Please tell me this is a joke. The fact tether trades readily on an exchange is a major factor for it being convertible, even if at a price you don’t like.

I don’t know where you got this advice from but this is precisely wrong from my reading of the rules. An asset exchange between two non legal tender assets is treated exactly the same as any other disposal and acquisition and absolutely is a chargeable event.

i would get rid of infinite scrolling.

it looks like in the future it might be a better way of implementing khttpd by handing over from a userspace control program the accept->read->sendfile->close sequence of async operations to the kernel

i predict this comment will age badly.

the rise of this submission to the front page and the swift sinking back under the waves, along with the vote war on comments here is interesting. this place isn't nearly so left-leaning as i'd assumed.

I like CDK because: 1. it's type-checked (using your choice of language/compiler) 2. modularity is done using in-app code, rather than extending serverless with plugins in javascript 3. i think cdk scales better to projects composed of multiple stacks 4. it's somewhat testable

it seems litestep is still alive.. just.

what's a blog? oh you mean a weblog. /s

RAF allows moustaches too. Apparently "not to extend below the edge of the mouth" which still leaves quite a lot of room for expression I would guess. Rule still applies while on secondment [1].

My Grandfather was born before the days of safety razors and tells me that Navy personnel were able to petition to avoid shaving on account of delicate skin (something about the salt water and fresh air). I think anybody who could grow a beard would have done.

The gentrification argument is strange to me.

Gentrification as an effect happens when an area becomes more desirable to live in. That means here that people place a positive value on public transport.

To deny an area the benefit of public transport based on some weird altruistic and paternalistic motive doesn't really seem credible.

It's really tail wagging the dog too. To say we should just keep areas shitty or undesirable to avoid gentrification seems totally backwards.

Possibly sightly obscure, but there's also an xmpp extension called BOSH[1] which is iirc long-polling applied to xmpp.

see the analysis of guccifer 2 and the dnc hack. i don't think there's a substitute for old-fashioned detective work. and luck of course.

without a doubt: Calculus in a single variable with Robert Ghrist https://www.coursera.org/learn/single-variable-calculus

for lots of people here it'll revisit some material you learnt at school but it does go further and the materials are fantastic and the exam at the end is no pushover either.

really? both Azure AD and AWS Cognito use RS256 as the only algorithm supported. perhaps my sample size is small.

as has NewRelic. https://blog.newrelic.com/2017/09/13/distributed-tracing-ope...

If you're in AWS land, try a step function triggered from SNS. Executions can last up to a year. To shell out to processes that actually perform the work either invoke a lambda or start an ECS task.

Is there any risk of the thinner blood leaving you predisposed to complications in the event of an unrelated traumatic injury?

..analagous to how Amber died in season 4 of House?

Chris Dillow is a good read on this topic

The next logical step is to mark with parentheses the two branches of the if expression:

  (if (or cond1 cond2) (then) (else))

assuming an epstein drive is possible yeah it opens up more or less direct brachistochrone trajectories between here and mars. Just wait until the planets align and burn.

We've had preview access at work. It seems nice enough and I'm looking forward to playing with the APIs. It does still rely on the other o365 components for features, which just shows up how janky lync and sharepoint can be.

we've had slack and irc and hipchat. honestly I don't care which chat system we use as long as internally we can all come to some kind of agreement. That speaks more to our er diverse user-group than the quality of any given chat system though.

I haven't been able to log in from a linux system unfortunately. The browser user-agent detection barfs on both chrome and firefox for me.

I like the trend towards taming async networks, like the nopaxos paper which show's what's possible when the network layer provides a total order on client requests.

Seems not completely unrelated to prior work to turn async networks into timed-async networks like with Spanner.

The Guardian style guide is the only one of the newspapers for which I could find an entry on this.

It recommends dropping the dots. I know we were taught in school to treat them as abbreviations and therefore include the dots so I'm not sure where this new fashion comes from.

A coworker showed me Akka Streams recently. It allows you to overcome the impedence mismatch between threadpools processing jobs at different speeds where one task feeds into another. Could be a neat way to join up the i/o bound tasks to the cpu bound tasks.

there are a lot of forks of linenoise out there now.

this one looks good, but it's a big task to pick through all the divergent copies of the code and figure out which ones have genuine improvements and which ones are now rotting.

there's a rust one too which i recently added mingw/msvc support to. that's actually an example of how this splintering could be causing problems because we've just vendored some upstream version of the native c code and changes may be difficult to send back upstream.

uk here. not sure i've ever seen a phillips screwdriver. we just use posidrive, but call it phillips all the same. i'm not old enough to remember pre-metric though.

For bootstrapping a kernel, I had trouble with cross compiling. My kernel doesn't yet support a libc hosted environment, so I use a i686-pc-elf gcc target with -ffreestanding. rustc works niceley if your target environment is similar enough to your dev environment, or if you are developing for android for which there's an sdk and rustc port already. I initially tripped up on this because i'm developing on osx currently, but targetting gnu. I just need the rustc equivalent of -ffreestanding. Alternatively I'll have to wait until I've got a proper i686-myos gcc and libc port.
