Crypto is a little different as you have direct access to exchanges whereas in stocks typically you’re trading with a broker. This opens up a lot of opportunities for individual traders that traditionally are only available to institutions, such as strategies based on order book (market making, arbitrage etc)
I'm kinda surprised at how bad the OSs deal with this. If you can't get a DNS lookup, would it be so crazy to use the last-known cached value for it?
There's no reason for a computer to not be able to find a site I've been visiting every day for the last year. DNS data should be cached for at least 48 hours -- TTLs should be set to at least this.
My first website was hosted on a free angelfire.com account. Or was it geocities? Maybe both, but it certainly had a lot of blinking gifs and photoshop-sliced buttons with rollover affects.
My dad would use rollover images for his buttons. To get the responsiveness he needed, he preloaded all the images by displaying them 1x1 pixel at the bottom of the page.
I thought homepage was just whatever page you had your browser set to start up on. And then some of us built personal home pages that had all the links we cared about on them. And then one of us built Personal Home Pages.
