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.
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.
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've used bitcoin for short term transactions to get some money to people that needed it, but in spite of that I have no illusions about that being the exception and not the rule.
At some point tech needs to prove itself through utility and economic viability. This is going to be a difficult to achieve thing for all these coins (BTC and others), and in the bulk of the cases they are money grabs or Ponzi schemes.
That does not help, if the money grabs and the Ponzi schemes (which happen in the 'real world' as well) were a very insignificant minority I suspect the sentiment would be entirely different.
It's futile to ask for things to be removed from the lexicon. Language advances and those 16-year-olds will decide how they speak now and in the future.
I think this is already outdated but a fitting response to your comment could also be "ok boomer"
"ok boomer" is also broken, particularly since it neglects to address the ways that younger generations are all equally narcissistic, just in different ways (plus it's the wrong generation).
and its not "fitting" it is just another useless "zinger" that suppresses thought.
yes, i'm suggesting that the human race attempt to evolve past the use of language constructs that shut down thought.
yes, i'm aware that i'm just yelling at clouds for all the good it'll do.
and actually i'm suggesting that language DOES evolve, but do it into something better. not just every generation inventing its own thoughtless zingers, which is just masturbation applied to evolution of language and thought.
My previous employer used it, and I use it nowadays for my side project. I like it, but granted, its the only log ingestion software I've ever used, so cant compare it. The charts I made are nice and I can easily pinpoint errors, bottlenecks and similar in my platform/code.
Here are some views that we're using for our little startup:
From my experience, Sumo really touts its `logreduce` functionality, which is a process of filtering logs for anomalous messages and bringing interesting things to your attention.
It worked pretty well to be fair, but it got a bit expensive (as things usually do).
Yeah, because the 10x will probably have a sloppier resume and still go where they want while the average people who need to take every advantage will be more likely to meticulously fret over their resume like this.
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.
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.
* how did you settle on 10 seconds? Keeping two databases in sync is a complex process. I'd suggest that the difference between running 1x/min or 6x/min is negligible -- and if it's not then probably you need something more sophisticated than a simple cronjob.
* I am providing free software. You are not contracting with me to provide developer support, so in my book I'm under no obligation to be courteous and polite all the time. I try to be most of the time, but nobody is perfect. Luckily the source is available if you don't want to talk to me. That was my point and I'm surprised that is so triggering to some people.
Thanks for giving me advice on database syncing, but I think that you kinda missed the point.
It doesn't matter how I chose 10 seconds as a periodic task interval, problem was that to a simple question about feature support I got dismissive/borderline rude answer which made me lose confidence in Huey as a project and it's long-term maintainability. And it's not like I asked for something exotic, but a support for subminute periodic tasks which almost every other task queue has.
