Ok, but in Rust or NodeJS an HTTP server may depend on a package A that depends on a package B that depends on a package C that then introduces a backdoor in its 1.0.1 release. In …

No. What I'm saying is that many of the dependencies in any language don't need to perform side effects, they only do pure calculations. For example a JSON parser takes a JSON stri…

You can't perform HTTP requests from a pure function without making it obvious in its signature that it does side effects. For example in a language like Haskell: add : Int -> Int …

We should switch to using pure functional languages by default. Most of the packages don't need to do any side effects and only perform pure calculations. In a pure functional lang…

No, const generics only work with compile-time constants.

You don't need to invest if you just want to use it.

Not possible unless majority of the nodes accepts the change.

It's great for doing cross-border transfers without restrictions as an example. For privacy there are Monero and mixers. The solution for volatility is stablecoins. DeFi can be use…

Tornado.cash

Monero is a private alternative to Bitcoin, all transactions are anonymous. Cardano, Solana, Algorand are smart contract platforms like Ethereum but with different technology and t…

Doesn't work without JS.

What do you mean by "finally"? It always was one the main use cases, doing p2p value transactions.

>You know, you can always do a bank transfer. Lol. In my country there is no easy way to do an international bank transfer. Crypto is literally the only solution I can imagine if I…

You can install an open source OS on it.

It's not even open source.

It can modify the state of the blockchain based on the inputs.

I think Medium works better with JS disabled, I don't remember seeing any paywalls there since I started to browse with JS disabled by default.

Doesn't work for me because my time zone is spoofed :)

Yes.

It can certainly break if YouTube changes something on their side, but I've never had huge issues, so it's probably not something that happens very often. But the mobile site is a …

In case you'd want to try it: NewPipe is open source and it's on F-Droid which is a very safe place to get apps from.
