Add WSL2 and it's pretty much there (if not better because of both worlds) and that's coming form someone who works exclusively nowadays on Mac, ChromeOS, and Linux.

I don't know how true this is. Windows Server is massive in the enterprise corporate world. My first job as a system tech was spent exclusively on Windows machines across numerous large companies, and I've worked at several compan

'More of a lisp' than other common languages is what I understand it to mean, not more of a lisp than Common Lisp or Racket.

I’ve never thought about that but yeah you’re right, that’s cool. I’m not a fan of Go’s imports either but this makes it make a little more sense to me.

I'm pretty sure - he was donating 50% of his salary at Jane Street prior to starting his current crypto endeavors and has pledged to donate basically everything over the next few years, of which he's already started. Initially sta

Interesting! I haven't used VMs in a while due to being fully sucked into the world of Docker, but isn't VM configuration at the point you can do something similar to a Dockerfile to run? Or is it easier to go from Dockerfile -&gt

Sam Bankman-Fried is the perfect argument against this. He went into crypto because of ethical reasons (to make a shit ton of money and donate it to the most effective charities and organizations, he's prominent in Effective Altruism c

Which is sad because the best engineers I've ever worked with or met was due to this space. Still slightly stung by Diehl's article on 'The Haskell Elephant in the Room' that attacked a load of my colleagues prior to h

As per usual, someone loosely understands one part of blockchain and - using the craziness that is "Web 3" at the moment - attacks the entire technology. > The cryptocurrency web3 starts with all our existing infrastructure. S

How many times have you known this to happen? And how are you currently preparing your company against a solar flare?

Yes! It’s a currency that’s probably closest to peoples intuitive ideas of what a cryptocurrency is. It absolutely can be used for criminal transactions but people who are very pro-privacy also argue for it.

Formal methods doesn't necessarily mean that you're building the right thing which catches quite a few projects out. I do really enjoy getting to work with them though :D

Essentially, at the moment, over-collateralized loans. Deposit $100 and borrow $90, if you pay back $95 by tomorrow you get your original $100 back. There's actually some really cool and complex financial instruments you can build by c

Monero is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. It obfuscates transactions while keeping the technical perks of a decentralized ledger.

It's basically saying the cap table is held 'offline', that is off of the blockchain, in a legally compliant digital place. There is then a copy of that cap table on the blockchain with a smart contract - an API if you will -

Cool! How would you like to open a private company and manage that, including accounts and taxes, for every song?

Oh f** off. You know what’s even more damaging? Social networks impact on democracy in Western countries. Data mining from big tech and the impact on an individuals right to privacy. Making systems deliberately addictive which is highly lik

In my first job as a system tech for an IT company in 2014 we had a backup process run at 17:30 and whichever admin left last would take the backup HDD with them home lol. It worked! There was also onsite redundancy with replicated windows
