It's quite ingenious to talk about the failure of Cyberpunk 2077 while discounting the massive success of The Witcher from the same studio

Handshake is more of a solution to a political/governance problem than a technical one.

It's usually much more difficult to increase prices later after you've gathered more data. The Web is a much bigger, diverse place today than it was 10 years ago. Start at higher prices as a rule for [esp for non-technical audiences], measure, tweak and repeat.
Re:How Estimates of the Gig Economy Went Wrong on Wednesday January 09, 2019 @05:44AM (#18863773)
It appears the gig economy will be remembered as the last stand of humans before the machines took over.
I find it interesting that feedback like this still abounds (and for good reason), considering the many tools and frameworks and services available online today. Apparently the field for delivering another tool or service continues to remain green :)
Lots of emotional comments with the usual I-hate-MS bent, without a single reference to data showing Azure [Linux VM] users or non-users. Always shocking to see individuals who claim to be rational and open-minded in one domain become irrational, closed and judgemental in another.

Interestingly, I've been learning Go by reading the goethereum codebase. Any more awesome codebase pointers would be appreciated too. Thanks all.
Re:A Farewell to Go on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @01:05PM (#14971274)
I'm learning Go for working with distributed systems and blockchains, but I'm basically another C#/.NET dude. Apart from the requirements to follow and maintain certain Google Guidelines, I don't mind the language to be honest. Looks neat to me.
I was going to ask why AWS Lambda was not used instead. Or any other serverless offering from the major cloud providers.
Re:Author of cURL denied entry to the USA on Tuesday June 27, 2017 @06:27AM (#14643920)
Great. So what does this rejection accomplish based on your premise of having written software that has been repurposed by evil actors? Dan's GPS coordinates at any time t does not affect whether he writes code that will be used for good or evil, so what gives? :\
Re:Author of cURL denied entry to the USA on Tuesday June 27, 2017 @06:13AM (#14643835)
Completely agree with this. Based on historical cycles, we're probably heading into even more protectionist times ahead.

> Regarding Daniel - like others here I'm sure it's because cURL has been used extensively for bad purposes he was kicked off the ESTA program. Yes it sucks that they didn't let him know in advance, and they didn't have the smarts to figure that he had nothing to do with the bad actors.

Very strange paragraph right there. I could easily generalize this to Windows powershell is increasingly being used in cyber offensives by non-state actors, let us eject Microsoft from the United States

A differently sounding username would have at least helped your case. :)

Even if Windows kernel security is more robust, anybody can easily fault you for some form of cognitive bias. I use Windows, therefore Windows is more superior.

I'm quite certain that BTC/ETH/SHM-TC fundamentalism and bigotry has no place here. Try Reddit bro.

Well, at some point, you reach your limit in shares, so...

I'd rather geek out at Quantopian, than play latest-tech-buzzwords with these guys. Definitely, a sucker game.
How despicable really. Checked a16z's portfolio and there's no company by that name. Checked Google Play for their alleged app, zilch.

Depends on how you see it though; the most impactful stuff is not necessarily the most reported in the media. As always, the media lags these things and so the public don't get to see shit coming.
