Man, that makes me happy I have chosen Linux as my OS and stayed with it. I couldn't live without Docker anymore. It is just so convenient and logical. Juggling a mix of environments on my host seems insane to me. And without Docker, h

I'm using Linux as the host. No problems with Docker being slow. I can't say if there is a difference to running stuff directly on the host. If there is, it must be such a small difference that I can't notice it. I would have

Is Docker really a hassle? In every project directory, I have a "run.sh" script that starts a docker container with the right stack and mounts the project dir into the container. Been doing this for years now. It feels completely

What is the idea here on how to use it for anything but front end development? When I edit PHP, Python, Ruby, whatever code that is hosted on GitLab via their Web IDE, how am I supposed to see the result when it needs a whole stack with Lin

What are the pros and cons of branches+merge-commits vs tags? So instead of a "v4.11-rc7-87" tag you would have a "v4.11-rc7-87" branch and a merge commit that holds the meta info about that branch.

The first example illustrates perfectly why I dislike explicit typing: primes: set[int] = set() candidate: int = randint(4, domain) It's just so ugly and redundant. My feeling is that redundant stuff like type hints make

"Web 3" to me is that when I "get a like" on Twitter, it is not an entry in their database. But a signed message "I like post <hash> /signed <someone>". Where <hash> is the hash of one of

Maybe it's the new normal? Just like doubling the money supply every couple of years seems to be the new normal since it started in 2008?

Why do banks lend money? I thought they create it via writing into their database "Tomesco: $100" and boom $100 was created?

I disagree. When I lend 2022 dollars to the government, I give away a certain amount of buying power. I don't know if I will get that buying power back when I get my 2032 dollars. The government does not always have the capability to

The FED can buy bonds in an auction at will. Because it prints the money to do so. It's not like the FED goes "Uh oh, those bonds are too expensive for me".

A guaranteed return of dollars. What those dollars are worth is not guaranteed. Imagine Tesla would hand out a certain type of share that after 10 years turns into 2 shares. Nobody would call that a risk free return. Because you don't

there is a risk free alternative to stocks How is holding a bond risk free? It is a promise to give you a certain amount of money at a certain time in the future. The value of that money depends on how scarce it is. The government

When governments rise the interest rate, is that the interest rate the government pays when you lend money to the government?

In Google Colab, when you "Download ipynb" you get a file that looks like json. You can prettify it via "python3 -m json.tool" for example. Then you have a structure that you can diff via your favorite diff tool. What is

So crypto traders hold $150B of dollar denominated stable coins at the moment?

Go to AirBnB. On the homepage you will see a bunch of premises. Right click "Open image in a new tab". Boom, you see the full image. On the home page, you only saw a cutout of the image. Now imagine going to AirBnB and changing th

I associate the term "short-term liquidity" with money that can be used to pay employees and suppliers. Are exchanges really holding stablecoins for this purpose?

by TekMol 4y ago
Ok, I understand that a stablecoin it is easier to handle than the dollar. But who is doing it? What is the use case?
952.
by TekMol 4y ago
What are people holding all those stable coins for? In contrast to other crypto currencies, nobody is holding it for speculation. I doubt anybody expects stable coins to be a better store of "dollar value" than the dollar itself.

Slack, Dropbox, Google, Notion, Spotify, superhuman, 1Password, Robinhood… I don't use any of these. With the exception of Google (the search engine). Which I don't think is a SPA. When I type a search query and hit

"Holders" is defined how? I have the feeling by address? If you add assets under management for all banks in the USA, you will probably get to an even more extreme distribution. Bank of America alone has $1.55 trillion under manag

On AirBnB, you search for a location on the homepage and then you go to a new page, the map page. Which is a bit SPAish because it reloads apartments when you move the map. Then when you click on an apartment, you go to a new page, the apar

Where are those SPAs everybody is talking about? All sites I use regularly are MPAs: Hackernews, Amazon, AirBnB, Booking.com, Wikipedia, GithHub ... Reddits new design is kind of a hybrid. It is MPA when you hop between subreddits and other

This is the first time I hear about something like this. Can you give an example?

Is all that is going on in DeFi just self-referential? I mean, there is money moved around all the time, there are more and more clever and complex systems. But are they connected to the real world in some way? For example, the stock market
