The needs aren't very exotic. You can use them any time you need to do multiprocessing, a common example is building a daemon to process a queue in parallel with multiple workers. Also, the pcntl functions don't provide multithrea

5 out of the 6 people who interviewed me at Amazon had foreign accents. Do Americans just not go into tech anymore? Are there not enough? Do they ask for too much money? Are they too lazy? Are they not smart enough? I don't understand

You're right that most Americans have a poor grasp of finance and capitalism - they don't teach it in school. Maybe if more people learned what the game is then they'd play it.

Because its a public, verifiable data structure. That's not to say it's perfect, it's subject to 51% attacks so yes votes could possibly be discarded in that case.

For tallying results, trust has to be placed in the people and/or machines tallying the results. With a blockchain-based system, every voter would count everyone else's votes

I've noticed similar things. One of the things that bugs me the most in my organization is that managers (product owners, non-very-technical VPs) there's a push to split larger items into bite-sized chunks which can be neatly dist

pubg was bound to be a flash in the pan. i don't know how they would be able to fix it short of completely reworking it. 10 minutes of looting, then rip after getting shot from across the map

getting JUSTed now means getting scammed... it comes from the Tron founder Justin Sun [1]. All he does is announce partnerships, real or fake (basically all fake up until this point), to pump his coin and quickly sell it off. Looks like thi

That makes sense. I haven't played in a hvh since 1.6 so I'm not up to date on the current scene. Back then, if you had the better cheats you basically outright won, it was an arms race rather than a competition. Good times!

by gnarcoregrizz 8y ago
Neat. I used to love the hack vs hack servers. The cheats were a bit more primitive back then, so I imagine hvh isn't as fun nowadays since all cheats are very advanced... I remember when xqz2 first came out - the first opengl-based cl

Individual cryptocurrencies are inflationary or deflationary depending on their algorithm. Monero, for example, has a 2% tail inflation built in to account for lost money and an expanding economy. Inflation can also be tweaked or changed ba

Not quite the same thing, but there were a lot of cheat-only servers in counter-strike in the 2000s with anti-cheat turned off (it's optional if you run your own server). Since it was all cheats vs cheats, whoever had the best ones won

Amazon wouldn't even EXIST without those highways which are "in a constant state of disrepair and congestion." It's fair to say that their delivery vehicles are making it worse. Maybe some of his wealth should be used to

Wow. Since Amazon's IPO in 1997 (21 years ago), that's like earning $227/sec, $13k/min, $817k/hr, $19m/day, 7.2b/year, and, 150b/21 years. To put it differently, you could either hire jeff bezos for a

The 2% growth thing is the biggest mistake. It should follow the CPI or some other inflation metric. That way, you are taxed on the fair market value, but the growth follows the market. It's still not fair, but it is better than what i

Airdrops don't seem like a complete solution to me. If someone sells a lot of stolen/hacked tokens, it still decreases the value of the airdropped tokens, since there's absolutely no recourse once the stolen ones are converte
