What's it backed by? Who decides the inflation rate?

Did they? That's interesting. No one ever contacted me about my contributions and whether I'd like to relicense them or not. I also noticed someone went through a long time ago and scrubbed a lot of names out of the source code en

Dunno about that one but if you like that sort of thing, check out Rebol.

When you reach the point at which the buying/selling of bananas becomes more important than eating bananas, that may be the time at which to consider that something's gone wrong in the economy.

Article summary: Actually users very much like DuckDuckGo except for a few crazed Trump supporters upset that it returns dangerous left-wing pages like "Wikipedia".

On the contrary, we actually need them. The people who refuse to believe Bitcoin is real are the ones whose continued drive for fiat currency will fund the UBI for everyone else. It's win-win.

It’s literally how crypto is designed to work, spread, and gain adoption. Unsecure nodes (criminals) are either caught via the audit trail or forced back into a legit line of work. Either way their corrupt activity finances the secure econo

Ah yes my mistake. The only question I guess is are we yet at the tipping point where Bitcoin reaches runaway adoption or not.

Bitcoin is not a competing fiat currency, but a competing gold standard.

My bet is that they'll swap for something ultimately blockchain based, using Bitcoin's fixed inflation curve to rebase the dollar on going forward. (eg BTC-ETFs, central bank digital currency, etc)

Scumm etc are only writing the game in their own language, not the entire engine. The engine remains in C/asm/whatever.

You're not misunderstanding; some people just don't treat it as seriously as they should.

I spent the last few years doing remote work, before COVID. I don't want to waste any more years of my life staring into a rectangle. If I go back to programming it's sure as hell going to be onsite. It's all fun and games at

I used to dream a lot; in the past year since I started taking THC as medication I haven't had any. I put this down to the THC basically letting you dream while you're awake, which seems to be more effective than doing it while as

You say he doesn't write garbage code, yet none of his source code has been released so you've never seen it. How do you know if it's good code or not?

But you don't _have_ to be on the Epic Game Store to sell a PC game. You can be on Steam. Or itch.io. Or make your own store. Or just host it on your own website.

Z80 has lots of registers; you POP from one stack, fill up as many registers as you can, then switch to the other stack and PUSH them all back. Use EXX etc to fill up the alternate registers too.

by kayamon 6y ago
The fastest way to memcpy by far on a Z80 is to point the stack register at your data and PUSH/POP the registers onto it. Many games used this (e.g. see 'Cobra', 1986)

Isn’t it wonderful that we’ve positioned companies like Apple as this great gatekeeper of what you can and can’t make. Mandatory app stores remain a terrible idea. Code signing remains a terrible idea. We need to push back against this idio

They’re probably just bundling OpenOffice. It’s just another Linux distro based off Ubuntu, nothing new here.

This attitude is exactly why Unix has never managed to attain the same kind of software ecosystem that other OSs have.
