Comments on other internet sources I follow are mostly mixed bag of beans, however here they are prevalently salty when it comes to crypto and every time I stumble upon topic like this I wonder why. I was expecting that HN audience sees blo

I'm really curious why that annoys you? As I mentioned earlier, almost any emerging technology will go through period of instability, and with bitcoin and its speculative nature this is certainly the case. And there are people that are

Bitcoin is here to stay. You're mixing up shitcoins and other ponzi-like schemes. As with any new & emerging technology, blockchain ecosystem hosts various (intentional or unintentional) FUD and malicious coins that are backed by n

My previous employer used it, and I use it nowadays for my side project. I like it, but granted, its the only log ingestion software I've ever used, so cant compare it. The charts I made are nice and I can easily pinpoint errors, bottl

I broke up with a girlfriend shortly before whole hell broke loose, so February to April lockdown has been the loneliest time in my life, but I powered through it by working a lot (two fulltime jobs + startup) and having few close friends t

Thanks for giving me advice on database syncing, but I think that you kinda missed the point. It doesn't matter how I chose 10 seconds as a periodic task interval, problem was that to a simple question about feature support I got dismi

I also liked Huey because of it's simplicity, and tried using it in a commercial project, but it couldn't execute periodic tasks in less than a minute intervals which puzzled me a bit. I had need to execute task every 10 seconds t

I'm active in development related channels on freenode (e.g. #python, #aws, #docker, etc). As a contractor who codes alone most of the time, it's a great source of help if I can't solve something, or to hear opinion of others

It requires a lot of pampering, but I quite enjoy using it and discovering it's possibilities. I am using it for the startup project which I work on, that has search feature very similar to Instagram one. Do you have any other suggesti

This is truly amazing. I have always developed on Windows and recently got a new contract where whole development environment is based on OSX/Linux. It has saved me hours and hours of work (and $$$) since I can run their environment in

Honest answer is that I don't know exactly why. I am really torn about this right now. After 5 years of moving around all the places look more or less the same and I am getting pretty lonely/anxious/depressed due to lack of s
