The only one chance Mozilla had is to finish Firefox conversion to Rust, a complete conversion. That would have made development and updates easier. Apparently, by firing most of the team they put a writing on the wall. It's just a que

There are also IARPA[1] and ARPA-E[2] (and few others as well). ARPA-E is more "peaceful" agency. [1] https://www.iarpa.gov/index.php/research-programs [2] https://arpa-e.energy.gov/

It does work though - I use it from time to time. Helped to maintain it before, in fact, but too busy with other projects.

I didn't mean Ethereum itself, apparently the bug is in whatever code written at the higher level, inside the exchange or whatever service they use.

Why not to migrate to the PostgreSQL which can handle more data and load than MySQL or MariaDB? It's also better at partitioning.

This is why in "classic" fintech they used so-called "decimal" fixed-point numbers for decades. To not use COBOL as an example let's check something more modern, e.g. Rust[1]. [1] https://github.com/

What's so bad about AMP? If anything, it makes many news sites more "readable", less junk and distraction. Walled garden? Yes, but so is Apple ecosystem, which is this extension for.

AI is not conscious being. Yet. In the future, once we have AGI - yes, these laws and society will need to change to accept them, rather than enslave. But currently AI is just a buzzword.

Not the same. It's only for use in computers with SDR hardware attached AFAIK. Nothing ready to flash into the phone firmware and just use it like OsmocomBB allowed with these Motorola phones.

It will become the only way for growing meat if climate change will be not stopped.

Biggest missing piece in all these "free" phones is giant (bigger than Linux kernel) baseband firmware blob. Until we have something like Osmocom but for LTE, LTE-A, 5G, etc, all this is pointless.

Banking apps are often the worst from the speed and user experience perspective as well. It's like they hire worst developers to work for them.

Then it's probably faster and easier to rewrite it in Go from scratch.

The biggest problem with GitHub Actions that you can't restart just one job[1], it always restarts all jobs in the workflow. And this bug is not fixed for quite a while. Travis CI and Appveyor both allow that, of course. [1] https:&#x

For high-performance there is BioJulia[1][2] ecosystem. They did comparison with Seq specifically[3]. If you are willing to help improving the state of the biology and genomics in Julia language, they accept donations[4] as well. [1] https

> Why would it be impossible to run Java on low performance machines? In some abstract case - yes, it's possible. In many concrete cases, including I2P, Java-written code is quite resources-consuming for anything close to the router

Nice to see they implemented [1] it in a much better language than Freenet or I2P - Rust. [1] https://github.com/maidsafe

There is one more key difference - I2P has C++ implementation[1] which allows it to be run on the low-performance machines, e.g. routers. It is impossible in case of Java. I wish it had been Rust, though... [1] https://github.com

Rust is good but the GUI support is far from perfect, especially Qt-based interfaces.

PC BIOS and UEFI are a mess as well. They are proprietary blobs guarded by Intel and alike. At least ARM had most bootloading open with uBoot, for example. Also PC firmware code on modern platforms is often bigger than Linux kernel. Hardly

International bank transfers as well. Most of the time they are uber slow, depending on the country could take multiple days. Until banks start to seriously address this problem even Bitcoin would beat them effortlessly.

For anyone who wants to help the project - they accept donations via GitHub Sponsors[1], targeting $6k a month to hire a full-time developer, but falling short of it. [1] https://github.com/sponsors/neovim

Maybe they can cooperate - use the backend of this project in Rust and the native Qt UI from Ripcord instead of this Electron abomination. A perfect synergy.
