I stand corrected - it seems blocks' time must be increasing and must not be more than 15 minutes in the future, according to clocks of validating miners. Thanks, didn't know that!

I wish them luck and hope they solve payment processing problems for adult performers once and for all. That said, the only point of a separate token I see is getting them money so they can actually implement the system. From end users'

Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that there were no checks whatsoever and it's only a goodwill of miners (and lack of incentive to do otherwise) that provides somewhat accurate time. On the flip side, I'm sure t

I bought Das because I thought I wanted a better keyboard and remembered that back in the day I loved my mechanical "click" keyboard. It turns out I was wrong. The (brown) switches were waaay too loud for my (and my coworkers'

Payment for adult content is where Ethereum and similar cryptocurrencies would solve a real problem. Of course tokens (like SpankChain) are not really needed for a solution, one could use ETH directly. The anonymity of transactions could be

Well, NoScript (and uMatrix) help with security too, so it might still be a good idea to use them.

True. And the others mostly couldn't deliver. Also not surprising is that one of the few news on HN about ICOs compares them disfavorably to VC founding. A bit predictable, that's all.

...except you have this magic wand that can sometimes turn the tree into small patch of grass if you know the correct words... In my experience if it's difficult, then the approach is probably wrong.

I created an ssh terminal over browser back in the day (kind of like ajaxterm, but proprietary). I tried at least 4 different libraries over the years, but there would always be that one special device that refused to play ball. In the end

Just having an actually sane language (as opposed to Solidity) would do wonders. Does anyone here use Viper or similar in production?

Well, I doubt NSA are stupid. The question is more what their plan is to get the standards they want to be accepted. Maybe by exposing themselves and thus creating a better chance for secret allies? We'll need to wait for the next Snow

In my case also, unless I set the sound volume of built in speakers to 0. Since they are not connected anyway that solves it for me. It is still annoying that we have to put up with this though.

It was (is?) very powerful and at the same time very easy to use. Not sure about alternatives nowadays...

This just means that wrapper around C(++) code doesn't handle resources correctly. As you said, once inside Python you shouldn't care about object collection process. Nothing should lead to segfaults, in worst case you should get

I find setting up the environment a nice warm up routine that I wouldn't want to skip. Also, it takes just a few minutes, which is probably less than searching for that "template project" that I prepared those weeks / mo

What I'm waiting for is for foils to become useful. It doesn't make sense to (only) replace energy source, drag should be minimized too. Admittedly it will take a long time for technology to be ready for these huge ships though.

Thank you! I use 'git add -p' all the time, but didn't know the trick with commit. I am a sucker for nice commits so I will check every commit's diff multiple times. When I don't, I usually end up including pieces o

Not OP, but one of the most useful things about wkhtmltopdf is its ability to create an index page (edit: TOC) with references to all heading tags (<h1>,...). Is this something that can be done with ReLaXed?

You are taking the argument too far, but then you probably know it. It's just a "tamper-proof" ink for a reasonable price, nothing more, nothing less. It won't grow bananas or lemons, and GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) p

There are different kinds od technical debt. One should aim to keep abstractions simple, and to be able to refactor as quickly as possible. But that also means that the code should be manageable. Unreadable code is never a good thing, and w

Resource safety and expressiveness on level of Python (or close) combined with speed of C. That said, while I love the idea of Rust I find the language itself offputting somehow. I don't know, maybe I just need to give it another try.
