Agreed. It wouldn't be very hard to find a query on a tuned MySQL box that outperforms Postgres on an untuned system. Postgres's base configuration has always been on the conservative side of tuning.

The $500k theft isn't a vulnerability with Bitcoin. If you stick half a million in your mattress and your house burns down, who's to blame for that? The price on the exchange has always been volatile with a small amount of volume. So, basic

Thanks everyone, the personal anecdotes are the fuel I need to keep me motivated. It's tough when you see lots of big news about developers at startups doing amazing things and you just think 'well, I didn't do x,y,z perfectly, so I'm not e

I can't bring myself to take this person seriously. As someone who grew up in a real small town, hearing some guy worry about having to make sacrifices in a small city of 100,000 people just seems so silly. Things like "There might not be a
