A Turing Award for avoiding a context switch? I mean, I love eBPF more than most, but this is a practical engineering solution to a logistical problem that didn't really need to ex…

Comment #39668183
That's a cool conjecture but it kind of misses the point of eBPF. The point of it is that you can run user-defined programs while avoiding the costly context switch between user sp…

Comment #39668115
eBPF allows user-defined programs to run in the kernel. This is huge for performance-sensitive code that executes against network packets: you don't have to context switch between …

Standard Stripe fees on $250k revenue: - 2.9% + 30¢ per charge - Assume net-30 invoices - Total fees: 2.9% * $250k + 30¢ * 12 = $7,253.60 - Stripe can freeze your money arbitrarily…

Okay. I have personally saved tens of thousands of dollars and hours of headache by just doing my business on chain. How valuable is 2.9% of $1m+ to you?

All of the facts contradict you. Two years ago I had to fend off contracts that paid in USDC. It's easier to find someone to pay in USDC today than it was then. Market share and vo…

Stripe takes a hefty cut. Use USDC. Costs a fraction of a penny and settles in less than a second.

Nothing. Send USDC to Circle, Coinbase, or any centralized exchange for a fraction of a penny. Swap to USD for free. ACH transfer to bank for free.
