Just to warn folks, if they for whatever reason do something that makes want to get your money out, like not supporting a fork, the withdrawal delay on vaults can hinder your ability to get your funds out in time. Make sure if you do this

Slack's entire UX is gamified to take your attention by any means necessary (bright colors, flashing lights, "join this channel!" notifications). It's a massive productivity sink, and it's designed to be that way.

A couple of years ago I was praising them as the most perfect product I had ever used. Every single UX element was on point. Two years later, it is one of the most buggy, frustrating pieces of software I have ever used. Clearly somewhere

I agree and appreciate that, but I don't know that it's always true. The problem is that a lot of documentation and man pages out there just aren't written well. They bury the lede and make you dig around to figure out ho

You can bet I'll be removing every last coin I have from coinbase as soon as all of this is over. They gave a whopping three days notice. For those of us who had our coins in a vault, which adds a 48 hour delay to any transfers, this

No, it's just that the folks railing against it sound like sour grapes. If you want to pick a convincing analogy, do so. Calling it a Ponzi scheme doesn't fit and makes it sound like you're more interested in being contrari

Hmm, I'll take a look at that. For websockets, non-durability seems like a fine tradeoff, so it sounds interesting. Thanks!

Yeah, we went into it a bit in the "What We Learned" section, but that was most likely during the time we were having issues with RabbitMQ. I believe it was mostly fixed later on, but either way, we found a new pain point in our

So in that case, each pixel would be stored as a separate row in a relational database? And to query the whole canvas you'd query a million rows on every read? I lean towards just using the ratelimiting stuff we already have in place

I'm not sure why you're putting 5 minutes per letter in there. I'm sure he's a well-read guy. It's not crazy to think he could get through a one page letter in a minute or less.

Interesting. I have the exact same feeling on your first three, and have only ever given mindfulness a slight attempt. Maybe I should try it more. I'm surprised you came to the same conclusion on circumstances while still concluding
