I built this tool to help understand and quickly find coins on the Binance platform specifically for use with day trading.

The problem is there's 100+ coins and i'm not going to constantly scan through each one. So the app has categories like 'big movers with volume' and other filters to help you see what's going on RIGHT NOW.

You would obviously use this information to identify potential buy in opportunities.

Looking for thoughts and recommendations.

That's at your option, though. It's perfectly valid yaml to indent the list as many spaces as you want.

Sorry if too off-topic, but I figured this was a good place to share my experience with trying to use the Rust `crypto` library, which I recounted in this comment [1]. It's not a security concern, but it does affect usability.

I had the simple task[2] of encrypting bytes with AES using the library. But (as detailed in the post), they didn't expose a simple, "give us plaintext bytes, give us key bytes, give us options, we'll spit back the ciphertext bytes". Instead, you have to delve into the irrelevant details of constructing mutable buffers (which require special care in Rust), so it can read from and write to them, and without even any good examples in the docs for how to construct those buffers.

It seems designed from the perspective of "I have extremely limited memory" -- which is fine, but why not have a simple wrapper on top of that for the common, non-embedded use case, and some example code?

[2] for the Matasano/cryptopals challenge. Interestingly, I found that the hardest parts weren't figuring out the vulnerabilities, but in implementing a spec (every writeup was poor) or getting "off-the-shelf" software to behave as expected so I can have a utility function for it and forget about it from then on!
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else, so another alternative (that I've seen and really like conceptually, but haven't used so far) to all this wildness with YAML and JSON -> https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-lang, and for kubernetes specifically -> https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-kubernetes
Helm charts are great, and accomplishes the task, but things get really weird and complex if you're not careful. Oh man, the indentation and _helper.tpl nightmares. It's not obvious at all. And there's still a lot of repetition for each chart; writing a deployment or whatever is so verbose in K8s.

On the other hand, Ansible uses yaml and there it works great. I feel like Ansible uses yaml in a way that's easier to understand and the way it was meant to be written. With Ansible, you're writing configuration, not templates of configuration. I don't think a layer on top of Ansible like Helm is for K8s wouldn't make sense.

Hey there, I am a product manager at DocuSign. Sorry about your experience. I would love to dig into this - can you drop me a note at bilal dot aslam at docusign.com? Thank you!
There's issues with doing this with a laser.

The vector display used on Asteroids actually steered the beam to form each individual line, and could do it fast enough to draw all the objects on the screen at a decent refresh rate. Steering the electron beam is fast because that is all electronic.

If you wanted to do a laser vector display, that's difficult because you'd be physically moving something (the laser or the mirror). Doing that fast is super difficult.

You could create a laser raster display (as in the linked blog post), but that won't look or work the same as a vector display.
Who knows.

It makes me throw up a little in my mouth every time I see hundreds of lines of YAML to configure something like Traefik with Kubernetes. The worst is when people say they prefer that because "I don't have to write a config file for my backend". That's true but instead now you have extremely verbose configuration mixed in with other verbose configuration.

But in YAML's defense I think it's more of a problem with the tools that use it more so than YAML itself. Ansible is a great example of how amazing YAML can be to manage complex configuration in a concise way.
I never quite understood this attitude. Not treating whitespace as meaningful means it's necessary to have a longer, syntactically noisier file.

That's fine if you're primarily concerned with computers exchanging data (JSON) but where readability and writability matters, extra syntactic weight is a headache.

I can't imagine writing JSON by hand but I write plenty of YAML by hand every day without issues.
might yours be an intentional misreading? buffett surely knows that capitalism's purpose is to allocate capital efficiently in an economy, not generate outsized returns to investors, which is a form of inefficiency:

No. The argument was, specifically, that these people are not taking a hit in pay by working for an NGO, and that they are therefore not acting altruistic.

The comparison with similar positions is the only one valid, because those are the better paying job they did not take even though they were qualified.

I would really love to have lived in this imagined world where everything was simple, and you could easily learn to do everything and do everything in HTML and CSS.

It’s like browser wars never happened. Or float hacks. Or the search for the holy grail. Or DirectX filters. Or box models. Or... Or... Or...

The web never was a place of unicorns chasing butterflies and shitting rainbows. If anything, it’s a much better entry point now just due to the sheer power of tools we have at our disposal.

