Agreed. I was half expecting this was going to be using Monero, one of the more popular privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies I know of that's already being used. E.g. the only cryptos I've seen people accepting on dark web markets ar

I can see some utility though. I'd love to be paid a penny at a time, and pay for things a penny at a time. I'd love for my income and regular bills to all be made into rates (pennies/second) rather than lump sums on some wee

Why isn't there a federated clone? This seems ideal for the fediverse. I think the server would just need to host your feed URLs, save a little read state info, and host your favorites/starred feed that other users can subscribe t

I've done it before. I asked if I could pay with BTC and my bank passed it up until they got word back from Fanny Mae that it was okay so long as you can demonstrate X years of ownership. I think they made a public announcement about i

As a backend Java developer working on projects built using Maven, I'm still trying to overcome this with the tool our regression team chose to standardize on for integration and regression testing: SOAP-UI.

We had to get Samsung to update their firmware to stop the 6,000 TVs we installed on a cruise ship from saturating the physically isolated 10GbE network with attempts to check for firmware updates.

That was my takeaway too. What games? I assume the author of the article wouldn't have recognized the names of any good board games.

I think of websites as just programs that run on a platform, a browser, which has a much smaller API than an operating system but effectively is one. On the one hand, these notices are akin to EULAs some programs make you click through when

Next to no unit or local testing. It's a Java monolith multiple teams work on at once and someone several steps removed from our team decided to set maven-surefire-plugin to fork for every test and not reuse forks in the POM all our pr

I guess that at the height of Windows market saturation. I thought it was rude to pay for an OS and then have to pay separately for software to protect that OS. It seemed off to me that the guy who wrote Melissa got jail time, but nothing h

Now I'm wondering if there's a power usage difference between the two. It stands to reason that if two operations take the same amount of time, but one requires more transistors to compute, power usage should diverge.

Given that performance is so close to the same, my only question now is whether there's a measurable difference in power usage between shift and multiply.

I'm really curious if you'd get the same results if you put the mask in a bag and sous vided it. People could do that on their stove with a pot of water and a thermometer.

I think password expiration came about before two-factor authentication was as easy to use as it is now. Security concern around password age would be mostly obviated by 2FA.
