Ransomware, for one. Bugs. Accidents. In general, it's good security practice to keep a set of backups offsite, and disconnected.

That doesn't follow. The very core of Ethereum is also PoW, and they're migrating to PoS.

I think PG writes well, thinks clearly, and occasionally has some very good essays. But I do get the sense that he's trying really hard to show how deep a thinker he is. (I'm not sure if this has always been the case, or it's

You can consider reframing the problem: what's the best I can do, given the constraints (time, money, resources, etc.) I find that I'm most creative when I'm constrained. And these types of mindset hacks allow me to enjoy wha

Not really a fair comparison. Backblaze doesn't thumbnail, index, transcode, compress, collage and animate, or run AI models on your data (e.g., for face/object detection, gene.) Running all that for 28 billion photos a month cost

Bits rot. If you want your data to last the next 40 years, plan for spending a few hours every 5 years migrating your storage. It's a far better plan than trying to predict what the world will be like 40 years from now.

The cryptocurrency space is quite alive, and is thriving. As much as people like to hate on it, the whole space rife with engineering, social, and economic challenges that attract geeks. Unfortunately, it attracts a lot of scammers too.

As I understood it -- if you're tested low, you can take 5 - 10k per day for about a month to restore your levels, then drop down to 2 - 5k daily. High doses over a long period is toxic, and low doses are ineffective.

FWIW, I don't consider bubblesort as trivia -- it's literally the simplest and most obvious sorting algorithm. IMO, it's a lot harder to understand more complex algorithms unless you have at least these basics in your head.

Two decades of vim here, and I switched to VS Code. As a "professional developer", it's just nicer to use, and makes me feel way more productive than ever. I definitely wouldn't call it a toy.
