News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I meant cryptocurrency of course and have updated the comment.

Also it's a legit question rather than a statement. I haven't ever seen what blockchain is truly good for, but perhaps I've missed something.

Has cryptocurrency actually ever provided any actual, legal value for anyone other than as a speculative trading platform (i.e. glorified lottery)?
Re:John Carmack on Inlined Code (2014) on Wednesday December 02, 2020 @04:26AM (#25274790)
I read this article a few years ago when I was in a "CARMACK IS AN ALL KNOWING GOD" phase. So I started using these concepts at work, for business stuff. It ended up becoming an absolute unreadable, illogical mess that only I could possibly understand. Proceed with caution and don't blindly assume that this is the best approach for all situations like I did just because Carmack did it in the Quake engine.
