It provides a mechanism to transfer balances securely from wallet A to Wallet B and it’s popularity and thus acceptance continues to increase, so it’s unfair to say there is no value inherent to it.
Are you getting a huge amount of qualified applicants? I thought I was qualified for a role I applied to, but apparently the talent team did not even think I was worth considering for an interview.
I love Jose Valim's work (even back to the inherited resources days!), but with a very popular Nx already out there (nx.dev a dominant player in the monorepo space) this naming just adds to confusion. Nx is on the thoughtworks radar so not exactly unknown:

I know for a fact it has already confused elixir developers who were looking for an elixir plugin for Nx (the monorepo tool).
I honestly wonder what made java so prevalent server side. JVM jit speed and memory safety are good arguments but the rest was not so shiny. Remember the J2EE era, it was horrible and the reason java got there seems, IMO, to be heavy marketing.

ps: I forgot, the JVM spec was a good thing, it made a lot of things sound for people, so easier deployments and less inconsistencies.
You could reframe your point without it being an attack on "HN" as a unit, and without making yourself sound above it.
The options truly are just those two in my country if I want to open a bank account, buy stocks and etc, so I expected less sketchy crypto exchanges, payment/crypto acc and etc to implement the same mechanisms because otherwise it is very likely that they are simply not following my local laws and are enabling money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal activities to gain market share. The only thing that is a bit different is that if you physically go to branch they will only record your id and address (they don't need a recorded video of you saying the bank name or similar to verify that those documents belong to you).
This is an incredible statistic, and quite counter intuitive…. Goes to show that stress can come from any kind of change, even if that change seems to remove a major amount of expected work

Perhaps weaning off of work would be better than cold turkey retiring?
> it proclaims to know the best pens released in this year

No, not at all. Did you misread the headline?

> being released in the middle of 2022 doesn't make it an invalid pen...

Yes it does. This article is about what you might want to buy right now to start into the year 2022. Unless you give me a time machine your hypothetical pen is an invalid choice.
There it is, the comment that uncritically defends cryptocurrencies.

I mean the traits you describe are not wrong, it's just that crypto is not useful as a payment method due to transaction volume, value / exchange rate volatility, acceptance, etc.

For a laugh, people bought pizzas and the like with bitcoin. Nowadays they hold onto it because it might be worth fiat money. Why spend something as money if it could be worth 20% more tomorrow?

It's an unregulated trading product, it's not practical as electronic money. I mean it might become that, but it would need a lot more oversight, which will cost the traits you mentioned (peer to peer, censorship resistant, etc).
I assume you've run profilers against it and captured CPU/memory snapshots? You may be filling up the heap, leading it to get into GC cycles to try to free memory. If that's happening you either have a memory/resource leak, or you just need to allocate more heap to run your application.

They aren't vulnerable in the same way, at least. With nearly every cryptocurrency (with exceptions like Dogecoin), new units of currency enter circulation in a predictable and ultimately, limited way. Vitalik can't conjure a million ethereum out of thin air tomorrow, but any government can spend a ton of money and attempt to cover their costs with newly printed currency.

Basically, you're trusting the market to not debase your currency instead of a single issuer.

I mean, you don't even talk directly to lawyers, it's the managers telling you that "this underwent legal review". What are you going to do, say "no it didn't"? Maybe it did. Maybe they did say it was ok.
So common stocks do not have any claims on the bank balances of a company. I'm not defending crypto but your assertion is not wholly correct. Ostensibly you are the very last in line of creditors to claim any assets if the company goes bankrupt but you will get very little to nothing .. pennies on the dollar if anything.

Stocks give you voting rights at the AGM and a claim on future profits through stock appreciation or dividends if the company decides to issue dividends.

It's a odd size but more for being too stingy - normally in these kinds of setups you get something like a /48 or /56 for routing which lets you still have some bits for routing and then you can hang normal /64 subnets at the end of your routes.

Operating systems don't support non-64 prefixes very well and v6 wasn't designed to work like that.

I think its important to sepate Java the language from JVM runtime

Likes of Kotlin (and controversially Scala) do quite well on it and solve many of the ugly deficiencies of Java

Its also probably important to separate latest Java (which is improving) from enterprise Java out there which usually feels like an archeology dig with decades of boilerplate and rubbish and terrible code

Currently in an enteprise java team and hate my life and regreting moving away from Kotlin+Springboot team.
I commend the author for such an extensive piece, I am sure it took some time to write and put together.

