My food expenses have doubled. My utilities have nearly tripled. It's a crime not to be looking for a new job right now, unless of course you're happy with what you're making.

Any kind of technical compliance by government is guaranteed to be old and obsolete in the near future. The reality of the situation is that this "design system" is a waste of time and it will never iterate as fast as other system

What a bizarre statement. We know that supply and demand drive modern economies. It's taught everywhere in schools. It's what we rely on along with key economic metrics to have an idea where things are headed. It's an odd fle

Fiat money is absolutely printed out of thin air and it isn't backed by any asset. It is backed by the stability of the government that issues it. There is no amount of gold that can back a monetary system to sustain the levels of spen

It's just a domino effect. Demand for good has decreased significantly during COVID as businesses had to scale back. Inevitably suppliers had to shutdown or cut production. FED started printing money in the meantime and giving consumer

Not sure yet if this is shaping up to be another round of wild 90s or Stalinist times in Russia. It's kind of looking like a bizarre mix of both with political incarcerations back in play and government shutting down press. To piss awa

The reason Russia has elevated tyrants to power for centuries is deep-rooted in Russian soul to the point where it's not even a problem. It's something that is inexplicably difficult to understand unless you actually experience th

My only question is why does a furniture rental site interview candidates like they're trying to change the world. Dear lord, you're making a CRUD app. Get over yourself.

Russia never ceases to amaze me even after spending half of my life living there. Its massive territory extends over 8 times zones stretching over 2 continents and it has historically been incapable of governing most of it. Everything outsi

I love the feature set. Great work! Hard to believe this is the first major release. Are you guys planning to add C# client support?

Misinformation is really a side-effect of mass manipulation of truth by authority. Yet most of the safe-guards for misinformation in social media have been built to police the wrong group of people.

This is interesting. I have seen similar videos of Tesla self-driving successfully on similar type of streets in Seattle. I wonder if the quality of FSD changes from city to city based on how much data Tesla receives from other drives in th

If we want to talk about proper use of terminology, the word "hacker" was adopted by web 2.0 startup scene and became a bullshit buzzword. The original definition has nothing to do with entrepreneurship or malicious intent (as adv

On one hand i think finding a job with better compensation is the best thing to do right now considering that the rate of inflation has pretty much eclipsed a typical raise, so the best thing to do is look for 15-20% increase in pay. At the

Well, ultimately it's about the advice here. If someone asks you how to achieve financial independence and you tell them to just make half a mil working at FAANG, your advice is going to get filed under the "no shit" folder.

DynamoDB streams are pretty awesome and my company uses it for all kinds of neat aggregation scenarios. The one major thing to consider with streams is data loss and how it can impact your use case. Any non-intermittent issues in the lambda

There aren't a lot of projects that surpass Visa's TPS speed of 1700. The one legitimate contender that I can think of is Solana with TPS of ~50K transactions. The problem, however, is that it's still fairly centralized.
