If that's really true, then perhaps. But those people would probably argue that these two conditions are mutually exclusive. Again, can't say I totally disagree. If only there was another way... We can't fix it now, but if we

There are people who argue that anyone who wants to die is not mentally well enough to decide to die. Can't say I totally disagree...

I think we agree, my point was that you are not talking about high school (15-19 year old children where I live). But now I see that their reply could also mean that the people are highschoolers at the time they are applying. I understood i

On the other hand, it's a way to get inside without being evaluated too harshly because they might lose money on you. I know people who started from nothing, couldn't pay the scholarships and were self taught, and the unpaid inter

They probably meant universities (bachelor or masters program), but yeah I agree with you. People place way too much faith in institutions and take it as universal endorsement of ability, meanwhile many competent people are "misfits&qu

Yes, you can't criticize that somebody made a big library - you have no idea why, how and under what circumstances it was made. Even if the only reason is that the author doesn't find it fun to maintain a bunch of libraries, that&

What about the dev who is making the library for their own purposes, they don't matter? Be thankful for the opportunity to use their work for free; you can do your own thing if you don't like theirs.

So around 5-10 software engineers (compensation in finance seems mostly similar to SW), not including any other costs like office, etc? That's not a lot of money.

That's why we use Semver, at least in the Node land. A security fix should be a patch, at most minor version bump - API/behavior shouldn't change.

> Using a library for every little function, or worse, adding a huge library for a couple of function calls make my hairs go up. Well that's where modern bundler steps in - who cares if you throw the unnecessary cruft away during bu

Yeah, sure, I agree. But the blockchain technology itself is still sound - its about the users who accepted this change and the social capital of the organization that pushed it.

This is more about the company than the owner, though. Incorporate elsewhere and problem solved - that's what we did at the next startup I worked for. There are many English speaking countries where company incorporation is easy and ch

Nigeria doesn't have local banks or companies that offer payment gateways? My country didn't have Stripe support for a long time but that didn't stop us in any way from participating in the internet economy.

Business opportunities in energy, mining and manufacturing sector, extremely cheap land and it's basically third world - some people like that and for some it means additional business opportunities. Employees can't do the tax opt

You're EU citizen so you have free entry to Switzerland. I'd seriously explore that. Another option could be Poland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria.

You're talking about an opinion of a bunch of early hackers as if it was a common world view of everyone in the crypto/blockchain space. It's not (sadly, IMHO). There are many who are exploring merging government regulation a

I still use the same tools I used when I started with React 10 years ago. You don't need to get on the treadmill, you chose that.

There are languages that have fully codified grammar which completely covers everything people actually use (and more). But we spend 10 years learning the grammar itself 1-2 hours every day at school (then you have literature etc on top of

I took the exact opposite conclusion from this information. How is it useful for stalking if it doesn't give more exact location? On the other hand if I'm looking for my own car that somebody took out of the city, this at least gi

Parties like AfD still have their place on national TV and regional news, just as Orban does. I don't agree with them but I don't think they should necessarily be banned from Twitter if they still have the right to be on TV and r

What they are experiencing is terrible but still doesn't compare to actual censorship. I'm sure they still appreciate that the state didn't put them in prison and ban their children from education and employment except the ha

No, the chilling effect is very different. One is a tragedy that needs to be brought to justice, the second one is never going to get any semblance of justice from its very principle.
