The last few years of BTC, ETH, and DeFi all collapse quickly if the USDT peg fails. How much crypto is borrowed on platforms like Compound against USDT? That collateral takes a 5%…

Pick a few features and make them the free tier. Upsell some premium content, or have a “first three goals are free” model, unlimited goals in the subscription. Anything but paying…

Elinks could render to SVGAlib well enough to browse sites that weren’t loaded with JS, no X11 needed

Also, read the prospectus of any ETF you already own, and you’ll get the gist of APs, enough to understand why your fees are so low.

This has got to be Taibbi click-baiting pro-Trump subscribers. He buries his admission that Trump's Biden/Burisma narrative is a lie so deep in the piece, you really have to trudge…

Firefox is down for the count with the recent layoffs. It’s Google’s web to lose in the near future. Some days it really feels like there is nothing new under the sun.

I rent a Shadow instance for $35 a month, and play my entire Steam library on a MacBook Air. New games, old games, whatever. It just works, given good broadband and an Ethernet cab…

He who holds the keys holds the coins.

Counterparty risk is through the roof. I tried moving some prediction market contracts on US Election Day, couldn’t trade anything due to traffic volume. This feels familiar. Decad…

Serious question, what was the complaint against xrange? I don’t recall it ever surprising me or behaving poorly.

> Now, if the story was that something was under congressional investigation, and Twitter had been told to preserve documents, but had refused to do so, this might be actually some…

GRPC is fantastic. You define a few data types to communicate about, and call procedures remotely with them. I mean it’s right there in the name! Unfortunately it doesn’t come with…

SOAP, WCF, CXF, et al, what’s old is new again. It’s strange to have been playing this game long enough to see a full cycle. Here be dragons.

Traditional media is chasing social media every day. This was the dream, it just took Trump to bring it into reality. A company that lives and dies by ad analytics couldn't have no…

From the same boat, I concur with everything in TFA. Funny detail to me, I've been at this exactly twice as long as the author. Ten years together for my partner and I, now two mar…

> "Or do you end up locked in for a few more years of handcuffs while waiting it out?" The golden cuffs _will_ click if you stick around any time at all and have even slightly bad …

And the world was so open, you could play as little or as much of a map as you wanted, given you cleared objectives. Rope arrows took you up buildings if you didn't want to crawl t…

Great questions. I worked on similar problems in the weather/ag space for a few years, trying to minimize the time between data was acquired and data is ready to inform a decision.…

Clicked link from IE11. Got this: > "Internet Explorer is not supported by Jupyter: For best results use Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or another modern browser." This makes me …

I've wondered about this too, your explanation works for me.

> Once you know window functions, you risk putting them all over the place Agreed. A few years of writing expressive, powerful, performant SQL in big blocks will really change your…

Sun tried the data center in a shipping container. I believe it was named Project Blackbox.

Interesting. But I'm a widget maker, not a specialist in any of those fanciful terms you threw around. I'd like to participate in the judges' world, but my widgets take all my time…

My second most popular tab in Firefox. Levine is a fantastic way to start the day.

I don't think you need to do any of this shady stuff to be a small loan marketplace for unaccredited participants. But the shady stuff kills your chances to feed the CLO pipeline a…
