My mind instantly darts to the combination of piping + pattern matching. Edge cases can live as two line adjustments in ways I don't know how to do in any other language.

Elixir has been my daily driver for four years, I came from a brief stint in Ruby. It's true that most problems are largely manageable by most/all languages. What I've come to appreciate is how often Elixir has made me a bett

True... But the difference here is that you've prepared an asset that can only be sold in one place.

The parent was sharing the book as a wonderful read and that you shouldn't be concerned about the title. My counter point was that while I enjoyed the book's results, the read/process was the polar opposite of wonderful. I fe

Counter point: I read that book this year. It definitely contributed towards resolving some unresolved childhood trauma, and I'm grateful for it, but it was no walk in the park.

Thought it was a gag on mobile. All I could see was: Google, Stack overflow, and GitHub. (the list is longer once expanded ;))

I'm not sure how much flexibility you have, but have you taken a look at Prometheus (for time series data) + Grafana (for dashboards) I'm certainly not a DB expert, but this is where a similar need led me a few months ago.

That would not surprise me at all. I've experienced several third party charging cables that somehow stop working so reliably immediately after an iOS update. Apple definitely wants as much of the pie as they can get.

You took the high road and subtly left out the level of terror that should inspire. Kudos.

So the Washington Post doesn't let their sports journalists vote for things like NBA All-Stars/All-NBA under the guise of impartiality, but they're perfectly ok with headlines that so very clearly attack Alexa's competit

It is possible today, thankfully not necessary. By the time they're necessary, it'll be a lot less demanding, relatively speaking....

It's the usual combination. Block size as much as makes sense, optimizations where possible, if lightning works (it won't) - use it. Gavin Andresen has published about his latest work 'Graphene' which shrinks block sizes

GB blocks are basically ready with today's hardware though the need is years out. It won't be long before TB blocks can say the same, testing is underway. Current prevailing theory in BCH land is the block size is an unnecessary

It's a collection of everybody who made Bitcoin great to begin with. Great community. I believe it's a bunch of doers and not talkers. Fees are less than a penny. System works great, like Bitcoin used to.

Any successful Lightning Network (at scale) would require a dramatic block size increase. The last (Lightning Network tech) I saw suggested it would need a 133MB blocksize. Blockstream struck down a modest increase to 2MB in November. The

Well, the circulation limit/deflationary part is pretty key to that. How many dollars/yen/what-have-you are printed every year leaving your existing dollars/yen/what-have-you with less buying power? Thinking the wo

My iPad recently quit being able to connect to the 5GHz channel. My Samsung S6 networking is also glitchy and often on cell service while at home. Timing aligns with me getting a Chromecast.

This is laughable. Technically BTC and BCH share a near identical codebase, save for the recent junk BCH had to remove. Larger BCH block size prevent transaction buildup that has caused the fees to go insane on the BTC side of the fence. Th

Bitcoin Cash has 8MB blocks today, 8x larger than Core. Core propaganda will decry this as lunacy since people won't be able to run nodes on raspberry pi's anymore. The sad reality is you can buy the hardware required for the cos

Much of BCH's value has been in removing Core's 'improvements' Preventing Segwit preserves a full chain of signatures on chain. Removing RBF (replace by fee) has preserved practical 0 confirmation times of a few seconds

It sounds like you're projecting. Bitcoin Core trolls and bots are a common problem on reddit. Adam Back (CEO of Blockstream) has admitted to hiring teams of people to control the narrative

That's because the people who fell in love with Bitcoin pre-2014 see the world-changing potential in the project again. Bitcoin Core has killed any practical use cases by refusing to scale and causing $50 fees. Bitcoin Cash works today

And Segwit did not move the needle at all. The BTC chain is SCREAMING for more transaction capacity and the Blockstream team is popping champaign (sic) that they've introduced a fee system 100 years ahead of schedule. Bitcoin Cash is s

In related news, Adam Back (CEO of Blockstream, current stewards of BTC) inadvertently admitted to hiring people to shape the narrative in social media.

They did, but adoption has been very limited. If you look at fees from the activation date (a few months ago now) it has not moved the needle at all.

Bitcoin Cash was born out of necessity to save Bitcoin from disaster when it was hijacked by corporate interests (funded by AXA/Mastercard). Both sides of the SegWit fork (SegWit1X vs. 2X) ~Nov. 16) are intentionally crippling transact

There are many factors. November stands to be the most eventful month in Bitcoin's history. Educate yourself on the moving parts before making any big decisions. The biggest factor for me is that the miners are pissed off that both S

I'm not sure I understand your sales tax suggestion. Wouldn't a sales tax increase punish the consumers losing their jobs? Doesn't the increase in taxation have to come from business revenues in some way as a means to offset

It was really interesting to hear about the potential of a troll brigade being dispatched against her during her trial. I'm not saying I buy it and have re-evaluated everything I've ever heard about her; but it raises an interesti
