NFTs help solve a few of the problems in reselling gig tickets 1. Royalties paid to the band 2. Allow you to check they're authentic tickets 3. Allow you to sell them online to people in a trusted away (atomic transactions for money, s

Why no monthly fee for Pro? So much more likely to try a 30-day trial and then $10 a month than an $89 up-front fee. Maybe this is subjective but the way SaaS has gone I assume people have A/B'd this and it's the proven model

Take this with a heap of salt but I looked for this figure yesterday and found it to be 12 in several sources, but hard to find the official figures. Share them if you do find them!

Never forget that the boring approach of regular savings is a great reliable approach to reaching FIRE. What I'd do first is max my tax-free savings account (a stocks & shares ISA in the UK). That's 20k a year. Assume that gro

I’d love to know what someone works on when the risk of losing data is not worth one or two days engineering work.

This is six and a half years old, wasn't about a novel defi instrument but about derivatives, and derivatives aren't illegal. They're also now well implemented in DeFi.

Care to show one or two financial instruments that were claimed to be "novel" but were made "illegal a century ago"?

In theory, but who uses something other than either Github or Gitlab? Obviously I know some people do, but I've yet to work on a project that doesn't just stick with the one.

Not at all! Governance councils are elected for terms by stakeholders. You could remove that and just require everyone with a stake to vote and hope for 50% but this one didn’t

There’s lots of projects on Gitcoin that you can apply for that pay well but because of their design it’s a race to finish, which I don’t really enjoy. Compensation-wise, crypto as a domain pays very competitively! The DAO work was pretty g

It was fun but not terribly efficient. I can see it growing with things like Gitcoin for open source projects with treasuries. Saying this I’ve found it far quicker to get freelance work with crypto than more corporate gigs. Last corporate

Even cool non-bs cryptocurrency topics just get derided by cRyPtO iS a ScAm comments sadly. It’s an easy way to get karma :)

Oh I've spent years working with Haskell and work with Rust right now! And I absolutely love diving into the pros of awesome type systems. I've actually worked with Golang, F#, Scala, Typescript, Java, C#, C++, Python, and probabl

I read all these posts on Rust and it makes me wonder if I'm being stupid spending time on C++? I want a language that I can focus on for the foreseeable part of my career. I'm looking for stability and am interested in domains li

Yes! This stems from another HN thread where I found out COBOL 2014 is fully OO with features like recursion. Hence asking about modern COBOL, as opposed to legacy 40 year old code.

Why would you want to develop in a terminal with no IDE? The only other people I've seen do this were long-term Haskell developers (I remember seeing someone fixing a bug with sed!)

by exdsq 5y ago
Looking at the Wikipedia page for Cobol 2002 and 2014, the last two major releases, it looks like they've gained features such as Object Oriented Programming, Recursion, data types like Booleans, pointers, and user-defined functions. S

Literally around 2 cents if you use the Polygon network. Layer 2 solutions would be perfect for this because A. you can bundle ticket sales and B. you don't need tickets to sell immediately, it's okay to wait a couple minutes.

This is the whole point of Web3. The idea that these centralized services can be replaced by peer-to-peer transactions over open source software and the digitization of assets like gig tickets as NFTs.
