Looking forward to Tether taking top position on this leaderboard and beating 2nd place by a factor of 1000.

> you'll do it better if you understand hardware. Oh for sure. I agree. That's not what we're arguing though.

90% of the time when people say South America they're referring to the poor Spanish speaking countries. Let me ask you this... do you include Greenland in your definition of North America.

by BrissyCoder 5y ago
Sure, but no one blinked and eye until you pointed it out. Everyone knows that North America really means Anglo America.

Hardware doesn't exist in any meaningful way for 90% or professional programmers anymore. Way too much abstraction for that to be an argument.

I'm pretty much of this point of view as well. Guess my point is that BTC/ETH/XRP etc... weren't started with scamming in mind. They were genuine projects in their own right. Of course the market and investment in crypto

> These scams are very common.. there are thousands of them. IMO an easy way to spot a scam... does it have it's own blockchain? If not probably a scam.

These will be everywhere in a few years so not idiotic just downright evil.

I'm just keen to ask them if they ever found a use for the Blockchain.

It's just bugs in instrumentation.

This is exactly the reason I come here rather than Reddit. Honestly HN feels like one of the last corners of the internet where it's possible to have a rational discussion, disagree with strangers and still be civil.

> how is this bad? The argument on crypto has happened on HN countless times - no point in rehashing it. Obviously I hold a negative opinion. My point is that young people do stupid shit.

Why are young and inexperienced people doing something stupid? Because they're young and inexperienced (and stupid). >This includes digital coins and blockchains, like bitcoin and ethereum; meme coins, like dogecoin; NFTs, or nonfun

"Cryptocurrency is a fractal set of scams all the way down." I really like that description. Did you come up with that?

Well that's great for seeing commit message but not the actual contents of the commits. And I can't click on those commits and get context verbs.

I use ReSharper but didn't realise they had a git tool. Will check it out. Thanks.

I'd be fine with Git if it wasn't for every single GUI for it being a steaming pile of crap. I use CLI for committing/pushing/branching etc... But anyone who pretends that CLI is adequate for inspecting history and chang

Can't imagine working in an office again. The bathrooms, the bad food you inevitably end up eating, the hour a day lost to commute, the interruptions, having to shower and wear pants. Yuck.
