It's really only as bad as you make it though. Sure, don't grossly over/underestimate but I would imagine that a lot of their contractors work in half day increments at least, which makes it a lot easier to track. A friend of

What you are describing is basically how any fiat currency is used, so it's definitely possible to live in bitcoin land. The issue is that price fluctuation for bitcoin is so extreme, not that you can buy other currencies with it. If o

In some other thread someone who regularly attended meetups hosted by Uber in NY said this (paraphrasing): "You could rely on Uber coming up with the most complicated solution to problems they create for themselves. But the food was go

There is none and after having used Elixir for a year going back to Python for anything non-trivial input/output parsing feels really cumbersome now. Other comments have mentioned that functional idioms make code harder to read for dev

Am I the only one who initially thought the whole set up was very small? I.e. it prints A6 pages and the dumpster is a box. But then a guy ran into the frame because the paper got stuck and I realised it's actually a full sized dumpste

We use GraphQL heavily to power web apps and chrome extensions. To me the biggest benefit, as others have mentioned in this thread, is the strong contract it provides between FE and BE. We have a mix of CRUDy queries and queries tailored sp

Unless you are interested in learning ruby or have some specific gripes with how django does things (it is very opinionated) I would say no.

If it is not a car I suppose you will have to wear a helmet inside ;) Not sure if I would want to drive this in Australia though. Coming from Europe the size of your roads here is crazy. Lots of 2-3 lane inner city roads with a speedlimit o

Totally agree. While living in Berlin I used to rent Coup (now defunct) e-scooters quite a bit. They would go up to 48-50km/h. Considering that most cars drive just a hair over 50 it was right in the annoying spot you described.

AFAIK the main benefit would be lower gravity for launching rockets and easier access (again because of gravity) to mining resources in space. Broadly related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_resource_utilization
