christiansakai··on Rich people do have trouble understanding what it's like to be poor
This so much. Pretty much why I can never ever mingle peacefully with most of my US born friends. They are too woke for me.
christiansakai··on How to get rich without being lucky (2019)
FYI, usually in 3rd world countries don’t have unemployment benefit, govt support or bankruptcy laws. Not sure what fallback you meant here.

I love immigrant stories! U know what we have in common as immigrants. We just love to work and make money, to see that our hands actually produce money that goes into our bank statement just brings joy. It is almost not about the money itself but the honor that we get knowing that people appreciate our service.

I love it how Americans and first world countries native born just love to bash these kinds of articles.

While people like me who came from 3rd world country that immigrated to US and first world countries can relate with posts like these.

christiansakai··on Working at a startup is overrated, both financially and emotionally
This is why I just do crypto. Say what you want about crypto, but the risk reward ratio is easily exceeding lotteries and startup lotteries.

Edit: and I do it while working at one of the tech giants. Paycheck goes to crypto.

christiansakai··on U.S. Treasury calls for stricter cryptocurrency compliance with IRS
You need to pay gas fees to transfer/execute smart contracts.

It is more fun to play in person!
christiansakai··on Crypto crash deepens, stocks slip
GPU prices going down wont' happen. Just take the hit, or queue.
christiansakai··on PlanetScale – Database for Developers
will this support blob as well like S3?
christiansakai··on The IRS Is Coming for Crypto Investors Who Haven’t Paid Their Taxes
What is this? "If you've maintained the asset for several years you get a tax break" Just capital gain?
christiansakai··on Rust on the Frontend and Backend
I see. Last time I saw Rust compilation speed isn’t that fast.
christiansakai··on Rust on the Frontend and Backend
Rust has macros so this is possible. Maybe wont look exactly like JSX but it is good enough.
christiansakai··on Rust on the Frontend and Backend
I think it is a disadvantage to write Rust on the frontend. Frontend code moves too much and quick prototyping/iteration is more important than memory control.

As for typing, just use TypeScript. It is really good enough already.

christiansakai··on Open Source Continuous File Synchronization
I've been thinking to create a desktop app for family uses. Like, family photo albums, notes, precious documents, and more ambitious projects, maybe passwords? My relatively big families are scattered throughout a few different countries and homes.

I am a fullstack web dev so creating web app or electron app is right up my alley, but not in distributed databases or peer to peer stuffs.

I was looking at OrbitDB the other day, but I'm curious can it be programmed to just connect peer to peer to my family computers ip addresses?

Also, as far as I know, I can't upload blob data to OrbitDB, and has to use IPFS instead. Can this syncthing solves this problem?

Or more generally, is there any OSS software that already solves this problem? I'd love to learn how to build it.

The whole system doesn't need to be high performance, it is just for family uses.

No Interstellar? Sorry I am not a Physicist.

You can still be a consumer/buyer, like me. Together we make the world go round and around.
christiansakai··on Amazon Sidewalk
Do you want another security disaster? Because this is how you get another security disaster.
christiansakai··on Wealthy use debt to buy future cash flow everyone else uses debt to buy stuff (2020)
Wealth, crypto, high salary of FAANG engineers, data structures and algorithm interviews, diversities are the pet peeves of average HN commenters.

Guaranteed to hit front page when the articles revolved around these areas.

christiansakai··on JavaScript for Shell Scripting
Welcome to GME/Doge era.

Very bullish on JavaScript.

christiansakai··on JavaScript for Shell Scripting
Lol. Anything that can be written in JavaScript will be written in JavaScript.
christiansakai··on Starting a crypto project
So he is a Bitcoin shill? lol. Nothing to see here boys. You get all you know already.

Ironically this post happens near top as well lol http://paulgraham.com/newideas.html

christiansakai··on Volta
What about privacy/security issue? Windows 10 we have no control with, but with Linux we do.
christiansakai··on Is Dogecoin Capped?
I am surprised that people still think Cardano is a vaporware. The code is there, the smart contract pioneer program just launched, people are enrolled in it. The Africa deals are there. The NFT capability and NativeToken capability is there. What is vaporware about it? There are easier ways to scam people than just building those stuffs out.

And yet we laugh on flat Earthers. Look at what I found here.

christiansakai··on What is Chia cryptocurrency and why is it bad news for hard drives?
And Cardano's Proof of Stake is groundbreaking. I don't know why the commenter chose to list those coins.
christiansakai··on What is Chia cryptocurrency and why is it bad news for hard drives?
Bank bailouts in 2008 justified? Save the rich, screw the poor and the middle class. At least the society is peaceful.
christiansakai··on What is Chia cryptocurrency and why is it bad news for hard drives?
Why?

Proof of Social Good. Increase your neighbor's credit score and you will earn a coin.

Bram Cohen has that brand name power? TIL.
christiansakai··on SSD makers start warning that mining products like ChiaCoin will void warranty
But why did China decided that Chia is the one to do, and why now. Why the sudden focus on this crypto?
