Every time you hear about cryptocurrencies that allow fee-less, immediate, eco-friendly transactions, it's worth to wonder why dominant cryptocurrencies still suffer from those iss…

You're referring to the Terms of the website, not "Ethereum 2.0". It's like agreeing to the Terms of Use of a Bitcoin wallet. It doesn't mean that Bitcoin is a "centralized joke".

It's not my field, but I remember reading that your example doesn't represent entanglement because when put into envelopes, one marble is already red and another blue. In quantum e…

This reminds me the bet in the bitcoin community [1]. If on average bitcoin blocks are produced every 10 minutes, and you learn that 5 minutes ago someone found a block, what is th…

This is because running code on Ethereum VM and storing data is hugely expensive (rightly so, as it's being done on all nodes in the world). Therefore Solidity will try to compile …

I think that many people miss the most important thing here: it is not important if a currency hard-forks or not - what is important is that it can . I have no confidence that Bitc…

This is a very one-sided discussion which makes it seem like it was written by a person who wants Monero's value to rise. It doesn't mention any drawbacks of Monero - like poor sca…

Please check aiopg [1]. There's also an interesting list of packages for asyncio [2]. [1] https://aiopg.readthedocs.org/en/stable/ [2] http://asyncio.org/

Yes, it is a single process application. But to utilize all cores I use Gunicorn to spawn multiple processes. http://aiohttp.readthedocs.org/en/stable/gunicorn.html

Unfortunately the code is not open source - I'll try to open parts of it in the future. But please do check this simple gist I found some time ago that helped me understand how pow…

We see people hyping all the time for NodeJS mainly because it can handle millions of concurrently open connections. Now we get a much cleaner (IMHO) way to achieve the same thing …

I've been using the new async/await syntax to write beautiful asynchronous websockets server and I fell in love with it. It handles hundreds of thousands of concurrent connections …

It's not only a distraction but outright dangerous. People got used to accept every banner with word "cookie" in it. There were cases in Poland where scammers would add "and I subs…

I thought so too, but saying "two most popular" actually makes it perfectly clear which one he refers to later.

"available for the two most popular operating systems and some lame one nobody outside of it’s devoted cult following actually likes." Really? Lame one? Devoted cult?

What you are writing is exactly why I threw game theory into the mix. Game theory show strategies that given a certain set of rules are beneficial for the player or all players (fo…

The article doesn't provide anything to back the claim that moral opinions may be universally, non-subjectively true. The cartoonist example is deeply flawed. We're outraged becaus…

I still struggle to understand why we need to have a real address of domain's owner publicly assigned to WHOIS data. The registrar knows the owner so it is available to law enforce…

Using VPN will not change Russian laws, but GitHub not complying with the request might help Russian tech sector realize how dangerous and ridiculous the law is and trigger more pr…

Since they're not sure if they found a security related error or not, I would rather make a disclosure to Bitcoin dev team fist before going public with it.

Please see my comment above. For all practical purposes, GHash pool owner controls the whole hashing power - he becomes the owner of each mined block and can do whatever he want's …

I don't think you're right. The mining machines are pointed towards Ghash pool owner and he becomes the owner of the mined block - that's how he can distribute the BTC to everyone …
