Plenty of user facing apps do need strong consistency. We use Cassandra at Ripple, for API access to the XRP ledger, and strong consistency is a requirement. Records refer to other records, and not being able to reason about when things are

I mean this is just evolutionary biology. If you're a defenseless woman in the African Savanna, do you go for the skinny, short man who's nice, or the tall, muscular man who will protect you and your children? Hard to rewire milli

Hacker news is just not that pro west. I actually find it quite refreshing.

Yeah I mean I totally agree that live coding in an interview is some contrived thing that doesn't reflect the actual value that you would bring. No one builds anything great in 45 minutes. It's like the industry doesn't know

Practicing a ton can reduce anxiety, since you'll have confidence that you can most likely solve the problem. Plus, if you practice enough, you'll see so many problems that you might get the exact same problems in the interview. I

I am not spending Christmas alone, but sometimes I wish I was. The holidays are the toughest time of year for me, because they bring up bad memories from my childhood, and the darkness of winter amplifies it and makes me feel dead inside. E

Hey I have bipolar and borderline too! But I just want to say, life isn't about achieving things; it's just about being happy. And a little secret: achieving things doesn't actually make you happy. Maybe temporarily, but anyo

That's quite a pessimistic outlook. You can find inner peace even though you're being harassed.

Gym memberships are notorious with this. I always wondered how it was even legal. I cancelled my debit card and they sent me to collections.

You should 100% talk to the original author before rewriting though. Not doing so communicates that you think you know better than them, so much better than them that you don't even need to talk to them to understand why they wrote it

They are fiat on and off ramps, they hold crypto for you, and they allow you to exchange different cryptocurrencies.

The article said mildly depressed people could have a more accurate view of reality, not majorly depressed people. Quite different. A mildly depressed person doesn't have a completely warped view of reality like a majorly depressed per

Actual paper cash is more anonymous than most crypto, including Bitcoin.

How would a government seize Bitcoin? Stealing Bitcoin is not the same as seizing.

Do you really think you can't just find a new job and quit? (In that order).

by treebot 5y ago
If you really hate your job, quit and find a different one. If you hate the tasks, asks for different tasks. I know this might not be an option though. So some things that help me to do tasks that I hate doing is to break things up. Set a s

I don't think the climate problem can be solved without some form of authoritarianism. For most people, climate change does not affect their everyday lives. It primarily affects future generations, and non-humans. Caring about future g

Tangentially related, I think political advertising actually does work. Not just ads ran by candidates, but all the different memes and infographics and whatnot. At least in America. Most Americans are sort of middle of the road, but in rec

I don't think it matters if $75k is middle class or not. It's definitely not ultra rich, as was the other example person in the original comment, so the argument still applies. Middle class is kind of an arbitrary term though. I t

If it were imposed by a democratically elected government, would it still be a problem?

The lack of charge back is really a small issue. I don't think it applies here. Crypto does solve this problem. Even if there's the lack of charge back, it still overcomes the censorship problem, which traditional systems do not.

The strange thing is these problems are already solved through cryptocurrency and decentralized social media. We just need more adoption of decentralized platforms. To me, as I hear about these centralization problems more and more, it seem

We are mostly there. Environmental impact is mitigated by newer proof of stake tokens. Cardano, Solano, Polkadot. Also, Ethereum is moving to proof of stake eventually as well. Slow confirmation times are also solved by these same coins. Ev

I also just want to say, as a full time remote worker, I need Slack on my personal phone. Remote work allows you to work anytime and thus break out of the 9-5. But to properly do that and still be a member of a team, I need to be reachable

What about just nationalizing the entire energy industry and everything related, instead of trying to work within the parameters of a free market for something with so many externalities?
