here is a reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1nq3vk9/proton_mail_r... the proton mail team claimed they will write a technical writeup soon

Yeah no mention of how it would effect marine ecology is bad, but the avg startup/mega-corp doenst care see how far people are trying to make deep sea mining legal, even with its obvious implications of destroying the sea

Correct me if im wrong, but isn't the pain points for mobile devs, the need to have intimate knowledge of both pl to build & maintain a good "backend/functionality" of the app over time and that the UI portion of the

idk google is so flaky, one must not forget that they had the llm concept first and couldnt really materialize it into anything commercial until chat gpt came around. Google often could dominate a market, yet they kill the product/tech

apple is quite smart with this, there was a time when people thought they were dumb for not buying up tesla and ultimately shutting down their self driving division, but now it seems like a good bet.

Thats so interesting to me, I always assume companies like google who have "unlimited" dollars will always be happy to eat the cost to keep customers, especially given gcp usage outside googles internal services is way smaller com

Ive only used ruby a handful of times, so my comment might be ignorant. But other than community , what does ruby and ror do better than say elixir & phx, i feel like the latter is leagues ahead simply because nothing can compare to the

call me naive, but I thought game pass was going to be used as sort of a loss leader and gives them the avenue to build out other things like in the azure side of their business or cloud gaming etc

I agree on the current admin being pro grift and just extracting as much as they can, but crypto works because it overwhelms the system, if a million people rushed a military base at the same time no matter how great the defense is, the bas

ik alot of people on here hate crypto, tether has been making billions each quarter for the last few years. I dont think there's any more real thought to this, than the genius act providing a framework and cf trying to get easy money T

regulation from the US side sounds open with the genius act, plus the current admin is pro crypto. Regulations from other govs dont matter as they will just "geo block" countries that dont allow it and users will just bounce into

There is a category called incremental reading,you can find more elegant techniques if you look into it. My method is more primitive, I first get a simple overview of the topic (LLMs are great at this). Once I have a feel , i flick through

I found it really great for quickly learning contents of a paper or books, my only gripe with anki is the integration between desktop and mobile, especially if you dont opt to sign in and getting things to sync was a pain in the ass. Hell e

yep, its always funny to come across a company that uses it. For me the latest one was tubi, ive heard truth social also uses it not 100% sure. Sometimes I wonder if they're quiet about elixir praise is because the technology just work

Im on the same boat and this is coming from someone who loves the beam thanks to elixir, I think the marketing of the lang threw me of a bit. But I might give it a try this week, as im feeling a bit burnt out with elixir earlier this week I

ngl you are not wrong, I've never thought of it like that. Is there an argument that it can never really be regulated? sure if the US gov stops circle from buying treasury bills & you cant get a stable usd, whats stopping you from

it depends, regulators can still force validators to censor. I have kept up with the scene in a minute, but i remember builders and even some wallets were dropping tx from tornado cash because of some compliance issues, dont think the trump

it says its an evm clone, so it may not be like solana. Im shocked they didnt go the l2 route like many seem to do. They might pull a bsc with a limited number of validators and just make the stake requirements stupidly high and wink wink t

I am the same but for elixir, the beam is awesome & I always wonder why it still hasn't caught on with all the success stories. The actor model just makes programming feel so simple

by garbthetill 1y ago
yeah the claim is ambiguous because the beam itself is only guaranteed soft real time, leaving it open ended might make ppl think hard real-time especially since its hardware

Thanks for the great read, so much to unpack from that article the click fraud stuff is to be expected, keeping track of everything that goes through their proxy is also expected, but copying files is crazy and this could unravel to a class

hola vpn is such an interesting case of a money printer, host a simple vpn and present it as free, give the users datacenter ips that are easy to detect. meanwhile you get their precious residential ip's and print millions a month

This is cool, I thought of something similar, didnt know someone implemented it and the swizz like bank note design is neat. but its still has flaws imo and just makes it a novelty rather than something practical or useful, for example unle

Yep, Apple is great at this. There have been times when random Android phones were ahead feature wise, but this doesn’t cause Apple to lose its customer base, even when Apple releases the same feature 2–4 years later. The same thing happene
