FizzBuzz is an incredible filter for devs. Any kind of async JavaScript that needs to do something with the data after it fetches it has also been a winner. Lately the biggest weeding tool has been asking candidates to fetch some JSON from a bucket, then visualize that data. I'd say that maybe half the people manage to fetch the data in 30 minutes, and of that, maybe 10% get the data fetched within 10. The other 20 minutes is trying to help them recognize that their data is initially being rendered with "undefined" and they have to update the viz.

Or they come and tell you it’s last order, 30 minutes later they bring you the check, and say thank you for coming.

This is even if you’re paying continuously.

They do, it’s called the library.

This is one of the few things that cryptowallets have brought to the mainstream through things like Metamask. Signing for actions is one of actions Metamask brings forward in terms of usability. Shame that it has to be tied with with crypto or the crypto “web3” world.

It’s a non-zero cost to develop the game. I sympathize with your desire to build an mmorpg that will pass the test of time without relying on servers, but you will definitely need a lot of money to make this come true. Crypto or otherwise.

Block times are complete state updates. The transactions that rely on the state of another transaction in the chain are 100% optimistic, and will roll back all dependent transactions. Now, that’s fine if you’re willing to roll back say…3000ms of your game state. But that’s all client side stuff, and that code is 1000% exposed, and you can’t upgrade it in the normal fashion. You also need validators for chain transactions, and your game can just be forked at any time by validators, splitting the player base. Kind of cool, but kind of defeats the balance and minimum population required to keep a game running. Also…the validators still need to run. Recovering a forked chain can only happen is someone has the state somewhere and is willing to seed new validators.

Sometimes, things need to end for another thing to begin. Sometimes it’s just best to move on.

And having a lawyer or notary go over every line of the sale contract to ensure that you understand it. Real property comes with real responsibility, far beyond that of the financial realm.

Nodes rise because businesses that want to build on the chains require them unless they want to a pay far too much for a wrapper API. The number of wallets is literally unbounded, and it’s impossible to know precisely how many entities are attached to those wallets. I am one person. My tens of wallets are only for one person. I make a new wallet every time I try new wallet apps. I make new wallets to try new things. “Number of wallets” and “number of nodes” is a bad metric.

Employer of Record services have solved this for about $200 - $600/worker/month. Still significantly cheaper than paying a US worker.

> No issue unless you fix it back up when you move out.

You can be completely prohibited from "damaging" things, including painting, in many jurisdictions. You also may have to match whatever grade of paint the landlord used. Some will use very expensive paints, or totally inappropriate paints, knowing it will lead to large deposit forfeiture, or the ability to collect excessive monies from the tenant.

> There must be laws in Germany, because I don't remember living in an apartment where the windows weren't top notch. That's also very necessary with temperatures sometimes going below -10°C.

In many apartments, especially illegal suites, you might not even get a window. The heating is your problem if the windows suck, and while in some jurisdictions there might be necessary temperature ranges the landlord must maintain, that's only if it's a "utilities included" apartment. Your heating bill could bankrupt you.

> Like all appliances, furniture, anything, it's "bring your own" in Germany (unless you have a common laundry area... not super common I think).

Often not the case, and is often a "feature". Again, it targets poor people, who then have a lower quality of life, and higher revolving costs. It's expensive to be poor.

> Same as before, as long as you fix up the holes when you move out, not an issue.

As before, you may be flatly prohibited from doing any damage to a wall.

> Don't know about solar panels. Like windows, never lived in an apartment without proper insulation in Germany (in the US on the other hand...).

Canada would like to have a word regarding insulation. Same with Australia, Japan, the US, etc. You can't make structural changes to a rental, and that definitely includes solar panels. You can negotiate something with the landlord, but it doesn't stop them from evicting you after it's done. You'll need a lawyer.

> You can put in whatever floor you like as far as I know, and I've done so.

Nope. You might be able to negotiate it, but you'll need a lawyer.

When you rent, and you don't have a lot of money, it's fucking terrible. Low quality housing, low quality appliances, low quality life. It has higher revolving costs, and the absolute instability makes it untenable. Many of my family members bought and restored shitty in-bed campers as a safety net against eviction because it was constant and punishing.

This is advice for very high income, or already wealthy people.

Oh great! A shit coin to run infrastructure that doesn’t accept the shitcoin. Very sustainable.

You’re just inviting bad actors to work on “probably has a lot of crypto” to beat you silly with a wrench until you give it up. They’ll just go with less certainty.

Disagree because you’re already getting screwed by the rich. Being anonymous doesn’t divorce from the “getting screwed” class, but it continues to aid the rich.

Ah yes “forced to surveil the populace”. This is horsehockey. They already do it, they just don’t want to be told what to do by daddy government. It’s “resistance as a competitive advantage”, minus the real resistance.

Then rent control will allow the _most_ people who have the _shittier jobs_ to live closer to work. I don't think there is a real care here about anything other than "I want the power to do what I want", which translates pretty closely to "mah freedoms".

Capitalism is the corrupt bomb that keeps blowing up. Fiat money is just on of its many mediums with which is props itself up after it explodes.

Ah yes, the classic “you’re useless now grandma, the fuck on outta here” line. I bet you’re a real gem in the family.

A landlord is to housing what a scalper is to tickets (or for the nerds, graphics cards). Only one of them leaves you fucking homeless.

It doesn’t necessarily lack it, but it’s set up differently via one way payment channels.

The OSS dev literally wants to avail themselves of public infrastructure and money, while paying nothing back in. That's all this is.

All you did there was state the basic tenet of capitalist wage labour, except no taxes.

You can do this by following Ben Eater’s 8 bit computer build. Then use that to build and compile out everything. That’s as close to barewires as you can get.

It's orientalism and settler colonialism. A bunch of weebs jerking off about Japan.

One of the most common things I see among tech workers is that they think companies are “anti-union”, which is a total lie. They love unions, just not when workers make them. They call them “associations”, “councils”, “chambers of commerce”, etc. They serve on each other’s boards, they form cabals to limit employee pay, and they lobby the government to make it easier to get rid of you whenever they please.

Corporations and the rich love socialism. They need it. It’s socialism for them, brutal capitalism and rugged individualism for everyone else. The fools of tech listen to their words and ignore their actions.

That’s a lot of words just to say “Unions are bad, mm’kay”

It’s an effect of American imperialism and global hegemony. That’s why calling it American crap isn’t a misnomer.

There is zero class analysis in the article, which makes it unworthy of examination.

He’s used a Japanese concept with a well designed venn diagram. He must be very insightful though.

I agree with you, this isn’t a helpful or useful article.

China has a very democratic ideology, you just don’t see it from the outside.

That’s pretty sinophobic. What are you basing your determinations on? US led media?

Mate, you’ve invented the calendar. Like outlook, Gmail, etc. all have this functionality. It’s easy, has reminders, and doesn’t really need to to install something you’re not already using on your phone/a new website to go to

I wore away all of the rubber off the sides of my $28 G300 mouse before the button started to fail. Comfortable, cheap, amazing.

This entire thread is full of anti-DST madness, and since it’s HN, I can only assume you’re all from areas that don’t have a massive swing in the length of days. DST is amazing.
