Blockchain is a very poor and extremely expensive database . All it's good for is timestamping documents, and it's still expensive at that compared to systems with a central authority. The difference between the two uses is tha

What exactly will be solved in healthcare with secure document timestamping?

I'm definitely not giving to somebody else my /var/log/mail.log, IMAP/Mutt access, sieve rules, nor ad hoc dedicated aliases for every website account I create. And on top of that, I would land on some US-based serv

As I said, Gmail is opaque with regard to its spam detection. As for your help offer, thank you, but I'm good. It's usually other people who want to contact me, I rarely send the first message ever.

Hosting one's own e-mail server is a totally opaque random crapshot. You may not have any trouble, but some other dude or gal will get their e-mail marked as spam without any way to tell what exactly is wrong and what to change.

On the other hand, REST allows exactly what changes to the API that don't require modification of remote clients? Because hypertext only allows to move boundaries where data is split into chunks returned at one call, not how the data l

If you're trying to solve problems caused REST not being a protocol, why not settle with defining -- or better yet, using an already defined -- protocol? Really, there were plenty of good RPC protocols, starting with XML-RPC and a li

What if? It would be very, very surprising result, given that what voting needs and what blockchain gives are quite different lists of properties.

For configuration you very much do not want Turing-complete language -- or any programming language, for that matter. Configuration quite often is processed by more than just the original program it was intended for, so plain data dump is

You're right, signal delivery does not interrupt an atomic operation, so if a syscall takes unusually long time (like network filesystems sometimes cause), the process hasn't received its SIGKILL yet .

Oh, but I did preserve the structure. It's OP who doesn't understand how this grammatical construction works, and this particular mistake irritates me so much.

If you rely on a stepping debugger, you're fscked anyway when you step outside of desktop applications and websites. Logs and trace dumps (tcpdump/strace like) are what works almost everywhere.
