Those pools have thousands to millions of individual people just like you, who chose to join a pool to reduce the variance of block rewards. That doesn't mean they have any less share of the network. In general, if you have a community

Definitely do not touch Binance. Coinbase and Kraken are the most reputable options. If you're unsure, hire a professional. Think of it as paying 0.02% as insurance against mistakes.

These threads always leave me baffled. Some people say that only drug dealers use bitcoin. Others say the ratio of normal dudes to drug dealers is 1,000:1 or more. I guess it depends what sounds convenient at the time.

They would need 300 million wrenches, one for each citizen. That leaves society in a much better position than letting them do it at scale with an sql query.

Sadly no, despite how long they've been around, it's pretty rare for people to use gold or index funds to buy goods and services. They're worthless.

Those aren't B batteries, they're "B" batteries. You can tell because there's also a photo of a "C" battery that isn't cylindrical. There's a photo of an actual B battery here: https:/&#x2F

Yeah lol, as a rule anyone who makes comments like this knows nothing about finance and is just cosplaying as a trader. The real traders are content to be making money and don't feel they have to brag about it on internet forums.

What's the point of this comment? Zed didn't exist in 1998, so I think it's forgivable that Zed didn't support remote editing in 1998. It's pretty funny you'd comment this at the same time there's a thread

The minimum number of colleagues you could have had to arrive at those ratios is 400. Assuming you've had 400 colleagues, we can break down your ratios into: - 380 men - 19 women producing good code - 1 woman producing bad code I think

The same people who pay their payroll tax. Should we abolish payroll taxes too because some customers are poor?

A resistive heater just uses electricity, it doesn't emit CO2. So the user won't be taxed. The power company might be taxed, depending how that electricity was produced.

> Everyone gets taxed right? Yes, but your personal tax of $0.03 would be deducted from your $17 redistribution of Jeff Bezos's tax, so don't worry about getting yours, you'll still come out ahead.

Resource leaks have nothing to do with safety. That's true both for memory safety and i/o safety. See for yourself with `mem::forget(File::open(...)?)`

You missed the point. There are more OSes out there. If you had to relearn a brand new "full stack experience" for every OS just to ship a cross-platform app, you wouldn't have any time left for business logic. libcurl is gre

If it were a generated image there would be giveaway malformed/deformed letters, but these letterforms are immaculate. But yes in general it's a reasonable concern to have.

I've never seen an LLM typo a word in normal usage. Who knows if it's fake, but I highly doubt it's AI-generated.

Utilities should charge a separate connection fee and per-kWh rate if that's what matches the economic reality of their business. I don't see the summer abundance as an issue. It means we get to shut off the fossil fuels 8 months

If you think it's ergonomic to move your entire hand away from the letters to press a frequently used key, well... I guess now I understand why Odin's creator disagrees with you about keyboard layouts! ^_^

Funny you should say that. I don't find it painful at all, I prefer the explicitness. I just wanted to relay my experience without unnecessarily bundling my opinion, since this is a thread about Odin after all.

Moving your whole hand off home row to hit numpad * is even worse than shift-pinky.

What layout specifically is a problem? Odin uses curly braces which (in QWERTY) are shifted and typed with your pinky—the worst possible combination. Are there layouts where ^ is worse than that?

Yes, I know that and you know that. But GP wanted to install the package and move on with his life instead of debugging a connection that failed with no indication why on an unfamiliar OS. https://search.nixos.org/packages?c

I evaluated both some time ago. The standout difference for me was Zig requires you initialize all variables and struct fields explicitly, but Odin implicitly initializes variables and forgotten struct fields to their "zero value"
