I totally love fish, it's the first shell that made me replace bash as my default shell (zsh was "just not enough" to justify losing compatibility, for me). But is this project really overlapping it? I see mostly fish as &quo

Totally agree. I went to philosophy section of university myself (although, I didn't go up to a degree, it was mostly for my own interest) and later recruited a developer who attended too. It was a pleasant surprise to realize it was s

Yes, this USDTUSD market on kraken is an anomaly: it has very small volume, and nobody is really interested in trading that. Poloniex has many USDT markets, as they use it to compensate for the fact they do not provide markets against fiat.

I get it that it's a major use case for platforms allowing to issue tokens, but I would love not seeing stellar going too far down the ICO road. Buying in ICOs still doesn't provide any kind of clear value (beside selling them) an

I've stopped using torrents since I subscribed to Netflix and Spotify years ago, but I can see myself very well returning to it if that scattering trend continues.

Which doesn't mean it's not interesting to study :) The omnipresence of fibonacci ratios is interesting by itself. Last year, I was reading Proudhon's criticism of the speculative part of financial markets. His main objection

I consider myself a cryptocurrency enthusiast (I regularly browsed bitcointalk forum since 2013, even if I did not buy anything until 2015), but I have no problem with, nor fear about, governments managing money: what I'm interested in

And to further the argument, the fact that one decided to put his blood son as emperor (Marcus Aurelius) is often seen has one of the early cause of roman decline. https://www.realclearhistory.com/2017/03/16/c

It's been a while since I haven't use wine. Actually, it's been since Steam started its push for linux support in games. But it still happens that I will use wine for games I really want to play and which do not have linux su

Huge potential for an awesome easter egg, there :)

I guess I should have said "the hardest part" :) I don't mean to make ARM devs and mobile UI interfacers work look casual.

Maybe you want to read their crowdfunding page and homepage, because not being an android phone is the point from the start, so I'm not sure why you seem surprised :) It's not the first attempt, either. Before them, there has been

I've thought like this for a decade, then the hdd of one of my dedicated server at ovh, on which a side-project with paying users runs, failed. I was confident at the moment: I had backups, I knew the server was provided with raid supp

I see, thanks for confirming this. I was initially skeptic about lambda when it was first released, thinking "so after heroku which makes us pay per process, now we must pay per function call?", but I know better than trusting my

Wait for the "bitcoin is dead" articles ;) There's still room, anyway, it only retraced at 0.5 of 2017 rally.

Btw (sorry for double comment, I can't edit my previous one anymore), all of this makes me think one thing: maybe console companies could build emulators themselves? There are guys like me who won't ever buy a console anyway. I us

Indeed, TIL they are not synonymous :) (non native speaker)

Good point. I guess it would be only fair that emulators publish download numbers :)

Oh, I see: it's not just that it's a simple app with payment on endpoint access, it's that it can spawn tons on this app very quickly. Am I correct to assume to ideal use case for that is to replace what is typically implemen

There's a big difference regarding stellar, though: allowing global and fast payments is their goal from the start (not that I presume they will succeed in this). This article explain their vision the best, I think: https://

Thanks for explanation, it's somehow clearer to me, now. There's one thing I still don't understand: doesn't this mean it's basically just a small server app with a standardized api (as in, api must be implemented i

Have an upvote. I don't agree with you, but those group downvoting are really mass bullying, to me. Regarding the topic, I wonder what part of revenue for game console creators is in selling the console, and which part is to licencing

I don't think that's the issue, here: the person who opened the issue is complaining about legal mention not being there, not about the code being reused. This is not a minor problem, because turn over is high in developers world.

Cool tech. If anything, it shows that windows MR tools are mature enough to be used in most languages... on Windows. I know one can work on projects that target Hololens using only Unity3D, but it doesn't help much since the SDK needed

So, if I understand correctly, it allows to bypass BIOS password? Are there people relying on those? I may understand it's a bit more secure on a laptop, but on a desktop you just have to remove BIOS battery to reset the password, anyw

Kraken has similar problems (regarding often being down). Before that, it was bitfinex who had trouble with withdrawals. And beginning/mid 2017, it was poloniex. I'm afraid there is no exchange (in my experience) who managed to ha

Hi, There's a question I don't find an answer for by looking at homepage and documentation: does it handle concurrent queries? (I wonder, since I see a store is a single file) That is, is it something akin sqlite, meant to be used

You should try KDE Neon stable :) It's the best linux experience I've had, I got used to call it "macosx, the linux way". It's stable, with a well thought of interface and softwares that just fit together, yet it&#x

I see, thanks for the explanation. As is, it kind of seems to defeat the idea of the blockchain, dropping it to do a meaningful amount of transactions. But it's well over my head, I'll wait and see how it plays out.
