What other examples are there of "single dependency stacks"?

This article is really about the versatility and reliability of postgres.

And I'm all in agreement.

Reminiscent of:

As much as HN could lead you astray with the hype of this and that tech, articles like the above are some of the most consistently upvoted on this website.

No.

There is precedent in various US states and a handful of countries.

Cost benefit analysis of what is actually happening in these places is a key motivator for the continued wave of legalization around the world.

This is much studied.

DYOR but here's a start:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=portugal+drug+policy&hl...

Also, I'm not sure if you literally mean "a few orders of magnitude" or are using that phrase to simply mean "an increase".

I bet nearly no one who buys crypto even knows what fiat money is

You're uninformed.

GS, BofA, Barclays, Citi, CS, DB, JPM, MS, UBS, WF and countless funds.

The current hype cycle would be nothing without the institutional support.

But even before institutional investors started jumping in, traders and other employees of the above institutions have long been a key part of crypto markets.

It’s a scary but essential truth to realise that normal software engineers like us are an integral part of society’s immune system against the enormous moral hazard of technology-hyped asset bubbles metastasizing into systemic risk.

Myopic and uninformed.

Pretend crypto doesn't exist and you still have a market rife with moral hazard and technology-hyped asset bubbles that metastasize into systemic risk to the point of bringing down the real economy in increasingly shorter crash cycles.

Is crypto a cause or a symptom?

Everything changes when you ditch the network and store the database locally (markdown files and json metadata).

I used Notion for years before Obsidian and the speed alone is a reason to never go back.

On a related note, I also consider Linear to be quite fast and responsive especially when you learn the keyboard shortcuts. And to achieve that responsiveness, they load the whole database (or deltas) at startup.

Spoiler alert: they don't argue what's best.

Very weak evidence offered but the motivation behind the article was near the top.

"They also appeal to more ideological voters—especially on the left—by arguing that they can express their views with more precision in a ranked-choice system."

Back in my day...

This comment thread is in its own category of low quality discussion.

Negativity bias prevents you from seeing that 95% of the homepage right now is technical/nerdy with a lot of high quality corresponding discussion.

When political/social issues hit the homepage, they often slide off quickly if the corresponding discussion is of low quality (has many downvoted comments).

HN is certainly not perfect but just focusing on the parts you don't like prevents you from seeing the bigger picture.

But it's noise not disturbing a good signal.

The signal will always be weak early on.

Look at the comments now and it's clear that the upvote/downvote mechanisms are working sufficiently to address your concern.

This should not be surprising. It's typically faster to not read the article and spew superficial off-topic comments than to write on-topic, substantive, and technical comments.
