Here's an adventure: https://strava.app.link/EYaQIX7uDcb Generally, the best way to find bike routes in Japan (or most countries) is to ask Google for car directions and avoid highways and toll roads. But this time, it

Sure, but all it takes is centralized one on-ramp that will take you, then you can transfer out of it. That's a big difference from having your funds in a particular exchange, where it may be seized. I agree with the UX problem. I thin

PayPal and similar services already salt their "guaranteed exchange rates" quite a lot, so it will be interesting to see how much they tack on for these very volatile assets. Also, wen stablecoins?

There are always decentralized exchanges. I think eventually people will get used to the UX of handling their own keys and prefer it over keeping their coins in exchanges. Either that, or banks will start doing crypto custody and government

It almost sounds like this book is the reason we so often hear and talk about the imposed hierarchy between "pure" and "applied", and that "mathematics is a young man's game". Did it have a huge impact? Or

Question to all the non-swedes: why do you find this interesting? Is it the play on words? War propaganda in general being interesting?

I fully agree, but I still think it's good that people learn how to code. Why? Because it's good to know a little bit -- just a wee little bit -- about how computers work. And while you could just get a good description from a boo

The final suggestions are good, much better than "why didn't you just". The problem comes when your initial thought is actually a good idea, and your colleague could actually have saved some time. This happens a lot in the in

Timezones. Only time we can meet is end-of-day in Europe and early morning in the US. Hard to do fast ping-ponging on pull requests and design choices without me staying up late. But a big pro is no messages before 3pm,lots of time to focus

It's also an instruction in WebAssembly, which has a pretty sparse instruction set. There are only 29 integer operations, and this is one of them. There are also "clz" and "ctz" which count leading and trailing zero

AFAICT the model seems fitted to historical data, and fit well. I'd be curious to see if they or anyone else kept tracing events using the model to check its predictive ability.

Thanks for the feedback. I wrote this post and I would like to clarify: I did not intend to say that we should go outside of the confines of the law here and lynch anyone. But I sincerely hope that our legal system has the power to punish g

I like how you dropped the name of the "big consulting company" in the end, there.

This wasn't much of an answer to "how", just restating that "we have a way to do it, we promise!". Could you give some explanation as to why it would be close to impossible to create enough reports to have them acti

I clicked this fully expecting "yam", "cultivate" and "cook" to be archaic Unix tools. Instead I got this. Such a happy surprise.
