M1 does have x86 compatible memory ordering: https://twitter.com/ErrataRob/status/1331735383193903104 IMHO, this is the biggest hurdle for x86 emulation on ARM.

The United States is a democracy. Having large swarth of people owning cryptocurrencies making it possible for 1. no outright government bans or criminal investigations, 2. potential government buyout.

I am not the typical guy who is going to preach e2e testing when I am in big tech companies. But let's not confuse what e2e tests (or I'd like to call it, integration tests) can do. I love property-based testing, especially with t

Because they have both Dollar and Bitcoin as legal tender, the result is unclear. In theory, because USD is still cheaper (if Bitcoin is supplied constrained as it is promised), people will trade with USD and hoard Bitcoin. However, when cr

My understanding: it normally sits at the bottom of the ranking algo. You are looking at whether the final top 10 will be in the top 10,000 (out of tens of millions) most of the time. After getting the top 10,000, you can do more finer-grai

The reality is more depressing than imagining some central command manufactured this consent. It is just an emerging phenomenon to appease the audiences.

I know this is an unpopular take, but for sites (like Stackoverflow) that give me options (if they don't, some times I just skip), I will select "strict" and continue. This is probably an improvement from previous status-quo

You can only redeem USDT to USD through centralized exchanges (after all, that's the point of stablecoins in dEx ...). As long as these centralized exchanges collude to refuse redeeming USDT to USD, there is no run of the bank scenario

Rule of thumb is always: if you need it, do it, otherwise, don't. Real world cases could be: 1. If you write a unit tests and really need to have a double of that particular component, then do it. Otherwise, don't. 2. You need to
