But is it worth billions? You just need to increase the cost 1000 fold and pay it back after a holding period to implement that. The drawback is it gets a lot more complex when using a token, because of the additional state, communication,

Proof of work can already be implemented without a token. Tor has such a feature for denial of service protection. https://blog.torproject.org/introducing-proof-of-work-defens... A benefit of a token is you can recycle prev

I can agree with that, though when something is patently false, I don't think it's wrong to point this out clearly. A misinformed reader could miss the nuance and mistake facts for options, which in this case could land someone in

False. When someone without your permission copies your source code, plans or inventions, which are not physical things, is this not theft? What about the non physical bits and bytes in your Dropbox or bank account? That's just like, a

Obviously the comment discusses a shared space. If you have your own room you can let your fart rips and sniff them for fun, pull out your dick and piss in a bottle for fun, clank on your loud toys for fun, all the things you should never d

The documentation exists. That's the best thing about it and it's a whole lot better than none. It has been worse too. Compared to Red Hat though, there's just no comparison.

Ericsson is currently using Erlang where appropriate. Open sourcing Erlang and it finding some success outside, meant it's no longer an in-house only language.

I don't think there's a significant difference and I don't see the importance of making the distinction.

This appears both incomprehensible and wrong, but let me check if I understood. Systems: - Lacks a GUI. - There are technical details. - Doesn't compete with applications. - Memory pressure is an issue. Applications: - Has a GUI. - Nee

Got it. Businesses heavily employing a B2C marketing strategy should employ Python, Java and JavaScript programmers, while the B2B equivalents should use C and C++. Very useful to be able to make these decisions on a higher level, so that p

Every software has a user. Other programmers are users too. In addition, all software is performance constrained, as no user has an infinitely fast computer or infinite time. Of course it's fuzzy and unimportant, they're just word

If glancing at the subject and bookmarking to later seldom go back to it allows you to move on, is that a problem? Just like you don't have to and cannot read every book in your lifespan, you can't read every blog post. Your bookm

Ironically this seemingly widespread issue makes the opposite even more true. That is, working correctly with Linux without patches would be a differentiator and a competitive advantage.

Ideally you use both, as both can find some more obscure issues the other may not. At least in the past. Either in isolation also works well, though Valgrind is really a suite of many tools.

Because you block legitimate visitors. After we ran out of IPv4 space and started to use CGNAT instead of IPv6, the internet has become a bastardized version of itself.

If you track and free all allocations diligently, you can also use tools to automatically find accidental memory leaks. If everything is a memory leak then useful tools become less so.

Even an offline game is dangerous. What if the save files are backed up and that storage is compromised? This allows an attacker to escalate access from one computer or service to others.

The other unsafe practice was thinking "works fine" testing is sufficient. Instead the tests should always have been executed with Valgrind or similar before delivery, instead of manually on a weekend.
