> Our current fiat system is not perfect but by far the most stable system we have. ROTFL. Have you taken a look at inflation lately? Are you aware that the number of US dollars in existence has gone up by at least 40% since the start of

Indeed. Trading floors. ATM networks. Primary and secondary data centres. Sky scapers in the financial district. Etc etc. That shit all needs power too. For as long as that shit is actually needed.

If you told me that, I'd give you the +1. But Karabiner Elements doesn't work on my Arch box. I have a udev rule that does the ESC mapping, but will have to try harder to see if I can make it do that on Linux.

Fuckers. This is a big deal IMHO and the CEO is trying to brazen it out. Big fail as far as I'm concerned. What should I use instead is now the burning question.

I think maxis like Saylor think that the L1 bitcoin network will become one where fewer big blocks are traded (like gold transactions) rather than where daily payments are running. The tx fees will become bigger too. And L2s like lightning

Just deep enough to get the job done. This requires that you have a real practical job to do in the first place. Rinse and repeat with more and more difficult tasks.

Not as bad as you might think. If you have a longer time horizon, you know that the war in Ukraine will end, Putin will cease to be on the world stage, grain will flow again from Odessa, Europe's dependency on fossil fuels (Russian, or

Like how to move an opportunity on from one phase (prospecting) to the next phase (qualification) when you customer is reticent, or unconvinced, or tardy. This should be done without being pushy, but, with careful techniques, the sales cycl

This. I have exa and rg and fd all installed but unlearning the find and grep muscle memory is hard. Occasionally I give the newer stuff a go and then end up stumbling over syntax differences and end up just going back to what I know.

Not great. They generally only have a veneer of knowledge and lack the depth of understanding algorithms, bigO, data structures, etc. There are always exceptions but I generally try to steer clear unless I just need someone to knock out CRU
