And a lot of reasons it's terrible. Front and center is the number of transactions per second it can process. It's no where near being able to handle the volume of transactions that happen around the world.

I've been seeing a lot of content on the internet talking about what "backs" Bitcoin or why it's worth what it is. No one admits this simple truth that you just did. It worth what someone is willing to pay for it. End of

I live by reason and rationality and am also religious. I see "God" as Truth, or a consciousness that knows all truth, and that seeking truth, including natural laws/science, is equivalent to seeking god. The two do (religion

I thought that the primary feature of Thunderbolt was DisplayPort signaling. What makes it Thunderbolt vs USB-C if it doesn't have DP support?

I've never worked with a CTO that actually wrote code and I have worked with many that were not domain experts. The CTO is a manager, not an engineer. I'd be more interested in the skill of the developers themselves than the CTO.

I have 3.5TB backed up to Backblaze for $5 a month. I haven't found any other online backup option that provides anywhere near that cost. I use a RAID 1 to handle drive failure and also keep local backups on a NAS. BB is my third layer

Opera 12, with the Presto engine, had this same problem. It had a huge list of overrides (JavaScript and CSS) to fix problems with popular websites. This is inevitable when a browser has limited market share.

If one is using something like Uniswap to exchange crypto, you cannot go directly to Fiat, so people that want to sell a token or Ethereum will trade the asset for USDT and then later trade the USDT for another asset when the price has drop

My IDE stays open (I keep all the common projects I work on open and just switch between them as needed). I rarely reboot. Startup time is completely irrelevant.

This is not my experience at all. If anything, junior or mid developers that use IDEs rarely even use all the "advanced" features like inline debugging and source control features. The more senior developers maximize the value the

I've been using WebStorm exclusively on Linux with i3 for more over 3 years. I haven't run into any issues with it at all. Even the JetBrains Toolbox and automatic updates works fine.

I think this is the kind of content I need. One that presents a problem and allows me to figure out a solution. Can you recommend any other content like that?

Is it just me or do other people struggle to read these kinds of very technical books? It's not that I don't comprehend, it's that my brain finds it boring and hard to focus. I think I have trained my brain so much on rapid s

Define "real economic behavior". I don't see it as any different than buying and selling stock, unless you also consider that to not be real economic behavior. There's also loans and interest earning activities.

The first model of the recent generation was 2005, so it could be a 16 year old car. A quick check on Autotrader shows these cars selling for about $6500.

This is my experience with Dollar General when on trips and stopping for cheap snacks. Only the no brand generic items are cheap. Name brand items are not. Dollar Tree, on the other hand, every item is a dollar and it's possible to get

There are a lot of comments on here about crypto only being useful for criminal activity. The UN estimates that $1.6 TRILLION is laundered each year. The entire market cap of BTC is around $1.1 trillion. If crypto wasn't around, fraud

Back in the very old days, early 1980s, magazines like Byte would include games in the magazine in the form of code you had to manually type in and save. The ones I did were multiple pages of pure HEX. Later, magazines would ship with flopp

One way to answer this would be to find the largest (in terms of LoC) Bash script you can find and try to add a feature or fix a bug.
