I haven't used the more recent version of Angular so not sure what their "stack" is, but doesn't `create-react-app` take care of much of that?

This is a more modern Pynchon, but this paragraph from Inherent Vice (set in the very early days of computer adoption) made me laugh: > As usual these days, Fritz was back at the computer room, staring at data. He had that ask-me-if-I-gi

When he listed Gladwell as a source it immediately changed how I perceive the article. Perhaps I would eventually have come to take it as stretching the data to make questionable conclusions but the reference accelerated it.

I suspect a lot of people have this on their mind but the whole money-grab brouhaha made it bad manners to mention in civilized society. Better for those who are nevertheless on the bandwagon I guess. I do agree with you, though. I recently

As Vitalik and other people doing social-coordination research keep arguing - it's a matter of coordination and not of anybody being greedy. The feeling that your little donation means little is what keeps the whole swarm of users from

This is terrible, but let's not forget that this is actionable. Last presidential election Lawrence Lessig got onto Democratic ballot only to bring up the issue of influence of big money on the democratic process. Which is at the root

Yeah... So, where's the "wisdom"? And what's the take-away?

Perhaps that in theory it's more expensive to be poor?

Not me. I am trying to understand which developments the author of the parent comment is talking about.

I think the commenter is suggesting that sometimes the mobility of your store of wealth is more important than volatility. Hard to argue that gold is easy to move or store. People from the US and Western Europe are prone to forget how volat

Everybody probably has their own opinion on this but it doesn't seem like Libra is in competition with Bitcoin (since it doesn't seem like payments is what keeps BTC going), but legitimizes the idea of crypto-currencies in genera

What technical development are you speaking of? I thought the Bitcoin community didn't want any modifications to Bitcoin.

Interesting thought about decentralized solutions. No "napster of packages" out there?

AVID has information on their website but in your own words could you describe how it helped you? Very curious.

You mention scenes. Perhaps that is the key. I went through life without ever having to be in groups of people where any of this is warranted. Perhaps if you are involved in scenes with a high percentage of people with extreme social inapti

That is quiet an inference to make. You are just making an unsobstantiated ad hominem attack.

The idea that you should define a code of conduct first just sounds awful. The best small gatherings are organic and informal. This just (I'll use a word from somebody else in the thread) politicizes the whole thing. In other words, if

Yeah, I've heard that their architecture has really moved on. Good to know. Thanks for confirming!

I am completely out of the loop here. All I know is that I really disliked Wordpress and really-really disliked Drupal back in the day. Can you mention some of the better alternatives? Once in a while a PHP CMS is what I gotta deal with and

Hypocrisy is difficult to avoid in modern world. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to criticize things we are enmeshed in. Your argument is not invalid, but I thought I'd point out.

Ha. I was about to write an identical blog post. Must be zeitgeist.

The "Summary" section in the PDF gives a pretty concise and straight-forward overview.

I am no libertarian, but this feels thoroughly unfair on a human level. EtherDelta was a noble pursuit in my book - it was useful, entrepreneurial and did not exploit anybody.

I am somewhat embarrassed, but also relieved to admit that I switched from vim (nvim to be precise) to VSCode (OMG M$FT!) and am very happy about it. I still use vim bindings as much as I can, but I guess giving up a bit of ideology can ben
