I still find it weird that planes are cheaper than trains even for quite small distances. London -> Berlin? Paris -> Madrid? Hell even Rome -> Milan is cheaper to fly. I would love to start contributing less to emissions and take t

This is quite interesting. An About page would be nice though.

Personally I think the reason they were faster than today is abstractions. Today developing a video game for a browser doesn’t require you to know anything about the details of graphics or pixels or GPU. Such abstractions - such as the V8 e

Does anybody have any real scientific insight into the idea that PoW based Cryptocurrencies can harness energy from far away places that is already being wasted? We currently need to send most of traditional energy to our households, cars,

I'm also not a fan of cryptocurrency but you seem to be living a privileged life in a country with a stable currency. Crypto is godsend for people where their countries cannot be trusted.

I should say that back in the day Nat was one that got me into coding. His nat.org blog (unfortunately cannot find it anymore on archive) was such an authentic piece of writing with his Xamarin and GNOME adventures along with posts and grea

Stopping one from expressing their true feelings in a way is a form of torture. I want to live in a world where I can get to experience the true behavior of people (whether bad or good). Then of course have the possibility to remove them fr

Yup. Also would still take Amsterdam city centre walking (full of bikes & with little pedestrian lanes), instead of most other city centers that have sidewalks but are entirely polluted with noisy and smoggy cars.

I live in Amsterdam coming from Italy and have lived also in states. I have the opposite experience. Roads in the center are busy but everybody rides at slow speeds even cars and small motorcycles. They all share the canal roads with pedest

Won't that make the chip bigger and/or slower? I think the compactness where the main components are so close together and finely tuned that makes the difference. Making it composable probably means also making it bigger (hence wo

Does this mean that also owning gold is a ponzi? I don't see how Bitcoin differs from gold in this regard.

I don't understand this. The whole point of the p2p system is that you vote with the software you have installed. If people want to remove oligarchs that control the system they can simply move to a different kind of software, leaving

Regardless of who the customer or product is, the actual thing is built with the capitalistic idea that more people = more money. Hence everything is pretty much built to attract and keep people attracted for the most possible time. Saying

I understand the problem but then shouldn't also videogames (for instance) be controlled/regulated? They also provide high-swings in emotions coupled with almost real virtual world that can mimic much more vividly experiences that

Yes cool but I want to be able to run the test in command line like I currently do with Jest where everything is mocked (even DOM) so it runs super fast (during CI) but then I also just wanna run the test in a browser for my development wor

I think what most developers use Storybook for is development in isolation which is essentially what TDD is about. In fact what we end up doing with Storybook is that we create the "stories" (literally .stories.ts files) that rend

Cool but I would like to understand the opposite: why doesn't React then just memoize everything by default? Why not let the developer opt-out of memoizing instead of having them opt-in?

I think “wanting our own personal space” is something that we all thrive for during our lives: buying a house and living in it with our family & close ones; riding a car with people we know; etc. The problem is that it’s one of those th

I think you’re missing what the problem they’re trying to solve is. They’re solving the problem of “writing code faster” With that in mind I think this problem is totally real and worth solving. If copilot can save me those mundane moments

But with 1,000 BTC you can get more coins from within the system by buying lots of rigs with those 1,000 coins & hence mine more coins. So PoS and PoW are quite similar in that regard. I think the problem with PoS is not "rich get

One thing that PoW has for it is this idea of "something outside the system". In essence the miners are somewhat economically forced to sell their mined coins in order to rent the energy/mining-rigs. Hence helping with re-dis

The online peers are virtually servers. If a market is created then peers could get paid to host/seed your site. Instead of buying say a server as we do today for HTTP sites. Also there are mutable torrents.

by sktrdie 5y ago
In my opinion the BitTorrent network, along with the DHT network, holds so much untapped potential. It’s a sea of constantly-changing data. The data is so much more easily shareable compared to HTTP because all you need is a computer and an

I'm going to go against the flow here and say that worrying about this is similar to worrying about the license we give to snippets of code we copy-paste from other licensed code. The reality is that we never attribute the original sou
