I don't think anyone with any credibility says things like this unless they are either capable of manipulating the price (or know someone who is, and who will), or unless they are trying to hype it for short term gain.

Unless one has the ability to manipulate the market, I can't see how it's possible to separate actual potential from hype, scams, and other unreliable info. Every year there's press about someone saying this will be the year

Nice reply. In my case, I'm already an effective amateur at Clojure, but I only use the repl for testing ideas and debugging. In the same way there are guides that teach TDD, I would enjoy seeing a RDD (repl-driven ...) tutorial.

This article helps us understand what real repls enable that interactive language shells do not. What would be very helpful next would be a video comparison of writing a program that is just complex enough to not be trivial or too artificia

Unless this is retroactive, won't it just secure the special place existing rich have with their anonymous shells?

That would unfortunately be about as useful as the cookie notices - practically every website intentionally or unintentionally includes or references javascript in some way, so the browser would always give the notice.

There was a time when a socialite at a party, knowing their audience well, could bring a story of news having just the right delivery to engage most of the others while elevating their own status within the group. Nothing wrong with it, rea

There are many excellent youtube videos of people doing long solo hikes through beautiful lands. Those can also be a nice escape, especially while having a lunch break "at work" (at home).

Perhaps you can inform Apple that amphetamines are not necessarily illegal, and are in fact prescribed to treat many problems including narcolepsy.

It also depends on how you implement the state machine. If you're constrained by memory or performance (or playing golf), then you may end up with code like TFA. But if you're implementing in a typical app, you can obviously orga

No, but NoScript approaches each new site with javascript disabled. You have to manually allow it after you arrive. But when you arrive to a completely blank content area, you may be left wondering if the page simply hasn't completed

It would be nice if there was a no-javascript fallback - at least a message saying "This site only works with javascript enabled." If you have noscript, this site is completely blank until you enable a couple of things and reload.

Shamelessness is a bit like alcohol: it amplifies the characteristics of the subject. This can be a good thing when it allows a good talent to be expressed, orit can be terrible if it allows a broken person to spread destruction upon other

My work laptop is a 2018 or 19 i5 13" MBP with an Intel GPU. It sometimes feels slower than my old MBP (i7 with Nvidia 680 or somesuch GPU). I doubt the CPU difference is the issue, but perhaps there's enough GPU difference that

I've been using a 2013 MBP since early 2014. I did replace the battery and trackpad, but it is otherwise original. It still works very well, and in many cases it is as fast or faster than my i5 2019 work MBP. In any case, I would not

Two spaces, like the Oxford Comma, reduce ambiguity and aid in visually parsing text information. As a side benefit, that extra space can help software identify a sentence vs a line which contains something like Mr. Bob. With a two-space s

I too use it on an older (2014) mbp, and it is fine for Rubymine. I highly suspect the performance problems some people experience are due to plugins. When I was doing some Elixir/Phoenix work, the Elixir plugin made it unusable somet

I suspect one big problem for Google is the ignorant politicians and lawmakers/enforcers who think that the dissemination of information which _could_ be used for illegal activities is akin to the promotion of such activities. And sinc

If bitcoin is still in circulation, then proving is easy. If it is a relic, and something of interesting collectible nature, then it would be like proving your tablet IOU from the BC times is legit. But in any case, most users have a hard

Unless a collectible also provides some emotional or intrinsic (such as gold, which is used in manufacturing) value to the holder, it is essentially a vehicle in a ponzi scheme. Once the market of interested collectors dries up, the value v

Finite in the context of collectibles thus far tends to mean "a small few". Even if it means "quite a few", it's still an absurd stretch to say that 21 million is the kind of finite that makes for a collectible.

by blunte 6y ago
These are bad comparisons. Other collectibles are tangible; Bitcoin is invisible. It will take effort to prove that you indeed do have one or more of the "finite" (21 million is a big finite when it comes to collectibles) bitcoin

There are plenty in power now who would disagree with your definition of economy. Sometimes law and policy is ignorant of technical concerns, but quite often it is aware and simply has a more selfish agenda. Prime example of this is modern

If TFA could find them online, then collecting and displaying all that public info is not doxxing.

TFA could make a small paid course walking a dev through the process of setting all this up and using it effectively. I would buy it.

Many thanks, this does work. I do see a momentary flash of pinterest results, but they quickly disappear (and subsequent matches are re-tiled up). Good enough!

It's also another example of how modern tech companies are broken (or lacking ethics). Currently, many big tech companies do basically whatever they want. Facebook and other ad companies have been caught knowingly defrauding ad spend

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I added these two, and then I did a search on images.google.com for "custom carved door frame". 5 of 7 images on the first row of results was some pinterest site.
