I call this the tragedy of software development. Well written, minimal, roubust systems are not appreciated or welcomed. Heck, most of the times people don't know they exist. In our industry the heroes are the firefighters and the fire

It's basically slavery. Lose your freedom and be forced to work for basically free. A lot of "businesses" would straight up collapse without this free labor

I don't have the number and I don't know how many people do so on a whim. Certain measures are working in certain situations (if there is physical barrier sure). My bigger point was that nobody decides to kill themselves for fun a

Honest question: how many people do you believe end their life like this because of the recommendation vs actually researching it before and they atr just buying the stuff? If it's because of the reco: how do we ensure that we ban all

by x86x87 4y ago
So let's be real for one sec. As an adult you will find a way to kill youself if this is the goal. We are hypothesing that people don't want to actually do it and that we are doing the a service from preventing it. This could be t

The way I imagine this working is: you buy X,Y and Z. If enough people buy these together (along with other things) the algo will deduce that if you buy X you also probably want Y and Z. It will recommend them. This is not new and there are

It's easier to blame a corporation. People also need closure and an explanation that does not place the blame on them. Parents are absolutely to blame here, our educational system is tito blame here. Our values and society in general h

Why is it legal to buy a gun but illegal to decide to end your own life? The hypocrisy is through the roof. How are we free if we are forced to live? Btw: we should not encourage suicide. I think we need to help people that are in a positio

My objection was to the claim that the "current financial system is obviously working". It's not obviously working and in fact it is inflicting a lot of pain. The rest was a rant.

I can give you crypto and you can take crypto without any intermediary telling us we're not allowed to transact.

by x86x87 4y ago
That was the point. You should not treat humans like you treat machines but this happens all the time.

by x86x87 4y ago
It's obviously working if you say so. No point in questioning it. We have all the ingredinents for a post-scarcity world but you still have people starving, no access to clean water, no healthcare, heck a large amount of people are exp

I hate to break it to you but most dollars are already digital. Also, the problem with the dollar is noy the dollar itself but how it is managed. Most people don't get this but money is literally made up, printed out of thin air. Irres

Classic. Tulips! Now we need to bring in how mucj energy we spend mining bitcoin and we're done. People confidently will tell you all the reasons why crypto is bad but will not for a second stop to question how out current finacial sy

That's a blanket statememt if I've ever seen any. So if you like crypto you must not be very smart or honest. /s Crypto has its uses. Blockchain tech is here to stay.

I believe that you are taking it a little bit too literaly. What is observability? You can tell what is going on inside the system at any point in time. Metrics and logs are the bare minimum you need to observe the system at certain points

by x86x87 4y ago
My favorite topics from CT are controllability and observability. I apply the concept to every piece of software I build and I am surprised how little thought goes into this (if any) in general when it comes to software engineering.

you can disagree with that and you can want whatever. Let's just hope that the morality police that you want to instate does not disagree with you and bans you out of existence.

Everyone believes that's an edge case/oddity until they or a business they care about gets banned by the payment processor gods.

When you say stuff like real, non-illegal you close the door to conversation. With crypto you can exchange money with anyone in the world without an intermediary. Visa/Mastercard cannot ban you. This in itself is huge (most people thin
