Third-parties take care of this bureaucracy for you. Check out the Phoenix wallet, for example. (Unaffiliated, I hold some pocket money on there not to run a Lightning node myself) The on-chain transaction is just to "fund" a chan

I know people here love to hate it, and it's a very very controversial topic, but this here, is a good use case for Bitcoin [1] Now that we have Lightning and hyperfast micropayments, can we have a good plug-and-play payment processor

(2019) In the era of 4k screens, modern Linux distros have great font rendering and I won't take Windows as an example of "good rendering", unless font distortion because of strong hinting is a metric of quality. It is just a

I do see the point of the author: HZD goes for a "realistic", high-fidelity 3D fantasy world, yet the lighting makes no sense in physical terms. The contrast and brightness shown in the picture are all over the place, and can only

Go into your profile settings, and enable "showdead". Very controversial comments get censored^Whidden so that's why you don't see them. Mine's a measly -4 points for saying Reddit is terribly unfunny. I'll be

Ah yes, the same comment chain memes one can find at the top of every single goddamned thread on reddit. So much fun.

There are many versions and derivatives of Emacs (Torvalds famously uses another one), so my question is: what makes an editor an Emacs-clone? Is it the usage of a Lisp? The idiosyncratic keybinds? The "everything-is-a-buffer" par

Unless struct _IO_FILE is expanded elsewhere, yes, it's opaque and can only be interacted through a pointer, as it would otherwise be an unsized object.

The aura was a very brilliant green, which reminded me of an hallucinogenic experience I had. I was sat with friends in the city centre, my brain altered by chemical substances, and I spotted a guy 100m away with the most brilliant and beau

To be fair, most of Chrome’s budget is spent on developing ever more complex web standards to stay ahead of the competition, and to make sure no one will ever catch up to them.

It's work most people don't need to do unless they're an actor or they really need to pass for a native speaker. So maybe not hard, but often unnecessary and costs $$$.

That said, if you have a foreign accent people expect a certain (low to average) level of fluency and can get quite confused if you use native idioms or slangs, which they only expect from native speakers with a native accent. There’s no wa

Thank you for the pointers, I will check those out. Though whatever the protocol it’s only a matter of time before these places get infested as well by bots, bad actors or bad behaviour in general.
