I tried few years ago, and it didn't fit my needs. Just tried again : - must sign up to use the application - impossible to select several items to mark them as read/unread (possible in Aggregator, and I can't live with

So far RSS is unmatched for me. I started with Netvibes when I was a teenager, then I stopped for some years, then I installed Aggregator on Android a to be able to follow RSS feeds again. I'm looking for a smarter RSS reader on Androi

I confirm some Reuters articles just disappear after opening the page. Been doing that since the new redesign, a few days ago. We are witnessing the slow death of Reuters.

From what I read about Chia, the marketing is the exact opposite : most people have unused storage space, and they will never use it (phones and computers). The Chia network proposes to make that free space more "useful".

How one does explain that the price of Ethereum follows the price of Bitcoin, while both networks are separated, and follow a different roadmap?

In this case, wouldn't the value be multi gigabit, not the key?

In addition to other comments : advertising. Imagine having to watch, or listen to an ad before you can join a channel. Imagine contextual ads in-between text messages.

Today I browsed Google from my desktop PC about "Gundam" (the japonese anime) for about 1 hour. Pretty niche topic. Then when I was done, I closed all browser tabs, I unlocked my smartphone to check Instagram, and the second ads I

Since Reuters stopped its RSS feed, I found an interesting alternative : Aljazeera English. Aljazeera English has almost the same content than Reuters (like literally, exact same articles words by words), has RSS feed, and also has interest

AP News has no RSS feed. Aljazeera English on the other hand has almost the same content than Reuters (like literally, exact same articles), has RSS feed, and also has interesting news about Africa, Asia and Middle East.

In my opinion, no, it makes no sense to write ML in C++ : - Python allows for higher level description of algorithms, which means researchers can focus more on the ML stuff and less on low level details. - There is no performance gain in go

How I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong : All transactions are visible, sure, but Bitcoin also enables mass dilution and mass money washing. Let's say there is a bitcoin address A on which you have identified that 50%

Telling people "just use flatpak and you are safe" is plain wrong and dangerous. Containers are _not_ safe, that's why Amazon created firecracker, and Google created gVisor. Containers are a _convenience_, not a security meas

Flatpak is backed by Linux containers, which are not designed to be secure against hacks. Flatpak (like Snap) is a convenience to distribute and install apps, not a security protection.

Technically it doesn't just prevent from selling SaaS. It prevents from selling SaaS without having the consent of the open source project first, which means negotiating a deal.

The whole point of WASM bytecode is that it doesn't need to be reviewed. The worse it can do is "stealing" your CPU time, but WASM was specifically designed to safely run third-party programs in the browser

How do you know it is the full data, and some of it was not removed ?

Same. The only useful addition was type hints. Now, every two releases they add a "language feature". Some library maintainers jump in the bandwagon, and WOOSH! : half the ecosystem depends on CPython to run. Bye Jython, Cython, P

True, because that was already a hard problem by itself. And it got even worst with the recent additions.

Doesn't Vitalik/the dev team own the "Ethereum" name, which means they decide what get called "Ethereum" ? If there are two versions of the chain, because of a 51% attack or a fork, there always will be only on

Wouldn't it be possible to create a new type of index in Postgres (or maybe it already exists) which would take all the data of a column and simply lays it out in columnar format in memory, with all the benefit of compression ?
