depends on the use case(s). Because of the ubiquity of Microsoft, most of the applications i require are Windows based.

Look past the ICOs and drug sales -- you only notice these because they are salacious and thus reported on. What you aren't noticing are the people who are eliminating financial intermediaries in pretty much every industry that matters, from international shipping to remittances to supply-chain management.

Let me give you one example that might make you reconsider what is coming. In the future, you won't go to the bank to get a mortgage. One reason for this is because banks won't have the capital to lend you anymore because people won't deposit their money there: why accept a 0.5% interest rate on savings when you could be holding a mildly-deflationary token or staking a proof-of-stake security scheme? Or investing in solar power farms....

So what will people do when they want to buy a house? Instead of going to a bank, they will talk to the real estate company that showcases the property, and that company will take a 20% downpayment and then issue a token to collect funds for the rest. You will pay off your mortgage directly to the broker in cash or crypto (and all payments are recorded on the blockchain, along with the purchase contract -- a transparent template so you will know your rights in full) and the funds will be automatically transferred to token holders, who are splitting the savings with you: they get higher interest payments and you get a cheaper mortgage. Win-win. And if people need cash they can sell those tokens on any number of 24/7 decentralized peer-to-peer token exchanges, because who won't buy a token like that at a slightly discount?

The real estate agency will probably also be plugged into a decentralized AirBNB operation and have various other ways to monetize real estate. So if you ever fail to make a payment, they will take responsibility for monetizing the property such that token holders are paid-off in full. Systemic risk is thus split between the real estate company (that issues the tokens and guarantees the ROI) and the token purchasers (who take on the risk of the property company getting liquidated before they redeem the tokens in the event of a foreclosure -- not a big risk since their financials are mostly visible directly on the blockchain and your token is legally backed by the property in any case).

Where are the banks in this? Good question. We don't need them anymore. And this is just one small part of the financial system.

That's how it works in Desktop Linux. The system is such a hodgepodge of interconnected pieces, each with their own slight variations in operation, configuration, and quirks, that once you finally put something together that works to your tastes you pretty much have to create your own distribution to keep it that way.

ICO sales took of this summer, early stage startups usually, so would be naive to think that most of them should be profitable already.

But here are a two.

Startup that issues you a Mastercard that is backed by your BTC, ETC. So you can shop at any store that accepts CCs, but never hold actual Fiat currencies.
You recieve tokens as a form of cashback for your CC revenue. And all tokenholder get a share of all the revenue that happens on all the TenX issued CCs.

I assure you that I know how static analysis work but how could you rename something that doesn't have any name? How could you perform "rename" refactoring on `export default function () {...}` since this expression is not associated with any symbol.

It's clear for me that in this case you could talk only on refactoring like "rename all default imports to:" This is different than simply renaming a symbol and I don't know IDE that supports this operation.
Maybe they have to touch those things in order to make their workflow optimal, or even work in the first place.

One of my big issues with the Linux Desktop community is this attitude that they understand your workflow better than you do. You ask how to do something and you get variations of "don't do that".

Huh. I mean, I'm in a full time stable job and I don't keep that much in savings. Nowhere near in fact. But then again if the company wanted to fire me it would have to give me at least 3 months notice,so I treat that as my "buffer" to find a new job while still getting paid.
I did a quick google and didn't find the article I was thinking of. But it's actually only 10% of transactions, which is the metric the OP's article is about, and 68% of transaction value. But if it's just the normal operation of exchanges I don't think we can really conclude that there's no value changing hands. If you transfer funds from one account on Coinbase to another on Kraken or whatever, there's a temporary address involved, just like the article is describing. And it's the same with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Yes in Oreo every notification belongs to a named "channel" and you can customize by channel. So for example saying yes to new messages and no to promotions.
Couldn't agree more. We're using some blockchain technology to solve specific problems at my company. It's a part of our stack, but we don't mention blockchain unless someone specifically asks.

Blockchain is sensationalized beyond belief. I can't wait for the rose tinted glasses to fall off and we realize it's just a data management technology for specific use cases.

I think the biggest danger to the technology is that the community focuses on "blockchain will change the world" not "how can we make this better".
>A) Bitcoin is congested with transactions and takes hours to process some of them

>B) Bitcoin fees are through the roof

actually that pretty much fizzled out. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#30d

it sometimes even cost 99% of the value you're sending (if you were sending 1000 satoshis 2 weeks ago).

strawman. bitcoin is pesduo-anonymous. anyone who did 5 mins of research would know this.
Oh, 55k GBP is a nice salary by absolute standards, but not for software developers in London.

