The mainstream response to this debacle is a bit incomprehensible. FTX was the antithesis of cryptocurrency; it was a centralised exchange, that was also trying to become a bank, and was AFAICT trying to kill DeFi [0]. The failure/succ

I don't think there's any point or future in the forks that simply change the block size or other similar parameters when the Lightning Network [0] exists (i.e. state channels). In fact, I can't think of a better choice than

Depends on what you mean by a lot. Thousands of hours? You might want that checked out.

Comparing it to the government's budget is probably much better ( https://tradingeconomics.com/el-salvador/government-budget-v... ), but it still doesn't seem _that_ big in comparison. I think it's safe to

I think it's a bit bizarre that someone edited his suicidal thoughts out ( https://academia.stackexchange.com/posts/190464/revisions )

This is a really good video (albeit a bit too long, could have cut it in half), shame people on HN can't tell satire from reality.

It seems to me that unfortunately there's a lot of "tesla man bad" going around, causing dubious stories to be spread before they're verified. You'll also see lots of people claiming Musk somehow broke employment la

I'm not sure whether the experiment is failing or not, but this is quite a biased article: They enlisted an entire country in a publicity stunt and cheered on Bukele even as he ordered mass arrests and packed the Supreme Court, whi

Anecdote, but all the female Haskell programmers I know of are trans (besides 2 people).

Is this a bad thing if it's accurate? Women are more well-behaved on average, no?

There's a 4chan post somewhere with a hypothesis about how people are subconsciously unable to discern between fiction and reality, even though they might be able to consciously, just as you describe.

Depending on the design of the hardware, you can limit its capabilities and e.g. prevent it from doing arbitrary read/write on RAM. https://www.pine64.org/2020/01/24/setting-the-record-straigh...

Nope, I meant what I wrote. You don't need an MMU, because you have no need for virtual memory or similar. Checking an integer is within some bounds is a much simpler problem, and in some cases the check can be elided through analysis

It is truly unfortunate that an ARM-based variant isn't available. When you don't care about single-core performance and compatibility, there really isn't much reason to use x86 at all. For me personally, my priority is by fa
