Yes. We're literally reading a Bloomberg article reporting on the black market rates. It means the black market is so huge that prices have a centralized market with a unique, well-known rate, information chains to communicate that rat

I like the name. At least I remembered it easily enough that I was able to give the name to a coworker 1hr later. To me it sounds related to hashing passwords and to the DigitalOcean inspiration, which is enough to remember it. People will

Your concern is right, but how could we have solved it? I think it's a composition of the Reflection API, the Java style of not accepting optional function parameters, and the pluggable systems. We call the first framework function, wh

In my case, the worst psychological trauma (because we have to call it what it is) were given by women. Specifically, one at high school and one who was my girlfriend. Society hasn't punished those women, and when I seeked for help, so

The proof of misinformation is the BBC article itself: It starts with an inconclusive study and ends with a definitive title. I could provide you with the hundreds of papers I've once stumbled upon[1], but it would be useless in convin

I didn't even know MacOS when I migrated. I just did it because I literally couldn't work anymore in Ubuntu. I just knew some people could get the job done in Mac, which doesn't happen to be the case with Ubuntu.
