After checking their github repos I’m only seeing a web mail client with metamask for auth instead of user password. It’s using a normal graphql api. Very decentral. I guess web3.0 only requires a „login with metamask“-button now. Oh, and a

Yea, who would have thought that you don’t want to build a venture on top of a currency. There is no other use case in blockchain than transferring wealth plus some quality of life features like time locks, multi signatures etc.

Can you explain the entry/exit thing of monero? I always thought i’m fine when using monero, but never looked into what ring signatures imply.

Curious. Sony is in the headline, but apparently the company was sold to Phison Electronics?

I actually still use this feature a lot. I run some linux software on a server and can see the window on my main desktop without any need for rdp, vnc or similar. It’s really great!

Well, it was an old database and we actually just wanted to browse the records to see if there is anything important in them. If I had an old sql backup laying around and want to check whether we will need any of this data in the future the

I recently had to deal with Elixir for my very first time. All I wanted was to dump a db from the ErlangVMs built-in mnesia, and it was so awful if you only know SQL, Firebase and friends. Took me and a friend over two hours to find out tha

And every time Burry shorted the top. Looks like this time he actually hit the long term reversal instead of local high. So, he was always waiting for this and this time he gets green numbers big time.

70% of global watch time on YouTube comes from phones and tablets (2018). I don’t think adblock is an issue here. https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/marketing-strategies/search/...

And at 12$ a month I still have to watch through all these 1min long sponsored segments. YouTube without sponsorblock became unusable. For iOS I recommend uYouPlus: https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus

No. A cheat developer could still just sign a driver like every other developer and load a hypervisor. Then hook everything you want and youre gucci. Another option: there are a lot of vulnerable drivers, such as intels LAN driver, or capco

I only found out about LEB via links shared on HN. I haven’t subscribed yet but will consider it once I landed a job. I don’t think that sharing their most interesting articles is hurting them, more like the opposite.

Honestly, it’s the city’s fault for not providing dedicated bike lanes. There is enough space for everyone if your local urban planners don’t suck. When I moved from Dortmund, a city were the cycling experience is great, back to my dad I re

I don’t want infrastructure providers to play law enforcement. If they would have had received a court order and acted afterwards, I’d be okay with their decision. But kicking customers for marketing? Meh.

Well uh, the company also employs thousands of people who get more or less equally paid? Taking a public company vs average employee as a wealth gap example is probably not showing what you want to show.

Steam did the same for me. They wanted the first email of the account, which was like some hotmail.de throwaway. Except that they didn’t care that I were able to show them hundreds of purchases with several payment methods which were made o

Yes, there are many solutions to this problem if you don’t mind hosting yet another service, but the best would be if the integrated API routes wouldn’t suck so hard.

I like NextJS too, except for the API part. The DX is so poor compared to e.g. fastify. Want to only allow a specific http method for this route? Have fun adding boilerplate. Want to throw a specific http error like 403? Have fun writing th

In pycharm where indentation is key and you want to bring the current line into the current scope, it will just autofill the copilot suggestion which you then have to remove again. So annoying.
