Sure. They have value because people will pay. I still suspect most people think they're getting an exclusive license for a piece of artwork, and not a bit of performance art. They almost certainly believe that the goods pointed to by

> Well yes. But anyone can make a reproduction of a Warhol print The point is that an NFT only shows a chain of custody for the NFT. It does not imply anything about the originality of the Warhol.

Owning an NFT is not the same as owning copyright. It's just owning the right to transfer the NFT. There can be as many NFTs for the same thing as the (edit: anyone) artist feels like producing. [1] https://nitter.eu/jo

Those languages are also well known for not handling multiple cpu bound threads well. (And for that matter, it's simply wrong about Python, which uses native threads, but locks very heavily: you need to write native code to use more

848.
by ori_b 6y ago
Er? No, the point is that threads are what you want for cpu-bound tasks. Async does not deal well with long running cpu intensive jobs that hog the cpu without yield points.

Chroot is more or less a bind mount over /. Bind mounts generalize chroot. Unveil does not, and therefore does not allow you to provide arbitrary views of the file system. It's useful for other reasons. On OpenBSD, a full web brow

How do you bind a /tmp/empty to /home/$USER with unveil, so that you can see and capture the files some program creates?

Easily believable. Keep in mind that clang is part of the userspace that clang is building. Moving to clang means building that instead of building ack, you're building clang. Plan 9 is similar: a full system rebuild takes about 45 sec

Standard APIs still can require a fair amount of code to write. A plain text format with a well defined grammar allows me to pull out any old text editor, and get to a working change with trial and error. Protocols and binary formats have t

Why are they interested in producing a public record of their transactions? Isn't that dangerous given their current political situations?

Why are you so excited about a really inefficient clearing house? We already have those.

I feel like this is a monkey's paw wish. I've wanted to see QT and GTK replaced with something better for a long time. We got Electron, and other browser based toolkits.

Over the last 100 years, you'd have done significantly better by putting your money into an index fund -- and had less volatility. As far as I can tell, gold is just a lousy place to keep your money. What kind of long term are you talk

Gold is also a poor place to put your money. The long term average is both volatile and underperforms most indexes. https://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-...

A compiler backend would have to do it statically, and would not be able to do it based on the workload that's being run. The argument to expose this sort of control would be because domain knowledge would allow higher level domain kno

It's worth trying to reduce the amount of centralization, and make baby steps to improving the situation.
