Of course! That's good engineering. However I argue that the default is far too often to use something 'off-the-shelf' and trusting it A) works, B) is secure, C) is supported, and D) will remain so for the lifetime of your pr

Why do you need that level of reliability - is it for potentially commercializing the machine? Sounds like a cool project :)

Sure but realistically most people only use a few of fakers features right? It’s not that time consuming to make in-house. And after those few hours of work you don’t have a dependency/new security vector to consider. I guess the JS ec

by exdsq 5y ago
Yes but for the sake of a few hours you now have 22 dependencies and a new security vector to consider :) And of course the reason this new version exists is because the previous version was deliberately broken. Why add significant dependen

Why is this project so popular? I’ve built mini APIs to do this in several previous jobs - either for the purpose of fuzzing, anonymizing real user data for test environments, or readable testing. Each time it’s taken maybe two days of effo

An unintended consequence that adds a feature is an emergent behavior isn’t it?

I've used Haskell for 18 months in a professional setting. I prefer C++. Grass is always greener - having endless abstractions to be mathsy becomes a real pain when you're trying to build real products.

I agree, although I think the purpose is to teach Elixir and Nerves. On a side note your website, https://woodgears.ca/ , is awesome. If anyone sees this comment check out https://woodgears.ca/marbleadd/

Sounds like regular day trading has similar issues too?

I’ve spent the last few years working on test infrastructure for blockchain projects so this question is regularly on my mind, and I’ve found the best solution is to just include the dependencies. Compute and storage is cheap enough that yo

Depends if you view them as stocks or currencies, no? If it’s stocks then market cap is normal. Anyhow, if it was a giant Ponzi scheme then what about the projects ran by JP Morgan/Visa/Deloitte/etc? I have no doubt some proj

Maybe you mean that they haven’t made useful ground, where useful is specific to you. Remember that blockchain technologies have become legal tender, have over a trillion in market cap, have become financial instruments traded by people aro

Depends what girls think though, no? I know many who've taken part in such initiatives and enjoyed it, and seen it have an impact.

Cool! I worked on Cardano for about a year and a half, and have been working on DEXs since (Cosmos and Polkadot). There are some fun technical challenges involved :) It’s a cool space to be in atm

I have literally 10x’d my salary from when I started working in tech support ~8 years ago in Devon, England, with the biggest bump targeting US companies over EU ones. It’s pretty great that these options are available atm :)

What sort of stuff are you doing? I’ve been in the blockchain space for three years and enjoy the work. HN hates any mention of it though - you’re better off using other mediums for decent conversations on the topic.

Good! There is an oversupply of graduates and the debt bubble is just growing. This is a step in the right direction.

“Besides, many scientists look at code as a competitive advantage so in this case publishing the code will be removing the competitive advantage.” While I appreciate this is true, it’s also quite sad. Science shouldn’t be a competitive spor

Everything is trivial once you know it. Good engineering principles like software architecture, for example being able to produce a sound Onion architecture with an accurate and well tested domain model, could be missed entirely by focusing

We're going from "It's easy to earn $500k" to "Top-end financial shops in Chicago and New York". And if someone gets a good offer they'll be more likely to put it up on Levels. SBF earned what... $22B in t

Thank you for your application to extend our web forum built with Next.js. We query APIs from X, Y, and Z to offer Foo to 500 users. I see you have three years experience with Next.js and eight years working with X, Y, and Z! Excellent. We

I was being facetious - advising someone to become rich and retire early by getting a very difficult to achieve role in another country 10x that counties annual salary in their 20s is not much better than saying to someone if they want to b

Thank you. This is really my point. People share these rumors of a small minority making huge sums and normalize it as what anyone can do, which just does harm to the industry and to individuals. People actually in the sector/area know

I live in Palo Alto so I’m aware - but it is not easy to get to that point. It’s not a case of “oh, move to the US and earn $500k!”.
656.
by exdsq 5y ago
Okay sure, but it’s hardly the case one can just join a FAANG company at a senior level to earn $500k easily as OP suggests. Want to retire early? Easy! Just become a managing partner at JP Morgan in your late 20s and you’ll be rich enough

The gap between 250 and 500 is far wider than 0 and 250. Six figures at 20 is awesome but it’s not continuous explosive growth
658.
by exdsq 5y ago
The fact we’re specifying specific types of roles in specific cities indicates it’s not a case of “just moving to the US to earn $500k”

by exdsq 5y ago
Anyone here earning $500k in their 20s like this person suggests? I’m sure some can but this is not the norm and expectations need to be checked and called out when wrong.

by exdsq 5y ago
I don’t know if that’s true. I live in Palo Alto and know a fair few people at a fair few companies. Outside of a handful of companies they’ll only be hitting those with illiquid highly-valued stocks - not with base & bonus.
