You seriously get 8 Gbps on anything else than torrents? I get 400 Mbps in Canada and there so many time where I download and I hardly get more than 100 Mbps... Steam and torrents are pretty much the only times I get my full 400 Mbps.
In many ways yes. The high level code it is far easier to review the semantics of the change. With Go I feel like I am too bogged down in all of the unimportant implementation details. (I don't really care how you implemented `map` I don't need to see the 4 lines of that loop)

Of course with minimal static typing it is easy to miss more "typo" style bugs but those tend to be caught fairly easy in tests and are obvious when they fail.
Just a playful joke. He's a US politician who ran for president in 2016 as a third-party (i.e. no chance of victory) candidate.

At one point he was asked about his long term view on global warming, and he said "In billions of years, the sun is going to actually grow and encompass the Earth, right? So global warming is in our future."
That is not true, when you have billions of dollars at stake you need to be a lot more careful with the changes you're going to implement, otherwise, it would jeopardize the whole network.

There are many upgrades that have and are happening, some examples: segwit, schnorr/taproot, lightning network, etc.
Explain how the US isn't a democracy without providing the definition of "direct democracy" and renaming that form of government as democracy to suit your argument.

In theory, I think it's possible for an anarchist republic to exist, where there are no elections or rulers, and also no monarchy or "private" interests owning the state.
What would be an advantage going for swiftui vs. React Native for a startup? I feel like the cross platform nature of React would be more beneficial for starting a new platform or business. Of course swift will operate better for ios but is the tradeoff that great with React Native?

I was exactly the same in my earlier dev days! I'd learn about a pattern, think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and see uses for it everywhere... where it really wasn't suitable at all. I was like a builder with only a hammer - everything looked like a nail!

I ended up making a lot of things a lot more complex than they needed to be, or/and a lot less performant than they could be.

At some point, lot's of people seemed to come to the same realisation - worshipping design patterns is a bad idea. Around this time I first heard about "cargo culting".

I would argue that that's because most social sciences are at some level just applied math. Math however isn't social science. I don't want to be dismissive of social progress in curriculums though; I had many advantages growing up but I more than once found myself in classrooms where I didn't speak the language and math class was always a relief because it was just math. I realize this is a rosy view, but there was something to it.
Kinda curious people in this line of work. If they prep some automated processes that they've found in the past and then just hit up big names to see if any apply. Then it pings them like "vulnerability found at"... Seems neat

I really wish that Gnome would go all-in on the single menu bar approach of OSX. I know it's gone back and forth over the years and broken from time-to-time but it really is a much better way to do things versus the windows menu-per-window approach. IMO obviously, but I've used OSX for a decade and Windows/DOS for 20 years before that and top menus have always just been a better experience.

I think the real value in Bitcoin is its immutability. I don't think there's any piece of information in the world as immutable as the first bitcoin block mined by satoshi.

This property is what powers amazing projects like OpenTimeStamps (https://opentimestamps.org/), this will become an essential tool for notaries all around the world, seriously!, and this has nothing to do with number of transactions, this scales to O(1) (you only need one transaction to prove as many things as there needs to be proved). Previous to bitcoin existence I don't think there was ever a distributed way of proving a piece of information existed previous to X, and even if there was, it was probably centralized or much much MUCH weaker than bitcoin. There's just no replacement, not even a million years as effective as bitcoin is for this, if I'm wrong please tell me! I want to know!

Most people here in favor of bitcoin argue about inflation, I understand the reasoning, and I'm from Venezuela, I pretty sure understand that value, but that's just missing the point, immutability >>> inflation protection.

And if we go to the smart-contracts terrain, that's a whole other world of very diverse and unexplored possibilities of values
It is quite a hassle indeed. As far as I know, you need:

- a Mac (with a recent enough version of Mac OS)

- an iPhone with a recent enough iOS

- a 99$/year (iirc) Apple developer account

These things might be a given for people in SV but it’s quite a big upfront cost for most people outside of HCOL areas.

