Man invented computers and is 80. He can boast a little bit for all I care.

Add crypto to that list too.

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 blockchain tech and bitcoin for what it is, and unique capabilities it offers, beyond "omg its a ponzi scheme!!11!" narrative.

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 ready to ride that wave.

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 nothing and often run in a ponzi scheme manner. These coins will eventually crash and disappear.

Bitcoin's intrinsic values are similar to other asset classes, plus, its also decentralized and censorship resistant.

Controversial take, but the amount of salty comments on crypto here always amuses me.

Care to elaborate how is bitcoin untraceable exactly?

I disagree here. I think this is a valid way to distinct 10x engineers vs other ones.

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 that I hung out with. Also started doing yoga and meditation which immensely alleviated anxiety and loneliness.

All in all, I held up pretty well, but I don't think I would be able to power through another lockdown. I'm from Belgrade, Serbia and looking to fly somewhere warm and remote for the fall and winter (Thailand/Bali/Mexico) where I'd have more freedom than being locked down in an apartment.

All the time. I put pride in my code. I worked in various teams and codebases and came to appreciate the quality of my code.

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 to reindex database changes to ElasticSearch.

After opening GitHub issue about it and asking if there were plans to implement sub-minute intervals, library's author (coleifer on github) had dismissive/arrogant attitude, and his reply was something along the lines of "too bad you cannot fork it and do it by yourself" and deleted my thread.

This threw me off from using this library, and I went back to Celery.

I didn't know this was possible, thanks!

I prefer to use keyboard instead mouse.
