Honestly do we really need cryptocurrency? I don’t want my transactions public. I like exchanging cash for weed (legal in California) and nobody needs to know regardless. I also don’t understand what’s wrong with USD. I grew up in a third w

We have shit standups on my team. People show up 5 minutes late to standup so we don't actually start for like 5-10 min past start time. I get it, not all are morning people. Please mute your mic, I really don't want to hear you y

I'd much rather have quarterly check-ins or some semi-annual company event to attend. Even if I go back to the office, my entire team is geographically distributed. Only a couple people on my team would be in the office, while others a

I was being cheeky considering big corporations always find a way to dodge taxes.

I'm no expert but let's say this happens- they'll just incorporate in Space, Moon, or Mars.

I feel bad typing this because it’s just anecdotal but I do think the people just ten years younger than me seem far incapable of figuring really simple things out on their own. There’s no problem with asking questions but at least have som

? Are you making such a service?

by swman 5y ago
So what is a good practice for this kind of thing? I’ve got an app where users create a display name. Is there a legit service I can use or some actual well tested library that can help me? I’m using node and Go so either languages.

It makes total sense to me. There’s no way to really know the next person signing up is really you (even if it’s 99% unlikely it isn’t). The safest option is to create a brand new account with a different email. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s h

Or at least offer an option. I don't think it is that difficult these days, especially with so many open source style sheets and integrations that handle this.

Did you just call your close friend a moron? Or was it directed at someone else? That’s kind of mean if it’s your close friend lol

It'd be cool if there was a service that took old clothing, stripped them all down to the threads or whatever (idk anything about fashion - I wear the free t shirts I get at conferences lol), and make really cool clothing from that. Wh

Or we could just you know, invest into this since all of us will be old some day and some of us may, even after a life time of contribution, could face unlucky circumstances that leave us alone in the end? What's wrong with dignity for

It’s hated by people who have either never bothered with it and are on the JS hate train, or it’s hated by people who had to deal with poorly executed code. If you know the use case fits, then it’s great and will help you scale fast at mini

My experience has been that people just move slow af ever since the lockdowns and remote only. Like I get it we all have differing amounts of equity and “ceos are evil” is common amongst some of the boot camp devs. However, that’s not an ex

5bedroom, 3bathroom, powered by four electric motors, can generate enough electricity through solar to power appliances, 150 mile range. I don’t think I want to live in that future.

I think JS is a versatile and good enough language for many tasks. I use node for my backend services since there are sdk for everything now and why spend a few days of effort when it can be done in minutes? And the effort spent in a few mi

This is so cool! I do something quite similar, so I'll memorize certain references like where in a book/movie/source something is, and what it is. Then, sometimes years later, I might be working on a problem or discussing som

Or just have the flat developer fee cover it unless your app hits like 100k plus download or something.

I like Mac OS and apple products ecosystem. For me, those things plus the nice premium build quality are key and worth the extra costs. I don’t use windows and not really a fan of spending like 24 hours a year just dealing with Linux driver

Is this like California making it okay to steal stuff up to a certain amount and then claiming theft is down? Lol

Ugh my team at work is obsessed with DDD for a service with two endpoints. Absolutely overkill and the levels of OO abstraction are terrible. If this were more complicated I’d understand, maybe I’m wrong in general. But writing a small Node

I managed to somehow type on the software keyboard without looking at it with a 95% or so accuracy. However I find that I’m only able to do so on my iPhone SE which is small size.

I think it’s cool but I’d rather have functioning governments and less people who want society to collapse. I know it must suck if you’re not in a developed western country (coming from a 3rd world I know) but now that I’m in America it’s a
