Why all the empty space in the case?

Some people have enough money and don't need more. It is hard to say what is the case.

How much does this cost to use yourself as it is on a blockchain?

I only use Signal over SMS because Signal is encrypted and has groupchats. Those are the only features I would need in an SMS replacement.

Ask HN: Would you support government open source grants?
I was reading about 'faker' and 'colours' and thought solo authors of widely used libraries are decoupled from the influence of their libraries. Could common open source dependenci…

A problem with these questions is that a lot of them people can answer without knowing ML/DL, admittedly cherry picked but still. For example what is the definition of two events b…

There are a lot of security benefits to using a TPM. I wouldn't mind if I could use an open source one in Linux. They ameliorate a lot of low entropy problems for passwords and can…

It is used in financial tech sometimes. Although this is misleading as financial tech has a penchant for weird functional shit like OCaml, F#, K, Julia, etc... Unlike a video game,…

I find the 85% figure in the article rather shocking. Is this because US people have a lot of disposable income? Just iPhones are pricy even secondhand. Of course Android doesn't u…

Wow that's incredible and really changes my opinion on Julia's indexing. It is small but really makes things more elegant. I should definitely try Julia. I've spent a lot of time c…

I don't think you are obligated to live your life or even enjoy it. It is a very nice bonus if you enjoy your life and feel that you are living your life. There isn't a duty to mak…

So long as Signal is not less secure and this does not affect battery life I don't mind. It does feel pointless though.

I think the default should be named prefix operators. Then you can have infix operators that are aliases. This is a problem in Haskell with infix operators being directly defined I…

I don't think 1 based indexing is that useful. A lot of mathematics formulae start from 0 too and 1-indexing makes that more awkward. Although I agree that some languages like Juli…
