Build things, get critical feedback on them, improve them, repeat. HN is a great source for that type of feedback. Start tiny and just build as much as you can. Nothing will teach you more faster than just building.

It will never get fined because it’s how the people who legislate fines are making (and keeping) their money and control.

But raft isn’t strongly consistent, it has known liveness issues.

I agree. There’s beauty in suffering. There’s lessons in it. It sucks but when you come out the other side I wouldn’t trade the lessons I got for anything.

Ah, I see someone went on a deep dive of Utah lore after reading the PornHub ban thread

> feels like it will lead to a pyrrhic victory at best by making your average Joe more skeptical of government overreach

This is basically how all climate regulations are perceived at the end of the day, and it’s the primary fuel for my most doompilled opinions for sure.

The 2022 SO survey puts it as one of the most popular languages, and spark or ada don’t even make the list

Of course he was hired by Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Of course he was.

AGI: “What is my purpose?”

Me: “You create blog-spam for a Fortune 50.”

AGI: “Oh my god.”

Counter-point: I’ve dealt with engineers who certainly would’ve considered themselves this article’s brand of “craftsman”. But all it really meant was that they tolerated their own TODOs in the code and no one else’s. Theirs were obviously justified and smart and correct TODOs and yours were just nonsense, trivial, brutish TODOS.

Too frequently this attitude is just a bad cover for acting like your shit don’t stink.

Their guidance to treat it like a security has clear tax implications, im obviously not saying they control the tax legislation itself.

But crypto _is_ regulated. The SEC has been clear about how to treat and tax crypto.

For the love of god people don’t use any website to generate passwords, it’s practically begging to be compromised.

Fucking sigh. This is just a thinly-veiled advertisement for this company’s “creative retreats”.

Ironically enough Covid showed us how fast emissions could be curbed and how quickly nature started to reclaim space when it was given room to breathe. The canals in Venice flowed clear for the first time in decades, air quality the world over improved drastically, etc… we all saw it, and nobody gave a fuck.

Everyone is too concerned with their bottom dollar and it’s gonna be too late to change once the collapse starts.

Already happened to Tupac at Coachella.

It’s already the norm in the US too. License plate readers have existed for like, a decade, and most cop cars I see in my state have them visibly mounted.

I didn’t mean my comment about this tweet exchange as an example, I was only trying to speak to the comment I replied to about a general trend. This particular exchange is not the problem; it’s the inability for the public to gauge when it’s not like this, though, if that makes sense.

I typically agree but I also have to remind myself that change happens very slowly, then all at once.

This is what social media’s real damage is. It turned academic progress into arguable points. Your research degree and countless lab hours is equally valid to my two-second no-research hot take, and if you’re not on board with it then you’re swarmed.

This article is more spun than the thread in my shirt. Absolute repost spam about an otherwise interesting topic.

Nuclear waste is a solved problem that only fear mongers bring up anymore.

I won’t be predictive or prescriptive about the markets. But it’s clear that tech giants will soon have to fall or evolve.

Incredible. What an under appreciated game. I’ve played a little bit of it and the world is absolutely enormous.

The great shake up has started. Google pissing their pants with AIs abrupt arrival, Twitter dying a death by a million cuts, Facebook in mid-air making their VR play, the tech skyline will look very different in 5 years.

2011 called, they want their flash mob back
