All the same arguments were said about cigarettes and yet in 2022 I almost never smell a cigarette burning outside and few young people smoke. People complained about cigarette tax…

They didn’t say calories are addictive. They clearly said certain foods are addictive. Those foods should be more regulated like cigarettes and companies take more responsibility a…

Jetbrains and rust have brilliant refactoring. No idea how it compares to kotlin, but I can confidently move methods to other modules and files, rename anything, navigate to defini…

> if you're head and shoulders above any of your competitors, you're able to get away with things like this. The hubris of Tesla is still believing this to be the case. I personall…

No but I have been through exchange mandated confiscation of crypto wallets. Be your own bank you say? Keep my own keys you say? You think the average person from the article would…

That’s literally just another way of saying you are using Bitcoin to break the law. Also in the US, transferring Bitcoin to say Russia is sanctioned and illegal. Is it technically …

GraphQL is a layer in front of SQL. I can write a Graphql endpoint in python (Using Django-Graphene). I can write python functions that return data to the graphql. I can write ORM …

OK to give you a clear example. Say you have a REST interface for Student and Class. What do you do in rest if you want to get just a class? What do you do if you want to get a cla…

Great to see improving support for async here. I am a big fan, but IMO python async code is just different from other async langauges. I used async extensively in python and compar…

I think my experience in async in other languages has shown how rough async in Python is. Unless async is the default python, it will always be an after thought and introduce needl…

Why do they need Async templates? When a template renders it should be pure data and fully on the CPU. It seems Async templates would encourage a bad behavior of doing n+1 queries …

? With Graphql and Phoenix you use a RDBMS to provide data for the queries you write. Its not a replacement. Its also not even much a paradigm shift in my experience. Queries are s…

I would say -> GraphqL + Phoenix + Postgres From my perspective I wouldn’t choose CouchDB. For one, its a pretty obscure DB that doesn’t have a lot of support. For example almost a…

The main value proposition is to sell to the next person for more than you paid. Everything else about banking the unbanked or other vague goals about being better than fiat are to…

So the only use for crypto is that regulations haven’t caught up to it? Used to pay illegal immigrants and circumvent sanctions, which is still illegal whether or not crypto makes …

No they are not. That rationale is a coping strategy at best and deliberately misleading at worst. Tether is NOT a bank. They are not regulated and have no guarantee that depositor…

Short answer yes! Long answer: Statetrace works at two different levels. The first is to record the raw changes without annotations. Statetrace works 100% with any framework at thi…

Time Travel works by generating a SQL statement or a CTE, which transforms the raw audit events into a snapshot of the table at a point in time with extra columns for the annotatio…

I think it stems from complaining is lazy. Its much more difficult to see why things are they way they are or see the virtue in things even if they have flaws. Its not that complai…

I’m not sure about patchy. I transferred money about 10 times this year and all the recipients wanted Zelle. All of your other criticisms are valid, but also exist in a system wher…

I think ToR is the worst example you can use. Good in theory? Yes. In practice it is pedophile and drug honeypot with exit nodes run my the government with limited legitimate actua…

All of 1/2/3 could be or gamed or hacked if not EXTREME measures are taken. As proven repeatedly by the hundreds millions in dollars in smart contract hacks and losses that have ha…

Same thing exists in the US. Property ownership and property tax is open and publicly accessible
