Ignore the crypto; enjoy the integrated ad-blocking.

Most seamless ad-blocking I've ever experienced.

BTC _is_ the centralized alternative. It's a PUBLIC ledger and all the exchanges are following KYC.

A similar thing happens in Greece where if antiquities are found on your property , you want to properly bury it immediately or risk going bankrupt on your building project. Not sure on the details, but this is what my Greek boss told me once.

Absolutely. That inclination exists everywhere.

Imagine if your framework said,"let a thousand flowers bloom."

Opinionated frameworks are very useful. They create well-worn paths that others have tried before.

Every python flask environment I've ever seen has been a bespoke configuration with some selection of the massive combinatoric space that flask presents to folks.

Contrast that with python Django or Ruby on Rails where opinions abound, but you can escape the well worn path if you _need_ to.

You're on that page right now!

Why does this 6th grader have math homework? Finns have less time in school every day and they still do better than Americans.

Yeah. First you limit the depth of recursion.

Then you limit which objects can nest which other objects, under which circumstances..

Pretty soon -- you have a proscribed set of shapes that you allow... and you've converged on the same solution as achieved in the other direction by the REST API requiring explicit data shape inclusion from the caller.

I think it's the flexible middle-ground that REST APIs and GraphQL APIs converge on. GraphQL APIs that are completely open are trivially DOS'd with recursive data loops or deeply nested over-fetching requests and hence need to be restricted down to acceptable shapes -- thus converging on essentially the same solution from the opposite direction when constructing a GraphQL API.

Brave. It's Chrime with builtin ad blocking.

They don't like the politics of Brenden Eich.

As Lenin would say, "Who? Whom?"

TSMC handles AMD chips and NVidia chips. Why do you think Intel needs a special fab _for_ GPUs? It's the same lithography process.

It's a high level language with algebraic data types and fantastic type checking. I'll use it where ever I darn well please.

Security is always an economic activity too. The crash engrs at Ford could demand 30 mph speed governers, quarter inch steel plates, 5 point harnesses, and helmets, but people need a car that costs less than $200k and gets more than 2 miles per gallon.

Sometimes security requirements _are_ too onerous.

If he's suicidal, he could become homicidal. The first time my family experienced a manic psychological break from a cousin we just stayed in the house with him after a brief psych hospital stay. He then had some sort of further hallucinatory break and he was racing around the house -- literally like a mad man... very heart breaking... We called the cops and had him committed as we really could not take care of him at all and him running around like a crazy man could get _him_ shot by the cops. After he got help, was diagnosed bipolar, and was on his meds, he told us what his hallucinations were and the story in his head was that we were threatening his family -- that will turn most men homicidal, so we were very lucky.

Stresses can push someone over the edge too. We did just have a US Presidential election.

That theory does make sense. Half of serial killers have had traumatic brain injuries -- this would just be more of the same.

Have folks seen success with https://earthly.dev/ as a tool in their dev cycle?

If you don't like being paged at night, then Rust for CRUD apps is fantastic -- having worked with Python, c#, and nodejs backends, I'll take Rust backends every day of the week.

Not after you have to google, "What's the equivalent of `show tables` in postgres?", because the psql command names are completely arbitrary.

It's easier to read people with video. If you don't know someone that well, you can't pick up as many cues with just voice.

A have a friend that is an electrician. He's now in his 40's and was having pain from being in the construction industry since he was 18.

He snagged a sauna that a customer was throwing away. He does it in the evenings after work and now he wakes up pain free.

Kinda goes with the article's idea of blood flow sometimes being the cause of pain.

Dual boot today! Escape to Windows if/when you need, then reboot back into linux. Been doing that for 10 years and I only boot back into windows for gaming.

Just dual-boot. Run whatever hellscape of windows is current when you want to game, and run Ubuntu (or whatever) the rest of the time.

Been doing that for 10 years.

They're illegal, unless you're the government or... NFL, surprisingly.. "wonderlic"

It doesn't matter. It's a heuristic. _vocabulary_ test performance correlates with IQ and vocabulary is _only_ a test of something you know.

Yes, modern pesticides degrade. Farmers keep very detailed spray records and fields have essentially "lock out, tag out" times after certain spray applications. Other sprays can't be applied X number of days before harvest, because the application's degradation isn't complete. After harvest, produce who's skin is consumed, like apples, go through a "drencher" and later "dump tank", to perform more washing of the produce's skin.

Bingo. A BS is a great filter for hard working and higher IQ.

Guess who does really really good in sales? People who play varsity or college sports. Is it a rule? Nope. Is it a great heuristic? Yep. Does football teach you sales? Not really... but it does filter for certain traits, one of which is probably pure animal magnetism and the base desire of humans to be influenced bt the most fit individual.
