I immediately thought of the book Go, Dog Go! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go,_Dog._Go ! The old gopher wasn't serious either, but at least it was fun.

My sister ordered me a copy of that book on Amazon for my birthday in mid-2016. Then she was surprised that it was a pre-order and I wouldn't get it until October. It still isn't done. Like a good wine I guess.

This is the only believable explanation I have seen on this bizarre result. I kept looking to see if the article was from the Onion.

NOT a dup. A much more HN focused article than the rest of the FF articles today. This one explains why Rust was useful and what it was actually used for in today's release.

And indeed the difficulty adjusted and the bulk of the miners returned to BTC. They have too much money invested to have an ideology. For the most part, miners will follow the money. Price discovery, you will have mining on each chain in pr

That https://fork.lol site is fascinating. Thanks for linking to it. Right now BCH has a way higher hash rate than the difficulty, but that is going to adjust in 8hr or sooner if the trend continues. At that point, BTC will agai

BTW. Netflix is in the process of transitioning to TLS (https) transport. Not because they need it for any reason, but because shady advertisers keep snooping connections and using that to profile users. Netflix is tired of being accused of

I have heard it described like this. Suppose you want to hire some real kernel talent. So you go to a Linux conference looking for people. When you get there the conference is crowded with idiots, advertisers, and companies. No way to find
