Be careful not to over-generalize from personal experience... Maybe you've just met a few examples of lethargic, dependent narcissists who smoke a lot of weed? There is selection bias at play, as someone with an admitted negative perce

There are still many barriers to that "first class" status, taxes are mentioned most often. Taxes are paid in fiat. Holding non-stablecoins would add even more of a tax headache because you'd have to track capital gain/l

An investment is not a donation to your idea or cause. If you "need money to make it big" you can bootstrap, take donations, or look for investors. It's easier to raise investment than donations, because an investor expects a

Sure, it makes sense from an "imagine a world where..." perspective. Sounds convenient. I'm looking at it from a "why would any government on Earth choose to use a 'decentralized' blockchain as a source of trut

It is yet to be proven if it is "as secure" because no PoS network has operated at scale. It also certainly defeats much of the original purpose of decentralization when a few stakeholders have total control of the network because

A deed? You mean, a legal document which is enforced through a centralized power i.e. government.... What advantage is gained by tying it one-to-one with an NFT or storing it on a blockchain at all?

I'm not sure what you mean about "understanding" crypto, the concepts here are dead simple, there's not much to misunderstand. In this scenario it doesn't matter that you can transfer some coins from a DEX to your &

Some believe this is an intentional Ponzi scheme to print some money for the owners of Tether and Bitfinex, others believe they had good intentions at first, but through bad investment or otherwise got underwater, and started "investin

1. Bitfinex processes a USD deposit and dispenses USDT 2. USDT holder purchases BTC with it 3. Bitfinex purchases crypto (mostly BTC) with the USD, instead of holding it as promised Thus the original USD of the person buying BTC at the exch

The point is, a government can make it illegal to sell goods for crypto. As well as making it illegal to transact crypto anonymously. So unless you find some black market for all your material goods, you will be FORCED to "exit" s

Whether or not it's a DEX doesn't matter at all. In this hypothetical world of regulation which has made some BTC "tainted" through surveillance, it will always be in the BTC receiver's best interest to verify the c

I agree completely. I hate how different reading C++0x and C++17 is. I hate reading a "C++ style guide" for a new project. I already feel that pretty soon, "Python Style Guide" will be a necessary evil...

If you actually wanted a fair(er) comparison, you can filter your benchmarks by Python. People choose FastAPI if they want a Python web framework, there is little use in comparing it to Rust and C++ frameworks or whatever... That said, this

I have seen multiple indie developers successfully begin marketing on their unfinished / unremarkable prototype far in advance. In fact some of them get so popular they pivot into "I make videos of myself making games" instea

The narrative-pushing has been very strange. I have Reddit-addicted friends who told me the ONLY people who would lose money after all this would be the evil hedge funds, and every retail investor was bound to make a killing if they just HO

The only places where carbon capture is currently effective are very carbon-rich, like a billowing smokestack. The idea of a device like you propose is so far away, it's a pipe dream.

Definitely, you can still add custom classes where it is the best solution, such as a reusable layout. EDIT: Instead of custom CSS classes, Tailwind recommends extracting components like the other commenter pointed out. https://t

I guess it depends on the project, but I can't recall one time I've had to do a CTRL F like you've mentioned. Of course if you have a very simple page with just some cards, a couple page layouts, that is one thing. Probably c

This depends completely on the industry. Maybe a dev tools startup etc. would accept the Industry Leader argument, but Retail for example would never pass up the revenue opportunity by dropping IE11 support. I've always appreciated whe

Layout tends to be a property of a particular component, and semantic classes don't work well there either. In a complicated codebase with multiple devs, the number of times you could confidently make a "one-place-CSS-change"

There is no obvious benefit to the ISP to serve multicast packets (so some kind of regulation would need to be crafted to force them to do so) In a world where denial of service attacks are cheap and ubiquitous, my first thought is that ena

This is the reason for me as well. Many problems map very easily and readably to simple lists and dictionaries. The easiest example is web applications, especially internal ones, which are essentially shuffling JSON messages around from dif

This will be true for a long time - the design constraints are so totally different it would be foolish to use the same design in desktop and laptop systems. The most limiting thing is TDP, which in the highest performance laptop processors

Easy download would directly hurt engagement and ad revenue, with not much upside. Hosting video is costly and their only line of revenue is ads via repeated site visits .

I agree SHA-1 is a poor choice for signing git objects, for reasons that should have been obvious when it was implemented. Unfortunately I don't think the same developers who are assuming all hashes have some kind of magic security pro
