imho software engineers are the most susceptible to the hyperactivity that often leads to these types of maladies - which ultimately flips from “working 100 miles an hour” to “only able to work 2 hours a day”, aka burnout Byungchul Han is w

Where is .cloneDeep? That alone is mainly what I use lodash for. Even though JS is pass by value, if you pass an object, the other nested objects will still be references to its predecessor.

Centralized exchanges do absolutely. No guarantees on deposits beyond a consumer Terms and Conditions check box. Decentralized exchanges with proofs of reserves on chain less so, e.g. MakerDAO's over-collateralized stablecoin called DA

Closing line with the usual FUD around decentralization as a scary thing - even though it was centralization and privileged actors at the center of that centralization that has caused every major CEX collapse. If we think an occasional CEX

most of the problems blockchain attempts to solve are public coordination problems in adversarial environments rather than corporate problems the CTOs/CIOs are likely to have.

People in crypto invent new words rather than building new things all too often. I think it's a carryover practice that emerged from the whitepaper era of 2017-2018, when you had to have a massive pseudo-intellectual theoretical framew

If they had access to the private keys they wouldn't have to go through the crypto.com platform at all. They'd just pop it in any wallet and sign withdrawal transactions. There's no 2FA or whitelisted withdrawal addresses (fo

You're right - I'm using "Fauci" as a synecdoche for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAID). Dr. Fauci was the director of NAID at the time of the approved 3.7M funding for EcoHealth Alliance&#x

TL;DR Maybe regulation of massive mining cartels can have positive externalities by making distributed mining pools more profitable

That's exactly it - hashpower consolidation does result from economies of scale. At least looking at ASIC-resistant mining algos... it would be a hopeful future if we could get protocol-level compute and storage sharing to distributed

Perhaps I'm missing something but even as a crypto-hopeful this doesn't disturb me too much. Bitcoin et al. is better off without mining becoming consolidated into giant conglomerates. The vision is for mining to be distributed am

It's perhaps anathema to say "Get business involved to keep you on track!" on an engineering news aggregator/forum, but it works for some people! I've actually found the demo deadlines to be an amazing "razor&q

Build a product that you yourself want to use. Then, find a semi-technical "business accountability person" (could be a CEO) that has a vested interest in keeping you on track. Sure it's a balance of "keeping it loosey g
