A couple of friends and I created this site when we saw dozens of our friends get laid off due to COVID-19. At first it was a google spreadsheet where people left a blurb about their situation, along with their Venmo/Cashapp/Paypa

Yea it’s really quite wild and an exciting application of the ‘programmable money’ concept. Did some more reading. Thanks for the rundown.

Wow this sent me down a rabbit hole. How are the transactions composed, with a smart contract/s, in combination with Dex API’s?

As someone who uses a SPA (React) for webapps - I find it very useful. I run into issues that wouldn't happen if building purely html/css/vanilla js and when that happens I fix the issue. The biggest benefit of using a framew

It is very much like Catch-22 - which I have to say i don’t think I ever finished (was too young to really get it). I do remember some of the absurdities making me chuckle. My family has told me stories about people like the main character,

Interesting - I read in Polish but not as well as English. I imagine there could be a lot of good wordplay that is missing. Maybe one day I’ll try and pick up the Polish version

The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hašek - this book is pee-in-your-pants funny. A Czech satire about WWI. Definitely shines a light on the absurdity of war and various institutions - a lot still applies today. There is profundity in the da

It sounds to me like you're burnt out. I think it might be helpful (if possible) to take a break completely for yourself, in a new environment - even if it's 3-7 days. No work, no family, just a place for you to relax and think. I

Basic Civics, Finance & Economy should definitely be required courses in HS. When I talk to older people they generally tell me they had these classes, and are surprised they're no longer commonly taught. It's almost as if, by

Nice resources here.. I'll add this Udemy course to the list: https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootca... Does anyone have recommendations for specific Phoenix learning resources?

Agreed - even though it's a bit of a learning curve, static typing helped me make more sense of what I was doing - I had to learn it with Swift and I really like (and think it's good for beginners) that there's this layer of

If public expression of a thought MAY result in more sophisticated communal understanding revealed by discourse, then it follows that self-censoring said thought MAY result in eliminating more advanced thoughts. That is a real concern to me

I don't disagree but that's not the point - the point is there is room for improvement, particularly at large organizations (which still have the most impact on the world). Even at startups - the incentives are such that oftentime

A union of developers is a good idea IMO. Developer's are well compensated for their work (generally) - but it's common to hear how their ideas are suppressed. I've been thinking a lot recently about Xerox PARC - a unique sit

Thanks! I was looking at both and Vue was definitely a lot easier to work with and less finicky. Love the fact that you can just link a script and play - it's also supposedly more performant than React although I haven't verified

While I don't necessarily agree with the tone of this piece - I do think that there seems to be a general preference to solving '1st world problems' in the tech industry. The thing is - people should work on what they want to

Hey cool project OP - how do you feel about the inclusion of Vue. Just curious about your general thoughts because I'm thinking of incorporating either React or Vue into my own website

You might enjoy a book called Quantum Psychology (Robert Anton Wilson). He lays out some interesting concepts about the way we think and one thought experiment in particular, observing all the 'thinkers' within and how they can mu

I heard the urinals at Facebook have a sheet at eye-level where the week's "metric-to-hit" is posted. Methods like this seem to be effective, but creepy and invasive.

I've just recently started learning Elixir and have really been enjoying it. Subjectively speaking, I really like the terse yet expressive syntax. It's also nice to have a smaller codebase. There's an awesome package that cre

I have a notion that one of the major ways people will be spending the time they otherwise would be working is by consuming entertainment. If that notion is correct, moving towards an educational model focused around creating the components
