    > three to seven transactions per second, but with a centralized trusted entity The byzantine generals problem doesn't apply when you have trusted entities.

    Depending on your age and how much you can deduct, the switch over can come as "low" as 90k. At 100k you should always be ahead in any case. And that's without counting the social …

    Taxes at that income level are around 50%, including ~20k worth of social security contributions. You're probably mixing up VAT, advance payments and final balance payments to get …

    Fourth option: don't introduce this change at all. It's a debatable stylistic improvement in exchange for a big breaking change that will force your users to go through, update and…

    How do you guarantee it doesn't copy a GPL-ed function line-by-line?

    Maybe if it comes with clauses for a substantial transfer of technology to EU partners. But I doubt Intel would agree to that.

    Same. The only issue I had with virtualenv was when I copied one to a different directory and it didn't work. It turns out you can't do that. Everything else has always worked fine…

    Sanofi will be producing the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine, but it takes a lot of time to set up a new production line. Last estimate I saw was saying July.

    This is very true. Just importing Django + Django Rest Framework + some other minor libraries in Google App Engine (standard) leads to painfully slow response times when a new inst…

    Having implemented a threaded Forth with WASM, the most annoying problem is that WASM doesn't support jumps to arbitrary memory locations. You can either call functions (and you do…

    The premium is actually higher than that. For $100, the developer gets $70. Which means the premium is $30 on a $70 base price, i.e. a ~42% higher price. That's a very steep price …

    You can have a nicely organized JS project without using a framework, albeit you can expect a bit more boilerplate. There are many approaches you can take. The following is an MVC …
