I really like how this article is written. I'm a big time crypto fan, but the point the author makes about how something being decentralized makes it more difficult to change is so…

The carbon footprint you refer to applies only to proof-of-work blockchains. Unfortunately 3 of the largest systems use this (bitcoin, Ethereum, and doge) but an alternative has al…

As a Missourian, it's honestly embarrassing and increases my distaste for the land where I grew up and still live.

His use of the word "decrypted" shows at least some lack of understanding. The SSNs were in base64 as I understand it so "decoded" would make sense but as we all know these two con…

While I dont completely agree with you, you do make good points. I would argue that Cryptocurrencies lacking sovereignty is what makes it appealing and gives it value for most user…

How is that any different from Fiat money? Or anything for that matter. It holds no real value beyond the paper it is printed on. It is valuable because we all agree as a society t…

Most layer 1 Blockchains are trying to replace the existing payment processing systems such as visa. Not replace all of our computing infrastructure (although some are trying to do…

Smart contracts are huge in crypto currency and are likely here to stay. Afaik all of the top 10 crypto currencies by market cap have smart contracts or plan to have them except bi…

Or by people who do know better and have malicious intent.

Audio plugins is one case. Dplug disables the GC because of an issue on MacOS. So far there is no workaround so we have to write @nogc code.

Do you have any numbers on how much fan capacity actually goes toward crypto mining? I would think its relatively small in the grand scheme of things.

By that logic we should ban stock exchanges as well.

Yes RIAA really shot themselves in the foot with this one. I had also never heard of ytdl before this. Now I fully intend to use it and support it. Maybe I will use it to go downlo…

I always wondered how 3blue1brown created his videos! Thanks for sharing

I'm using freetaxusa.com for the first time this year. I got fed up with TurboTax after being hit with a similar anti-pattern as the ones described above. Got almost to the end and…

I use GD simply because their advertising worked. When I registered my first domain I didn't know where else to start and just haven't bothered to transfer to another provider.

Same here. Its really exciting to see something you are waiting for go into the kernel. Are you waiting for the lenovo legion and patches by chance?

I'm fairly new to the game, but I'm a solo developer. Currently I dont make enough to quit my day job, but it is a nice supplementary income, and it's nice to get paid a bit for so…

I found some supporting evidence from bulbapedia "Clefairy was originally going to be the official mascot of Pokémon, but Pikachu was used instead due to the popularity of the anim…

I seem to recall watching a video somewhere, perhaps on Didyouknowgaming, that Clefairy was intended to be the Pokémon mascot before Pikachu. I could be completely wrong here, but …

Wow what a coincidence! I got excited because I thought someone had posted my project which is also called Ddsp! Mine stands for D Digital Signal Processing since it is written in …

Yeah they added expiremental support for CLion in v1.17 but it still has a long way to go. https://github.com/intellij-dlanguage/intellij-dlanguage/blo... I would love to see CLion…

Same here. The Intellij plug-in for D is getting there but has a long way to go. I tried it in IDEA and made some contributions to it but it is still a bit away from being usable f…

Vscode is my preferred editor as well. I recently switched to Dlang from code-d. To me Dlang has felt more stable. I frequently switch back and forth across multiple OSs and comput…
