I hate to give Apple any ideas... but I've always wondered why macOS/iOS support falling back to software rendering, when all of their devices ship with a known GPU configuration. Without that fallback, getting the OS running on n

If I knew I only had a few weeks/months of freedom left, I'd spend my time doing something other than writing blog posts.

Last I checked, mDNS didn't support Windows (requirement for our household) but it looks like it does now. I'll play with it next time I set up a new machine.

No security key, just my face. That link also seems to say it can be used without an online account. Hence my question.

There's also losses when transporting electricity. A pipe can be made perfectly airtight, but a wire cannot be made perfectly efficient* *Yes I know about superconductors, that doesn't apply here

Likely OpenAI wants to retain control of their company. If they keep 51%, they have a majority stake.

Fair enough. I was criticizing their consumer side and the exchange specifically. I don't know anything about their business products.

Afaik they support the backwards-compatible parts, but nothing new. I'm talking specifically about "Receive to P2WPKH/P2WSH" in this chart: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bech32_adoption#Exchanges

Coinbase is technologically kind of a joke. Their matching engine is crap. They haven't even adopted bech32. They just do the bare minimum to keep things working for 99% of users, and for the unlucky 1% they follow the same customer su

To change the algorithm, all three of miners, users, and nodes would have to agree to the change. If there is any disagreement, the network continues running under current consensus rules. In fact, a majority of miners did try to strongarm

88 is also the number of keys on a piano. Maybe Canada is a big fan of Beethoven? Or maybe they just bought the exact number they needed without worrying what conspiracy theories internet commenters would dream up.

Alan Kay was one of the few people in 1974 qualified to make predictions about computers. I'd compare that to Andreas Antonopoulos making predictions about bitcoin in 2011. I wouldn't trust your average journalist's predictio

Even if your premise is right, your timing has to be right too. The SP500 has doubled since 2014 which lines up with the traditional 7% per year. Meanwhile they're paying 12% per year to short, so their approach is a compounded 22% wor

I recently installed arch and when you select i3 it makes you choose between i3-wm and i3-gaps. This led me down a bit of a rabbit hole, but in the end I was happy to find I didn't have to choose between forks after all!
