It's more expensive in USD, yes. Which is a problem if you're being paid in USD, instead of BTC. In other words: if your debt is not in the same currency as your income, that might be a problem. Is that what you're saying?

I don't understand. Did you buy a house in BTC or in USD? If you bought it in USD, then the value of it in USD hasn't changed. If you bought it in BTC, then your debt is in BTC. What am I missing?

I see that their "Process API updates" still don't make it possible to get a NIO Pipe object for redirected stdin, stdout or stderr when ProcessBuilder.Redirect.PIPE is used. Maybe they'll fix that some day...

First of all, "just behavior" doesn't really mean anything. You're arguing that people should stop trying to describe other people's behavior in certain terms, but I don't see any compelling argument. "I d

I find this trend slightly scary. The more certain bits of code are used, the more we tend to trust that they are good. Yet, the more time passes, the more complex systems get and the fewer people truly understand those core bits of code. I

No. The US labor and immigration laws are intended to make sure immigrant labor doesn't pose an unfair competition to US labor. In theory, this should protect both immigrants (from being exploited) and US citizens (from unfair competit
