There's about to be a lot of skinny people in Canada bordering states. :)

Article says Postgres launched in 1986. Wikipedia says 1996.

Devilmouse! AC is one of my favorite games of all time (neck and neck with Ultima II (I'm old)). I still play on the emulators from time to time - endlessly searching for more Hoar…

I sometimes peruse the Daily/Weekly/Monthly trending report on Github: https://github.com/trending?since=daily

I'm not sure if the ghost of Netscape Composer is laughing or crying.

I really appreciate you writing this guide. As a long time Linux user, I've always wanted to learn AWK, but it seemed too daunting. Three minutes into your guide and I immediately …

Word up.

It could be someone that likes to use specific numbers as a "calling card" of sorts.

A noble attempt, but without supporting Monero you're not supporting fungibility and privacy. I hope this is an oversight that you'll correct.

It is much safer for me to buy things on the Internet with cryptocurrencies than credit cards. It seems like every few months there's a huge leak of customers and credit card infor…

I think Keybase is making a mistake in choosing Zcash over Monero - especially so soon after Zcash's launch. But that's okay - they'll come around soon enough. Zcash has been fanta…

ZCash requires a trusted setup, takes a 20% fee from miners, and active mixing requires 8GB of RAM. https://blog.okturtles.com/2016/03/the-zcash-catch/ http://weuse.cash/2016/06/09…

True, but Fastmail has addressed this. I'm not sure that their argument completely holds up, but here's what they have to say about it: https://blog.fastmail.com/2013/10/07/fastmai…

From the Medium blog: > The cypherpunk, anarchist future wasn’t supposed to be about stronger banking guarantees and wealth redistribution among Reddit users. I think your interest…

There are plenty of early adopters who purchased Monero for several dollars each. And it languished at 30-50 cents for well over a year. And is now only ~$1. So there's been plenty…

So how do you advocate for a cryptocurrency that you truly believe in without being called a shill...or a pumper? Monero/CryptoNote based coins offer better privacy than any other …

I'm not sure that anyone can speak to what happens to crypto in a post quantum world. Mixing does not happen on a server - that would be an atrocious violation of privacy. Monero (…

This technology already exists today in the form of the Cryptonote based coins - of which Monero is the leading example. Cryptonote, by default, is an opaque blockchain - your tran…

Jello will always be a hero to me for what he did during all the PMRC stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKRGX1a-JBE

Again, existing technologies already provide this. And they further empower the user to expressly define how much anonymity they want...down to the transactional level. Empowering …

No thank you. With regards to my government, I would like to see more privacy rather than less. This seems to give me less. I do like the idea of complete transactional privacy bet…

Agreed. Which is why some of the newer cryptocurrencies like Monero are gaining some attention.

Graphite compliments the ELK stack and does not replace it. Logstash is great at extracting metrics/numbers/data out of your logs. You can then use the graphite/statsd output plugi…

My daughter also took to Barbie's and princesses. We weren't happy with it at first, but we decided to accept it and encourage diversity in playtime. So we introduced Lego's, nerf …
