If you've ever done an international wire, you know there's the form question "What intermediate bank to use". So at least the same if not less middlemen apply.

AI to start a 1 on 1 in 3 characters. Great. Ya'll don't do anything at work do you?

Everyone saying "muh GDPR" has no clue none of it applies to financial transactions. To get a PSD2 "Open Banking" license one needs to KYC every user and keep every transaction tha…

Can you provide an example of a 4th?

That's assuming the return on investment is _always_ lower than the rate of deflation. Which is, nonsense.

But wait, central banking is itself a scam! It's the only entity that doesn't have to balance its books.

Yet still we have no pictures of earth

If I'm a guest, visting NYC and looking for the next place to stay, I would be logged in and Airbnb would know very well I'm from out of town (payment details etc.)

Not necessarily: nix the package manager runs fine on other distros, as well as FreeBSD, OSX, Windows, SmartOS, ... Nix doesn't need fancy filesystem shenanigans to do its job: bui…

Two words: "Use NixOS".

I've been busy hacking together a SmartOS zone wherein the nix package manager runs. My plan is to use disnix to configure SMF services on it.

Dutch people and government are obsessed with (limiting) speed, instead of focussing on keeping distance. A nice effect of distance is less braking, which means less energy convert…

Your post explains time to first full packet. Yes that matters, not the first byte.

True. The msgpack serializer was probably used in a suboptimal way. The integer 3 can be encoded by msgpack in one byte as well. I never use doubles which is probably why I didn't …

I seriously wonder how it's possible that in his tests JSON got smaller than MsgPack. MsgPack is so close to JSON in structure, but very compact (1 byte type header, small numbers …

Ever since I've started programming in haXe, it became clear that the language you code in should never be completely tied to a single platform. This article hints at Flex dying an…

On my phone Flash works fine. On a WAP phone, I wouldn't be seeing anything. Like whenever I try to visit hacker news on my nokia 7110. Which is of course no excuse to make flash o…

Which is _exactly_ why HTML is not by definition better than Flash!

Isn't it quite easy to block USB storage devices at the OS level? I mean hiding the stick is clever, but it shouldn't really matter. If you only allow HID devices, the mouse still …

Makes me wonder how fast OS level garbage collection could be, without the need to have a virtual memory layer in between...

30% faster, because it's a rewrite? SWF is a very compact format and text rendering is optimized for speed (animation). I doubt their flash viewer was built on decent code...

I got my macbook pro last november with the new connector. The MagSafe connector is already broken. I attach/detach it maybe 3 times a day. Seeing everyone I know that has a macboo…
