Your argument would be stronger if you didn’t resort to epithets. Bitcoin was designed to be as decentralised as possible. It turns out this has serious downsides and it’s difficult to pursue the sort of financial revolution it aspires to w

This is correct, gains in ISAs are tax free and have no impact on cgt allowance. So if cryptocurrencies were a good investment an ISA would be an excellent place to hold them and convert gains to currency you can spend, but I don’t think an

Yes, it takes some initial effort, but it only needs to be done once. It needs to be redone for each platform every few years as apis and visual styles change. Cross platform libraries are notoriously hard and usually end up in the uncann

Not like other ngos, as I already pointed out. Also see the universal scheme - people don’t choose recipients. People didn’t ask for or need your direction on who to give money to, nor is watsi mutually exclusive with local charity or healt

I use watsi to send money to fund healthcare abroad in countries with less equitable systems than the one I live in (where taxes pay for universal healthcare, as they should). For me they’re a trusted partner who vets healthcare professiona

Lack of exceptions (in my code, but more importantly in library code) is one of the main reasons I use go.

I’ve used go for around 5 years on multiple large deploys without touching the reflect package. It is neither recommended nor necessary. Go is radically minimalist compared to other languages - it leaves a lot out, most notably inheritance.

So now your go stuff and foo stuff lives in different dirs based on which programming language it happens to use, not which project it is for. To you perhaps this is a non-problem, to others it appears to be and it is a recurring cause of g

Note src vs source in the original comment. Go forces you to change everything else to conform to gopath. I use go a lot and am used to it now but IMO that is a Bad Thing.

Looks like the output of pprof, so perhaps the slide means all calls to this function (when run 10000 times say during checking dependencies over a very large codebase), take 21 second in total, reduced to 4 seconds by storing the results o

Well imagine you use language foo, bar and go. Go insists all code lives in ~/go/src and foo insists it all lives in ~/foo/source. Neither likes symlinks, which one wins? Also people like to keep other artefacts alongsid
