I suffered severe burnout. Then medical episodes from the stress, during my extended leave (4 months). I quit while on leave and never stepped back into the office. You need to be real with yourself. Is my job killing me? If your job is the

I wonder how much energy YouTube or Facebook use compared to Bitcoin? We could argue that Facebook and YouTube are only providing entertainment value. They don't do anything especially novel or provide critical infrastructure. Rockets

So cash, wire/bank transfers, paypal have never been used for fraud? I have news for you. Financial fraud existed even before the concept of what we know of modern money. I would be confident to assert that pretty much all financial in

HN hates cryptocurrency. And yet, all the comments on this thread are about banks/paypal freezing funds or transactions. Decentralised digital money does have value and a use case. It's interesting that most here don't see th

I was a customer for 16 years until they decided I couldn't use their services anymore. I had to fill out a bunch of forms and provide a lot of info to a financial services company who'd had a massive breach. I no longer use PayPa

Victorian Government gave him exemption. And prior to Novak arriving, the PM said it was "up to the states". Then he changed his mind within 24hrs.

As an Australian I am ashamed of our government's actions. Purely political theater to appease their domestic base. But it has backfired royally on them. I hope the polls reflect this.

Never, I like rolling releases.

Why not test with a stub? Issue would have been picked up in testing even without Stripe integration.

And what kind of testing was done prior to Prod deployment?

I got my position 2 months ago. I went through 4 interview stages. I was external to the org before I was hired. So yes I would pass an interview, because I did.

I always look for a very fundamental way of doing x. But SO questions and replies almost always are about a very very specific use case. It takes a lot of careful searching to find the one line of code I needed for my use case.

Yes yes yes, swanky new website. But does it whip the Llama's ass?

On 25mbps internet connection, not possible. Maybe in 10-15 years I can meaningfully participate in the metaverse, providing local infrastructure catches up, or satellite internet like Starlink becomes available

Perfect illustration of stereotypical HN reaction to thing . Focus obsessively on small details and that dominates the conversation. Nice.

Where there is software, there are bugs. It's not defeatist, it's reality. You can test, but testing does not prove an absence of bugs. It just means your tests did not reveal any. Maybe your testing is flawed, incomplete, inappro

Mitigation against security vulnerabilities? Bug fixes? New features? This question is intentionally missing the point. If you think an internet-connected computer used for modern workloads can be treated like a lawn mower and doesn't
