Plex is actually a (significantly diverged) fork of Kodi (then called XBMC). They might not share any code at this point.

/r/beneater is a nice companion to Ben Eater's YouTube channel. It's mostly people helping others build their 8-bit CPUs and others showing off their improvements and extensions.

What data were you looking for? geth provides a JSON RPC interface. Ethereum is general purpose so you'll need to know how a particular contract works to get information out of it but some contracts adhere to standards like ERC-20. Eth

I'm curious how this works. As I understand it, Bitfinex would have do this by not broadcasting the transaction to the network and instead keeps it on a single miner and it gets included when the miner snags a block but how does that h

It used U-235 then switched to U-233 bred from thorium in a separate reactor (but still partially testing the thorium fuel cycle). They did this to simplify the design by not needing to incorporate the breeding elements into a novel new rea

Falcon 9 was a direct extension of Falcon 1. New Glenn shares almost nothing in common with New Shepard. They don't even use the same fuel or engine.

I burned through 3 SD cards (even "endurance" SD cards) before I finally switched to an NVMe over USB for my HA RaspPi. I highly recommend the switch even if you aren't having card failures. The performance improvement alone

Ethereum's current energy intensive Proof of Work is not used to run the smart contracts. It just secures the blockchain, same as Bitcoin. The smart contract execution power requirements are basically non-existant compared to that.

Yep. I use it often. It doesn't do profiling but building and debugging works fine (though I still prefer VS proper). I use VS on Windows, VS Code on Mac for the same code base. I have for decades in the former and years in the latter

That's what people say but we produce many orders of magnitude more toxic chemical waste which is dangerous forever. The fact that nuclear waste becomes safe over time almost seems like an advantage (over other forms of waste at least)

Yeah, it's just the geography that causes it. It's enclosed on three sides by the Wasatch, Traverse, and Oquirrh mountains which causes cold air to be trapped there. The Salt Lake metro area isn't much different from other ci
