+1 for Telegraf (with Prometheus and Grafana), rolled out a monitoring stack for our internal network in something like 2 days when a colleague had been manually checking `top` for years each morning. Huge benefit.

Yeah haha, whoops

The probability of making money investing in lottery tickets and BTC are obviously different

Let's talk about braid theory. In the quantum world, particles can be thought of as strands, and their interactions as braids. The braids weave and loop around each other, creating intricate patterns, a dance of existence. Each unique pattern, or braid, represents a different state of the particle. The magic is that the braids can't get tangled.

That is not too far off hahahaha

The SDK is coming out next month way before the devices launch so I suspect there will be some simulation options. I'll be playing about with it for sure - I want to see what gaming HUDs I can bring to life!

This feels like what GPT-4 would say on the Rogan podcast after mushrooms

But you've picked the very peak of a previous bull run against a dip of a bear market... QQQ peaked in 2021 at $404 but is now at $355 so it's down 15%. This is just as relevant as what you're saying but obviously doesn't capture the whole picture? QQQ dipped from $101 to $20 once which is a huge loss, larger than BTCs largest dip as a percentage, but again that doesn't really tell the whole picture either.

Not trying to be rude or argumentative here, I just really don't understand your point.

Myanmar also has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_Z._Win and the late https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Paw :)

Huh? BTC is up 56% YTD, QQQ is up 34.5%. Over five years BTC is up 300%, QQQ is 100%. Over life BTC is 7850% while QQQ is 570%. Today QQQ is up 0.12%, BTC is up 0.95%.

I don’t know which slice you want to compare but general holds of BTC have outperformed QQQ significantly, even today it’s done better while it’s two largest exchanges have been sued by the SEC.

This is true when it’s going down and false when it’s going up. Do the same analysis of previous years during bull crypto markets and does this hold up?

Looks like coinbase is on the chopping block now (:

Well some of my comments about Coinbase being better than Binance on yesterdays post aged like fine milk

Sorry you're right I did, had crypto in my head when I wrote that

Sure, but as a public company they're legally responsible for the audit they signed off and while the Big 4 refuse to work with private crypto companies, Deloitte did choose to audit Coinbase. I just don't believe they can get away with this level of shady stuff while a Big 4 audit them and they're under extreme scrutiny for the sector from the SEC.

Surprised CZ owns 100% of CryptoMarketCap - that seems ripe for manipulation.

Coinbase is a public company and has genuine audits - I'd be surprised if they failed for any reason other than Crypto being outlawed.

Coinbase?

I’m moving to Sweden from the Bay Area and this seems very low - I spend that for myself and my wife probably over two days (including coffees etc)… Is this the genuine average? It’ll make me swallow lower salaries a lot easier!

Empirically Americans are 17% better than the Swiss at programming ML frameworks

In all seriousness this isn’t something you can compare - so many more important factors

Assuming high sensitivity this is good stuff to learn - anxiety of a correct diagnosis is healthy.

The one I think about was when I was building a 3D model of a new office in Unity and the options were either purchasing a material or trying to design one myself with basically 0 experience of doing so. Something like $40 for the material or however long it'd take me to work it out.

The $10 option was genuine though, it was for some SaaS tool to monitor endpoints and text if things broke (about 9 years ago when I had basically zero coding experience) - so just one seat, or me trying to hack something together with text/email notifications and a nice UI. Even now I'd probably still prefer using something like that over writing something in-house, although I'd be more happy to look at self-hosting an open source option.

Absolutely. The number of times I’ve pointed out a paid tool for $10pm is cheaper than a days salary per month to build in-house and maintain…

I’m driving SF to NY next week so will definitely spend some time trying this out to share with family!

That’s so detached from reality it’s funny

Why would we want to use purely functional data structures? When do the pros of functional data structures outweigh the additional complexity? Are there scenarios when a project would want to pivot from a regular data structure to a purely functional one?

the kinds of people who tend to become researchers are also jerks

Blanket statements like this are ridiculous.

Just expect to be treated as an brainless execution monkey at those places

Each lab has a different vibe - some will suck, some will be awesome. Totally depends on where you end up just like a startup.

I have done it in the past and quit after 4 months

Sounds like you got unlucky.

I (hope?) it's the market. Moving from the US to Europe so leaving my job (which I enjoy) and so far have had zero responses to my applications both where I'm moving to and remote. Normally I get around 50% interviews and from those around 50% offers. I've applied for 30+ jobs and had zero response.

There's quite a few - I've had three of those jobs at 29 years old (from pre-Covid). Look at angel.co or something similar to find startups hiring - they can be very remote friendly and rarely advertise < $100k.

I tried Decentraland and it was buggy (graphically), the games were awful & normally required substantial investment to join (for example an NFT to join Poker games), and everything was dead.

Thanks, signing up! :)
