How did that turn out in the end? I presume having a real number is long-term optimal in terms of keeping customers compared to showing a fake number.

Ha, I also wrote a post on value once. https://azatris.github.io/true-value

A bit weird and philosophical, rather than useful.

This is exactly what I wanted to hear! Awesome, thank you!

I do not know much about quantum computing. But could you explain what makes these computers quantum? Is it the configuration of these transistors to invoke some quantum phenomena?

We use it on servicing the backend of an e-commerce website. The code is now 2 decades old and wonderfully refactorable to modern code.

Gold is a decentralized store of value too, to be fair.

Yes, a decentralized international payment protocol is a good answer, but it also has a currency itself embedded in it. A type of currency to make this protocol work.

The whole thing saves a lot of manpower and energy in the world, so in that regard it potentially holds a lot of value.

However, if you told me to open up Excel and calculate the approximate true value of 1 BTC, I am unable to do so.

I can imagine scenarios where for someone with very specific needs of anonymity it solves problems, but I cannot imagine any direct problems it solves for me.

I guess it is wise to sell when the market is greedy and buy when it is fearful, as long as you have the foundations in check.

I am more of a holder usually as well, unless I truly believe the price is so overvalued that it would take a lot of time before another full dip-rally cycle.

Where's the "call a friend" button in VLC?

How would that work? Which application supports it? I don't know of a native way to do this.

But given that you have a 4K RED setup in your bedroom with a studio microphone, what technology actually preserves most of the quality over the video call? Let's say both participants have fibre connections and located in the same city.

That's impressive. Do you think it will get better mentally at one point?

I guess what drives it all is that the work is meaningful, am I correct?

I would call routine coding something like you have a set of constraints and you just have to manipulate code to fit these constraints.

Exactly. :)

You can easily do routine work for 8+ hours daily. The sort of work that can potentially be automated one day. What you call "coding" is routine enough in my book.

But if you're doing something novel and solving hard problems, I think 4-5 hours would be a maximum for sure.
