Re:Microsoft Is Said to Have Agreed to Acquire GitHub on Sunday June 03, 2018 @05:00PM (#17221980)

Funnily enough a friend of mine and I migrated some of our projects over to GitLab right before this original story broke. It’s really unfortunate though that this will probably go through since GitHub was/is really the staple site for social programming and project management, something that GitLab is certainly lacking.

Im on the fence whether I should fully implement a blockchain myself, or if I should fork one to see how it works on a production level. If I go this route, what would be a simple blockchain project to fork? Any language

It's not necessarily tech-related, but State of Play[0]. It's a documentary about Korean StarCraft players/teams and what it was like to be in the scene right after the peak of its popularity. It's easily one of my favorites.

I’ve taken a look at Clojure and Haskell and I’m really liking them. How to F# and Erlang compare in terms of use case?

I’m trying to understand blockchains more but I’m having trouble grasping how new nodes can “pop up” and be integrated into the system without a centralized server

While I’m not sure there’s a way to do it in one shot, Stripe, PayPal, and WP plug-ins like WooCommerce will cover credit cards, etc. For crypto, Coinpayments is the one I’ve personally looked into
