Very cool in 2021 to see rust and elixir as the first two supported languages :)

Humanity needs the source of this youtube channel. Italian cuisine depends on this. This is a very serious matter.

Yeah no, we should use this money to fund energy research. Trying to woo idiots is a stupid game already won by youtube, online advertising and TikTok.

I wonder if this telemetry is also unencrypted for launches carrying sensitive government payloads? Very cool stuff though, rtl-sdr.com has been a great source of entertainment for many years!

This is likely a move so they can continue to either a) import firearms from outside of the US for sale or b) to gain traction and tooling to produce CZ products domestically in the case that the Biden Admin actually gets some form of "assault weapon" ban passed. It's important to note, they'll include pistols that hold more than 15 rounds as "assault weapons".

I still use pipenv and it's great. Python version management is a hell hole when sharing a project with other devs, pipenv solves this issue and is easy enough to containerize.

This is why I keep a "universal hammer" at my desk. If the gov boys walk in all I have to do is use it on my phone / laptop.

Problem solved.

Thinking about upgrading to a small commercial grade shredder or microwave.

As someone who used to like team happy hours / events when we had offices - team "events" via zoom are weird and awkward. I spend so much of my time at home working, that the last thing I want to do in my free time is pretend to want to talk to my co-workers.

This is awesome! Anyone know of an alibaba source for thermal labels with embedded NFC radio tags?

If there was ever an answer to the question of "is there commercial or enterprise value in blockchain technology" this is the indicator of all indicators. Hyperledger / Corda were always shit, but this really takes the cake.

Even as someone who loves ethereum and has been active in the community since the early days - I still maintain that the technology, other than distributed DNS and the advent of IPFS (not in itself a blockchain technology) are the only productive real products of current blockchain "tech".

If you meet someone at a party (god forbid we have those anymore) and they espouse the "value" of blockchain, please immediately move on and ignore them.

Asdf is fantastic for forcing versions of elixir, especially since no native version control exists for the elixir vm itself. Tools like this are developer friendly and also easy to introduce and share - I've had nothing but fantastic experiences with Asdf.

Calculating how much sales tax to collect (when building internal ecommerce payment processing) and figuring out how to report "transient" cashflow (for instance payouts to vendors who sell on a platform) on taxes while not counting it as income.

Figuring out how to file taxes for a small team incorperated as an LLC is also a bit daunting, especially when all team members are in different states working remote.
