Not at all: you can be painfully aware that 90% or even 99% of your peers are not that good and yet you are still light years away from being in the top 0.0001%. It's the same type of awareness.

Compare it with income only for the sake of having a numerical benchmark. With a salary of 32k$/year you are in the world top 1% yet you might feel you should be earning 100x that.

>In the earlier phases of Gold as a store of value I'd agree that it having additional uses were a bonus but now when an institution be it private or governmental purchases millions of gold as assets for a SoV then this usage is inconsequential.

Nearly 70% of the demand for gold is for jewelry, electronics, and other non-financial/SoV applications. The market value of gold is dominated by its practical and aesthetic uses.

I didn't say Bitcoin is just a Merkle tree. My point is that Bitcoin is a system that combines different pre-existing components - like Merkle trees and Proof-of-Work - in a novel way, but people then split that system, and call those components "blockchain". Some user here in HN actually wrote "Git is a blockchain".

But the best example is that nonsense of "permissioned blockchains".

The part I have the major problem with is the average length. Peak was 8 hours, I just chuckled and said thanks but no thanks.

2 hours? Sure. No problem. Even 3 hours is fine.
>Donating a fraction of my ill-gotten gains wouldn't make them any less ill-gotten. There would still be real people who'd lost money on the other end.

The gains are not "ill-gotten". Slamming people who buy Bitcoin and implying they are somehow morally wrong and that you are somehow superior is disgusting. But that's another moral argument so I guess I could be hypocritical like you except I'm right.

>I believe it's worthless. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I'll lose out.

"it's worthless" "If" "I will lose out" Sorry to break the news but a Bitcoin is worth 9200 US dollars. You are wrong and you have already lost out.

>People selling things that have actual value don't talk like this. You're sounding like a huckster.

It wouldn't matter what I said, you've obviously made up your mind so no matter what, to you, I'm going to sound like a "huckster" and bitcoin doesn't have value and people who buy it for some reason plucked from your imagination have trouble sleeping at night (I mean what?) on and on. I hope that makes you feel better.

Hello HN,

in a net security environment, what's the best programming language you suggest to learn? I can only script in bash, since on my job I did never need any other language, but lately I feel half useless. I mainly parse logfiles and administer security devices (CISCO, linux servers).
Actually, 70% of the price of gold is tied down to its real world usage. I was surprised too - I actually thought it was only around 10% when I made that comment.

But what I was referring to was that simply having some significant non-psychological value was key for giving people the stability and confidence to invest more value in it. In which case, the difference between 10% non-psychological value and 0% non-psychological value is something on the order of an infinity percent relative difference.

TIC-80 is open source (however there is also "pro version" which isn't). "Regular", open source version supports editing only in built-in editor, no external text files.

Interestingly, I think nearly all people in Ontario on the Tesla waitlist got their option to buy cars in the last few weeks. I believe it is because the likely new provincial leader is going to revoke a huge tax break to electric cars, so Telsa is trying to get all of its Ontario customers to buy in before the rebate is gone.

I know 3 people on the waitlist who just all of a sudden got told they can now buy a car immediately. That is likely not a coincidence.
Ask HN: Is there a tool to document system landscapes as zoomable maps?
I would like to document system landscapes in a way that resembles google maps. When you fire it up you would see a broad overview of the landscape with few details. Zooming in would make additional information appear so that detail level is increased. Is there a tool that would allow me to do something like that?
ImpactJS is a complete, well-written, modular game development engine. I've personally used it to make a half a dozen games or so. The Ejecta project (already open source) makes it easy to Port these games and apps to iOS and the App Store.

If you're optimising for "emotional stress", London still wins over China, for someone who speaks English and not Mandarin, and is comfortable in Western culture.

The government has made pretty strongly phrased guarantees for EU nationals arriving before 29 March 2019. Sure, it's not the best time to plan to put down roots permanently, but nobody who just wants to work for a few years should be discouraged by Brexit at this point.
This goes back to hidden complexity. The answer is no. You should not "do something," you should do "the right thing." And figuring out what the right thing is, and staffing it through everyone that has some equity in the problem space, and taking their feedback to iterate over the solution, is immensely time-consuming -- maybe more time-consuming than just dealing with the less optimal system that more or less works.

Be an insult. I was in the same position about 10 years ago. I had been at the same company for nine years.

I found that my skill set wasn't what the market wanted. Sure I had been successful in my projects doing basically the same thing for nine years but I had become an expert beginner (https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-th...)

I learned my lesson. I took a job after working for 12 years as what for all intents and purposes was a junior developer (making a little bit more because wage stagnation is real). I've had 5 jobs since then and kept learning.
Agree with the sentiment but, purely from personal experience, I really don't like submitting my details for every retailer I might buy stuff from. Not so much from a security pov but all the hoops I have to jump through like creating a username and password that's actually accepted first time, and so on.

I've gotten to the stage now where I won't buy from another retailer where I have to create another account, if at all possible.

As consequence my online purchase history (aside from grocery shopping) for the past 3 years is almost exclusively amazon.

