This so much. Pretty much why I can never ever mingle peacefully with most of my US born friends. They are too woke for me.

FYI, usually in 3rd world countries don’t have unemployment benefit, govt support or bankruptcy laws. Not sure what fallback you meant here.

I love immigrant stories! U know what we have in common as immigrants. We just love to work and make money, to see that our hands actually produce money that goes into our bank statement just brings joy. It is almost not about the money itself but the honor that we get knowing that people appreciate our service.

I love it how Americans and first world countries native born just love to bash these kinds of articles.
While people like me who came from 3rd world country that immigrated to US and first world countries can relate with posts like these.

This is why I just do crypto. Say what you want about crypto, but the risk reward ratio is easily exceeding lotteries and startup lotteries.
Edit: and I do it while working at one of the tech giants. Paycheck goes to crypto.

You need to pay gas fees to transfer/execute smart contracts.

What is this? "If you've maintained the asset for several years you get a tax break" Just capital gain?
christiansakai | 4 years ago | on: Rust on the Frontend and Backend
I see. Last time I saw Rust compilation speed isn’t that fast.
christiansakai | 4 years ago | on: Rust on the Frontend and Backend
Rust has macros so this is possible. Maybe wont look exactly like JSX but it is good enough.
christiansakai | 4 years ago | on: Rust on the Frontend and Backend
I think it is a disadvantage to write Rust on the frontend. Frontend code moves too much and quick prototyping/iteration is more important than memory control.
As for typing, just use TypeScript. It is really good enough already.
christiansakai | 4 years ago | on: Open Source Continuous File Synchronization
I've been thinking to create a desktop app for family uses. Like, family photo albums, notes, precious documents, and more ambitious projects, maybe passwords? My relatively big families are scattered throughout a few different countries and homes.
I am a fullstack web dev so creating web app or electron app is right up my alley, but not in distributed databases or peer to peer stuffs.
I was looking at OrbitDB the other day, but I'm curious can it be programmed to just connect peer to peer to my family computers ip addresses?
Also, as far as I know, I can't upload blob data to OrbitDB, and has to use IPFS instead. Can this syncthing solves this problem?
Or more generally, is there any OSS software that already solves this problem? I'd love to learn how to build it.
The whole system doesn't need to be high performance, it is just for family uses.

Wealth, crypto, high salary of FAANG engineers, data structures and algorithm interviews, diversities are the pet peeves of average HN commenters.
Guaranteed to hit front page when the articles revolved around these areas.

Welcome to GME/Doge era.
Very bullish on JavaScript.

Lol. Anything that can be written in JavaScript will be written in JavaScript.
