IMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;

  1. A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
  2. A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
  3. A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;

  • Marketplaces.
  • Passenger transportation services.
  • Food delivery.
  • Probably many more.

Friendly reminder that the high seas are always an option. Download stremio, install the torrentio addon, and you are good to go.


I have been using for the past month. I am not a power user, I mostly use it when I need to access libgen. Previously, I was using nordvpn. I feel proton is faster both when connecting to a server but also the connection is faster/more reliable. For example, if I forget to turn it off, I can watch a yt video without any issues.


Here is a list of note-taking apps:

By the way, I am building my own Journaling system, it’s still early stages and I am looking for ideas!


Typing in python leaves a lot to be desired… Being looking at peps for quite some time, but it’s really hard for the language to make progress without breaking compatibility.

Hopefully at some point MOJO becomes mature enough to use in a professional setting.


I am not using Jenkins anymore but this seems like a lifesaver, thanks for sharing


Unless you are using groovy (jenkins), then you are running the pipeline to find syntax errors.


neither, I am autistic, it’s not a choice, it’s a need.



Hey, I am sure I have it, I rephrased the comment, thanks for bringing that up.


Myth: You are lazy.

Truth: It’s highly probable you are neurodivergent.

While, accurate numbers are not available, I have seen people estimating that 20% of people working in FAANG are neurodivergent. If coding comes naturally to you but the laundry is your mortal enemy, it’s worth learning about ADHD/ASD and other common disorders. Being a coder can be a sign, the immediate feedback helps a bunch of us, or as Russel Barkely says “when you solve a problem on a paper, NOTHING HAPPENS”.

Edit: Rephrase.


Totally agree, I had the fortune to read Domain Driven Deign by Eric Evans early in my career. While, the book may be outdated, it helped me understand that my job is to turn the unknown or ambiguous into code. I find that much more exciting than being a coder.


The title is pretty self explanatory. Yes, I want to know if it’s AI generated because I don’t trust it.

I agree with the conclusion that it’s important to disclose how the AI was used. AI can be great to reduce the time needed for boilerplate work, so the authors can focus on what’s important like reviewing and verifying the accuracy of the information.


Just do it, whenever you fix a bug, add a test case for it, the cost is not going to be noticeable. You may choose to not upload the test suite right away, but wait until someone notices and asks you about it.


Most people get over it during uni when everyone is arguing over “X vs Y” language or “vim vs productivity”. At some point you realize how pointless these debates are and continue with your life.

For anyone wanting to publish their code, remember it’s probably better than most OSS code. If you don’t believe that go read a python or js library:

  1. python’s celery for example has hard coded timeouts on every control operation
  2. react mui has so overcomplicated types that they break webstorm inspections
  3. I once found a typing hack on an python library where they reversed a string in order to conditionally import types only when mypy was running in order to avoid cyclic imports.

I still love those libraries, use them at my work and will recommend them to anyone with similar needs as I.

Last but not least, if you aren’t using git something is wrong with you 🤣.


good question, probably the transpiled code does not match the optimized js. Maybe, if they targeted the same js version as js version they are benchmarking, the results would be equivalent?

Also, if they are using a node version with ts support, it will compile the ts before execution which means they are measuring the impact of the compiler, which can be a lot for small snippets.


last week I had misconfigured my auto-format and it was leaving commas and whitespaces. The amount of “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???” comments I got were of the chart.

There was a linter in place, I literally could not merge unless the issues were fixed, yet people felt compelled to point them out.


don’t take tech interviews seriously, they suck for everyone but big corps

your 2 decades of experience mean much more than memorizing algorithms, you know how to produce real value

don’t forget that, and don’t let them forget it


But you don’t go to a tragedy for closure. There comes another episode, and another, and another, more than anyone can bear. A few months after my journey, enormous swaths of the Evros region were consumed by wildfires, the largest such outbreak in recent European history. In August, 18 people, adults as well as children, were found burned to death in a forest near the village of Avantas, just a few miles north of Alexandroupolis. Blackened beyond recognition, some of them were discovered hugging each other. They were presumed to have recently crossed the border and to have sought protection under the trees.

That aged well… The same week a big part of the country (Thessaly) was flooded with many more dead and thousands losing their homes and source of income (agriculture).

Climate change is real and as long as governments choose to ignore it, increasingly more people are going to die.

A person born in a country that spends anti-flood funds for road repairs. A person born in a country that defunds the forestry service in order to buy military equipment. A person born in a country where you may lose your life over a boat fare.


I am a software engineer, I have literally forked tensorflow and modified the executor, and I have created neural networks for predicting aquaculture KPIs that have been deployed with great success.

I stopped looking for a year, and now I feel AI illiterate. (insert “too afraid to ask” meme)

My experience suggests it’s too early to start teaching people. Let the technology do its loop and settle down.