Unless I’m mistaken and you can do without a Mac? But I seem to recall you need to use iCode (or whatever apple’s IDE is called ;)

It's completely possible to remain anonymous with btc, but a big enough pain in the ass that only people who are committing crimes will do it. Everyone else will at some point link their identity to their wallet and all of their transaction and transaction amounts are then public record.

This happened to me as well. A recruiter told me that I had done very well in the PS, and would move me forward to the virtual onsite. I prepared for a week, including a whole weekend. Then I received a call from the recruiter telling me that the team that wanted me to interview changed their product direction, and would not move forward with me anymore. I was pretty upset, I just said thank you for letting me know since I did not know and do not know what else I could say. It was a totally waste of my time. I was actually pretty busy in that week, I could have done something else over that weekend. I guess this is how life goes.

It's a shitty feaure advocated for by people who are proud of being ignorant. Fiat currency and monetary policy is largely responsible for the economic success of the last century.

America can be a continent. Definitions vary so sometimes it's split into "North America"/"South America", or pluralized "Americas".

TZ database includes "America/Santiago" and "America/Sao_Paulo" so clearly it means the continent and not just the US.
It does, but it is almost certainly less than Bitcoin on a per-transaction basis. If the energy cost of physical money were comparable to the average energy spent per Bitcoin transactions we would already have a cashless society; in fact, if the energy cost was so high, we may never have used cash/coins in the first place.

To put this in perspective, Bitcoin consumes about as much energy as Argentina (a country with tens of millions of residents), about 121 TWh/year, but for all that energy the network only processes 4-7 transactions per second. Visa processes an average of 1700 transactions per second on its own, and is just one of many large payment processors in the mainstream financial system. Visa's 2018 report (first thing I found on Google) stated a consumption of about 720000GJ, which is 0.1TWh. That is a massive difference, so if cash was anything as energy-intensive as Bitcoin the banks would have figured it out by now and ditched it to save a ton of money (keeping in mind that banks account for the bulk of the overhead spent on cash and coins).
As someone who worked with java for more than a decade before touching the js world, the degree to which npm has been hacked together without any of study prior art is extremely irritating. If you must build something from scratch at least invent some new problems instead of just re-discovering solved ones.

The very existence of package-lock grinds my gears and that's before it starts flip flopping because someone mistook URLs for URIs. Of course that only exists because ranged dependencies are a terrible idea, and that's before anybody even mentions things like namespaces or classifiers.

No maven wasn't perfection, and it could be (and has been) improved on - but npm doesn't even get into spitting distance.
> You'd end up arrested and jailed at some point.
- assuming they didn't flee
- assuming they didn't spend the bitcoin
- assuming they didn't transfer the bitcoin, and then claim it was stolen/lost.

With fiat controlled by banks, most liquid assets are frozen during these sorts of disputes for the above reason. A threat of jail in the future also doesn't really help the other person during that timeframe.

Cash does magically appear, actually. It's printed by mints and released via monetary control.
How does one do scraping properly on dynamic client side rendered pages?
Okay, I admit my comment was a bit rushed, and I apologize for that. It's not tongue-in-cheek, and I don't feel that I'm rationalizing things (but then, I guess I wouldn't feel it even if I were).

I was trying to view things in a bigger picture. Ofcourse we are using too much fossil fuels at this time. Ofcourse our functioning is pretty unsustainable.

What I am trying to say, is that sometimes high energy usage is acceptable. Should we stop launching things in orbit? Should we stop the LHC?

I think that for _some_ people, having a thing such as bitcoin is worth the energy expenditure. It is perfectly okay that for you, it _isn't_ acceptable. I am not trying to convince you of anything. Just affirming that there exists a subset of humans that find value in it, and therefore are willing to allocate resources -- be that electrical energy, fiat money, or mindshare.

I’m biased but I wonder whether these outlets write more about Bitcoin hurting the environment than oil companies and other energy producers pushing back so hard on alternative energy.
a presentation about your projects you've worked on? hmmm, when I interview someone about their projects its pretty much a conversation where there is no set plan.

