Still think pangolin on the avalanche network is a much better dapp than uniswap can ever be in PoW ethereum.

Well, for the gas fees and scalability issues there's always avalanche [1] ... I feel like there's a project that already solves most of ethereum problems now , but it's been slept on for a while. [1] https://www.

Yeah, apparently the 4700G[1] has already been spotted in benchmarks. Basically their 8-core ZEN2 APU. [1] https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7-4700g-8-core-apu-pic...

Are we sure about this though? I'm seeing 5G being deployed in London now and I'm still [irrationally probably] anxious about it's potencial long-term health effects. :/

I'm in love with this project. It touches a bunch of things that I love in computer science: cryptography (quantum safe cryptography in particular), distributed systems (blockchain, PoS), [Pure] Functional Programming (Haskell, Rust to

I'm pretty certain they do. AMD's PSP and Intel's ME are really shady and are still enabled in every CPU sold today (and full of disclosed and undisclosed flaws for that matter).

You are still on iOS 10?

It's funny, I also prefer much more the lightning connector to the Type-C one, but Type-C is not under Apple's tight grip...

You are very pretentious with your web dev courses, kind sir.

You mean, the iPhone 6S camera is horrible as well? Because the SE and the 6S share the same sensor... Sure, it doesn't have the AI-powered features of newer camera software and it also isn't a dual camera system, but I reckon it&

I love the clojure community efforts, but clojure.spec is so confusing and bloat-y to me. :( It reminds me of Frama-C and specification of C programs, which isn't exactly what I would want to do all the time to have some safety guarant

Yeah, saying Amazon does not have a .se (or .pt in my case) website is disingenuous. I can buy stuff from amazon.es easily, and have free shipping on orders over €20. It will automatically apply the Portuguese VAT as well, so I usually pay

You are right regarding the dynamic language, well, dynamic. I haven't put any thought into it and I can't come up with a viable solution of eliminating nil without some type system strategy (Maybe/Either Monads in Haskell, O

nil is not. nil punning is a band-aid. Otherwise, I love the lang.

I think you are kinda missing the point. The blockchain would define a secure protocol for voting, which you could independently verify. In such a distributed trustless system, you could even vote with your own device, provided you have the

Was about to post the same! Brave has some pretty cool upgrades incoming as well!

Can't the government do the same with cryptocurrencies though? They can also "arrest the criminal and return the stolen cryptocurrencies". Not very practical 99% of the time though...

I now see 522 errors! That is an improvement though, I guess...

Maybe these operations will incorporate solar + battery storage into their systems if they want to stay alive... Be less efficient and less productive, but be legal, environmentally and socially responsible (sucking this much power from the

I have no ties to the FreeBSD project or its foundation, but it seems very cheap for companies that profit billions of dollars yearly to only donate $25k to projects and foundations that support part of the software backbone of their infras
