Really the anime and chicks with dicks on this website. It’s enough to make one explode with sexual desire for a boy toy.

IMO, blockchain technology is good for one use case: illegal transactions.

I think all else can be achieved more efficiently by using a trusted third party write-only database, such as the ones available on AWS, and you’d also have the benefit of being able to go to court to seek relief. Some blockchain markets are basically reinventing banking systems and preexisting financial law - systems that have been built over centuries and have quite a bit of knowledge baked in.

I do like the shift to proof of stake from proof of work, but this tech is silly to me.

This is a sort of word salad / free association / confabulation that is typical of schizophrenia

How has trump been treated unfairly by the courts?

I think what may buoy them is the fact that you must append “Reddit” to searches, however, ChatGPT, DuckDuckGo, and Kagi are giving them a run for their money

So does porcelain American mean brittle and prone to fracture, or is it an exclusively white person designation, or most probably both? Genuinely asking, as it is a neologism for me

Exactly! Came here to comment the same thing. Fight against the dying of the light, butt man.

I’ve messed with Spanish, Italian, German, and Swahili. It is not my opinion that these languages are more difficult to learn than English, even with the reduced pronouns and gendered nouns.

I think you’re doing great.

I’ve worked on by the book scrum teams, and not by the book scrum teams.

Scrum is dogshit.

I really hope this goes through, because the pile of dogshit they sold my municipal government can’t fairly be called code.

It’s astonishing. I will never ever deal with that company if I have the opportunity in the future because of how utterly incompetent they were creating a “microservices architecture” for us which is in effect a series of AWS Lambdas running random Python that do not coordinate, suffer from race conditions, and in many places do not do the thing in the first place.

It’s the second worst code I’ve ever seen. The first was home grown at another public sector job.

The cost for this shit that could have been replaced by a simple Flask app? Or even a well structured, in-lined Python script? $1.5 million. Ongoing costs in the hundreds of thousands per year.

This should be a $20-50/month EC2 instance.

Absolute garbage.

No, I am not underestimating the complexity requirements nor the communication overhead/competing stakeholder interests and all other manner of externalities.

Deloitte belongs in the dust heap.
