I agree. I've been holding BTC for a couple of years as I feel that international accessibility coupled with scarcity makes for a great store of value. But DeFi I still fail to wrap my head around.

My main concern being: DeFi could get harsh competition from traditional financial actors by them getting up to date on accessibility. Thus appealing to a new, more decentralized userbase.

IMO this is the single most relevant issue with static generators. Hopefully it will be adressed soon.

Or you can just roll with JAMstack as it's literally about what you're asking for.

"The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism"... just wow. Is it crazy to consider that crypto companies might simply provide better tools than a lot of banks, therefore driving worldwide adoption?

I can relate to that, I feel like most computer stuff is a hamster wheel for smart peeps.

As GP's declarations are backed by air, we can speculate they are self-reported statements by people working on non-business-centric applications.

I'm pretty sure the advantage of serverless is that you can use microservices for your MVPs. The gains for a one-man team might not be ovious, but I like to believe that once a project needs scaling it is not as painful as tearing down the monolith.

I might be missing something, but when I am browsing dApps catalogues, I fail to see anything revolutionary. Would love to hear from someone knowledgeable.

Now THAT is a dreadful read. Climate change not so bad after all.

That is fascinating, thanks for the link.

Would you like to mandate background checks for every potential customer?

I think they are referring to the idea of "apparatus" from Michel Foucault.

From wikipedia: "I shall call an apparatus literally anything that has in some way the capacity to capture, orient, determine, intercept, model, control, or secure the gestures, behaviors, opinions, or discourses of living beings."

That part about the "business guys".. felt it. We should just quit and form a nation.

I think these are two different languages for two different jobs.

I can see javascript slowly expanding from the front-end into the back-end, mostly thanks to projects like TypeScript that appeal to the back-end crowds, but also because of the whole serverless hype which IMO is justified.

Now there still is a strong "cultural divide" between the software and the data-science communities. And when you see how strong the innertia for python's projects is.. Well I guess we won't see this changing anytime soon.

It's an interesting dataset, but I feel that it lacks one relevant metric, which in our case is Temperature Anomaly.

I long for the day when I can sort datatables on such central websites.

Except this is thanks to the energy peak we're living in (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-primary-energy). Take out crude oil, natural gas and coal, and most of these luxuries are gone. We'll be lucky if we manage to keep HN running.

All of this seems quite counter-inuitive to me:

  "Instead of buying pesticides and artificial fertilisers, they have invested heavily in labour and technology."

but also:

  "They hadn’t increased the cost of making wine as they shifted to organic practice"

As far as the article goes, these are just claims with no evidence. I hardly imagine any solution that could maintain price and provide "sustainability".

What if the issue was not restrained to javascript? What if the state of the web was just another case of "victim of its own success" ?
