As a European I work hard but do expect labour laws to be respected, if that's what you mean. Minimum of 22 days annual vacation (that I use 100% of), paid sick leave, 14 national holidays per year, etc.

It's not important because it won't affect the US?

These are not morally equivalent. The office-worker wants others to modify everyone's behaviour to support them, whereas the remote worker just wants to control their own behaviour. The remote worker is completely ambivalent to where others want to work.

Future historians will laugh and cry knowing we invested trillions and boiled the oceans for the sake of a useless append-only log.

This doesn't make it immune from criticism. What if the United States added "Caucasian state" to the constitution and started discriminating against other ethnicities. Would that be okay for you?

You can use the onion location header[0] to redirect the user, as mentioned in another comment thread.

Are there any valid use-cases? For any suggestion I've heard, it always seems that a relational database or PKI would be better.

He does state that when (not if) we move beyond the current system, distributed ledgers will become a useful tool.

> I consider blockchain, and Ethereum-style mechanisms, as technologies that will prove extremely useful once private property in the means of production ends. But, on their own, these technologies will not liberate us from the extractive power of the few.

The point remains, maybe as an autistic person they don't like eye contact or sitting still but that's where discipline comes into it.

I got an occulus quest 2 (manufactured by meta) recently and it's a lot of fun. VR is not revolutionary but it's definitely going to make money for meta and others.

It's a single go binary that supports IMAP and SMTP, with a CLI (maddyctl) to help you set it up. TLS can be added with acme.sh.

Solana transactions currently cost $0.00025 and can handle 50,000 transactions per second. For comparison visa handles 1700 TPS and MasterCard 5000.

I seem to remember pornhub being hit by this, which is why they removed unverified content. Perhaps it's also why OnlyFans decided to ban explicit content a few months back (before backpedaling).

I read this as a failure of the state for publishing information that "should not be public".

It is 'avoid "success at all costs"' meaning success is good but must be balanced against other priorities.

I use this same setup but with a requirements folder. Inside I have a base.txt, dev.txt and tests.txt where dev.txt starts with '-r tests.txt', etc.

It's very handy for having different environments but doesn't lend itself to a lockfile.

I direct my hate towards those who make this necessary.

I doubt if many enterprises would survive this level of catastrophe.

I'm not sure it really works like this. Suppose you've spent 10 years becoming a master java developer, and now all the investment is going into python. You're going to better than the boot-campers after 1 week and a master developer after 3 months, whereas the others will still need years to catch up.

I think it's worth keeping a loose working knowledge of all the mainstream software in your field, but don't really go deep until you need it.

I would love it for Europe and am sure that a lot of governments would too. France is openly pushing to get the startup scene going in their country, and Estonia is famous for its services to digital nomads.

Not all shows need portability so why stop them all? Desktop applications absolutely, but It's trivial to build, deploy and operate docker containers on servers.

Nothing is absolute, of course if you take it far enough the seams of the argument tear but there is merit to it.

A senior browser frontend developer is likely to pick up mobile development quite quickly.

Likewise someone who's been doing Spring Boot Java backends for years and is proficient with databases, caching, etc. Isn't necessarily going to find it hard to switch to a serverless nodejs paradigm.

The network card person is probably able to handle the embedded microwave oven.

Etc.

Matrix is an open protocol and anyone's welcome to build a front-end, inspired by Telegram, that your mother would be happy using.

Perhaps you meant the Element client?

As English speakers we often take for granted acronyms such as DB or even USA. For foreigners these can also be inscrutable.

There are many scenarios where it's useful, but I will illustrate a simple and important one.

When you do a rolling upgrade, a new service must be assigned to an available port different to the existing one. After starting you'll probably run some health checks, and once satisfied you'll want to switch traffic over to the new instance and halt the old. How do you tell the rest of your infrastructure what the new port is? Service discovery.
