And Argentina.

Yes, but not really.

Satoshi compared Bitcoin to Visa in 2009.

>The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost. It never really hits a scale ceiling. If you're interested, I can go over the ways it would cope with extreme size.

There are other cryptocurrencies than BTC, like Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Dash, which work well for any transaction, big or small, with low fees and fast confirmations.

BTC is an intentionally crippled fork of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash works as Bitcoin was always meant to, with low fees and fast confirmations.

I'm Scandinavian too. I don't assume that.

>Today almost no one accepts it as payment. Exactly because it is unstable.

Or because transactions became too expensive.

Who's running a full node on their phone?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot.

That's one of the things I already tried.

I have an old Dell U2713HM, but text looks terrible on it when connected to my MBP. It looks fine with other computers running Windows or Linux, but not with the MBP for whatever reason. I already tried all the configuration changes suggested in various places around the Internet, but it doesn't make any difference. Is it possible it could be because I'm using a DisplayPort to USB-C adapter?

I'm looking at buying a new monitor to get past the problems with my old one. The ViewSonic VP2771, but I can't find it in stock anywhere close to me. Does anyone have a suggestion a similar product? 1440p, 27", USB-C, specifically for use with a MBP.

>A language with a good type system (ex. Haskell, OCaml, Rust etc.) makes it hard to write bad code,

Maybe they wouldn't be writing any code if they had to write it in a languages like that.

Jimmy Bogard's talk "Six Little Lines of Fail"[0] is an interesting case study of all the ways things get so much more complicated when you can't just roll back a transaction if something goes wrong.

Android Studio is a Google product built on top of IntelliJ.

You can write such a license if you want (or hire a lawyer to write it), but it's not FOSS and it never will be. Why is it important to you that such a license is recognized as FOSS?

At least for JavaScript, it seems like it still doesn't support Inline Variable. I can Extract Variable, but not Inline. Of course, that's a different matter than whether it's supported for Java. Last time I tried using the Java extensions for a non-trivial Spring Boot project, it was intolerably slow. I managed to convince a coworker to switch to IntelliJ after he saw the difference between my setup with IntelliJ and his with VS Code.

>I think the author doesn't know what VSCode can deliver.

Can it Inline Variables yet?

This 2019 blog post from a Debian developer describes some of the problems they are facing from a developer perspective: "Winding down my Debian involvement" https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-03-10-debian-windin...

There's a book on TDD with an extended case study about developing a Swing application: http://www.growing-object-oriented-software.com/

It's all in this book: http://www.growing-object-oriented-software.com/

You won't necessarily be able to know if there was a false positive. Google might reject it or, worse, accept the message and not deliver it to you.

Refactoring is different from rewriting.

Try out a US* QWERTY keyboard for a few months. I grew up with non-English keyboards, but then some years ago I got stuck with a US keyboard for half a year, and after that I didn't want to go back. I can easily type the few non-English characters I need with the X.org compose key, so I can easily write in my native language. I assume it would work equally well for any language using a Latin-script alphabet.

*) US, not UK. UK QWERTY is trash.

It would be unreasonable to assume that they aren't. It's a cheap, easy, and low-risk way to soak up lots of interesting traffic.

So it didn't quite arrive yet.

I don't mind it. It doesn't detract from the on-topic discussion, certainly not as much as terrible websites detract from user experience.

Authors pay heed: Presentation matters. If you present your writing poorly, it will distract your readers from your ideas.
