How was it, when Gregory House put it... "...and no, I don't have a pain-management problem. I have a pain problem. But who knows, maybe I'm too high to tell..."

Perhaps the problem isn't your particular environment, but these languages infrastructure.

This is a friend of mine and I'm always skeptical of his ideas being overly technical, but sometimes we all tend to forget that programming can be a form of art and expression too,…

Oh god, thanks you, something at least. That's gonna save us all.

I've been watching lots of talks on microservices lately - some of them are by people working at big companies that have 1000+ microservices. Strikingly, even at that number, they …

Can we please stop writing html inside Javascript or Ruby in this case?

Explain the mechanism. How do I know this organization made this much money and that the amount I'm being paid is fair in regards to their profits? How can this code track all the …

Explain the mechanism by which people who invest can exercise their rights as stakeholders, receive dividends etc? Who's to enforce they actually own anything? What's stopping this…

Except Bitcoin. And the market justly reflects it via price.

What has it delivered exactly? Where is it being used that's not itself a scam? MakerDAO - which seems to be some sort of token issuance thing - has no real world mechanism for enf…

Whether or not you're aligned with Bitcoin political values and goals, please don't be duped by Ethereum. It may appear as something useful, without the stigma of Bitcoin being bla…

Vitalik and ETH are the definitions of scam and scammer. He's very good at obfuscating it by appearing very smart: read his articles and tweets, they always sound complex, but can …

I hope they donate to projects with anonymous developers, not businesses.

What? If I'm an open source developer online, I doubt local tax authorities have the means to track me down. I can be anywhere in any country.

How this works? They send btc and people use them. You're thinking in the old frame of reference: you don't need banks, legal entities or identities even to produce code. Who cares…

Knowing the founder, find it hard to believe. The guy who fled Russia to avoid persecution has little tolerance for any government trying to mess with people's privacy. Culturally,…

Ah, great, all the features we don't need, but would have to upgrade to anyway.

I feel like this is all insane and doesn't make any sense. At least to the general public. What difference does it make? It doesn't even improve our understanding of reality in any…

Looking forward to it, very interested. However, I'm going to be honest with you - it'd be a hard decision to rely on a service rather than an open-source software. Like, you guys …

Into a separate repo. See my other reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20647649

I'll give you a counter example: whenever I change CI workflow for something that has nothing to do with the repo - like a new deployment scheme to staging - I have to go and ask p…

So, it's a very interesting situation. On one hand, I agree with you: when I start a new project, I am the master of it, I take care of everything and I need to make sure deploymen…

I hear you. I thought about it and I think you need to reframe the problem. If a change in the application breaks your CI, it means you need to adjust the CI so it doesn't break wh…

It's a horrible trend. CI should not be tied to version control. I mean we all have to deal with it now, but I'd much rather have my CI agnostic and not have config files for it ch…

I never said those products don't provide value, I only said they're not exceptional in providing that value and that value can be obtained by carefully considering alternative sol…
