"Bitcoin began as a cryptocurrency. It has ended as a cryptoasset" And Slack was originally meant to be an RPG. Point is, this is not a bad thing. As long as Bitcoin and crypto is useful, people will build on it and evolve it, and

I was on the fence about this, but reading the comments convinced me it was the absolute right decision. The fact that all these institutions just allowed this horrible hateful speech for four years, in the name of free speech etc, despite

yes, because they didn't literally overrun the seat of power and threaten to topple the government. Seditious is spot on.

Why ... so you can be labelled a malcontent, non-team player, denied promotions and eventually managed out of the org at first opportunity? :)

Something similar to this actually happened to Neil Degrasse Tyson too ... the University of Texas basically failed him out of his PHd, he went to Columbia, got his Phd and the rest is history https://alcalde.texasexes.org/2

What do folks think about implementing a web crawler that you can send to a website and it indexes every internal url on the site. I remember sitting down to write one 100 years ago now, and finding it to be much trickier than I thought it

This x10000%. I've been telling my friends this for years that I'm angry at trump but I'm genuinely afraid for the next more refined iteration of him. Hopefully this four years will encourage us not to put our guards down ag

I feel that this is also a strong prerequisite for companies that do well at remote work and those who don't. If you have a leader who is a clear and strong communicator via their writing, it turns out that clear and strong writing bec

I'd like to chip in with a slightly different take ... as a minority engineer, one of my greatest sources of frustration and disillusionment is how an occupation that is ostensibly lends itself to much clearer and objective outcomes an

I think its just you. Lots of people use Heroku, I have like 4-5 apps deployed on it, and I know quite a few smaller companies that were completely on it last I checked.

> Have found this to be the trend in general or the trend for supporters of certain parties/ideals only? oh in my experience, definitely one sided against trump and anyone who voted for him.

I've found it very odd how freely and openly siding with a political candidate has become the norm since 2016 at the tech firms I've worked in. Even more so, has been the viciousness of the pushback when I've asked for such d

Been saying this for a while now ... since the Georgia Reopening, I've been monitoring a lot of state data daily, lots of places that started seeing spikes 3-4 weeks ago haven't even had as much as a slight trend upwards in deaths

> The flu kills way more than that The flu kills a lot of people over a long time, this is 500k in just a few months while everyone is actively trying to avoid spreading it. The flu definitely does not kill more than that.

I'd argue that a virus that can kill 500,000 (probably way more) people in a matter of months is a pretty big threat, and thats with most world economies shut down and actively trying to contain it. Imagining the damage that it could d

Very underrated effect! I've found myself finding it harder to work on personal projects in my spare time too over the last few years (as I returned to remote work) and I couldn't understand why that was until I read this comment

Thats very difficult to understand when you're young and (largely) self-centered. It definitely has to be explained with a lot of patience and some creativity.

Was doing really well on a previous team with just one (usually) or two meetings a week, got assigned to a new team with a new meeting happy PM, and now I'm lucky if I have less than 3-4 meetings a week. It's driving me fucking in
