SMTP is just a bad protocol and it needs to go away. Unworkable.


Yea, that's exactly what it's for.


Distributed programming is a means to an end, not a goal. If you had a computer with infinite cpu and ram and it could never crash and be geographically close to every customer, you would just use that and build your system on it as a dreaded “monolith”. Much simpler to grok such systems. Much easier to debug and monitor.

That’s what temporal enables.


fwiw, there's a new syntax for this, that is a bit more verbose, but probably worth adopting:

docker container rm $(docker container ls -qa)

docker image rm $(docker image ls -q)


Oops. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Fixing...


Does this solve the state-sharing difficulties of the python solution?


This is so addictive...


No demo video?


Here it is a quick one. Also the next release would have some improvements and a better demo => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwcDK6ZDKco


Too shaky..


Say index funds become illegal, just for the sake of argument. Aren't they replaceable by an algorithm - trading software that balances a portfolio that copies an index per investor? It's less efficient, of course, but it's essentially the same thing. You get millions of tiny, cross-sector owners instead of few big index funds. So in that sense the argument in favor of banning index funds is really pointless. They're just one implementation of a strategy that investors could follow on their own, just less efficiently. Essentially, banning them is just a way of enriching brokers because of the expected rise in transaction fees.


Should be tagged NSFW.
