If you're going to run a payment system this way, by generating addresses and then checking if they've confirmed, the better way to do it (rather than pre-generating a batch), is to use hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets. Th

Yeah, agree with other comments to not ignore the pain, and don't attempt to type through it. That's how I've exacerbated my carpal tunnel in the past. Try a different keyboard. I'd recommend the Microsoft split keyb

Ayn Rand explicitly disavowed libertarianism, both big "L" and small "l". Her political/moral philosophy was Objectivism [0]. The primary focus of libertarianism is the promotion of individual liberty and non-aggre

You know, Cloudflare gets a lot of shit around here for being a centralizing entity in a decentralized Internet (sometimes justifiably), but they've done a hell of a lot to push forward needed changes in the Internet infrastructure. O

Damn, still no modular implicits. And no multicore yet, either. Seems like they keep getting pushed back. At least BuckleScript is progressing quickly.

Are you employed remotely? Someone asked a question on Ask HN a few days back about whether learning a less common language made remote work more feasible. So this is kind of a follow-up to that question.

I'm not surprised in the least. One of the reasons I have avoided UpWork/Elance is that it seems like every other job is for something blatantly unethical (and perhaps illegal). I don't even have to ask for details for such

Well, you wouldn't necessarily need to determine what software is running on any device to quarantine it. However, what would be helpful would be some kind of central registry of botnet traffic signatures so that the scanner could use
