> People will argue with an individual as if that individual is the spokesperson for a larger group. People will call someone a hypocrite not for contradicting themselves, but for contradicting other people.

This sums up what's become so exhausting about online discussion

Locked up, locked in!

On a serious note, I think inmates should have 24/7 laptop computer access with (at least) limited sessions of internet connectivity.

This page is a great example of why FCP perf is important. It took a scenery long for any content to appear, and I bounced off the page pretty quickly a few times thinking it was down.

I can’t be the only one

Ah, so you can bullshit a bullshitter

I did a year long project to build a flexible engine for materialized views onto 1-10TB live event datasets, and our architecture was roughly converging toward this idea of "ship the code to where the indexes are" before we moved onto a different project

I'm very compelled by Rama, but unfortunately won't adopt it due to JVM for totally irrational reasons (just don't like Java/JVM). Would love to see this architecture ported!

Thanks for sharing :)

This finally got me to unsubscribe. I just don’t use it enough and don’t think it’s worth the money

I’ve also held out on paying for YouTube because I think it’s worth closer to $10/mo than the ~$20 it’s priced at

Thrilled to see something like this building on Ledger (a great tool by itself). Will definitely check it out!

"peeng", "pee-pee-df" what is going on on HN the past few days?

YYYY-MM-DD is the way

Haha, I agree that the behavior of those people is a major turnoff.

Communities in the space should be wary of encouraging cult-like behavior. Those who that are cult-like will probably have a hard time attracting talented people who can make valuable contributions, since they're usually attracted by the prospect of making new things possible for the first time, rather than some weird cult with a manifest destiny ("to-the-moon") narrative.

SEC regulation would make the space nerdy and cool again?

I agree that there are many ill-informed people are buying into scams in "crypto" because they think they're "getting in early on the next bitcoin".

e.g. I have a close friend who is quite non-technical who is taking a naive approach by putting a significant portion of his funds into a "cryptocurrency" (not even a utility token) with a very cultish following and pyramid/ponzi scheme mechanics. I've looked into it, and the only buzz seems to be coming from the project core team patting themselves on the back with paid PR releases that overstate their "significant partnerships", bots, and people who want to retire off its "holder incentives". There is notably no buzz from actual developers or similarly credible people.

While I think it makes sense to try to protect people like that from making big mistakes and likely losing significant portions of their net worth, I worry that heavy-handed regulation of the space could block the natural emergence of new use cases and projects that could have very worthwhile public benefits. Or worse, could make people who still believe in the potential of things like web3 and defi– and choose to continue working on projects that violate new and likely unfit regulations –"criminals".

We should be wary of discouraging talented people with good intentions from contributing to the exploration and development of projects around web3 and defi (which depends on exploring different types of application and governance tokens, since these are what allow a decentralized project to economically incentivize its participants to act in a way that serves the project, and in a coordinated manner).

I think at the pace that talented developers are flocking to web3, we should start to see applications with mainstream appeal that provide viable, decentralized but well-coordinated, disintermediated alternatives to applications that have overpowered gatekeeper problems, e.g. those in social media, ecommerce, and many other spaces.

https://futurism.com is using it too, but we're about to move to 2.0 :)

This is awesome! Whenever I'm working with MySQL I'm usually daydreaming about using Datomic instead. I'd love to see more adoption in the community.
