In the tech world I would imagine a scenario where you don't have any professional experience in language X, you've been working only in language Y, but you've done some personal projects in language X and would like a career

Don't make that assumption. I worked on older Solaris installations, they did have bash but the production scripts were written in ksh 88. I had to dig up obscure features of this shell in because they didn't even upgrade to the n

They mention that they are immediately exchanged into their national currency. They would be exposed to the price fluctuation for half an hour maximum. Block confirmation is around 10 minutes, and you need to wait 2-3 blocks to be certain.

Indeed, building from source is falling out of fashion, with everyone creating a package manager these days. I find some of these very opaque, for example Rust has it’s own package manager which downloads and runs binaries at its own discre

Can anyone clarify if this is a possibility for apt packages as well? As far as I understand, there are 4 types of apt repositories (for Ubuntu): Main, Universe, Restricted, Multiverse. I guess Main is safe since it's handled by Canoni

Interesting list, however I feel like a lot of these should be open source, or at least signed with gpg. I read too many cryptocurrency posts these days, they make me paranoid about security...

True. That's the role of speculators in any market. They buy stuff that nobody wants, this way preventing the price from falling too hard. I always buy my T-shirts in the winter. They're cheaper.

It's the same as with other investments. You're putting some money in, with the hope that the thing you buy will appreciate in the future. When you buy stocks what exactly do you buy? Some stake in a company? Nonsense. You're

Just curious...how do they implement inflation? Do they just double everyone's wallet every 2 years, or do they introduce the new coins through mining?

Interesting. Any ideas if this is indeed a realistic scenario, or if it has been addressed yet?

I find it unlikely that bitcoin will remain so dominant in the market. Other currencies are slowly solving bitcoin's problems, like transactions speed, fees, anonymity. It might ultimately come down to the best implementation, or we mi

The video explaining it is really well made, but for some reason I still can't grasp the 4th dimension. Perhaps it's one of those things that you only need to know they exist at the theoretical level.
