But that is all solved with signing and verifying in cryptography. Why does it need to be on the blockchain? I think you are asking the same thing somewhat. In many countries (at least in the EU) the gov now has mobile apps (and horrible de

I still (after over 30 years as pro) develop stuff for fun on the site. I don't see that as work (and I don't see my work as work either these days either).

It is not comfortable but inside houses you do not freeze to death like that. Sleep in your clothes, buy an electric heater next to your bed, get an electric blanket etc. I slept for quite a long time like that in the Netherlands because my

I have a slew of sparcstations so that would indeed be cool if it works. They run Linux though; need to find an old Solaris copy then too I guess.

That's quite interesting. I had a mac at home and at the university we worked on Solaris machines (laughing at the 3 guys sitting in the Windows room); I always thought 'with a bit of polish on Solaris or a LOT of improved stabili

I wonder the same; often I look up programming things and the first links are videos. So I try to watch one and immediately I think; how can anyone anyone do work like this? I needed a flag for ls and was too lazy to read the man page; th

That's my issue too; it is fine for tv shows and movies to register if they are worth watching 'for real', but also there, if I am working on something hard, I often notice that 4 episodes have passed and I have 0 clue what h

It's great you do this really. More ideas on how to actually get to LEGO (promised in software for a long, long time) like development. But yeah, even more than languages, I would think you need a massive following to get traction. H

It is probably/definitely me but I watched the long video and did not learn anything and then read the GitHub example for a few minutes and got it. I have a hard time understanding why ‘young people’ (or maybe all people outside myself

Yeah, baidu was even worse. I asked my Chinese tech colleagues how the hell they got anything done at all with baidu and they said they just read manuals and don’t search. This was hardware and embedded, so cannot speak for other discipline

That is the same for any disease spreading that way like the flu right? I do not want to get the flu either (I never had it badly; worst I had anything, including mono, was a mild cold. Oh and cancer, mild as well luckily, but I mean viruse

I had to use Bing in China ; the things are search for are not censored, but it works as well as Altavista does begin 2000; 10 pages of spam and then maybe stack overflow. I downloaded actual manuals like in the 80s to cope. I created [0] j

People use custodial wallets which is a bad idea anyway; but it supports the original point; people generally do not understand or care about the basic premise of decentralisation (and, as such, have no interest in the added inconvenience,

Not many people use their siesta to actually nap though anymore: maybe in august when it is 40+ Celcius it goes up but that is a few weeks a year and tourists basically pass out then too from too much booze and food around siesta time.

I am most productive fixed hours (5 am to around 11am) but I usually work flexible because of ‘life’. So then I get around to 7-8 hours a day instead of doing the same work in 4-6 hours. That is ok for me.

Not that fine grained, but I enjoy nightmares very much. Best horror movies you actually feel you are part of. Usually they are about zombies or robots (galatica cylons from the old show to be precise); those are excellent and I am immortal

I never believed in anything religious or paranormal so I figured that people who have outer body experiences are, in fact, lucid dreaming. There are many books to learn OBE; I got one from the library and trained from it; one year, every n

I know how to explain them because they were dreams, but I can lucid dream on command (for the past 30 years; took 1 year of training) and I had many very realistic experiences other people would describe as religious apparitions or paranor
