I agree with most of this.

> without needing to get into the weeds of threading

A thread is the exact concept needed to describe that and preserve “if else then” sequential code.

> 1000s of threads

Linux handles thousands of threads just fine. If you’re using a scripting language like python, context switching is the least of your performance concerns.

The entire unix operating system is designed so that you can write sequential code. It abstracts concurrency away. It’s incredible.

It’s a bust in its first round? As others have pointed out, maintaining performance with less power is an improvement.

Which just means the lock happens at user scope in this case instead of per table or row. This limitation still causes so much confusion when it’s a completely reasonable design.

> now you have people on different schema versions until you figure it out.

That can be a good thing if your product has say < 100 customers. As each might have different upgrade timelines and needs. I even know of business like this who do custom work for some so they essentially aren’t even running the same code (gasp).

I guess it depends on the business structure.

And yet, I still get significantly less spam by using a simple approach like an image. It's about raising the cost above 0, not making it impossible to crack.

You have it backwards. The deposits were used to fuel a separate trading business. All exchanges use customer deposits to grow their business.

The commodity use of gold is very minor. It's liked in jewelry not for its utility, but its prestige. So once again gold jewelry holders look an awful lot like investors. Just like how ETH enthusiasts do, even if they also use it to perform tasks with smart contracts.

So our friend saeranv is actually just parroting the consensus.

This is simply mentally reclassifying "consumers" outside the category of investors.

The argument for crypto, etc is the same. There are consumers who want to make purchases, use contracts, etc.

> It's not that SBF had a brilliant business model in mind

They had the largest crypto exchange right? That's a competitive market. Seems like something was going right.

In the book it explains that it is a homegrown tool. It’s likely secret sauce they do not release publicly.

There are more kinds of incentives than money.

System level security seems to be the real solution to memory safety. Declaring invariants for an entire program gives you much more peace of mind than hoping there are no bugs in JVM.

Process separation is already a success story that eliminates who classes of exploits.

The only thing you need to know to use pledge is what kernel features you access (file system, network, etc).

the point is the owners have a positive exit that they choose. And yes people are agents

The features you use are not the features everyone else uses.

> people who follow the rules and do well in "school maths" are very likely to also do well and succeed in "higher mathematics".

I somewhat disagree. There were plenty of students who start to hit higher classes and just don't have the aptitude for it. They really didn't know it wasn't their thing until junior year of undergrad, despite always being told they were "good at math" as a kid.

No doubt. But ranking math skills, being especially consistent in studies/homework is maybe number 5. The problem I am pointing out is math teachers often only have that 1.

Math teaching selects for people who do their homework everyday. This is very different from what actual math selects for.

Some of us like to program

I think the excitement about SQLite comes from LAMP stack fatigue Every Wordpress site could have been built on sqlite just fine, with better security too. But beyond that, you probably want a real RDMS with auth and alter table.

This doesn’t meant what you think it does. They lock and take turns. You can have hundreds of clients (on the same machine), and it works fine.

> its only a bubble when people want to sell or refinance though

The "everyone will just hold forever" theory doesn't describe markets well. People usually move because they have to: unemployment, run out of space, divorce, death, marriage, etc. This will not change, even if the rate of turnover is slower.

This sounds exactly like Silicon Valley approved humor.

Of course. Sophisticated marketing campaigns have material covering the full range of audiences from bikini clad women, to scientific papers.

I guess you will just have to stick with the ones your parents taught you, and were implicit in the culture and reinforced by state curriculum.

I agree in principle. It's probably better at top schools and lib arts colleges, but a large percentage of my generals were also low quality department fundraisers (a health class comes to mind).

> General education in university isn't the norm around the world.

And it shows.

I was recently at a training for $ELITE_HIRING_COMPANY and as part of this they asked us to discuss some liberal arts style questions. The international hires who had been answering business questions all day suddenly were extremely confused at the question itself and had nothing to add (and it wasn't a language problem).

You might argue that those skills are not substantive or valuable, and perhaps we just learned in school to parrot reasonable sounding responses, but it was a stark contrast.

Besides the joke, I think it can help you sympathize with women in that situation as well, and maybe improve your dating :) You can start to see why lots of attention still feel shollow.

Yeah ok, people are sending me jobs... do they even know what I do? This looks automated, they probably send a million?
