   If you're a programmer and in a first-world country I'm not sure I'd count you as one of the losers. I'm thinking of people in the gig-economy and workers at Amazon warehouses etc...

   Why on earth do 99.5% of programmers even need to know what SSD stands for?

   No I'm serious, happy to have a conversation and will consider your arguments. I should point out that I also think there may be some value in cross border remittance (something like XRPs use case). I do think smart contracts are large

   Can I buy drugs using this service? Because that is seriously the one and only legitimate use for cryptocurrencies that I've come across after 10 years of dabbling in this space.

   Sounds like something a non-aeron owning peasant would say to me.

   I got three for $50 each when my last company moved to a bigger office. They spent millions fitting out this new swanky 3 level space but skimped on chairs. Left a couple of months later and now WFH full time in my comfy Aeron.

   And without an oracle smart contracts are useless for anything that relates to the real world. And guess what folks... we live and spend our money in the real world. This has been the problem with smart contracts since day one. It is that s

    Modern C++ is actually quite readable now imo - fairly close to C#. Has come a long way in the last 20 years. That being said most code out there is legacy of course...

    Has anyone found the app? EDIT: Website https://www.anom.io/ (presumably the app has been taken off of app stores).

    I think there's another class of "clever/amazing" code that wraps up esoteric language features in easy to use APIs/libraries. So while the actual implementation can be quite hard to follow/understand (especial

    Yeah - I don't actually think I've ever seen that kind of language in technical docs. I don't think this problem exists. Maybe for some very experienced juniors... but you'd hope they'd get that silliness slapped ou

    Funny we both seem to have a lot of licenses for software we never use. I just went and checked the desktop version of Word (which I haven't used in years)... https://imgur.com/8POWvrq Has a save button but superimpose

    Yeah I realise that... I just assumed it doesn't have a save button. Am I wrong? Let me go check I guess... EDIT: Yep - no save button.

    Honestly one of the biggest perks of WFH full-time is being 10 metres from my own private bathroom where I can take my 11am dump with the door open and in relative luxury.

    Me and my buddy in NZ tried unsuccesfully taking San Pedro cacti twice before we made an extract that worked: around six shot glasses each of a deep green viscous liquid that was the most horrible tasting shit I've ever swallowed.

    I don't understand why all these janky scripting languages like python and javascript have to make boolean operations (a kind of important aspect of a programming language one would think) so darn complicated.

    My first Windows system was a Win 95 Pentium 75 with 8 megabytes of memory. Can't remember how big the hard drive was. At the time - coming from an Amiga with 1 megabyte - 8 megabytes seemed like an obcene amount of memory but due to t

    I think it's a myth that NZ "punches above it's weight" is all. Show me some empirical evidence if you disagree. I'm a Kiwi too - but living in Aus.
