Money is serious business, why would anyone rely on a network that was released days ago? Also it defeats the main guarantee of Bitcoin - that everything can be trusted. Bitcoin would have had a great future if the big guys werent so greedy

No, its because for certain jobs you need certain qualities. They might upgrade this system, but who knows what else lurks in their basement. Its the same reason why you would not train a severely short-sighted person to be a sniper.

> don't ask unless you are confident you know the answer is yes. I don't know about the US, but where I come from you never know that the answer is yes until you ask. Unless you are approaching a prostitute.

Why are there currently 2 projects aiming to run C# code in WebAssembly? I mean this one and coreRT?

I am not an expert, but you should not hire colorblind people to operate a nuclear warning system.

I don't think Windows or Android are adware. They are "carrier" products, free but MS/Google can decide what services to bundle, and this is where they get the money (=app store, having Office preinstalled). So it's

Not that hard nowadays, just use something like SDL to do the heavy lifting.

Meltdown is not that hard to exploit: 1. Just download the POC, its a C program which reads the kernel memory at a speed of ~2KB/sec. 2. Deploy it to as many AWS instances as possible. 3. save the results somewhere and search it for st

Yeah, especially the backend part. Java is 1 node while PHP is 15? No mention of any functional language?

In most platforms impersonating a living person is against the TOS. If twitter were doing their job, they would ban them.

Easily replaceable. Like it was before smartphones. Your device has either a shit design or or are deliberately trying to rip people off if you need to go to a specialist to replace a damn battery. Also my laptop from 6 years ago can show t

Only in the short term. In the long run its more than worth it because: - It will be impossible to hire good AS3 experts. You will need to pay mountains of money to train juniors or hire the remaining experts. Programmers will always want t

AS3 has 2 rendering modes: CPU - this is an old API that can render vector based graphics. Every game before 2011 uses this API. GPU - Adobe introduced a thin OpenGL wrapper around 2011. This is a completely new API and looks very similar t

Looks really neat, its a pity that you are hardware-locked so its not usable to general apps like games.

No, this is one of the biggest misundertandings about the IQ tests. It does not measure inteeligence, it measures something which we tagged with the name "IQ". We cannot measure intelligence, since we cant even define it properly

Question: What data will be sent to the Microsoft servers? Lots of companies have very strict policies, most of them dont want their source code in any way at third parties.

For me it feels like you want to tweak Windows to be a clone of your OSX setup. Hint: it will never happen, same way you cant ever make OSX really like Windows. For example I could never find a good replacement for Paint.NET on OSX. I dunno

Same goes for lots of other places. A few years ago, even the earth map was full with these stripes when Google did not had good images from everywhere. Also check out Pluto, one half of the planet is just a smear.

Why does it not work in Edge? Please keep the web open, do not make stuff that does not work in a modern browser. Also always give an option to try it anyway.

this is why you package the whole JVM with it. This leads to a native executable without any dependencies (e.g. IntelliJ products)

Its not new, JavaScript has been around almost as much as Java which has a mature ecosystem since 10+ years. JS world has had this "We're almost there" attitude since the announcement of HTML 5 ten years ago.

Not true. What you describe is the mindset of a 17 year old who never was in a relationship that lasted more than 2 weeks. Yeah, when I was that age I was only going for the looks too. Now, 15 years and 3 long term relationships later I am

While I dont agree with the tone of the post above, I agree with the content. While its a noble thing to try to build a new phone OS, I dont see the slightest chance that it will take off. Look at others who tried and failed: - Ubuntu tryin