Reproducing common tools is a common exercise when you are learning.

A school, we rewrote a significant part of libc, a unix shell, a FTP server, a compiler, etc... Of course, our work was inferior to anything on the market and no sane person would use it in production, but it wasn't the point. We learned a lot doing that and that's the important thing. The code itself got lost like as old exercise books.

A lot of anti-patterns are actually good when you are learning, and reinventing the wheel is the best example.

The IRS not collecting Bitcoin is a feature, not a bug. The IRS/USD/US military are all one and the same. Bitcoin is politically and socially "cleaner" than USD and other state backed currency because it's not dependent on military oppression.

I hear bitcoin is consuming electricity equivalent to what Argentina uses in a year. We could design a currency that's more ecological friendly, that would reduce the amount of carbon we'd need to spew.

I worry that companies like PayPal are interested in btc precisely because they know it won't ever threaten them.
The only company I encountered recently who wanted me to give a presentation when applying for a software engineering job was Snowflake. I guess asking everyone to jump through that hoop is one way of cutting down on the number of candidates.
I had this very discussion just a few days ago. Agencies like the EPA cannot satisfy their objectives by advising alone. Administration and case-handling is the bread and butter of executing any strategy, and laws alone won’t cut it.

It is inevitable to have some sort of policy-making involved, even for an agency, because the very strategy they choose to reach a certain goal (set by politicians) or enforce a law (set by politicians) may itself be a choice between political alternatives.
I guess the moral is only spend time and effort on stuff that can be reused for multiple job candidacies, like a resume, website, or side project.
I contend that ECS is overengineering in any game that isn't an immersive sim. It is certainly overengineering for beginners working on relatively simple 2D games.
> No, it doesn't! Exactly the opposite!

How?

> Again: if a BitCoin miner generates 1 TWh/yr of their own electricity, how does that reduce the burning of fossil fuels?

First of all, if a BitCoin miner can generate 1 TWh/year of their own electricity without burning fossil fuels, then the entire argument around Bitcoin electricity use is moot. Second of all, the only way a BitCoin miner can generate 1TWh/year of their own electricity is if they have access to the tools/infrastructure necessary to set up their own power generation — and the demand for that tooling/infrastructure stimulates the development and promulgation of it.

> Likewise, if power companies create more green power to supply the needs of BitCoin miners, how does that reduce the burning of fossil fuels? You're simply consuming whatever new green energy you're creating.

Again, because if you dust off your "economics" argument, when demand increases, cost increases. Then when cost increases, as long as supply is elastic, it increases to meet the demand. The demand for green energy, today, is increasing at a natural/slow pace, but if you have a financialized industry that demands high volumes of it, you supercharge the development of infrastructure on the supply side — enough that eventually the majority of electricity supply is green.

> So the whole "it will make power companies produce more green energy, and therefore it's good for the planet" argument falls flat.

You really haven't explained how. Your entire argument presupposes fixed supply. Maybe that's true, but you'll then have to make the case for why the supply of green energy (or tooling/infrastructure) is fixed.

As it stands, right now, there's a lot of money to be made selling solar panels. If industries mobilize to cheaply produce easy-to-deploy solar panels at scale, that is good for everyone.

Companies these days expend way too much energy interviewing people, and people then fail to prepare for the interviews or communicate internally afterwards. When I went for interviews I hated it when people did not even read my resume and sometimes did not even know what position it was for. Companies demand so many interviews from their existing people that they become jaded and no longer care.

I once went for an interview as a contractor and they scheduled 8 consecutive interviews in a row. Half never showed up, or asked the same lame questions. Also what they were looking for was actually different than what they had told me, so I flew to another city (they paid) for nothing. I didn't get (or want) the job.

Good thing too, a month later the entire division was shut down.
You'll forgive me for sticking with the definition of money used by all academic experts in the field and the vast majority of colloquial use...
