Staking can be pooled just like regular POW mining pools. However unlike POW mining pools you have to give the majority of your funds to a trusted party whereas with POW mining the maximum you can loose is the unpaid balance between payouts

Don't blame "the people". The vast amount of money printing by central banks are the cause that holding onto cash and saving has become a high risk operation. The solution is going back to the gold standard. The economist is

This only means that the real probability density function is parameterized by a sum of many Gaussian functions. Considering that the real implied returns are a skewed "gaussian-like thing" this is not the worst thing to do. Truly

The fact that the implied returns distribution is not normal is more or less "priced in". This is why you get volatility "smiles" and "skews". From the volatility surface (Volatility in respect to strike and ti

After years of misleading propaganda about how X11 is "deprecated" now I would expect no less. Besides maybe the main communication channel for development is somewhere else.

Wayland is power-user hostile. If all you do is watching cat videos all day long Wayland will be great for you.

There are plenty of developers left. It is just release management refuses to make new releases.

What are the security implications? Programs that call XGetImage() when sandboxed in a Xpra/Xephyr session will get back nothing.

Taking screenshots/streaming is not a hard problem. However Wayland artificially turns something as simple as taking a screenshot into a hard problem what was before a simple function call to XGetImage(). As exercise I recommend to imp

RISC-V doesn't even match ARM's levels when pulling extra tricks and extensions designed to improved code density. Other ISA's like AVR32 beat ARM by 50% which means it is more than possible to beat ARM. As I said, RISC-V is

I never understood the hype around RISC-V. It is an ISA on the level of a mediocre early 90s design and does not address any of the problems we have today such as the memory latency bottleneck and the resulting topology challenges. Several

The other forks you are mentioning are a completely different problem because there were inherent philosophical differences among developers. X11 just needs "a release" so that package maintainers and distros can push updates. If

What is the process to become a release manager for X11 without forking it? I assume you can't just walk in there and say "I'll do that".

by sprash 6y ago
There are still contributors and maintainers. Just release management "decided" that X11 is now deprecated.

by sprash 6y ago
This is not the fault of X11 since it exposes all necessary data via the xrandr extention[1]. It is just toolkits like Gtk that choose to ignore that information on X11 but not on Wayland. 1.: http://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologi

Bisq is surprisingly smooth if you want to exchange fiat to crypto without intermediate centralized exchange. Great to see a solid implementation of colored bitcoins in the wild with great UX.
