Learn to program with Assembly by Jonathan Bartlett is what you’re looking for. I read the previous version and it was great.

From what I can tell, they simply made an observation. You're the one applying a value judgment to their statements. Pointing out that different tribes use rhetoric to "other" outsiders isn't creating a false equivalence

They actually didn't and I don't know why you think they did.

As callous as it is, I think this is par for the course of human history. Progress demands sacrifice :/

Burn Math Class follows that tradition, although it starts pretty basic, so it requires some patience. https://a.co/d/fZnWUU8

I've had a MathAcademy subscription for some time and it's quite good. I'd say it's best at generating problems and using spaced repetition to reinforce learning, but I think it falls short in explaining why something is

I highly doubt your claim. There is no mechanism to send money internationally (at least in Canada) that is both near-instant and free or near-free.

Right, I use SOL, not Bitcoin. Transactions are pretty much instant and cost a couple cents.

If you know a way to pay someone across the world in seconds for cents in transaction fees, I’m open for alternatives.

That's actually quite worrisome. I don't really think twice about downloading the top result for things like PayPal or local banking apps if I get a new phone, for example.

Takes like these are so moronic it hurts. I just paid an artist across the globe for some icons; the transaction took seconds to resolve and cost me cents to send via SOL. The closest I've come to that is Canada's eTransfer system

Never thought about it like that. Thanks for sharing that perspective.

I'm happy the spam and investment FOMO has died down, but crypto has been insanely useful for making payments for me. It's hard to beat nearly instantaneous international payments with tiny fees.

I wouldn't say it's a Ponzi scheme, but I tend to agree that they aren't much different because the price of the stock or crypto only goes up by the demand for said security. The only thing that matters in the end for an inve

Two things I enjoy about crypto: 1) I can send large payments effortlessly. I tried to move large sums using eTransfers last year and the friction is just unreal. I don't give a shit about my bank's arbitrary monthly limits 2) Fuc

I've worked in tech in Vancouver for a decade. I wouldn't recommend it if the US is an option for you or if it's not remote work. The salaries are still quite far behind the US and the cost of living in any of the major citie

You can get Z690 DDR4 boards. That's what I had to resort to so we could test our software on the i5-12600k. Getting a CPU cooler with an LGA 1700 compatible bracket was actually the hardest part.

Yep. My first developer position was at an audio software company that made a plugin used by EDM artists. The year our software was cracked (2009ish), our sales dropped by 65%. Support tickets also nearly quadrupled including a massive incr

I'm fairly certain he has considered it. I don't think it's possible to have a debate on free speech where that's not addressed. I touched on it in one of my other replies below: "I'm not a proponent of unlimit

Ironically, you come off as one of those "verysmart" persons you mock since Hitchens addresses the "shouting fire in a crowded theater" analogy in the same video I linked. At the beginning I might add.

My online banks keep getting worse, crypto keeps getting better. That resonates with me after my bank shut down my ability to transfer money (via eTransfer) because I hit their arbitrary $20,000 limit for the month. I had to wait TH

Yeah, I'm not sure. Even if a direct CAD pairing wasn't available, I've always been able to exchange my tokens for USDT and then exchange that for CAD and eTransfer it to my bank.

For sure, I'm not a proponent of unlimited free speech. It's those grey areas that concern me. Like, using Hitch's example, is holocaust denial hate speech or an incitement to violence? Under certain circumstances, I imagine