I’d have killed for dev tools in early 2000 when I was struggling why a particular copy-pasted peace of HTML + CSS wasn’t rendering the same way it was rendering on some website I got it from.

What keeps me going? There is just so much interesting stuff going on with computers - how can you ever get bored :)

There are a lot of people better than me, also younger than me, but I can still knock out solid code. I think not thinking I have mastered something keeps me going. There is massive churn in languages and technologies, all my COBOL / FCS / IBM Mainframes skills are consigned to the dumpster but they help me learn new things like C / CP/M / MSDOS / Assembler. Which got dumped for Unix (not Linux) / Macintosh (pre OSX) / Prolog / Lisp / C++

I'd like to see the paradox of these platform providers claiming ownership over user-submitted content while simultaneously denying responsibility for said content challenged in court.

If I scrape and republish Reddit content, they'll surely send me a cease-and-desist claiming I'm stealing "their" content. But suppose some of "their" content is legally obscene-- they've made it clear I'm not allowed to republish it because it's "theirs."
The "to even start" is the key phrase there.

Sure, you have to learn programming to build a modern web app. But starting with HTML and CSS can be a good entry point.

I heard it's better now but when I was trying to do grpc I couldn't get this to build:

https://github.com/improbable-eng/grpc-web/tree/master/go/gr...

Basically there was dependency that changed, and it caused it to not build. The maintainer was just pointing fingers at google. I had no idea what to do, but it just scared the crap out of me.
As far as runtime, applications and DBs are already decoupled. You have N application instances mapped to M database instances. Applications can usually scale pretty much with load. Databases vary wildly in how they scale and it depends on the DB type.
Do you mean better, faster, _and_ cheaper in a single device? Honestly curious, what do you recommend over Raspberry Pi?
This is putting the cart before the horse. Competition is what drives down prices. When companies aren't allowed to zero rate content then they're all offering more or less the same product so they have to compete with each other on price.

Also keep in mind that zero rating is itself an explicit admission that network capacity and overhead aren't factors in the price. The whole deal is that the wireless company lets customers on those plans use unlimited data at no extra charge as long as it's for zero rated content. Allowing customers at that same price point to use that same unlimited data without arbitrary restrictions would ultimately be just as profitable.

Absolutely anecdata: all of the NGO workers I've met were "spoiled rich youngsters" wanting to get meaning in their lives. Then most NGOs seem do more harm than good IMO, particularly the bigger the badder (local support associations and organisations are almost always fine OTOH).
> deflation is terrible for the poor, unemployment goes up and job creation goes down

Yes, this is the standard assertion that is continually repeated to justify the state policy of overwhelming monetary inflation.

But it presupposes that what makes people poor is simply a lack of employment, rather than being unable to keep up with their essential expenses. Of course if you personally benefit from there being more minimum wage workers, this makes perfect sense to you - if 40 hours a week at minimum wage is not enough for someone to pay their bills, they can simply find another job and work 80!

But if you instead consider someone who does have a constant job that we accept as "full time", then having the real purchasing power of their salary generally trending down is certainly doing them no favors. That is the wage theft of inflation.
That's more or less where I am though consistently libertarian ethical veganism makes sense too.

"I don't eat meat or abort fetuses, but I don't want laws or norms saying we can't either." There's no serious ban in meat being discussed.
I know I'm in a minority, but I really dislike YAML... I recently did a lot of Ansible and boy, at the beginning, I was just struggling a lot. Syntactic whitespace kills me.

I don't like it in Python either, but for some reason, when I write Python, it's a lot easier. Maybe YAML is just a bit more complex (and Python has better IDE support..?)
> “Your app uses analytics software to collect and send user or device data to a third party without the user’s consent. Apps must request explicit user consent and provide a clear visual indication when recording, logging, or otherwise making a record of user activity,”

Every big app collects analytics without such disclosure (and definitely no visual indicator). I honestly can't think of a counterexample.

If Apple's declaration is taken literally, this will have massive fallout on the analytics ecosystem.
That's kind of my point. Indentation is optional, so many don't indent, making the resulting document harder to understand.
It has the ecosystem. Not just the technical side, but it has mindshare in education. There will be more people who know what a Raspberry Pi is than an SBC.

That's fantastic! I was never able to hold over long periods myself, but that's an excellent success story you shared.

