I have a printed book on AspectJ. Pretty sure it's past its "useful lifespan". As technologies age, so do anything that talks about them.

Plot twist: OP already found it and is planning his move. Seriously though: what is this "seed" and what would its disclosure mean for bitcoin?

Alternate perspective: if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Cooking when/where energy is scarce. Very useful to save on fuel while camping, for example. Also, I suppose, next time the electric grid is down and you want to cook on battery.

That, and GDPR. Damn I'm so glad I live in the EU. Say what you will about those annoying cookie banners, I see that as good things. Progress is made!

The cheapest electricity source is the one you already have: fossil. Also, what good is the added capacity if it's being used up by bitcoin? Everything you pour into btc isn't going into an EV. But so you think using more energy w

You're not seeing the big picture: what's the point of generating more electricity, if it's all wasted on creating useless bitcoin? Shouldn't we be capturing co2 or warming up children in need instead?

"Precious"? Bitcoin is nothing more than bits on a storage and wasted energy. Just like fiat money is nothing more (nowadays anyway) than metal coins, in the best case. I see how bitcoin can help countries with rampaging inflation

Yes, but they are...better built than your quick social network poll application thingy with customer's special sauce that you had 5 days to specify, develop and deploy. C is a tremendous tool, but I don't think it's the best

Bitcoin is the most _wasteful_ money on the planet.

It is a possible attack though, isn't it? Even with a fully encrypted disk with LUKS, someone could replace your boot manager with a tool to capture your encryption key. For most people this will be a non issue: the cost of such an att

So hang on! We named bugs so because we discovered actual bugs in the early computers (in the eniac, I believe) Should we rename timeouts to "cats"? "I tried pinging your website, but I had a cat"

We developers are responsible for preventing that kind of obsolescence, and ultimately have the power to have a sizeable impact on bigger issues like climate change, pollution or even people dying in mines. Use boring tech, people.

Quick self-test is 8€ here in Belgium. Are we being ripped off?

Converting the CR2 (Canon) to DNG tends to double or even triple it's size, but I haven't tried compressing it afterwards. I should, as you suggest, test a more exhaustive list of formats, who knows...

Doesn't ffmpeg support hardware encoders like Nvidia's nvenc or Intel's idontrememberthename? Aldo AMD, most likely. I know Handbrake supports it, as I used it for my productions in the fast. And I think handbrake uses ffmpeg

I would love to have something to compress the raw files from my camera. They're huge, I have to keep a ton of them, and I also need to transmit them over internet for my backup. I tried a few standard compression format, with very lit

Oh, the history of Rome. Don't know about this particular podcast, but the history is absolutely amazing and 1000% worth reading/listening about. I've always hated history lessons at school. But the history of Rome was amazin

I agree with this, though it depends on what you're learning and what you already know. For example, I do not care for videos about code. I'm experienced in that domain and I want to get right into the meat of things: scroll to th
