Cryptocurrencies really do need no zealots when some governments continue acting like this. It is really sad for the all the electricity wasted as a result. I wonder what's the real impact. Is there an indicator somewhere about Venezue

I always wondered if a pagerankend management structure would fare better for performance and leadership recognition against the classical hierarchic one. Anyone here has data on this?

A similar approach has been tried by using the micro mirrors arrays from projectors: https://lighton.ai/publications/ They use the mirrors to do random projections very rapidly, and collecting the results on a CMOS rec

Well, Dvorak's l'atout is fixed so it doesn't work. But one could imagine a fixed unkown layout. It would act sort of as a salt, and reduce the attack to a 2F authentication with the keyboard.

I don't think they are, that's just the AMA format looking unusual.

Thanks a lot for sharing your journey! How do you chose which project to tackle on, do you take account of their potential distribution? Have you abandoned a lot of other projects? Do you have a daily routine? Do you have a todo list, a per

Yup, but so far no one got it. There was such an app in the early 2000's, before Google went mainstream, and Altavista-like engines were not good: Copernic 2000. I guess I'm officially old now.

Definitely; We could create a meta search engine that queries them all, in desktop application format. Let's name it after a famous old scientist, and maybe add the year to prove it's modern: Galileo 2021.

Interesting! I'd love to see the SQL version of that though. CQRS reactive patterns with Flink or Spark computing a result to be send to the client could benefit from it: you could decide to move some aggregation client-side in the sam

What I'd really like to see is a multi-dimensional inflation vector that would also be future-proof. People really need diverse items: they need food, but also real estate, the prices of which are going through the roof currently, and

The long term trend for data access is having a reactive component; stream processing engines allow you do have that. On the other hand databases have a huge lock-in power (been trying to strangle an Oracle myself for over 5 years now). It

Python and Ruby are fine for embarrassingly parallel problems, like serving content from well-sharded users. I'd be very surprised if Robinhood's trade matching engine is done in Python. I'd bet they use an off-the-shelf engi

Coroutines in Kotlin are only a compiler trick, and are stackless. Go and Java's are stackful, reifed: small stack chunks are moved in and out of the heap to the carrier stack. This means you get an actual meaningful stacktrace when de

This is compatible with Bitcoin being a store of value. If velocity stays low, the price will continue to go up.
