Satoshi supported big blocks in his writings and empowered the pro-big block Gavin when he disappeared. Adam is a well known supporter of small blocks, ultimately the "winning" side of the debate. They are not the same person.

Excellent power efficiency in apple silicon - good battery life and good performance at the same time. The aluminum body is also very rigid and premium feeling, unlike so many creaky bendy pc laptops. Good screen, good speakers.

Mozilla should restructure its governance such that leadership is elected by their employees - preferably their software developers.

the whole pc laptop industry really is an embarrassment right now. It has been 5 years since the M1 Macbook release, and there is no real equivalent. I'm on a thinkpad x9, which might be the closest I've seen, but the cpu performance just isn't as good.

Companies in situations like these keep making this blunder when the solution is so right in front of them: use the AGPLv3.

I think this comment is emblematic of a broader western trend underestimating recent Chinese technological development. It is understandable, given how backward they were for so long. The last five years though, things have really gotten crazy over there in terms of investment and progress.

The whole point of restricting the block size was to ensure space in the blockchain was scarce to drive the price of fees up, better securing the network. Well, that and keeping the blockchain total size small enough to be processed on an regular user's PC for decentralization sake. While a loss of some decentralization is non-ideal, increasing the block size dynamically, similarly to how difficulty is handled, would be a reasonable compromise to ensure the security of the network long term.

Consider the AGPL, it is a criminally underutilized license ideal for the current zeitgeist.

I'm glad the AGPL is getting some attention; it is the ideal open source license in the age of big tech

Cant wait to see this in a framework laptop

Who were their funders and why did they stop?

How much vram is need to run this?

interesting to see that the i7-1370P model had the same battery life as the Ryzen 7 7840U - I would have expected a larger delta

I guess this shows that deficit spending works to increase GDP, but we already knew that.

I used ubuntu for years and decided to give Arch a try on my media pc. Was way easier than I expected as it now has an installer, archinstall. Honestly the whole arch elitism thing no longer makes sense.

How is this relevant considering DisplayPort alt mode has been a thing for a while?

I suppose it is a testament to the quality of your software if people break the law just to use it

but... how does it work?

How does Mojo deal with memory management? Does it have the same memory safety issues as C and C++?

The market desperately needs an alternative to CUDA, but I just don't see AMD doing it

Unfortunately there aren't any FOSS solutions for using an android phone as a webcam.

why would anyone use this over something like signal?

how does this compare to ipfs.io?

Apple refuses to fix a critical security vulnerability[0] in non-Yosemite versions of OS X

He's not disputing that. Objective C has been able to run on Linux for years. Essentially, nobody actually uses Objective C on Linux even though they technically could. The same will probably be true for Swift.

is that from the unabomber manifesto?

the thing is, you won't be able to side-load extensions. There will be no about:config option. You will be forced to use the Development or Nightly versions to get that freedom.

that's what bitcoin is for. A cold wallet, encrypted and backed up in multiple places would solve that problem.

Regardless, eyewitness testimony is not reliable[0]. Many people have claimed to seen UFO's, Aliens, and crimes that people did not commit.
