So, when you say to them, 'You could save some money and don't have to buy everything with the money you have,' their response, which is correct,

<< I go with the third
BingoBoingo: "All three cases are bad news. Bitcoin Core does not restart itself automatically. If a node dies or freezes up it requires the owner to notice restart it manually, each and every time."
<< Why should bitcoind care to restart itself? That's what python is for.
mircea_popescu:
<Pierre_Rochard> does wordpress have that feature?
<< yes. if i change an url both the old and the new work, and the old redirects to the new

mircea_popescu: anyway, the exercise is interesting because it puts a ceiling on costs. doing a mathematically intricate, non-parallelizable task over ~the entire space of gpg keys~, all 4mn of them, is
< 10k usd.
BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo for the record, "and found 60 with one or more duplicate moduli." is maybe misleading. it merely found the same key in multiple places, it hasn't actually cracked anything.

mircea_popescu: " It should be at least possible for users to start learning the basics of Python without having to first learn English as a prerequisite (even if English remains a requirement for full participation in the global Python and open source ecosystems)."
<< this is pretty retarded.
ben_vulpes: "we had the file ent'd every 100kb"
<< which is to say you split the file on 100kb line and ent'd each?
mircea_popescu: further in defense of the nuts : "Nick Coghlan’s document should really be a required citation for any article advancing a new course for Python, because nobody is going to take you seriously if you don’t address"

"However one argument that definitely does not work is “you should work on Python 2 because that would make my life as a commercial software developer easier”. The fact that Python 2 and commercial software developers had a symbiotic relationship at all was a happy coincidence, never a goal. The goal was “produce a language that Guido
