They did release an API for BCH, which makes sense to release early, for merchants.

I don't know of UI slips, but that'd be incompetente, yes.

There's more than one Proof of Stake cryptocurrency, and Ethereum does want to go PoS sometime.

PoS have been around for 3 (maybe 4?) years by now.

Proof of Stake is quite genius in the politics of it, and the power needed to run is minimal (you still need to keep your hardware powered on)

Oh yeah! Fresh Italian Paninis! They're the best Paninis!

Yeah, we poles are as obsessed with our prononciation as much as italians are obsessed with their food.

People form other countries just can't get it right :)

Isn't there a new law forbidding the waiving of class action no matter what the eula says?

This is very true. You'll probably hate your MD studies with all your guts by the end of the first year. You'll hardly make it though if money is your only motivation.

Yeah, the game seems fitting.

Shame that there's no mechanism to automatically execute a script from the internet someway...

I remember using Totaljs (the framework) for a pet project a couple of years ago when I was willing to check out the nodejs hype for myself. Websocket support was nice.

I should have probably gone for something more "traditional" like Express (to learn proper node), but I have to say that coming from Java/Spring, I felt quite at home with it. Also, learnt a lot about callback hell.

Nice to see they went on with the project and built some stuff on it. Open source looks like the way to go for them, which is a good thing for everyone.

That's a great idea for training an AI for, and someone totally has already done it. I'm training myself to (be able to) live off the grid when time comes.

Where did we go wron?

Closed source. It's a choice.

To be fair, some (most?) of the advances wouldn't have been possible without economic competition between manufactors, but closed source/closed design/closed production is bound to produce result like these. So, i don't know... Tradeoffs?

The remark about the team complaining is the most important above anything else.

conventional avenues of social media

What's conventional about social media? Someone with the least love of self should seriously stay away from that.

Obligatory xkcd https://xkcd.com/686/

I have something very simple, A folder called FFR = For Future Reference, where I'll keep the most interesting stuff. Trusting Trust (and Overcoming Trusting Trust), Windows' NSA_KEY, and the like. Most are in the folder with no further hierarchy, but some are categorized into Security, DIY, UI/UX, Gift Ideas, etc.

I also have bookmarks at the root level for things that I will Definitely See Tomorrow™, which I never erase, because hey, They could be important.

Since it's the weekend, have this extremely educational video about languages https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

I totally love this, expecially for learning other peoples code and habits.

If it only had a CLI so that I could use it directly from my terminal...

Does that mean I can run my own pocket server at home? That'd be neat and useful, I don't need any more profiling as is.

My thoughts exactly.

I have a recurrent issue where I have two graphics cards in my laptop (it's practically a standard for years now). A decent high power card, and a simple low power card maybe integrated into the processor.

When you start an application, one of the two cards will handle that application.

I generally can't my browser with the high power card; probably because browser vendors don't want to sacrifice battery life all of the time for some fancy effects a small slice of the time.

But I'm no expert. Chrome seems to handle things better than Firefox, that's why I still have it.

I'm missing (and the article doesn't exactly state) what the fitness function is here.

It might just as well don't care about being shot at.

I was told (but didn't verify it myself, nor have any sources on this) that in Half Life 2 (2004), your enemies would "learn" from your attack patterns and adapt to it. At the same time, as to make the game enjoyable/chellenging and not frustratingly difficult, the agents would adjust their difficulty level to your skill. Take it as an anecdote.

And this is why parallel/concurrent computing/applications are necessary to ease speedups. And that's what the new languages promise to let you get right. For the same effort.

I'm looking at you Chrome Dev Tools...

Puns aside, Who on earth would make a blind person work on UI? I think it's better that you parted with them, even tho I'm sorry you have trouble finding a good job.

Best of luck.

I'd take the striking simplicity of a lisp anyday compared to this mess.

Yeah, I know, I'm not good enough, I didn't study enough, I'm not enlightened enough. But why make things so overly comples in the first place?

I think you are correct, and that GP is also right. No product will sell without good SEO.

Is there a computer-voice teddy-bear version of this?

I find them much better than walls of text.

Where can I get custom keycaps for it?

All the caps everywhere are for modern switches.

meeeeeta.

I was about to say something similar, just checking out if someone had already said it.

I just don't dig the obsession with "aesthetics". It just doesn't compute. I understand the need for simplicity, but there's JUST NO PLACE for aesthetics in science. We need simple verifiable experiments and results, no "my model is more beautiful than yours" stupidity.

One important thing: scientists need to recognize where science ends and passion/preference begins. Scientism is the greatest foe of science.

Disclaimer: I'm not a scientist.

"due diligence", "due diligence", "due diligence"

I mean, I know it's a term, but the literal meaning... If they had been diligent where/when diligence was due, all of this was evitable.

Also, they should really do some legal action on the guy. Not because of revenge, but to try to save others from future actions of the con man. Public shaming is just not so stylish.
