Can share much of the same code on front end / backend. Excellent built-in immutable data structures. Arguably the best modern lisp. Community is usually ahead of its time on state management solutions. Typescript is probably a better

The reason I'd object to this is that you'd be able to indefinitely defer taxes by using C-corps as holding cos.

These protocols typically have various strong incentives to prevent drops below a certain collaterization ratio. There is a real danger that ETH/USD moves too quickly while gas fees get too high for the system to function properly and

While the term "petrodollars" makes sense prescriptively, saying that the KSA would be "overthrown" if they started settling transactions in something other than dollars is pure hyperbole. The macrobullshitters that keep

You could always start with postgresql and use the transaction log to materialize views for particular use cases (ie differential data flow). This post is clickbaity in that it doesn’t give any administration advice but right in the broad s

ECS (data-oriented programming?) is slowly taking over in the video game industry as a clearly superior paradigm. i did some UE4 programming recently, and as powerful as that engine is, the super-heavyweight object/inheritance system w

Agreed this is less convenient than pandas for many tasks, however large market makers (citadel securities, Susquehanna, Jane st, Hudson River trading) employ abstractions like this out of necessity.

This is true for illiquid assets. XRP is a liquid asset, and you could probably move a hundred million dollars or more out of it in a matter of days. That said, it’s always seemed like a scam to me.

Who upvotes this? The backlash against Musk and Tesla is solely through Musk’s behavior. He acts like a penny stock fraudster and the negative press he receives is because of the Koch brothers? Surely Soros also owes my girlfriend a lot of

I recently purchased a low-profile mechanical keyboard with low key travel (Havit tenkeyless) and it’s been amazing (I’ve always disliked how high profile and long key travel cherry switch keyboards have). The switches feel great but build

Given the change in licensing terms, I'd expect open-sourcing the db would be the next step. Enterprise support and professional services revenue would increase consummate with adoption.

I completely disagree with your assertion that you can "cure" deflation with a printing press. And how is Japan not a relevant example? You can certainly raise prices of financial assets but when the long rates are low for so long

I sincerely doubt a "super-futuristic" aesthetic is going to catch on in the mainstream. One of the reasons the Model S has done so well is because it resembles other large luxury sedans that it competes against. One very thing in

Part of me wonders why they don't open source datomic and crank up the marketing effort on the consultancy and datomic/clojure/etc support portion of the business. It seems like a much more effective model for DB companies. F

Breadth and depth are both very important. Too much breadth and you have a hard time getting any non-trivial job done. Not enough breadth and you use the wrong tool for the job. If you want to be the best dev possible, it's probably go
