The Monero cryptocurrency's developers are all funded via the community via bounties. I think it works really well.

Slightly OT but why should I choose a JWT over creating some opaque token (random bytes) and storing that in a database mapping it to a user's ID?

It seems like people create short lived JWTs and then pass some opaque token to an auth endpoint to get a new JWT signed whenever the old one expires, or they store the JWTs in a database so that they can be revoked, making me question their usefulness.

You need to pay Oracle $lots for a GraalVM enterprise licence to get profile guided optimisations, if you want some of your peak performance back.

Try making your class final. Then it won't bother looking up the address of the virtual function in cases where it knows which class it is.

Having a proof of work function that did something useful outside of minting new blocks would be awful for a cryptocurrency.

You can opt-in to sharing some info with the popcon tool.

Mining with JavaScript or WebAssembly is no longer viable as being competitive now requires using a JIT compiler.

Nothing can really be done about it. Pool operators can ban the wallet addresses of known bot masters from connecting to their pool, but you can't really ban someone from participating in an anonymous decentralised network.

Epic are anti-Linux.

I use Gentoo Linux so it was as easy as putting the patches in a directory, and then rebuilding the kernel with the option to enable the synchronous cipher.

For Debian it's almost as easy: https://passthroughpo.st/patch-kernel-debian/

Yes, I'm running them on kernel 5.5.13 (which came out today)

See Monero. Transaction senders, recipients, and amounts are hidden by default.

It landed in the Gentoo tree 12 hours ago :D

There are also existing cashierless stores in China.

Seems like you can, but probably shouldn't since you'd want to run services like chrony to keep time inside the VM.

Can I run a single process in a Firecracker microVM, or do I need to bring a full distro?

Everything is configurable

But how many people are going to change it from the default?

Are you using a broken DNS server, like 1.1.1.1 from Cloudflare?

But I don't want to participate in dodgy cryptocurrency scams.

> Canada has very loose safety standards and cuts lots of corners.

That's just pretty objectively false.

Don't they still mine asbestos in Canada?

It would be nice if there was a way to block certain domains from Google (or any other search engine) results. There are also a lot of sites that seem like they scrape posts from StackOverflow that I would like to block too.

It's bullshit.

How do I invest in your startup!?!?

I don't, and it never ends well.

If it's a static method (or in an anonymous namespace in C++), it should get fixed at any optimisation level. However if it's a global method, you'll need to pass -flto to defer optimisations to link time to make it work.

Your SIM cards, credit/debit cards, GPG smartcard, Bitcoin hardware wallets, etc. already do (probably) run Java :)

It would be cool if somebody created some provably fair ransomware that used Bitcoin script or zero knowledge proofs or something. You pay the coins and are guaranteed the (correct) decryption key.

Don't use a Makefile with a bunch of phony targets. Either make use of the dependency graph or use a shell script.

You have to make your first payment via credit card so it's not anonymous unfortunately.

joepie91 maintains a list, but it looks like it's a couple of years out of date: http://cryto.net/~joepie91/bitcoinvps.html

How would a Sony or Nintendo exclusive be on Stadia?
