I would take it more as a comment on the sheer volume of hiring, meaning there was a place for any level of engineer there.

Is it worth optimizing for future output when the life-saving metric during a global pandemic is time-to-first-dose? There are only a few factories in the world that can make something as complex as an mRNA vaccine. There is literally a shortage in glass beakers and shipping lanes are backlogged. These supply chains are very fragile and helping stabilize those would do more for vaccine supply than what's being proposed here.

The real problem limiting supply isn't the manufacturing, it's the supply chain. We now have factories optimized to produce vaccines as fast as the supply chain allows. If we start messing with the supply chains and divert inputs to factories not at the same optimization level then overall output could actually fall.

Maybe that's because 99% is purely held to speculate on the price going up?

So this assumes there is pent-up demand to use BTC as part of smart contracts that is not yet met by WBTC on Ethereum. I don't see anything that would validate that assumption.

I know these letters are probably hard to write but when you do have to write one I think referring to people as "people" instead of "resources" would be better.

you could also use something like https://coil.com to monetize your content and get paid in realtime based on views

Coil and Mozilla working on a web standard together, the fact that we now have a couple of years of examples of digital content creators being de-monitized on ad-supported platforms, and the fact that crypto currencies are more approachable now.

Companies like https://coil.com are solving this by giving you a single $5/month subscription and then streaming micropayments to the content creators as you consume their content. It builds on the WebMonitization standard https://webmonetization.org

That article is from 2018 :) Check out the mobile wallet XUMM for a solid approach.

What's your number? That's exactly what Ripple is working on - replacing SWIFT. https://ripple.com/ripplenet

Coil and Mozilla are working on something very similar to sponsorship but instead with micropayments that are streamed to content creator's wallets via a new open Web Monetization standard. https://webmonetization.org/docs/getting-started.html

Would be neat to see more sites adopt the web monetization standard via coil or other sites like it that enable content creators to offer paid content and get paid passively as more people discovered their content.

Seems consistent with his speech impediment, no?

"Corporate Export On the Plus plan, Workspace Owners can apply to access a self-service tool called Corporate Export. This type of export includes content from public and private channels and direct messages. If Corporate Export is enabled for your workspace, Standard Export will not be available." https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/201658943-Export-yo...

You could always just export all your company's slack data to preserve it and make it queryable https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/201658943-Export-yo...

Having to support a legacy RoR monolith and being happy with it are 2 different things. How many of those companies are now supplementing the monolith with microservices in other stacks and are actively chopping up the monolith? I know at least 2 of those companies are doing just that.

Java has JPA (Java Persistence API) which is an abstraction layer over various ORMs. However, most people use Hibernate. Hibernate is nice because it also gets out of the way when you need it to, like when you're inserting or selecting a massive amount of data. It also supports the Stream API now, which is super convenient.

I've found Admin interfaces on the same server to turn into liabilities and infosec in bigger orgs usually has strict rules around segregating admin access off into its own subnet with restricted access only to internal traffic.

That said, for simple monololiths I use Jhipster, which auto generates Admin pages for you similar to ActiveAdmin.

Build your app using whatever you're most comfortable with because in the end an existing product is better than no product. Will you enjoy spending an extra hour per day working with this framework over another? That's an hour more of progress.

Personally I think Spring Boot with Kotlin is a way better choice today for monoliths that transition well to micro services. But if you're already deep in the RoR world just go with that.

Running into stack or framework-related scaling problems is an honor and a huge accomplishment. Those are good problems and there are many ways to solve them, which will be extremely motivating at that point because people are actually using your thing.

I don't think the tool is the problem. We just have more people, flights are cheaper, and younger generations value experiences more than buying property and starting families. People used to send postcards, now it's digital.

You could probably leverage the service discovery APIs in Envoy to make this more stack-agnostic. Just a thought.

Only if they stay negative

Did you only create your account to poop on this guy's idea?

Because they feel it's wrong, legality aside.

When a zero day drops the size of the security team is irrelevant.

Googling bcrypt should do the trick and most people know how to do that. </sarcasm>

I didn't say equivalent in general. I said equivalent in the Java world where we are more used to having to deal with bloat. Just free yourself from your preconceptions and run ./gradlew . Everything will start up fine, no mess, I promise.

Our job as programmers is to hide complexity and expose it when needed. Nothing to shiver about.

Same with Twitter. Remember the Fail Whale? Those were the non-jvm days before they ran ruby on the jvm.

How is Spring Boot "enterprisey"? It makes modern java programming simpler and more accessible by hiding some of the unnecessary complexity. It enables things like https://jhipster.github.io/ which to me is the Rails equivalent in the java world.