At times like now(bullish), do you continue to grow your position or wait for dips? I think there is great long term profit to be had in people allowing fortunes to grow in long term index funds, I just wish I was one of the people who could take advantage of it. My niche revolves around VIX futures contracts and their effects on equity index futures - so very short term(intraday).

> It isn’t just about raw intelligence

That's the problem though - blank slate theory. If we had a more biological attitude towards this, we'd be able to help individual more effectively. Do IQ tests yearly, find smart kids and get them into better programs. On the flipside, accept that some schools have naturally less intelligent kids, and that their performance will, as a result, be lower.

Blank slate and no child left behind and similar ideas create this false belief that bad results are the teachers fault. If you teach kids that all have below average IQs, and they achieve average results, you are an awesome teacher. If you teach geniuses and the get average results, you are awful.

> buffett surely knows that capitalism's purpose is to allocate capital efficiently in an economy

No, it's not. That's an retrospective rationalization invented centuries after capitalism came into existence, and even after it was named by its critics.

The purpose of capitalism which motivated them pushing the changes which formed it was to secure power previously held by the feudal aristocracy in the hands of the mercantile—what would become “capitalist"—class.
Nope, indentation is not a problem with indentation guides. A misplaced comma in a JSON file however kills it, gets me every time I have to write it by hand.

Also, it is true YAML has too many features, though I find they are typically ignored or disabled.
Because LSP is a widely used protocol for language tooling that's not coupled to any particular editor.

I'm surprised xi didn't just add an LSP client to leverage the existing ecosystem. The benefits of in-house language server implementations seem marginal at best.

This was always the case. Because you could never build any reliable foundation on HTML+CSS alone.

But, you know, reasons.
I don't think that goes against the premise of the article though, having two teenagers (or any child over... 7ish?) negates a lot of the risk of having a sudden heart attack and being unable to get yourself timely care or finding yourself socially isolated. Your relationship with your teenagers isn't going to fill the same space as an S.O. or even a close friend, but having social interaction is important for other reasons, and your interactions with them will fulfill that need.

Not every big app. Every app.

It can often be difficult to determine root cause of an issue when you are just given a stack trace. I suspect we will soon see two patterns arise: (1) Popups when the app launches to get consent and (2) Screen recording that still happens but only phones home if an exception occurs and where they get consent at that point.

And what does this mean for core metrics like Google Analytics ?

> Not something where each computer is a special snowflake with a developer fragmented experience about which libraries are even available on the system

AIUI, these days you can just develop for Flatpack (if you're making a proprietary application) and declare your dependencies as needed. But do note that Flatpack is not a kitchen-sink "framework" or "platform": it's just something that addresses a number of fairly well-understood issues with the prevailing, mostly FLOSS-oriented, development model. (One reason that the issues are well-understood by now is that other "solutions" have been tried before, such as the LSB effort-- and found wanting.) This is key to decreasing complexity and making the system as a whole more comprehensible and surveyable. The commercial UNIXes you point to are far closer to your view of "each platform being a special snowflake", and big frameworks make this issue worse; they don't ameliorate it.
As others in this thread have said: I ask this question all the time, except s/templating/using/.

YAML is insanely over complicated; it's as bad or worse than XML for config files, and it doesn't even have the nice streaming mode.
Not to mention that it's a bit of a security nightmare (seriously, who put pointers into the YAML spec?).

And, on a more subjective note, YAML is just confusing: between all the significant whitespace and the random single character symbols that no one ever remembers what they do, I never get a YAML document right on the first try.

Templating it really does add a whole new level of headache too.
Thanks. I'll take a look :)

An anecdatum from the flu thread on Reddit:

"3 years ago, my sister found me unresponsive covered in my own vomit and shit in my bed. Called 911 and my life was saved. All I had was the flu, but it had caused brain swelling. The last thing I remember was going to sleep the night before, feeling perfectly fine.

The ONLY reason I'm alive is because I was supposed to dog-sit for my sister's best friend starting that day. When she couldn't get a hold of me, she notified my sister, who came to my house to check on me."
> You don't get to determine what other people want, even if they are stupid.

Sure, but in this case it's very easy to state with 100% confidence that you said you wanted something which you don't actually want. That's stupid, but it's a different kind of stupidity than wanting something you won't like. Compare how I described your problem:
