I really like how this article is written. I'm a big time crypto fan, but the point the author makes about how something being decentralized makes it more difficult to change is so true. This is the reason Ethereum 2 has been in the w

The carbon footprint you refer to applies only to proof-of-work blockchains. Unfortunately 3 of the largest systems use this (bitcoin, Ethereum, and doge) but an alternative has already been created called proof-of-stake. Nearly every new

As a Missourian, it's honestly embarrassing and increases my distaste for the land where I grew up and still live.

His use of the word "decrypted" shows at least some lack of understanding. The SSNs were in base64 as I understand it so "decoded" would make sense but as we all know these two concepts are vastly different. He uses the

While I dont completely agree with you, you do make good points. I would argue that Cryptocurrencies lacking sovereignty is what makes it appealing and gives it value for most users. Bitcoin is seen as an inflation hedge for many investor

How is that any different from Fiat money? Or anything for that matter. It holds no real value beyond the paper it is printed on. It is valuable because we all agree as a society to give it value.

Most layer 1 Blockchains are trying to replace the existing payment processing systems such as visa. Not replace all of our computing infrastructure (although some are trying to do this such as ICP)

Smart contracts are huge in crypto currency and are likely here to stay. Afaik all of the top 10 crypto currencies by market cap have smart contracts or plan to have them except bitcoin and tether. They power decentralized apps and defi. W

Audio plugins is one case. Dplug disables the GC because of an issue on MacOS. So far there is no workaround so we have to write @nogc code.

Do you have any numbers on how much fan capacity actually goes toward crypto mining? I would think its relatively small in the grand scheme of things.

By that logic we should ban stock exchanges as well.

Yes RIAA really shot themselves in the foot with this one. I had also never heard of ytdl before this. Now I fully intend to use it and support it. Maybe I will use it to go download some Taylor Swift songs... Maybe I won't ;)

I'm using freetaxusa.com for the first time this year. I got fed up with TurboTax after being hit with a similar anti-pattern as the ones described above. Got almost to the end and was told I had to pay $80 to file. This was after sp

I use GD simply because their advertising worked. When I registered my first domain I didn't know where else to start and just haven't bothered to transfer to another provider.

Same here. Its really exciting to see something you are waiting for go into the kernel. Are you waiting for the lenovo legion and patches by chance?

I'm fairly new to the game, but I'm a solo developer. Currently I dont make enough to quit my day job, but it is a nice supplementary income, and it's nice to get paid a bit for something I truly enjoy. There are also severa

I found some supporting evidence from bulbapedia "Clefairy was originally going to be the official mascot of Pokémon, but Pikachu was used instead due to the popularity of the anime and Pikachu's familiarity with fans". Sourc

I seem to recall watching a video somewhere, perhaps on Didyouknowgaming, that Clefairy was intended to be the Pokémon mascot before Pikachu. I could be completely wrong here, but if so that is really cool to think it may have had its own g

Wow what a coincidence! I got excited because I thought someone had posted my project which is also called Ddsp! Mine stands for D Digital Signal Processing since it is written in D. Just going to shamelessly post it here. https:/&#x

Yeah they added expiremental support for CLion in v1.17 but it still has a long way to go. https://github.com/intellij-dlanguage/intellij-dlanguage/blo... I would love to see CLion support get better since we coul

Same here. The Intellij plug-in for D is getting there but has a long way to go. I tried it in IDEA and made some contributions to it but it is still a bit away from being usable for professional work and it's even farther from being u

Vscode is my preferred editor as well. I recently switched to Dlang from code-d. To me Dlang has felt more stable. I frequently switch back and forth across multiple OSs and computers so the most reliable is what I will go with. I also l

Reaper to me is the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to DAWs. I purchased it about 7 years ago for $60 and I'm still receiving updates to this day. They just added linux support not long ago and I was thrilled. Also the Reap

Absolutely. It bothers me that most people think the solution to fixing bad practices in companies is to have the government regulate it. It just gives the government more power and strangles the market. It prevents innovation IMO. We as
