>How did people do that before there were cell phones?

Trust the babysitter to make wise choices. This is actully really tough as cell phones end up lowering the standard expected of babysitters, like the whole GPS/map thing.


Why not both?!! (summarizing tweets occasionally)

Perhaps a resurrection of the Redis Watch newsletter is in order! Are there any existing alternatives?


Is this gRPC the same thing as golang net/rpc referred to here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16170116? I don't think so but I've never used either one.

>seniorsassycat: I don't understand why AWS released Go support instead of binary support and I don't understand why they chose to rely on go's net/rpc [...] which encodes objects using Go's special [gobs] binary format


net/RPC is a rpc implementation in the go standard library, which uses gob for serialization.

gRPC is a protocol and set of libraries for cross-language rpc based on protobuffs. Also doing a lot of codegen for you, like generating clients.


No, this is an RPC and streaming framework built on top of Protobuf and HTTP/2. It's pretty much an open source version of libraries that Google uses pretty much everywhere internally.


No I believe gRPC is a different thing. Don't know what net/rpc is.


I'm a big fan and I hope you see this comment before the edit window passes (unlikely, unfortunately):

You need to get yourself some whitespace in this reply!


Thanks! Done :-)


A secure wallet is not super helpful if immediately cashing out (to fiat), right?

A legitimate, soup-to-nuts "turn one email into $___ in cash" walkthrough (perhaps the beginnings of which is below, though I can't personally vouch for it) would do well!

(Search "2. Stellar" [no quotes] twice; does anyone know how to link directly on Medium? This piece focuses more on breadth than depth, covering multiple cryptocurrencies. The only useful Stellar info there seems to be https://launch.stellar.org/#/login)


Not sure which comment you're referring to specifically, perhaps https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16216329#16217304?

>swanson: Related to the Coinbase/insider trading noise around BCH a few weeks ago, it seems strange for Stripe to plug other alt-coins (OMG, Stellar, etc) in the post as things they view as "promising" and "imagine enabling support for". I don't think it's illegal nor unethical personally, but it is such a dicey topic that I'm surprised to see someone writing without a mountain of disclaimers on an official Stripe communication channel

>>ChristianBundy: FYI, Stripe has been very transparent in the fact that they believe (and have pumped millions of dollars into) Stellar

PS. Thanks to your question, today I re-discovered https://unqlite.org, which may fulfill a requirement I've been facing for some time. Awesome!


Hey hey, unqlite looks pretty interesting. I'm both glad you were able to rediscover it and glad that I can have fun reading about it!


>Do you also use a shitty computer just to protect yourself from addictive video games?

I've given serious consideration to limiting myself to mobile versions of the game I'm addicted to, but I can't answer 'yes' yet!

I can also vouch for the effectiveness of this strategy based on slow motion Street Fighter 4 on a machine with an integrated graphics card.
