I’m not involved - and own no crypto - but just as angry as the gp. Why? I’m tired of these cryptobro idiots being held up on some sort of bullshit pedestal while people who truly get shit done have zero recognition and toil away in obscuri

Just spitballing but even if you can’t enumerate the fonts, you could draw text with the targeted font on a hidden canvas element and check if the resulting pixels roughly resemble what would be expected versus a “fallback” font?

I read through Don Eyles apollo memoir Sunburst and Luminary- great book. In the book he describes their simulator for the lunar landing (essentially a test harness for the landing code) which consisted of inputs of coordinates and speeds,

Well, to start, 10% of gold production goes to the electronics industry. Therefore, one could say that gold was used to manufacture products we use to serve and view the very site on which we are discussing this topic. I agree, the world ha

Fourteen years after Tim Berners Lee released his www app was, let’s call it 2005ish. I’d say the impact of http on the world was pretty damn life changing by 2005. Linux? Fourteen years after it was released it had entirely disrupted not j

What was the point of the blockchain if I have to … trust the county clerk? Why are they involved? Heck, why is there a “clerk” at all? Isn’t the point to have a trust less, decentralized system?

This argument always intrigued me. Once you point out cryptocurrencies don’t actually solve the unbanked problem for poor people, then the use case immediately shifts to “well have you tried to move seven figures between countries”? By the

So… we will solve global warming by running a network of computers with custom ASICs at 100% utilization, cooling them as necessary, performing useless computation, so a cabal of technobros can move imaginary internet money around 10 times
