I had wrist/hand pains twice, especially during using mouse, and in both cases, it was my own fault. The first time, I think, it was because of me over-using AC during the commute. It would blow on my hands, and it struck me as a possi

How pointless. The whole point of Bitcoin was to have uncensorable, decentralized asset that can be used to exchange value without any trust etc. That is the only reason we endure this utterly shitty and inefficient blockchain thing, and we

The whole reason why Ethereum is "outpacing" Bitcoin is easiness of taking money from clueless "investors" that feel like they missed the boat on becoming rich through Bitcoin. https://medium.com/@WhalePa

There's a crate for that. `nix` crate has `signalfd` support. I have recently used it to implement terminal resize in TUI text editor, all in one event loop (`mio` crate).

No language can fix mistakes, but in Rust if you have a() calling b() which calls c(), there is no way* that c can jump to a without any indication of it in b. You at least need to have `?` somewhere in b. I consider it a really good thing,

Same here. I'm very happy with it. I picked it because of the price and good Linux users reviews. I do most of my work remotely on my powerful desktop anyway (ssh + tmux + vim). The mate screen is the sweet bonus, as it's hard to

This is quite popular in Poland for electricity. It makes a lot of economic sense. Same with Internet. Back in the days I had a plan like that, where Internet would be faster and wouldn't count towards your quota if used in the night.

The only thing that I find great about Go is the fact that you can write, normal, imperative, blocking-io-like code dealing with about anything (network, file, any io) and get a service that can handle 10k concurrent connections without thi

If D had in-language-integrated Fibers like Go does it would be just better in every aspect. Native-fast code, fast compile, powerful generic and meta-programming. It was trying to be better C/C++ but should have instead push where Go

We need to switch dump pipes to be dumb content-addressable p2p pipes with maidsafe, ipfs, dat, or anything like that, and most problems that CDNs are trying to solve would disapear.

> In a language like python, you can start running your program instantly and push dealing with bugs as far back as possible. Which is often never. Part of the reason why I avoid using anything written in Python.

Small stacks used for goroutines don't play well with calling C functions which assume huge stacks. That's price you pay for having nice scalability story. There might be other issues, which come from the fact that Go has elaborat

The biggest thing is: I don't know where. I moved to US 3 years ago, and while I find Bay Area to be very expensive, and not necessarily perfect for family life, I have no idea how would I like living in other places.