For me, Bitcoin isn't really the problem. If anything, I would be happy if Bitcoin remained the cryptocurrency. And, maybe Ethereum, since I respect Vitalik's work on it and his determination.

Problem arises with all the other "shitcoins" and all the stink they bring with them. There is absolutely no valid reason to invest in alternative crypto (coins, NFT, etc,.) because it has no real-world use or direct application for the individual himself.[0]

And everything that will follow in the coming 12 months, it will be merely an attempt to validate it. Web3 (the crypto version) is hyped up so much that will inevitably face the music when an avalanche of tribulations come crashing down on it.

[0]: The argument that you can use alternative coins to replace expensive banking in poor countries is acceptable, but I don't think that is the point here.
I’m not saying the government shouldn’t regulate this (they should!). What I’m saying is the airlines are the ones ultimately dispatching these flights. Why do we all say “oh we can’t do anything about the tragedy of the commons until the government steps in?”

No one in the developed world is so poor that they would need to commit crime to pay for drugs, if the drug market was unrestrictedz and could be bought alongside baking soda at the hardware shop. They would die from an overdose long before they spent their entire welfare cheque.

>>We don't want people to be hopelessly enslaved to drugs and unable to otherwise lead productive, meaningful lives, even if drugs are as cheap as "ground coffee."

Of course, and in that case, the person can be segregated from wider society, and committed to a rehabilation center.

>>Please, I beg you, actually spend some time in the Real World instead of sitting in your comfy room and relying on Google searches in vain attempts to justify your cold academic view of the world.

I have plenty of real world experience. The real world consequence of people in the government controlling our private interactions is inefficiency and corruption, that reduces the opportunities, wealth and hope available to marginalized people who are not connected to the insiders who control the levers of power.
Innovators combine new technologies to improve or expand human capabilities, and that’s happening in many many sectors indeed!
I have to disagree with the author here if only because the majority of applications he talks about are transitionary in the sense that they are dependent on AI/ML that's at the cusp of fruition. Self-driving is probably the best example I can come up with, where currently something like an Uber or DoorDash relies on a gig-worker underclass in order to drive things. But once autonomous vehicles come online, as they already are starting to, that opportunity will also soon disappear.

I think the more meaningful question to ask here is what happens when even the menial labor made available through gig work[0] starts to dry up. The discussion, in my opinion, should really no longer be about the legitimacy of automation which I believe is being argued here, but what we will do as a society in response to the inevitability of automation and its ramifications for the average person as a result.

[0]: I see gig work as the culmination of peak labor efficiency, short of perhaps slavery / indentured servitude, which even then isn't enough to compete after a certain point

my ancestors had property rights and university education for women, always anti-slavery.. please do not lump me into your vague assertion

edit- the USA was divided strongly between states, which had constitutions of their own. There was a very bright line between the Massachusetts colonies and the Virginia colonies, and then others.. Property rights and real education for women were a large topic! slavery was hated for good reasons .. the social contract that "my particular ancestors" created, specifically are what the PP were dismissing.. its inaccurate to dismiss that
I'm not sure why the example used for formal verification is Z3, and not proof assistants like Coq or Agda. SMT solvers have made verification a lot more accessible, but Coq is strictly more expressive than Z3.
I think much of the hate for java came from non-programmers, or future programmers who had to deal with runtime issues. For a long time if an app was written in Java it meant it was going to be a pain at some point.
In 1922 only 5% of people went to University - now 50% go on to post secondary which is largely due to cost and opportunity.

Only about 50% finished HS - now it's 95%.

Doctors were not very affordable by anyone - now it's >90%.

Most people didn't have running water and electricity yet now it's almost 100%.

The only thing that's not as nice as 'real estate' - housing was cheap, but the houses were crap, and often you were isolated.

If you want to go out of major US urban area, and build a small home to 1925 standards, then it's affordable.

But if you are young, then I am actually sympathetic to you: education and housing costs are 'worse' now than in then 1990's. Those are the two things I will say Gen Z 'has it hard' with. That, and having to grow up where everyone has social media, which is not a social benefit, it's dystopian if you ask me.

The Guide to Goal Setting
I’m with you, we spend most of our time testing for bugs that we are more comfortable with but they all have some underlying assumption about how we integrate with outside systems. Defensive programming has often taken a backseat to delivering features and testing has more so become a rubber stamp for regressions rather than a test of resilience. A lot of modern software, especially web apps are very brittle, when something stops working the way it’s supposed to the whole app goes into an undefined failure mode instead of giving a user partial functionality.
The same reason Linux desktop apps look uglier than on macOS , apple regulates UX strictly whereas android allows developer to make their apps look like whatever. The builtin UX components are mediocre which app devs half-ass and use in some places but not others.
Wow I'm literally implementing this right now!!

