and if bitcoin wasn't wasting all that energy, we could be powering actually useful stuff with that renewable energy. It's not ok that energy is being wasted. It coming from renewable sources does not make wasting it on useless hash calculations is good. That energy could be used elsewhere, for useful work.

because of the cut and paste problem. It works in json.

the problem that bitcoin "solves" is mathematically unsolvable. The only reason it kind of works is because participants are human, and therefore are able to assign arbitrary value to the currency, and therefore can act greedily to try to maximize (and protect) their coins. Participants are only incentivized to participate in mining because the thing they're rewarded with is a "currency" (something they value, as humans).

For anything but a currency, what is the incentive of miners using their resources to handle your transactions?

there's the small issue of proof of stake being subjective...

write json with comments. Use a yaml parser.

you have to stay 9 feet away as the shockwave expands. That's the trick

and that's still too verbose. it should be (num % 2) != 0

have you used android? As a dev, I mean

asm("nop");

that's the death of consoles then

man i'd like some of that stuff you're smoking

your comment started with "i agree". It could not have been the point

that's.... the exact opposite of what i said

a browser that won't cripple your machine. It used to be the opposite case, but the tables have turned.

Also, you can also use firefox on android and have all extensions (adblockers etc) available on your phone too!

quit fucking saying that! I still get random flickering on the desktop and flickering in games on a 1080. X11 is the only thing that lets me actually play games onmhe thing

they go vroom vroom!!!!

in maltese (the one at the bottom center) it's just "sorm".

"Toqba tas-sorm" means "asshole"

A pony is not a small horse.

edit: I was wrong

lots of stuff that "windows can do" is due to 3rd party software too.

lots and lots more IPC. So lots and lots of context switches. So worse performance
