Solid is still the best implementation of fine grained reactivity.

Solid JS is what I would have chosen. Not sure if they considered it. Best performance and dev experience with least 'magic' of all frameworks I've tried.

People should learn about how much money the Fed is printing these days.

Bitcoin is getting a lot of attention from a lot of very smart financial people around the world because they see that with so much USD being printed, inflation is bound to happen and Bitcoin is one of many ways they can hedge against it.

HN is where you can find great commentary about tech related stuff. But outside of that eg. financial matters .. no.

People just trying to justify to themselves why they didn't buy bitcoin at $100.

Looking at the comments here it's almost like a political debate where they keep trying to come up with justifications.

A lot of people on HN seem to have 'strong opinions strongly held' about things.

You're being downvoted but I completely agree.

It's funny how people on HN which are likely some of the first people in the world to know about bitcoin (eg. since it was only at $100 or less) keep upvoting articles like this for years now.

I think these people deep down know that they missed an amazing chance by not investing in bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) years ago, so articles like this make them feel better about it and lets them justify not investing in bitcoin to themselves.

But then in a few years bitcoin 5xs again and then they realize if they bought it at todays price would still have made them massive profit.

But then they see a new article saying bitcoin is a ponzi and upvote it and feel good about themselves again.

Oh but they have to downvote any comments like yours too.

This is worse than reddit actually. Actually his comment is what I expect a subset of HN would think.

Male tech workers who value money above all else.

This is the worst thing about this whole issue.

If they were actually good at removing crapware from the store, then a bit of collateral damage would be understandable. Instead, it is still filled with crapware and even when reported they do nothing. And instead, they go for honest developers.

At this point Google is practically almost hostile to honest developers.

Also, it is strange that they value the revenue from these crapware apps more than their platform's reputation compared to ios App Store.

So a Korean, who probably knows more about the topic of Korean culture than the average American HN reader, gives their view and somehow these other readers think they know better and downvote him/her?

Typical HN attitude really ... people on this board seem to have this "know it all / know it better than you" attitude even when they clearly don't.

As someone who is not a Westerner or American, this place always makes me feel that it is just a self validating echo chamber being so sure of your views even when it isn't matched to reality.

His legacy will be that he was one of the most impactful climate deniers who influenced so many, including politicians and presidents, to ignore the issue of global warming precisely when there was still time to fix it.

I am considering FoundationDB for a SaaS project. Here are some questions I have:

1. What is the recommended way to filter on multiple indexes?

2. What is the recommended way to filter on one or more indexes and sort on another or more index(es)

3. If I use FoundationDB as my main datastore, how should I implement full text search?

4. From what I understand, FoundationDB stores keys sorted globally. How does it handle hot spots where a range of keys that is very frequently accessed is on one machine that gets overloaded?

Edit 5. How do you do backups?