Yes, you can see people working for so little. But why leave money on the table?

> Sure, if you go into the financial sector or find a startup where they don't know their arse from their elbow about software workers, you can dupe them into giving you more money.

Yes, obviously. Why wouldn't you? If some sectors have more money than sense, that's an opportunity--not a problem.

(I can see that there are reasons to take a lower salary in return for a job you really like; but then you don't get to complain about low pay.)

And, yes, if you look at Glassdoor you can find the numbers you cited. In my experience Glassdoor seems to be systematically lower than the numbers I get from my own experience and asking friends and coworkers.

I agree; if you build a system that completely covers specifying layouts for all widget needs and a DSL that handles wiring views into models, for all operating systems and device formfactors, you will have invented HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with the DOM api and a browser as the default interface.
One nitpick: we never asked for participation trophies. It was the last generation that invented that and foisted it on it.

Neither I nor any one of my peers ever liked "everyone's a winner" day, but when you're kids in school you kinda go along with what the adults say.

The rest, I agree with you. I just think it's important to make it clear that, especially when you're young and inexperienced, you're much more susceptible to other people telling you your job is your life.

Not that it's impossible to get past that, other people feeding us that garbage, but most of us aren't that clued into the world at a young age.

"and one reason for this is because banks won't have the capital to lend you because people won't deposit their money there anymore."

That's not how banks work. Banks are factories not warehouses.

Banks create money out of thin air. The loan comes first and that causes the deposit - which is then trapped within the banking system for that denomination until it is used to discharge a bank or government liability in that denomination.

Show HN: Finding 10-k's and 10-Q's made easy.
http://www.instant10-k.com(click on link here). There I was learning about valuation. Visiting the sec site and searching for individual 10-k's and 10-Q's to build models.10-k is the annual financial filing made to the SEC by all publicly listed companies. 10-Q is the quarterly one. The search was cumbersome. 1. Visiting sec.org 2. Clicking on Company Filings 3. Typing the ticker on Fast Search 4. Visually searching for 10-k's and 10-Q's 5. Opening in another tab. 6. Clicking on it again. 7. Finally clicking on the actual document.

Wrong. Bitcoin is literally digital cash: it is held in your wallet and transacted directly from wallet to wallet. There is no third-party intermediary (like a bank or credit card processor) whose authorization is needed to make a transaction. This is what makes it cash-like.
That's because MSIE uses an operating system component for SSL/TLS, and the version of that component on Windows 2000 has only insecure or weak ciphers, and none of them is accepted by Wikipedia's servers. According to qualys (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewClient.html?name=IE&vers...), even on Windows XP it knows only insecure ciphers (small key size or the broken RC4 cipher) and weak ciphers (3DES has a small block size, which is now considered insecure).
I'm a developer and still a mailman in Canada in the freezing rain and snow because that indexed pension is just too good to give up, plus they let you do awesome things like bank all your overtime so you can take more days off. I had one month off paid this year in addition to my regular 5 weeks off. Before my shift these days I program for a university medical research lab, which isn't highly paid but it's satisfying work where you are always learning something, and they keep writing me letters of recommendation so I keep picking up new research contracts when one ends. Very casual environment, coworker post-doc's are helpful to bleed for information, no performance bonus paperwork to fill out or bosses harassing me with nonsense the lead researchers thankfully take care of that.

Before I was working remotely for various companies and hated it as the unpaid hours kept growing with ridiculous meetings and paperwork. Their management kept sending me these surveys to fill out and very long emails and slack distractions that always required immediate attention so the job became more trouble than it was worth and I quit. My criteria for work these days is "Will they lay me off in X years?" and "How much mandatory overtime is there?" nothing else really matters including the pay being below average.
I'm rather more impressed by the DAG systems than the chain. A tree always seems more sensible that a linked list.

You are correct, and if the article said "Bitcoin is open source money", I would say "yeah, I knew that". But the article uses such a statement as the core component of an article arguing that cryptocurrencies aren't a speculative bubble.

Perhaps part of my frustration is that this is the latest in a long series of articles that beats around the bushes and fails to address any kind of meaty argument. They attack the weakest arguments, and lie or misdirect the stronger ones. Yes, we all know Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon aaren't so great with computers, so why does that make Bitcoin any less of a speculative bubble?
