Work on problems constrained by software

Will generative AI re-emphasise the value of software over content? — An important concept in chemistry is that of a limiting reagent.

Decentralisation, crypto, and you

Why reducing decentralisation could reduce risks in DeFi and Web3, and widen their appeal beyond early adopters. — There’s an inherent trade-off between decentralisation and the ability to coordinate things: the fewer participants, the easier it is to agree on anything. …

Here’s why Go uses returned errors over exceptions — How should a programming language treat errors? For example, a function that opens a file with a given name and reads it to a buffer could fail for many reasons: the file might not exist, the opening program might lack permissions to open it, or it could be too large…
