All this winamp talk! This makes me nostalgic of hours of 15 year old me downloading every skin to find the "best one", and listening to the Fragile by NIN. Boomy late 90s pre-9/11 days when everything seemed so solid and successful.

New comment by CharlesDodgson in "Ask HN: What non-obvious tech/market may take off in the next few years?"

CharlesDodgson — Sat, 22 Aug 2020 13:22:00 +0000

In the crypto world there is a lot of hype around DeFi (decentralised finance) like everything in crypto it a mix of good technical ideas, lots of marketing bd, and a host of obnoxious bros. At the heart of it though there are really interesting things around liquidity.

I will be boring now and say that Cloud services will continue to expand, it's effectively a tax on doing work on the internet and start-ups love using cloud, the idea of maintaining your own servers is considered silly unless their is some particular reason to. I expect to see growth of 20% yoy in that sector for the top 3 players. Azure, GCP and AWS.

Looks lovely, I can see real use for this in my work, postgres and the availabilty of postgis extension is really useful for mapping data and spatially realted queries.

only if you want to, if not just lie and say you got your degree back then. Realistically it is just a perceptions thing. Maybe look at doing something very specific in your field. Most masters are paid for and won't really look at your undergrad if you are paying.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is one of my all time favourite books, it is as meaningful with words as the best works of Chekhov and shows the power of the human spirit.
