Re:Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power on Friday February 09, 2024 @11:49AM (#39316913)
Ethereum switched to proof of stake a while ago. So yes. Hardcore crypto fans don't like it because theoretically it could be subject to the 51% attack. Personally, Ethereum is big enough where

A) I don't think that attack is likely and B) the efficiency gains are worth the risk

Disclaimer: I have Ethereum so i benefit from other people buying it. I do honestly think it's better for the environment.

This theory is very interesting, although the author presents it with too much confidence for such big claims.

Wh....why?
I've never had that bug, although I'm on chrome.
Re:More malicious extensions in Chrome Web Store on Thursday June 01, 2023 @11:29AM (#36152544)
Chrome really needs to introduce a extension denylist. The effect of malicious extensions would be less if you could exclude banking and other sensitive websites.

The current Allowlist is not sufficient because some extensions need to work across most sites.

There's a lot of systems that are simpler, easier, and in my personal opinion, more fun than d&d. For example, FATE. The star wars RPG is pretty good too. Tabletop games can also vary a lot in quality depending on the group and the GM.
Less fuel is better for the environment. That should be counterbalanced with safety, which they did - even with a bug and a heavy plane the plane still took off safely.

This means they are also leaving a safety margin of fuel, even though that costs extra money.

AREPL uses a debug first paradigm. It's not step by step, but it does give you access to your variables as you code.

It's free and open source. Let me know what you think: https://github.com/Almenon/AREPL-vscode

Only ~13% of CS grads are women last time I checked. So yes, the filtering is happening, and it's before the candidate even looks at the job advertisement.
Studying history is extremely important for doing your civic duty as a citizen and voting.
I have the opposite feeling - to me it looks nice and better than Dynatrace or elastic.

Does this have autocomplete in the terminal?

Nitpick: niche, sure, but the deck isn't very niche. The mobile gaming market is a established market open to all sorts of gamers.

I agree with you on VR though, that's very nice atm.

Dalle mini is not the same dalle and it's far worse.

Can you expand on why splitting up the class would help? I didn't quite get that part.

I can attest this is a cool company. It's not just kool-aid, the management does care about their employees.
Yeah, that's the standard way to write comments. It looks terrible but it's not bad to write because Visual Studio auto-generates the comment skeleton for you.
