Thanks a lot for taking the time to write all this to explain clearly :). As I feared, these mechanisms do break the assumptions that would make a blockchain useful in the first place. So it is not actually possible to move tokens from a bl

Proof of stake comes with a number of issues but let's put that apart. PoW and PoS are means to achieve distributed consensus. It works for cryptocurrencies because writings to the blockchain are performative (what's written is

What makes a blockchain necessary is having both decentralization and generalized distrust as hard assumptions. How do you manage not having to trust the bridges in such scenarios?

Yes you can do that in Emacs of course. Default key bindings are "C-x (" to start recording, "C-x )" to stop, and "C-x e" to play the macro — and then you can just press "e" to repeat it again and aga

I didn't understand it that way at all. The assertion, as far as I understood, was that the Linux machines were the same ones that were sold with Windows on them otherwise. Which is true, Dell sell the same hardware with Windows or Lin

A good way to have file-system based routing is to actually use files. And the inclusion of common parts can easily be done on the server-side or locally on the development machine using PHP's include directive. Using PHP as a template

On Linux, KDE is able to theme GTK apps to match it's own theme. It has limitations of course but it does a very good job.

I don't understand what you mean by "white box". Just look for yourself it's really not hard to find: https://www.dell.com/en-us/lp/linux-systems

I discovered this publication because one of the author, David Louapre, is a quite famous science YouTuber in France. He holds a PhD in fundamental physics and works at Ubisoft now, but he keeps regularly publishing awesome science videos a

I think the point is that you can buy your hardware from vendors that officially support Linux and get the same benefits as Apple's all included material and system. This is especially true if you're willing to put as much money

I would have agreed with that 15 and maybe 10 years ago. Nowadays, do you really think this is still true? At the university I work at some of the administrative staff with little to no technical knowledge are using Ubuntu and doing essenti

I teach an introduction to computer security course where I show my students how to write some basic rootkits for Linux. I need them to be able do that on the computer room machines (where they aren't root not sudoers), or on their own

Okay dang, sorry. I must admit it's quite painful, as respecting these guidelines amounts to letting those who do not respect them have the last word, at least during the time when the story's got the more attention (because in th

Not every wrongdoing to a community is illegal per se. The police has nothing to do with it. And concerning illegal things that the police could act on, the situation in real life is much more complex than you seem to think. First, a legal

I'm sorry what? In practice, crypto markets are not any more decentralized than others. In real life people use hosted wallets on exchange platform. Transactions happen on a distributed (not decentralized!) ledger. The underlying netwo

This is not the same thing. Shares of a company have an actual value: a part of the company's capital (computers, building, etc). At least there is some ground based on real-world something. Of course the company can go bankrupt and ow

Of course. But for example if you are writing a compiler, an interpreter, or anything that has to manipulate something that resembles a structured tree of meaningful data, OCaml is particularly well suited :).

If using semicolons instead of commas is enough of a showstopper for you it's probably that you just don't have a need for the language :).
