I know. That’s why I wrote that strict typing is important. But naming variables properly helps your colleagues now and you in the future when you need to come back to this code.

> Is records a list, a dict or a database connection? Records is a list of record items. It’s a plural. If it was a dict, it would be recordByID. If it was a database connection it would be called connection. Strict typing is good, and y

I mean, yes, there is an HTTP1, 1.1 and 2 spec, gzip spec, brotli spec, mime types, tls 1, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, quic spec, sni spec, but I did not bother replying as the grandparent comment hasn’t given any detail.

Ha, I remember the days where Apache was one of the poster childs of open source along with Mozilla. Meanwhile nginx was the authors own homepage, complete with hammers and sickles, with a personal anecdote about how he read the c10k paper

The nerve of saying you're challenging me! I have repeatedly challenged you to pick any of these cases. I have done so repeatedly. I am prepared to defend any of them, I am challenging you to pick the battlefield, because I think you

Cash, bank transfers, etc don't price in counter-party risk either. The only thing that does is Visa, and that's a layer on top of your existing statutory rights. Agreed re: fiat onramp/offramp. 0.3c is still far in excess of

It’s a flat fee of 0.000025 and takes about a second for payments to go through on current gen blockchain L1s, many of which have retail Point of Sale systems.

I suspect it’s fast cryptocurrency networks. There’s L1s where you can pay on your phone and the transaction goes through in a second and a whole bunch of payment startups.

Headline is slightly misleading: > Businesses with annual Visa sales volume below $300,000 will qualify for the lower fee, as will those who do less than $175,000 from MasterCard.

They did apply for one IIRC. Which is silly, but people apply to trademark all kinds of generic terms.

Yes I have. There are six mentioned here. I’m happy to go into detail on one of them if you like. Just tell me which. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35970568 Current generation L1s don’t use the term smart contract an

This one, Codey - from the headline I thought that was what was being pre announced. It’s hard to do AI assisted coding if you’re not in everyone’s editor and your competitor already is.

There are many situations mentioned, but the same value proof of digital ownership brings elsewhere. Happy to answer for a more specific case if you want to provide one.

Thanks for the info. I’m writing this from the UK where rewards are indeed close to zero. There are cryptocurrency based reward programs, I haven’t played with them myself though.

You are correct that there is no benefit to consumers in saving retailers money. Additionally, Visa can terminate a Retailers account if they provide a discount for using an alternative payment system. This may not be in all markets in the

You are already in a dystopian DRM landscape and have been for 20 years since general purpose computing died and all computer hardware from your BIOS to your monitor cable already enforces DRM. The FSF was right. That’s off topic though. Di

I didn’t take cryptocurrency seriously because eth is slow - nobody’s going to wait awkwardly for five minutes while the transaction clears - and gas fees are insanely expensive - nobody will pay 40 dollars for a 5 dollar coffee because the
