It’s actually easy and straight forward to become an avogadrillionaire, on paper that is, but still an avogadrillionaire: issue a token with a supply of 6.02*10^23, sell one token …

I think it’s rather because of scarcity: you can’t scale and automate land/prime-location land

I have this personal theory that some time after an external stress-related impulse (be that negative - ww2, cold war, becoming paralyzed, etc, or positive - inheriting money, winn…

The blockchain hosting companies like infura live by offering API access to ethereum, solana, binance smart chain, etc. I’d say they are now rather hosting companies because these …

Am I the only one thinking that going back full circle to server side rendering, but to a way more convoluted way of having it, is actually a regression rather than evolution techn…

I used to be a hard core stackoverflow contributor back in the day. At one point, while trying to have my answers more appreciated (upvoted and accepted) I became basically a sycho…

I had this idea for a few years already and now I also managed to implement a proof of concept for it: instead of relying on cookies or tokens to identify a user, have a service wo…

Chess puzzles work quite accurately IME to assess my mental capabilities for the day. Especially the puzzle storm on lichess. There are enough puzzles there to not repeat themselve…

A bit unrelated, but try having l theanine after a night of drinking: it makes you wake up fresh and without a hangover because it speeds up alcohol processing and it metabolites b…

But once that bubble (and any other one) burst, it never reached new highs again. The bitcoin bubble burst multiple times and got back higher and higher

TL;DR: the Tornado Cash developer, Alexey Pertsev, was convicted by the Dutch authorities to +5 years in prison for money laundering for developing Tornado Cash (not for actually l…

I read some time ago on twitter something along the lines of “if you run enough A/B tests, you’ll end up with a porn website” and I guess that’s what the future of high-engagement-…

I think this could be implemented without listening: I am physically meeting with my friend X who is researching online for his new acquisition (or he already got it). The more obs…

The tech lead I was working with a few years ago was absolutely certain vanilla js is a framework. To the point he dismissed some candidate for not knowing about it. I guess he was…

After working for the past ~3 years with a microservice oriented architecture, I can only imagine the horrors of having to work on a project built with lambdas. We're a team of onl…

I loved the article. I worked in sales for ~2 years before starting my career as a software engineer +15 years ago, so knowing how downputting rejections are, I try to treat all th…

Watch out that electricity costs went up significantly in Europe in the past months. I am a happy hetzner customer since 2012 I think. Their server monthly costs were just a bit hi…

I think it was 4MB. I think there weren't too many 4GB HDDs back then

One (LTD or PFA) only has to pay VAT if they invoice Romanian companies. Otherwise, based on what's called "taxare inversă" (reverse taxing), the invoices won't contain VAT, so it …

At an avg speed of 34.9 mph, or 54.2 km/h. Impressive!

And sending a tx with a fee bigger than $23m wouldn't actually fixed their problem
