The backing of USDC held in real bank account. They need to move real USD to Circle bank to mint USDC.
flamemyst··on Binance freezes withdrawals of stablecoin USDC as investors pull $2B
All deposit of USDC automatically converted to BUSD.

Actually it makes thing easier for user because now USDC and BUSD always calculated as 1:1 with no swap fee. Crypto pair are more lean since they only need to pair with BUSD.

Options to withdraw USDC still available and will use BUSD balance.

flamemyst··on Binance freezes withdrawals of stablecoin USDC as investors pull $2B
You misses where Binance doing automatic conversion for any deposited USDC to BUSD. So every USDC deposit will counted as BUSD.

Withdrawal using BUSD and USDT is still available. Even USDC on some chain are still open. As I understand they just need time to replenish their USDC.

BUSD is released by Paxos.

Its competitive price wise - especially on mid class. Total ownership of cpu+mobo+ram often cheaper than AMD.

flamemyst··on Fossil: Rebase Considered Harmful
My team use merge in the past. And we found out in git, merge commit may contains it own changeset. Our code suddenly missing, and when we check on both history, commit look fine. Lo and behold, file deletion happen on merge commit. It bite us hard and I never trust merge commit again. Its very hard to read on complex feature merge.

My team now only use rebase, clean up commit using squash, and fix conflict before landing commit on master branch are kind of natural using rebase. Lead developer also have easier time to check file changes.

flamemyst··on What's new in PHP 8?
One that I can think of:

The way npm install always check latest package version and use them, even if package lock already exists. Which broke apps build many many times due to developer does not recognize this behavior. I know there are npm shrinkwrap and npm ci. Its just other package manager usually follow lockfile on install and have other command to upgrade the lockfile.

Also npm install download gazilion file for each dependencies. With deep directories.

In the past, there are problem because npm way of installing dependencies and hitting this infamous windows file path length limitation.

All are now already fixed or have alternative. But at that time, composer definitely much simpler and reliable.

Personal anecdote

I like to walk short distance with lids open to maintain wifi connection as I usualy keep remote connection to server. For longer walk distance, close the lid for easier walking.

flamemyst··on Inside Firefox’s DNS-over-HTTPS engine
That will not work. Some ISP do DNS transparent proxy (forward all udp packet 53 to their own DNS server). You need DNSCrypt or VPN.
flamemyst··on Microsoft and GitHub have held acquisition talks
Hey, thanks for mentioning skype lite. That a mile better than skype .
flamemyst··on Toshiba’s loss of star engineer tells tale of company's decline
Other factor also contributes to the demise of Sony phone division. Here in my country, Sony Z1 and Z2 boom as they are probably the first premium phone with nice camera and waterprof body. But bad aftermarket support and service destroy that advantages very quickly. Nowdays almost everyone avoid Sony smartphone. Either you choose phone with more support and service center such as Samsung or go to other way with Xiaomi (cheap with almost non existance official service & support).
flamemyst··on ​Docker has a business plan headache
redhat also have openshift for on premise enterprise kubernetes platform.
flamemyst··on Fedora 23 released
Have been bitten by docker upgrade from FC21 to FC22 and docker-fig upgrade on FC21 from fedora package. I have faced problem ranging from docker daemon refusing to start, failed to run container, and SELinux alarm ringing every now and then. Not the best developing experience.

Switched to Elementary(Ubuntu based distro) combined with docker repo now.

In my opinion, FC is more suited to lightweight work (email, word, spreadsheet).

flamemyst··on ElementaryOs Luna released
Elementary bring xubuntu alternative that beautiful but stay fast. Kudos for elementary dev team!
