How is cash helping with this? Should we start storing the notes under our mattresses or? Sorry I’m not sure I understand your point.

Germans have a certain paranoia. I understand where it comes from but how are you ever going to move on if you hold these beliefs so tightly?

Maybe not just designing the interfaces but their boundaries?

> I think we need a fully open source alternative to RHEL not bound to any company

I believe the problem is not that there wouldn’t be open source alternatives but that that’s not what enterprise wants. Enterprise wants a company behind the distribution.

This is something any crypto-bro would have told you in 2017.

Well, that “not so great language” is very much an opinion.

> Golang until recently

But some of the most powerful cloud tooling out there was and is written in Go, and not just recently.

I think Go is a perfect example of the simplicity that can make some very complex software happen.

That’s the problem: the problems Bitcoin is solving aren’t problems in the first place.

What if some problems simply are complex? How do you reduce the number of blocks then?

New comment by tosihakkeri in "A simple but deep theory about drugs and postmodernity"

tosihakkeri — Sat, 04 Jun 2022 06:10:33 +0000

Is it just me but I can't take this very seriously when the author talks with such a broad terms as "drugs" and "getting high". I really don't see much value of labeling all the mind altering substances as "drugs" or every occasion and motivation of consuming them as just "getting high".

It's like the author is at the same time high but had never used or seen anyone using drugs.

Certainly interesting but I fail to understand what's the big benefit? Also I would be afraid to have some corner cases that would need to be covered with JS, and that could get really ugly.

I think requirements have generally shifted quite bit from what plain html can do, if that's what you mean with "hypermedia". Though true, there's probably a growing understanding that one doesn't need React on every website. So maybe it'll rather be more refined understanding of when to use certain technologies.

Honestly I don't think one really needs such. Nowadays Linux distros are very similar, only thing I could imagine would be a translator for package managers.

That's just not true. Try a ThinkPad with Fedora and you'll see.

Based on what you just wrote, it sounds to me that you might be assuming the wrong abstraction yourself.
