I am curious how in the world does Bitfinex offer USD liquidity these days? I mean lets say you trade USD/USDT on Bitfinex. How do you get USD (not USDT) out of Bitfinex?

Besides Scala, I feel both Kotlin and Rust have been heavily influenced by Scala.

This looks like a nice introductory text (for non-programmers). Is there a Github link to notebooks? I've been teaching Python to adult non-programmers for a few years now. One issue is that of order on what to teach. What do you teach

I actually like Scala. I teach it to complete beginners to programming and generally it goes great - there is a huge demand for junior Scala developers in my neck of woods. However when I found that 22 argument monster a while ago it was a

I am one of those early Bitcoin adopters who was turned off by energy consumption. Crypto is cool in a theoretical sense but ugly in practical sense. I mined a bit of BTC in 2011 and LTC in 2013 but when my colleagues started buying ASICs i

So the same idea as pattern matching in Scala? If it can be used as switch case on steroids then I am all for it. Why Python never got switch case is an interesting question.

I reflashed a demo Kindle DXG to factory using pretty much the same technique some 7 years ago. Hardest step was soldering connectors for UART to USB bridge. Luckily had a friend handy with a soldering iron. After that I used a terminal pr

Well, if the government is truly repressive evading capital controls can be considered a good thing. I am still convinced that most people willingly holding Tether are trying to avoid paying taxes and skirt KYC. That is the only sane explan

Many of us have been around crypto for a long time (meaning since 2010-2011) and have not seen any progress in positive terms. Most of crypto growth has been pure speculation/ crypto2crytpo related services/morally questionable us

Pyinstaller is nice for packaging projects with smaller libraries. Hello world is about 7MB. Try including pandas with a few other popular libraries. Suddenly you have 500MB blobs. Not very practical for passing around multiple projects. I

If the app is working properly during review, why change it to nonworking later on? It is like that Key and Peele skit about robbing a bank by working there. If you can create a working app why not leave it as is ?

This is an awesome resource but the general Python section could use some work. I am assuming that target audience are scientists with a modicum of programming knowledge. The list and especially dictionary section is a bit bare. In the opti

Crypto can be extremely political if those who mine get to decide what goes on the blockchain. Let's say Dalai Lama decided to follow MicroStrategy with a 400M purchase. His BTC could be near unusable if China were to control some amou

Seeing Scala for the first time seemed this is what happens when Java marries Python. Rust seems like when C++ marries Scala. Disclaimer: I like C, Python and Scala but not a big fan of C++ and Java
