Look at the real word companies. It's not always the company with the best technology that wins. There are lots of different factors that influence that.

LOL. Usually "diamond hands" isn't used for the kind of holders that lose everything. But I really like those examples. Decreases the survivorship bias you have when this term is usually referred to.

How about not putting cash that you need to live into a deflationary asset you don't want to sell? There is no place on Earth where you need to spend Bitcoin to live. There is always another option. If you believe Bitcoin to be better

In a previous job many moons ago I was tasked with maintaining an application that used an Oracle DB with stored procedures written in Java. The server backend was naturally in Java as well so as soon as possible I ripped it out of the db a

Not exactly what you asked for but the "Designing for the Visually Impaired" episode of the Roguelike Radio podcast has a blind player play a roguelike. The intro has a bit of screenreading but the gameplay is starting at around 1

You can promote only specific warnings, for example -Werror=format. This way you can still use the compiler to stop you reliably from committing unwanted code constructs.

And for packagers of distributions this would mean your program breaks way more often than it should. I think it's a good idea to have -Werror on your internal CI build but not on by default for released tarballs. Especially not if you

You have to specify what kind of decentralization you're getting at. The distribution of ETH was less decentralized before the hard fork than afterwards. 15% of the whole supply in one hand is quite a concentration in the distribution.

Technically, there was no rewriting of history. Just a single (but very large) transaction was added to the consensus rules that (IIRC) replaced the TheDAO smart contract code. Given that this incident resulted in the Ethereum/Ethereum

Crypto finance and especially DeFi is tiny compared to traditional finance. The blast radius is still small without the regulations. But the regulations will come. Crypto finance is going down the same path that traditional finance did just

Not “anyway“ but because of the hack. TheDAO was done for after it was hacked. The code was too bad and trust was gone as well. That was clear pretty soon. The only thing to decide was if they would let the hacker get away with at the time

How is that different to traditional finance? Evergrande almost went belly-up as the prices of their real state fell sharply because they sold so much of it to cover their credits. The financial crisis from 2007 was because the collaterals

What I didn't know in the beginning (coming from Gentoo) was that Arch doesn't support updating specific packages. That explained some of my initial problems but I still have regular breakages. Right now my sound is broken and it

Arch is not something for people that want to just use their devices. It's something for people who love to tinker. Updates break something so often that I wonder if it somehow is sponsored by other OS developers to make them look good

I'm not sure how "New Evidences the Gospels were Based on Eyewitness Accounts" would support your claim "whether Jesus, Matthew, Luke, et al ever even existed" and that Christianity started out as Roman cult.

I meant the standard UI scroll bar. On iOS and Android you have no usable scroll bar. It is only a location indicator (which is of course completely useless on infinite scroll pages).

You’re using the browser scroll bar when reading the text of a page to scroll through the text? I’ve never heard or noticed anybody doing this. You must go crazy on infinite scroll webpages. I’m using the PageUp and PageDown keys for page w

On the desktop you can press the “End” key to jump directly to the last message. Navigating with PageUp and PageDown in a Discourse thread feels smoother than in a phpBB where you eventually have to hunt for the “next page” link.

No. Just no. It's cool that you are comfortable with it (or at least for 90% of what you want it to do) but it is such a unwieldy tool that it gets painful very quickly. As a curiosity for small projects it's okay. Seeing what&#x2
