I upvote every submission that raises a point I'm interested in. As for the comments, I upvote both the ones I really agree with and the ones that contain some interesting information I haven't heard before or interesting arguments. Apart from that, I frequently upvote downvoted comments.

> It is however interesting that we used relational databases for virtually everything for decades even though SQL is suboptimal at most things
You have no clue what SQL or ACIDity is. For 99% of the cases SQL/RDBMS is the right choice. You probably think you belong in that 1%, but from your comment, I suspect you do not.
> I choose to use NoSQL for virtually all my projects
That's because you have no important data to store.
When you get to store data that are important to your customers you're gonna have a big revelation.
>> You have no clue what SQL or ACIDity is.
"NOSQL" doesn't mean "no ACID". There are plenty of NOSQL DBs that are ACID compliant. And SQL is not the only way to write your queries. There are a lot more QLs.
I'm not totally sure how a blockchain works so please correct me if im wrong - for a hard fork to happen in Ethereum or Bitcoin, the majority of users have to "agree" by switching to thew new blockchain right?
In that case, the Ethereum hard fork doesn't sound very controversial - even if the devs decided to hard fork for bad reasons later on, no one would be forced to adopt it. They would be "voting with their feet" by sticking to the old chain.
That's the case if there are dozens of different client implementations each maintained by a separate independent team. If there is just one client and no people qualified enough to fork it and maintain we end up with a centralization. The only team can make whatever changes they wish.
anonx commented on Ask HN: What are the most popular non-English programming languages? · Posted by u/holaboyperu
1C:Enterprise Programming Language is pretty popular in CIS countries. It is high level, looks like Visual Basic but has Russian syntax. Sample: [1]. Not something I like, just a popular language I'm aware of.
Cannot say whether it's worth it. I guess it depends on what exactly you're trying to achieve.
anonx commented on Custom resume from someone who wanted to work at Airbnb (2015) nina4airbnb.com/... · Posted by u/tswicegood
I wouldn't hire a designer who's application does not degrade gracefully - had to allow JS just to see her resume.
She's designing social media strategies. Do they have to degrade gracefully, too?
Is anyone else really bothered that 2 sites advocating for "best practices" fail to use HTTPS? People are willing to write paragraphs arguing the technical merits of subdomains but nobody could take 10 minutes to put their site behind CloudFlare?
I'm using CloudFlare for GH Pages based web-sites with custom domains. However, Tor user in me says that's not really a "good practice". Looks like there isn't a way to turn off that annoying "Attention Required!" "One more step" checks, is there?

Like near-copy pasta: https://codebeat.co/projects/github-com-google-seesaw/report... ?
Well, there is `EngineCon` interface [1]. And two types (`engineIPC` [2] and `engineRPC` [3]) that implement the interface. That's why there is some repetition. So, what?

There is Freenom that let you register free .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf, .gq domains. And the number of scam web-sites IMO discredit those domain zones.
Though according to the feedback online, Freenom to domains is not what Letsencrypt is to SSL. Their business model (cancel domain name registration then ask $xxxx to register it again) looks like fraud to me [1].

I am a security conscious software engineer mainly focusing on back-end; B.S.E.; looking for a position that requires a self starter with can do attitude. Work on open-source projects and communication with other developers as part of responsibilities is a plus. Both remote work (in any timezone) and relocation are OK. I am, however, not authorized to work in the US or EU.
