Is there any cryptocurrency that is not a PoS?!

Zigbee failed in a similar way, didn't it? An exceptionally complex protocol (for the intended usage) that left out a major interoperability aspect: the pairing phase. (BT fixed this partially by adding Secure Simple Pairing.) Wireless

Never understood this employer fixation on unbroken careers. A career break may happen to anyone by infinite reasons beyond motherhood. Most people have such career-pausing or career-delaying events (health issues, depression, fatherhood ,

Expectation: dirt-cheap, power-efficient and reasonably fast SBC computers so you can dedicate one per service (or form a cluster!). Reality: a RPI 4 costing as much as a whole Intel NUC, but slower, without upgradable RAM, without native p

This is because we live in a time of transition. Humans always try get the best of two worlds, XX humans are no different. Men need to learn to speak up. As I said in the other comment, I am moderately optimistic because some indicators are

But would you sleep better at night if you had a daughter, than if you had a son, because of that? To my son, I teach that there are no gender roles set in stone. If in doubt, stay single and childless; he has many, many decades to opt out

I have a son, and am moderately optimistic this has peaked already. As the other commenter said, we see different families in very different mindsets. I have been personally affected by sexism type B: was expected to work, to be a provider

Picked a ultrawide because some IDEs like XCode need a lot of horizontal real estate. My LG 34" is a bit limited in vertical size, so would buy a 38" or bigger next time. The 1080p resolution is limited but not a dealbreaker for m

It was just an example, a juxtaposition of "respectable" professsions/occupations vs the humble software engineer that now wants to be respected too. The doctors I know still make many times more than a software engineer with

Fact is, there are occupations that pay a nice salary in Brazil, even after conversion to US$, even with the current exchange. Brazil is not poor; lots of flashy cars on the streets, upscale bars and restaurants are shock full day after d

It is natural to certain extent, I did the same at that age. We have a lowpass filter that makes outstanding/outrageous facts (like H) difficult to believe. It takes a while to accept that we humans are actually capable of H, CP and ot

It's pretty much the opposite - have avoided the MS ecosystem for the last 20 years, but I know it is a luxury and it means leaving money on the table.

Started with a ZX-81 clone. The factor I liked most was the attention with the manuals, they really cared to teach the basics of programming, even low-level things, to the layman.

Let's suppose ivermectin has a weak positive effect. I am fine with the possibility. My doctor believed in that, he prescribed it, me and my family took it (my kid would take it anyway for other reasons). The big problem (in Brazil at

When people see they can't push you, or can't counterargue your point, they play the good manners card "you are being brutally honest".

In the 1990s, the idea of electric RC planes were ridiculed as well. I am moderately optimistic that 1:1 planes will eventually follow, as RC electric cars became "good enough" and 1:1 electric cars are a reality now.

Could be a myth or not, but it was said back in 1993 that a fire in a cresol chemical factory in Japan made DRAM prices to go up, which delayed the adoption of Windows NT. Semi related: Using some Unix flavor in PCs was a desire for many, b
