   Is there a list somewhere of all the bitcoin forks? The wikipedia one doesn't seem to be up to date...

   At the guardian we use https://github.com/guardian/riff-raff It takes a build from your build system (typically team city, but not exclusively) deploys it and record the deployment. You can then check later what's

   Edit: as pointed bellow it's using filters. Sorry didn't see that If I understand correctly this "air purifier" is just shooting polluted air up, bringing cleaner air from above. That sounds like a very short term soluti

   I would agree, always start simple - unless you manipulate sensitive data - a shared secret is a good place to start (api-key or basic/digest auth) You can always introduce other forms of authentication later. I have a slight preferenc

   That would be great. I know nothing about low level programming, and I'm wondering if webassembly couldn't be a good place to start designing CPU instruction sets? Can someone more competent on the matter tell me if this idea is c

   We usually refer to the BIOS as a lower level than the OS. It's also possible to bridge from a higher level to a lower level, typically when flashing your BIOS, chances are you're doing it from the OS (it's usually possible t

    It potentially allows any language (C, C++, Rust, .NET, heck in the future maybe Java, Scala or anything you want) to be run inside a webbrowser, at near native speed. Because any language would be compiled to this intermediate form (wasm)

    I hope that we never reach the point where everyone buys an electric car. By then most big cities will heavily rely on a fleet of car pool, potentially self driving. That decreases the number of needed cars by an order of magnitude.

    If people were recycling and asking for change then the policies would be implemented. I guess it's a matter of taking our own responsibilities or not

    That story triggered a lot of angriness towards Mozilla. Maybe if instead we'd all give a bit of money to Mozilla they wouldn't be trying to do questionable promotional campaigns. You haven't lost my trust Mozilla, keep up th

    I've been through depression and this sounds like how I felt at many points in my life. Assuming I'm not simply projecting my feelings, there's a good news: the hardest for me was acknowledging I had a problem (which you just

    I thought BTC going above 10000 was the end of the bubble, but with announces like that it's just the beginning. Each time it grows I fear bigger damages... But I also hope I'm wrong and I'll be just proven to be a fool for n

    At least when you buy a share you literally own part of the company. If you were to sell all of it, including all the possessions of the company, you would still get a share. Because a company has a value. I'm still struggling to defin

    Such a great news! I'm looking forward DOM integration with wasm, and potentially a way to compile from scala native to wasm.

    Would that be a sign that people who understand these concept should participate more and debunk what's wrong? I'm sure we can all do with a bit of education here.

    I think it's actually fair to call it "battery" instead of "batteries" from the outside the system behaves like one.

    If my interpretation of the sound is correct, this is running on battery, not on an internal combustion engine. I may be mistaken but that's the first time I hear about Boston Dynamics switching to battery operated robots. That's
