Lol, yes, "distributed" means blockchain. Someone should cancel Torvalds for building git on a blockchain. Clearly a scam!

Interesting take. Feels cleaner to me, and while I want to argue about the opinionated payload bit, I suppose that's something that should be clearly defined in the contract anyway. Maybe I've been abusing status codes too...

I had the weirdest reaction to that last sentence. As an engineer, the first thing that went through my head was "lots of photos of their faces available, easy filter. My face specifically: hard filter" But as a person it was &quo

I've never had an issue with data race conditions in go. Can I ask what you did to lose faith? The answer, for me, is always channels. What you put around the channels is the challenging part. Channels are built to pass information bet

This opinion is just gross. Always do your required reading kids. - nobody uses semi colons, that's a huge red flag because the tooling will literally remove these symbols from your code, did you even run any go code? clearly not - gor

English Grammar is arbitrary and there is really no such thing as a "correct" form, only a formal one. Which is kind of elitist and disparaging imo. Ain't is my favorite example. It was considered proper English until the low

I need this to be expanded upon. Presumably you don't mean your own life or data, or that of your friends and family where you can find consent. So what's left is arguing for a right to remember strangers with high degree of accur

I think it's pretty pathetic some of you are focused on copilot (as if youve never ripped code off SO before). I'm willing to bet none of you have contributed anything to open source either. Dunning-Kruger effect on full display.

Very American opinion you have their. It does not hold up the world over though. Supermarkets are a bad example here because they are a critical link in the distribution economy. Google? Not so much

Phone numbers and email: the primary identifiers that were never meant to be used as such. No idea what a good alternative is though. Preferably something federated though

Coinbase is a representative of crypto as much as China is a representative of the USD. It exists only to exchange crypto for fiat. That means it _must_ be subject to regulation. Only yourself to blame if you thought otherwise. Inb4 anonymi

ITT: Critics ;) I think it's disingenuous to call crypto an investment. It would be nice to see some legislation tame the absolutely insane relationship between crypto and fiat. I like the idea of bitcoin, but until such time as it sto

I can't imagine there's much benefit to it or that the goal was to be better than the existing inter-session tools in Linux. But I built an ssh server in go once, which was a fun way to learn the deeper features and flows of the S

I'm not following. You will not find trust _in people_ anywhere in modern society. Banks certify transactions, governments certify identity. We can go on and on here. Whole swathes of law around this topic too lol (see: fraud). Crypto

The end goal is not the problem. It's ridiculous to suggest outlawing 50% of a state's living arrangement. Good solutions consider the current state, they don't skip past it entirely

The brexit comments I find interesting, but pretending the metric system is meaningless or without reason is just daft. It's called standards. And standards make life easier. Shockingly poor opinion on an IT forum where we get to exper

1) why would you not use a vpn or other gateway between confluence server and the internet? 2) presumably for the same reason they ran confluence as root: no idea what they're doing (forgivable) or lazy (unforgivable)

The title made me expect some argument about endlessly spinning up cloud resources, which I was ready to pull apart. Instead, I found an argument about not building v1 with unnecessary optimizations. Which I agree with but I didn't fin

I have cms content under a subdomain, but even if it was a path it would be fine, nginx is just a proxy. it doesn't care what your CMS is doing, as long as it responds

Proxies. It's always proxies :D My personal favorite pattern with HTTP is using nginx as the DNS endpoint for several hosts (root_domain, api.root_domain, tool.root_domain etc). Nginx will forward traffic based on the HTTP Host header
