You're not going to like it, but I think the men you usually find attractive are out of your league Also, unfortunately, in today's society, high value men have less incentive to settle down. That is sad. Someone desirable to you,

I think their business model is like a gym - they need people making an effort to cancel, not to renew... Crypto works for one-time payments, but it sucks for recurring transactions. Too much hassle to pay every month, people would just giv

People back then used to have (almost) free labor. That is one variable that also changed over time. All that pretty architectural features took a lot of effort and time. Usability is one factor, but many things past civilizations did were

Even though the actual figure is unknown it still a fair argument, thanks

silly question, being USDT "only" 80B, why does it matter if it collapses? considering cryptos market cap is more than 1T, and 100B's wipeouts routine, sometimes during crypto winters (where we observe -80% across the board)

OMG, again? Are we going to see this every week now? This guy has two jobs already and still has time to brag about and promote his blog? Please don't ruin the remote work for us.

He reviewed my first Go PR a few years back when I posted something new for rclone. He's super nice, indeed. Kudos Nick!

Print articles is optimized for reading not ads or SEO. Sadly the incentives makes the reader experience worse.

We all agree about how much important debian is for all tech community. Why is it so difficult to scale their snapshot service? Serving static files at scale is a solved problem. Am I missing something? Can't a cloud provider help them

Perceived value. It worths what people are willing to pay for. A lot of things work that way. Skeptics might wonder how long it would last, but less about how much it should be worth. People aren't only buying tech. We do have a lot of

I can't emphasize enough on this! The future doesn't give a damn about your reasoning, no matter how much well-tightened it is. Before us, uncountable incredibly smart people got mistaken. As Elon said, the most entertaining outco

Out of all stablecoins, I've found DAI the most interesting one, it's a beautiful engineer solution to tackle a problem. Backed by volatile assets, profits and interests (%). Every participant has a clear incentive/risk, trus

Trezor is great as an U2F device because it uses the same crypto seed to initialize all internal keys, including the U2F feature. So you only have to backup the seed phrase offline (paper is one of the safest medium when correctly secured,

It's not about today, but tomorrow. Inefficiency is way easier to fix than break paradigms. How much it spends per transaction now isn't that relevant.

Google Maps always do that in Brazil, it's so annoying. It recommends alternative routes to "save" you a couple of minutes. Dirt tracks, unmantained roads and sometimes danger neighborhoods (favelas). They should fix the alg

You actually can. It's possible to create app specific passwords. Well, a while ago at least.

The Twitch folks were facing a related situation with the GC. They developed a workaround that they called Ballast, reducing the overall latency and making it more predictable. Quite impressive results [0]. The Go's GC is groundbreaki

IMHO serverless is amazing if you clearly understand the bottlenecks and still see real benefits from it. Otherwise, you may exchange one problem for another (probably even worse).

To be fair, almost all non-maintained source codes becomes a problem, no matter the language, apply security fixes, update dependencies, handle all deprecated stuff, etc. isn't fun!

I think she's talking about ev1servers.net. I used to be their client. Yes, it was crappy white-boxes, but it worked okay with the proper setup. Look what happened with EV1Servers: EV1servers.net > bought by ThePlanet.com > bough

For Java exists the Project Lombok, it works pretty well for this purpose, you can use getters and setters without polluting the code with auto-generated stuff. Have some other cool features like fluent accessors, builders, auto cleanups fo

Apparently, they don't support external origins yet. IMHO without this feature they can't be considered a direct competitor to CloudFlare. Also, CloudFlare lately is adding a bunch of very neat features, it's not just about D

Entropy is not a problem, surely! The choice to return deterministic values for random() is a feature, not a bug. When you are crawling pages, looking for meaningful content changes and new links you probably don't want your random() c

IMHO the biggest issue is keeping the money sitting on multiple exchanges, that's very risky, especially these kinds of amounts to make arbitrage meaningful. The counterparty risk is high, crypt exchanges are not like banks or brokerag
