I've been part of r/EthTrader that is one of the subreddits that has this feature and had it for about 2 years now. Dynamics within subreddit members got so bad that the subreddit split, and now almost all the action happens in r&

Delightfully meta. I'm really loving some of these words, and might seriously consider using some of them.

MetaMate, your logo looks exactly like MimbleWimble logo, just with W flipped to become an M. Not cool.

You can also do "plain shirt", but the repo is making a message about the smartness of our search engines.

The game I like to play, Destiny 2, suffers from a lot of cheaters. Players don't complain about too much anti-cheat: they complain about too little, and urge Bungie to adopt stricter controls. Many wouldn't even think twice about

I don’t find this convincing at all. Proposed system is incredibly privacy-conscious, with all the control of self-reporting left to the user. Let’s not stop this initiative that protects health and safety of societies that can trust their

Specifically to make it "good enough", CC0 was created: > CC0 helps solve this problem by giving creators a way to waive all their copyright and related rights in their works to the fullest extent allowed by law https:/&#

Looks interesting! I'll echo some other comments about the visual noise. From what I can see, each person has their own color and it is stable across contexts. It's a curious design solution. There are certainly some things gained

Safari already was lagging behind Chrome, Chrome forks and Firefox in a lot of feature adoption. This will only make it more of a "new Internet Explorer", a browser that sites recommend you NOT to use.

Anybody know what happened to Stage? Google acquired two great tools, Form and Pixate, and announced[0] that they are building a prototyping tool from both of these teams. That was the last we heard about Stage. [0]: https://desi

It's an ok release. Occasional "This app wants to access your Desktop" notification is annoying, but otherwise very few problems. Also, I barely used iTunes before so can't say how much would I find missing in Music.

Compound is a lending protocol. Maybe because lending happens in cryptocurrencies you want to classify that as gambling — but then there are actual gambling smart contracts, and also you can do lending in stable cryptocurrencies that are mu

Crypto space if indeed full of scams, due to a poisonous combination of money, hopeful returns, and a degree of anonimity. But I find the concept of dapps fascinating. I could even make a prediction that early dapps might eventually become

So perhaps _why references are just a celebration of his legacy.

Quil[1] project clearly references _why and seems like something _why would create. I’d be curious if he was involved. [1]: https://github.com/quil/quil

Unrelated, but this comment has a very nice HN id, 22222222 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22222222 ). And that happens almost on 2020-02-02. Congrats.

Updates themselves are an assumption. I imagine a large percentage of cafe checkout and meeting room booking tablets are never updated once installed. The distinction here is Appliance vs Computing Platform. And so far many tablets are seen

The issue with each of these examples is that hardware advancements barely matter. $200 Android tablet with a simple enough design works just as well. Apple doesn't want to participate in such markets. That's why they try to push

I am not working for a bank, and this lack of work so far did not contribute to me gaining quant knowledge. I don't think your advice is very useful.

A good 30 minute podcast discussing this topic is Episode #164 "Meaningless Version Numbers" of Under The Radar podcast with Marco Arment and _David Smith. During this episode Marco explains his decision to switch to YYYY.MINOR.MI

Naming things is hard. Current name is relative to current date because it talks about an event 4200 years ago. Any literature discussing this will be stuck with this relative name and eventually will become incorrect. I understand why they

The meaning of words change. Selfie used to mean a self-taken photo of yourself. Now people call every photo of a person a selfie. ASCII used to mean a specific encoding, but its most widely known usage was in ASCII Art. And so the meaning

The humany truth is that public bets, particularly long bets, are less about making profit and more about stating your view boldly and publicly. Within this context opportunity costs barely matter.

Yeah, it's clearly a knockoff. They even borrowed the idea of having five red, dot-separated letters above the screen. S.U.P.E.R. probably means nothing, but if Casio has it, Kenko must have it too.

I love the small detail that "Buying the site" is recommended as "Our Choice". Hilarious copywriting.
