Arguments against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fall apart when you realize people are using it for more than frivolous speculation, such as to escape extreme currency controls from their totalitarian governments. And no, asking said g

I think it's less of an issue of programmers in general in danger of being seen as witches and more of a certain breed of programmer. You know the type. Not even the obviously "bad guys" and "hackers" induce that

I concur with what other commenters have mentioned- without clear licensing indications, this is sort of useless.

The idea by itself is pretty great, however I think the site could do better at conveying what a Jewelbot can do. Apparently it has lights and vibration and it can communicate wirelessly- what else? Would it be possible to use it as a smart

So I hear it's been rather chilly in Hell as of lately, some report below-freezing temperatures. That being said, Embrace, Extend, Extinguish and all that. Besides, there's a market for free software now they've become a clou

Development moves faster and with far less bureaucratic hurdles than with Bitcoin. No contentious forks (thus far), they had SegWit first and chances are they will have working, beyond proof-of-concept Lightning first.

Sadly, Embarcadero's chokehold on Delphi is what turned me off of it back then, and still does nowadays. You could argue FreePascal/Lazarus is an alternative, but it's really not the same.

I've used it before, along with similar "emulators" but what I was indeed looking for were for other native Android distros, one advantage being as they used to advertise it, that it was light enough for you to stick into an

So with Remix OS being effectively canned, what other alternatives do remain for Android on x86? I do know they were leveraging the efforts of the aptly-named Android-x86 project, but I don't know to which extent they did and the state

Wow, what an overly saccharine blog post. Way to reek about insecurity over your own product when your prose comes off as nigh-Orwellian and you get everyone in your team to grin as hard as (in)humanly possible and kiss their own asses in t

And for things like these is why I abandoned 1Password, LastPass and any similar services and just decided to roll my own solution. KeePass has quite a few Android apps (this [1] being my favorite) and even though it might not be as widely

Agreed. Wanting to get money is fine, wanting to get money out of something that was (mostly) free for the longest is sort of contemptible but he's in his right to do so. However, I've never liked much at all his attitude towards

First of all, thank you for stopping by to reply to me. >On the other hand, when VCs leave at the first sign of trouble, why is that so terrible? I think giving bad advice -- advice that a lot of founders will listen to because they ofte

Initial Coin Offering. Like an IPO but not quite, you're not selling securities after all, and they may not pay any dividends, you're simply selling a token you can trade with others that may be exchanged for a service by the comp

Bitcoin payments are anonymous, but they are perfectly traceable. Quite the important distinction there. Tainted money like that would need to be put through a Bitcoin tumbler which is unsafe and imperfect or only ever used to pay for other

I always seem to remember this project sort of limping along, only to forget it a while after as even though I'm an artist and I could make some use of it, the setup is far too much of a trouble when a Wordpress blog would do the trick

I suspect the answers here will vary wildly with the commenter's actual position at their company. Management would balk at it and say they ought to be immediately fired. I think it's usually a matter to see why they'd feel t

I think it's great this article is getting so much attention, considering the huge amount of bias and "ageism" that exists in the field. Just because you can be an entrepreneur before 30 doesn't mean you'll have the

If I worked for WhatsApp (Or conversely, if WhatsApp used an implementation of something I've made, thus making it hugely popular in the process) I'd certainly say there's no backdoor indeed. Conflicts of interest.
