The amount of energy consumed is a function of the price of the crypto. The more people who use Bitcoin the higher the demand (and hence price) for Bitcoin becomes, making it financially viable to pump even more computing power into mining

So you would rather have your own compensation package be lower if it ensures that your coworkers packages are also low?

The fiat system is used by the entire global economy, bitcoin uses more Energy than my country (Ireland) and probably couldn't serve the needs of a country 5% its size.

You can't make the current system better, its designed to be as wasteful as possible. If I somehow managed to implement something that made the hashing use half as much electricity, it wouldn't result in any reduction of power usa

Energy that could be getting used to displace fossil fuels and instead is being wasted on the shittiest database you could imagine.

That's a positive. You can bash away at whatever you want to do, make all the breaking changes you like without worrying about who gets affected. MIT/BSD are free as in free tech support.

Why would you have anything like passion for the customers or products in Meta of all places? Their main product, FB, is implicated in facilitating ethnic cleansings in multiple countries. Their other big success, Instagram, is a gigantic l

It's not my project, but I am the second person to contribute to it. https://github.com/ballsteve/xrust It's two of us trying to improve Rusts XML offering, by implementing an XSLT processor and all that enta

Honestly for a lot of people they use JSON because thats what they have always used; XMLs heyday was like 15 years ago, you could be a very senior engineer now and have never touched XML.

by Devasta 3y ago
Honestly, I think a big reason is that Stack Overflow didn't exist at XMLs peak, so you had people generating XML by concatenation, to predictably disastrous results. One of the first XSLT transforms I was ever given to maintain genera

Its already here with some stuff, look at the sheer amount of cruft built into web browsers. You can't break existing sites, allegedly, but that just means that some things are set in stone never to be fixed. In the year 2323, browsers

MBNA Canada announced last year they werent going to support Firefox. DTCC apps such as Omgeo support Chrome and Edge only.

Thats only because of the restriction on Webkit only on iOS. That wall is collapsing and with it anything that keeps Safari in the game.

by Devasta 3y ago
Does Safari work on Windows or Android? Safaris market share is because other browser engines are restricted. The second Chrome becomes available on iOS Google search, maps, YouTube, everything will have "Works best in Chrome" pla

In the modern age where "Web Standards" is just a synonym for "Chrome's Feature Set", Mozilla serves one purpose and one purpose alone: they are to be dangled about like Weekend At Bernies so that Google can pretend

Excellent. By not teaching the younger generations about torrenting, we have failed them. Hopefully we can return to them being as active as they were in times past.

Its farcical to suggest that FB is just some middling entity, it has the capability to topple governments if Zuck wanted to. They are already implicated in facilitating multiple ethnic cleansings, what more risk do you want?

Yesterday I saw my nephew, just four years old, talk with such excitement at a train he saw last week. In eras gone by I'm sure this would have people wondering if he'll be a train driver when he grows up, but I'm under no il