I was stuck at parents for xmas and I picked Tannenbaum “distributed systems” and “Modern operating systems”, which gave me an idea of running a "kernel" on a browser. It was more of an academic exercise than anything else, but my intention was to have a the following:

Being able to unload and reload javascript. The initial idea was to write the website inside the website, but at the core level it requires having something akin to process isolation for javascript. It also requires the dom to be isolated.

Implementing 9p2000, and share resources across browsers. I’ve been reading about the ideas of plan 9 and i would like to implement something that allows me to connect point to point to other browsers and mount their FS into mine so we can share resources.

One of the cool results that I got was that since the dom is not directly changed (each process/worker has its own partial dom and every time that it changes it a delta is sent back to the main thread for sync) it allows javascript to be running somewhere else (another browser, back end server) and sync’ed back (much like vadaain, but more agnostic).

Most of the code was inspired by the linux kernel (which gave me a reason to go learn its internals) and is kinda nasty at some points but is written in typescript as some of you have already mentioned. Someone might find it interesting even if just for the educational purpose of it

I wouldn't call it hubris but lack of universal knowledge of the exponential nature of development. That was before I saw the universal lack of just this comprehension in the comments.

What people may mean is that a jump from 10^5 to 10^6 can feel bigger than a jump from 10^6 to 10^7? And that we are more surprised by large things than by some small piece of 'magical paper' which can completely change its display at will.
I find Harry Markopolos desperately trying to be so rabidly anti-Enron, that his opinion seems to be bitter rather than actual criticisms.
Why would it be necessary to have an engineer on call 24/7 ? If you do your risk calculations and an outage of 12 hours is acceptable in the expected frequency you just let the engineer have a nice evening and night an deal with the outage in the morning.
If outages are only to be expected once a year an you can tolerate 48 hours of outage you don't need any on call engineer. Most outages are cause by changes. You can test those and plan putting these in production and have elevated monitoring after this to catch problems early.
Only problem remaining is hardware outages. And those are very rare as long as you do decent lifecycle maintenance.
As others said before. Not everyone is Google or Amazon and needs 99,999% uptime.

Sure, there is social hierarchy within the tribe. But the tribe members all share a common culture. The phone isn't necessarily about being cool, it's about conforming to the rest of the tribe. A tribe that all uses Android is possible, but the interlocking nature of social networks combined with a teen's heightened sensitivity to being an outsider creates a stronger "winner-take-all" mechanism in teen social networks compared to adults.
It's unclear. Do you know what CA's you currently trust on your machine? I bet you can't even identify 1 tenth of them.

There are so many CA's installed by default that it's truly a massive man-in-the-middle attack whenever you might think you are safe, you are not.

I would assume the CCP & the KGB control at least one of the CA's your OS currently trusts. (No doubt the NSA has one too)

The underlying L1 is so utterly incapable that entire centralized, trusted and opaque businesses have to be built on top of and around it - offering none of the guarantees of the underlying - just to get past the fact it can't actually support more transactions than a mid-sized Costco.

I think a lot of these are discipline strategies and I'd wager that personal trainers to professional athletes perform as less of an external source of discipline and more of an external brain/workout strategist/source of encouragement, as professional athletes usually already have the discipline/motivation a little under control.

Whereas personal trainers (as opposed to professional trainers and more in line with the previous comment's thought of a single nemesis/mentor) would need to be that external source of discipline, as well.

Totally guessing here, no experience in the training world whatsoever, feel free to tell me I'm way off base.
The financial system also has a saying: The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

The verification you refer to prevents double spending. It does not prevent insane valuation swings due to sentiment, government action, etc. That makes it a worse store of value than most fiat currencies.

> One thing I've never understood about crypto is: once the token has completely penetrated society and become the de facto actual currency, doesn't the growth decay? At that point, what's the value in holding that token vs redirecting liquidity to a new token?

I thought that was sort of the point, that crypto wasn't really meant to be an investment class, but more of a stable store of value like a currency. The mix-in at present is it's not a de-facto currency, so the price is highly volatile due to people treating it as an investment, speculating, gambling, etc.

And then the conflict to be wary of, or the question always in the back of my mind when looking at the promoters, is there own investments do better when they sell others on the same investment.
