   Yes, but I think the person he/she was replying to is right, the biggest problem is inheritance.

   One benefit is discoverability. I coded a ton of Ruby/rails back in the day and it was nice to be able to jump into a repl and see what methods were on an object. Also, you could often find the source of the method through the repl. I

   I’ve been an Apple fan for a very long time, but I bought my first windows laptop ever this past year because of the direction Apple has been going with things like this. I really wish the alternatives to iPhones, Apple watches, and tvOS we

   Yes, because it’s an exploitative tax that only exists because of their monopoly on the App Store that houses nearly everyone with disposable income.

   If you’re suggesting that we need garbage that exploits people to have things like eBay … well, let’s just say I don’t agree.

   It really isn’t more complicated. People were told beanie babies were investments that would make them money. They were fed stories about people who made a lot of money from beanie babies. They got fomo and bought in, then it inevitably dro

   > The question I want you and all people who say "crypto is a fraud, ponzi scheme, has no value" to ask yourself is "If I'm right, why is there such demand to buy crypto?". There are a few reasons, but the main o

    But it has to be on-chain so you can invest in the coin of your favorite decentralized pizza.

    There’s a difference between personally wanting it, and mass appeal with a prediction of mass adoption.

    Thanks for the great convo, really enjoyed it. I have been on a project with good devs, wrote a large scale web crawler in clojure for a famous research lab. These days I’m responsible for hiring/training/retaining hundreds of dev

    My experience has been the opposite. If I jump into a random Go code base, it’s been easier to figure out what’s going on than with languages that provide a lot more abstraction power. The reason, IMO, is that a bad abstraction is worse tha

    Or maybe you didn’t communicate your point effectively. My point holds for non crypto decentralization as well. Consumers choose against, no matter how much tech people like us want it.

    People want things to be cheap and convenient. Convincing yourself otherwise is a mistake.

    This isn't what users want in general, and you don't need crypto to get it. What you're asking for exists with things like mastodon. No one advocating how/why they think crypto will succeed when things like mastodon fail

    Thanks, this was a fun experiment. I was curious to see what language you used. I've done a bit of scala many years ago, and I have to say that I HATED other peoples weird and often over complex scala code. I think this is the main dif

    I think the requirement is a bit vague. I'm assuming an HTTP call, and that the rate limit exists on the server. Given this, there are two different error conditions: 1) the request makes it to the server, is counted against the server

    Nothing can promise constant performance at infinite volume. 10,000 transactions are a tiny number for most modern and popular products these days.

    5 seconds is a long time, especially when a normal modern tech stack can do the same things in milliseconds. I'd also love a reference showing that any of these chains can handle 100k requests per second with a latency of a few seconds

    It’s a very limited database that is very slow and scales poorly.

    That's based on the 1.0 release. Many of us were using rails before 1.0, which is not quite 20 years, but it's close enough.

    I’m limiting it to 5 concurrent requests which is independent of the rate limit itself. The failing request will hold one of those 5 slots until all 3 failures are done, but won’t otherwise block anything.

    There are very basic things CA can do to improve things before your hypothetical. For example, we can filter and re-use water rather than letting it drain into the ocean. However, everyone a politician proposes this, their opponents brand i

    Here you go. Took me about 15 minutes to write, using < 50 lines of code, and not using any external libraries outside of the Go Project. The 15 minutes includes the time to create the server I used to test it. https://gist.gi