If I were a retailer I would be looking to make the buying process as slick and seamless as possible and, alas, amazon can provide me with a solution.

Because a store of value is better without random price fluctuations. If I am saving up for a Europe trip I want to add some value to a pot every month not gamble so i might make the trip in 2 or 20 years based on luck.

This is even more critical with companies, a farmer that sells his crop needs to insure he can buy fuel in 11 months for next harvest. Having a little more is nice, but having a little less is really bad. That risk profile is fairly common where a modest upside is not worth risking even a small dip.
Ask HN: Do crickets communicate in binary code?
The sound of crickets reminds me of my old (90's) 56.6k modem.

Could it be that crickets communicate with each other in a form of binary communication (i.e. morse code)? Are there any studies on this? Has any effort to decode this been made?

Sure, they're just simple insects, but if the hypothesis is that the dumber a microservice is, the more elaborate its communications with the "mothership API" need to be; then we could assume that crickets need to communicate elaborately with each other for their basic needs.

As far as the degree, I'm sure you've realized by now that drive can compensate for just about anything. Also, everyone has to prove to themselves that they are good enough. Once that happens, results are limitless.
I'm blown away by the effectiveness of the whole product. While being approachable for beginners, it seems to allow experts to tweak at will. It's a massive "tour de force".

As a Chinese it is a bit of surreal to see this event discussed here, because the story has already been too old (pun intended) on Chinese network.

Now if you search for 中兴, the Chinese name of ZTE, all you find will be discussions about how China will fare in the upcoming trade war, and how China could have its own semiconductor industry.

I've never had imposter syndrome. I've always been honest about my qualifications at interviews and I've always purposefully taken jobs where I barely meet the qualifications. It's a great way to learn. This also meant the first few months I spent plenty of extra time learning the technology that I didn't know. If the company hired me despite knowing that I didn't know all of the required technology, they must be willing to give me ramp up time.

I have a degree but honestly can't say I've ever really used anything from algorithms or compilers courses on the job. Nobody (meaning, very few people doing mainstream startup/SaaS development) writes fundamental algorithms, you use libraries and classes from the language you're working in. Most people don't work in compiled languages anymore, and if they do, they don't write their own compilers.

Maybe understanding the concepts from these courses helps. But despite having a degree I often feel that I am (to quote TFA) not really “clever enough” or “good enough” or “well-rounded enough” or “deep enough” in their discipline. Almost everything I do day-to-day I did not learn in school, I learned by flailing around for a while, reading documentation, and gradually working things out.

Yet I don't feel anxiety over it, because I get my work done, and can see that I accomplish more (in some case a lot more) than many of my peers. Yes, there are also some others who are clearly better than me, but that's life.

With major infrastructure like Python there's a tendency to over-emphasise compatibility between releases.

Look at this post in the same list thread:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-May/153300...

Python 3.6 is trying an enormous number of potential paths that code for imports might be found at. Why is that fixed in stone? Couldn't Python 3.(n+1) change that, if it's slow and historical, cutting out a bunch of slow system calls?

As someone who makes use of Python to deploy software, it's entirely possible that could cause me a few issues... which I'd fix quite easily. It should be totally reasonable to expect the community using the software to cope with those sorts of changes after a major release; the alternative is ossification.

Django suffered from maintaining too much compatibility, and releasing too slowly, and they fixed it. Three or four years ago everyone was talking about moving away from it; now they release often, deprecate stuff when they need to, and the project is as vibrant as it ever was. Time for cPython to learn the same lesson.

The number of programmers who leave the ranks after age 30 is staggering.

Well, 30% of the market value of gold is from financial/SoV-type use cases! That's not insignificant. Because of the psychological consensus that gold is a decent place to store value - it's been one for several thousand years, you can reasonably assume that someone's still going to take it a few decades from now - that portion of its value fluctuates substantially depending on how interested people are in a literally solid and relatively-stable physical asset. So when people are uncertain about other investment prospects, they go to gold, because it's basically one step up from stuffing cash under your mattress insofar as gold is less subject to inflation.

Crypto is ... currently, at least, not where you go if you want something with a reliable, stable value.

And yeah, I think aesthetic value counts! It's also very much a psychological thing, and it's undeniably tied into a similar "I think this is valuable because other people will see it and think it looks valuable" loop; if gold were much cheaper, we wouldn't see as much gold jewelry. But it's also genuinely one of the better metals to make jewelry out of (doesn't corrode, ductile, nobody's allergic to it) and it's quite a pretty color. It's more fickle than industrial use, sure, but it's also much less fickle than investor speculation.

An interview with Joey Hess (2016)
Fist, I don't want to work with a group of people who have only been selected by their ability to solve stupid, meaningless puzzles. That's something you do in college, which I hated.

Second, once you get past a minimum level of intelligence a lot of success in software development is based on motivation. It's hard to be motivated by a made-up problem where all your hard work is going to be thrown away and not used by anyone for anything, and my first step in solving it is to involuntarily roll my eyes and groan. That starts the project off on a bad foot to begin with.
