Old man yells at cloud vibes every time a crypto post comes on HN.

No interesting discussions ever. Just axes being sharpened and people who dislike it taking the opportunity to gloat. I would characterize the pro crypto people but I don’t see any. Which is said because over the last 5 years I have found crypto, bitcoin, and stable coins to be extremely useful when helping family members in emerging markets.

But hey it’s all trash, the west doesn’t need it so let’s all dance on its grave.. i guess we will keep dancing for another 15 years.

I don’t know anyone working in crypto who complains about the physical world being too complex. Imaginary dragons are easily slayed.

It is on eth and they can use decentralized exchanges.

As usual when the MBAs get involved the build price magically becomes 10x what the actual cost is.

Likely take a break from social media and talk with some real people. Lots of people voted for trump aren’t radical actually none that i know are. I come from a small town in a red state and yes they completely disagree with democrats on pretty much everything but the stuff you read on reddit is so far fetched and extreme I don’t know how anyone would take it seriously.

They believe people hate Americans and everyone should be ashamed traveling overseas. As someone who travels all the time to multiple continents not just Europe i have never encountered anyone who asked or even cared. Most people don’t live in a political bubble where they need to stop being friends with people over politics.

Anyway a lot people are choosing to live in an angry little bubble. It is really sad to see.

I would think that we would be seeing a lit more issues if we had that much plastic just in our brain. But maybe our body doesn’t mind all that much. I guess we will see how things play out in another 30 years though.

Hahahahaha. Unless we have a major change in direction we aren’t getting crap.

It is not. At most you get 8 months of the year. The rest even if the weather is sunny you are looking at strong wind or unpredictable storms that pop up. We just had golf ball sized hail at the end of may.

I fully support this and have always pushed for this. One because it becomes a huge mess to maintain over time but also because it long term will lower traffic through the LB.

Unfortunately what i see happen all the time is quick fixes are pushed to the infra. For example they deploy and typo the URL. Now we have a prod outage and infra is pulled in to fix this asap. No time to wait for that 10 minute deploy pipeline that requires all the tests to run and a deploy to dev.

This happens once and then infra is asked why we don’t already redirect all URLs. Management doesn’t care about security and they just lost money. Guess what you are doing now. This is the world we live in.

I think this is part of the issue. I really dont want to have the discussion because im sick of trying to understand how everyone is mad about everything. At a certain point it’s mentally draining for me just so people can feel morally superior because they are more PC than you.

Im done with it and a lot of others are also.

I’m still looking for the single person who was offended by the use of master as the default git branch name. I never found them but everyone got to pretend like they were making a difference for a little bit.

These statements are the exact same thing to me.

Its fairly easy to get setup and after done correctly pretty low maintenance. But i have done it a few times at this point.

I know the perception is that the police don’t care anymore. Bo surprise these are diverging and that no one trusts anything put out by the government anymore anyway

I don’t think you read what they wrote. They aren’t talking about selling anything

I agree it should be broken down better or they are falling into the same simple thinking that most commenters online have.

It is annoying is you want to run your teat inside a container for ci and now you are running a container in a container and all the issues that come with it.

Can you explain “GPS maps offset from reality” or what would i have to look up to learn more?

I see for china some into about random offsets but couldn’t find anything else.

In my 15 years i would say less than 1% of bug reports are like this. If you know the bug to this level most people just would fix it themselves
