Then it wouldn't be at 2008 levels anymore. The problem is that miners have so much power today.

Yeah, and the truth is Bitcoin doesn't have negative impact on the world. Miners do.

Yeah, pretty much expected these comments would appear soon. How come everytime Bitcoin thread is started, 99% of comments are people absolutely clueless about how difficulty is regulated within Bitcoin protocol?

Bitcoin does not consume energy. Miners do. Before presenting your views on Bitcoin, you should have some knowledge about how the network works, in particular how mining difficulty is regulated. Bitcoin would do just fine if its energy cons

Hot buzz without much substance. You propose hipster driven development. Ignore lessons from the past and repeat all mistakes and deficiencies in super shiny alphabet soup of technology. Look at node.js ecosystem to see where this leads to.

Thugs are certainly aware of the inventions that can heat things, and even measure surface temperature of things.

I do it often, partly to troll people who religiously claim I must not. When I extract stuff from HTML with regex I don't really care about reliability, robustness, interface design, encapsulation, separation of concerns, etc. I just w

Stop using JavaScript to render simple blog rants. Until then, I'll be using icon fonts, because I couldn't learn why I should not.

HTTP_PROXY is not transparent. The application has to opt-in.

Exactly. Confirmation bias at its best. It plays into views of HN readership so no one here questions the validity, even though there's no way to verify validity. And then you get down votes for critical thinking.

It's better to put it out and let others take a glance, isn't it? I don't think scientists actively seek media attention. I think it's other way around, media looking for hot stuff in science.

What is that PoC in the issue doing? They check e which is not set after first line in the function: func send(addr, server, sni string) int { c0, e := net.Dial("tcp", addr) if e != nil { log.Fatal(e) }

And yet for decades serious CLI tools are being written in POSIX shell, Bash, Zsh, Awk, Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Python, and no one really complained about speed until now, when hardware is so fast, finally people are starting to notice slow startu

Why do you need more performance from a CLI test tool? I'm honestly curious. It's basically curl (fast) plus simpler and easier interface and pretty printers. For performance in shell scripts you can use curl, and for troubleshoot

BDFL is not about taking any code that people throw at you. Look at LKML at how many iteration patches go through before they are merged.

I guess this is the evolution of "awesome" GitHub repositories. Instead of just dumping every matching link into README, now a short description is scraped and saved along with links. Not saying this page has bad content, but ther

I gather that data catalogs, a rectangle on the diagram, is dead and data discovery, an ellipse on the diagram takes over. Is there anything more to this article than geometric shape of buzzword containers?
