They were targeting cryptocurrency people, not software engineers. And cryptocurrency people very often have an immensely inflated opinion of their own knowledge of economics, so it's actually absolutely perfect bait.

Are you expecting non-techies to be paying attention to an embedded TCP/IP stack, and also worrying that they think you are having too much fun?

IRC is missing a LOT of the features that make Slack actually useable for its purpose. IRC just isn't a replacement for Slack in most situations, due to its lack of things people take absolutely for granted. One massive one being keepi

It literally does negate all the purpose of a blockchain though. Blockchains do no not provide any value if you have a trusted party, they only make things less efficient.

Surely you must be aware that the point of an action like this is not the single action itself, in isolation, but the setting of a trend?

Unfortunately, in practice nuclear does still compete against coal. It would be wonderful if the choice was between nuclear and renewables, but that is not yet where we are. Nuclear is still the lesser of the two evils compared to coal and

The question of children is more complicated than that. Exposure to radiation can cause mutations in reproductive organs that persist long after the radiation is gone, and will be passed to your children.

The claim that external exposure to radiation does not make you radioactive is true in most cases. However, Chernobyl is not most cases. First, I'm not sure you can claim that people working during the disaster would only suffer exte

That still seems very clunky and also very inefficient compared to what I'd do in Swift: func isSuperset<Type: Equatable>(superSet: Set<Type>, actualSet: Set<Type>) -> Bool { return actualSet.contains

I can't help but feel you are dancing around the question, and are not really comfortable with the direct outcome of your stance, which is: You are arguing that killing innocent people is OK sometimes. You don't really seem willin

So answer the question. How many innocent people do you find it reasonable to execute per year?

gzip absolutely without doubt is technically poor in this day and age. It's an algorithm from 1993. That's 26 years of research into data compression it is missing out on.

Having checked the levels to see that they seems reasonable? Sure. Every steak you eat is radioactive. Every potato you eat is radioactive. To say nothing of bananas, one of the most radioactive fruit. You're eating radioactive things

Literally anything that is even a bit unusual works against general-purpose spambots. No need to have big complicated games and puzzles. But if a bot decides to target you specifically, all of these things are trivial to defeat. So once aga

All current popular protocols work by both sending and receiving data, even when you only want to receive data. So there is no reasonable way to have a receive-only mode.

Disabling background app refresh would break a lot of functionality a lot of users want in their apps. People used to complain endlessly when background app refresh didn't yet exist that it wasn't there.

LLVM IR is not architecture-independent. It encodes architecture and ABI assumptions, and is not portable. Also, this is not "JITed bytecode", it is compiled AOT.
