On the settings page it appears that the index is disabled by default and not included in the ordering either. It's a bit confusing here!

Uniswap V3 liquidity pools are managed as NFTs. Not your main point I know, but people often think of NFTs as simply buy and sell art on opensea. A liquidity pool has clear value.

New comment by tazard in "Ask HN: How do you keep going without burning out?"

tazard — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 07:36:01 +0000

All due respect, this isn't burn out. This is boredom or being uninspired. It can be a drudge, uninteresting, and procrastinated, but actual burnout is a very different beast.

I have mortgage, wife, kids also and continue to plug along, but know the difference.

1. Isolation

With a well built monolith, a failure on a service won't fail the whole system.

For poorly built microservices, a failure on a service absolutely does being down the whole system.

Not sure I am convinced that by adopting microservices, your code automatically gets better isolation

New comment by tazard in "Reddark: Website to watch subreddits going dark"

I didn't realize Reddit API development was "forced".

Whether they enjoy it or not is beside the point.

Moderators are providing value to Reddit. If all mods quit, and no one stepped up to take their place, what would happen? Now who deserves to take profit monetarily for that value?

As far as Reddit "development" they should have stopped a long time ago, the site is horrible to use and has been for a long time.

Less content is fine when the issue is too much junk content. Content would then be created by enthusiasts instead of businesses

Amazon is giving me prices of $25-$35 for all the esp32, including the hitletgo you mentioned. Ali is $1.5-$2. Amazon also says 2+weeks deliver for many, Ali says 3 weeks. I'm in Canada

I absolutely do not believe this. They are trying to maximize shareholder value, not maintain the status quo

I think they meant if they don't like the direction that the Android client takes, i.e. they stop allowing you to change the backend url for example in which case, yes you would need to fork or rewrite it

Why would they claim breach and source code stolen instead of simply and silently hanging over vaults then?

If robot0 name is AAA and uid Is BBB, and robot 1 name is BBB and uid AAA, and you call the function checkRobot('AAA'), what sort of assert exactly could differentiate between a name and a uid?
