A good wallet would show the last transactions prominently. Also you can setup email alerts for ETH transfers from/to your account with a tool like etherscan.io. That's the advantage of public ledgers, it's way easier to moni

I think the point is to call their little consortium "decentralized" and let the various on-ramps (be it wallets, exchanges, merchants) deal with AML, just as if it were cash or Bitcoin. This is apparent in how their wallet Calibr

Good to see another big one embracing Rust. Interesting to note that their smart-contract language Move [1] also borrows from Rust: > Move’s bytecode verifier uses a “borrow checking” scheme similar to Rust to ensure that at most on

Maybe we should look at why these people are vulnerable in the first place. I suspect we would be way more likely to succeed in empowering undocumented people by removing barriers, rather than erecting new constraints against them and a way

Yes, what I'm talking about is definitely an evolution of corporations. But corporations are more easily influenced, taken down, and are bound by laws. Bitcoin can't be forcibly shutdown.

The app store UIs could just differentiate between the canonical name and a short tag line. Right now tweaking the title is the only way to add a description to the search result list.

The early-access PS4 game "Dreams" [1] is a great implementation of exactly that concept. Players can create scenes with in-game editors for 3d modeling, sound editing and visual programming. They can then share the scene and pl

This kind of shenanigan is why everyone should have a user-agent spoofer on their browser. I even think Firefox should ship with it natively. Far too many sites ban non-Chromium (sometimes even non-Chrome) browsers.

Only downside is you can't (easily) map Ctrl+Tab to switch between tmux Windows. Doesn't matter much if you spend your life in the terminal, but for occasional users consistency between applications is important.

It probably is a chicken-and-egg problem. Speaking from my own experience, the comparatively very low software engineer salaries in France drove me to freelance (mostly for foreign clients), and later emigration. There is simply very low de

That's a strawman. "Spawning a Chromium instance for each application" is an easy but far from optimal solution.

Your criticism would be fair if FOSS authors were rightly conpensated for their work. This isn't nearly the case, so until then blaming FOSS authors for some experimentations is just unwarranted.

The `cursor: auto;` rule in your `.reset_myseller` class removes the "pointer" cursor when hovering over links. You should move the class up (put it on a parent instead of directly on the <a> tag), or override it with `curso

The difference is that with JavaScript, you can install a linter and happily restrict yourself to the sane subset of the language. It's very realistic to never have to deal with any of the uglier parts of JS, even as a full-time front-
