I did that (distracting subtitles) on one of my videos and it had a very negative response. I won't do it again, but I was puzzled because I find it much nicer than the traditional subtitle format personally. It's easier for my br

I think you're right. I produced a small rust program to test it by iterating over all 32-bit floats: https://gist.github.com/anchpop/30f119efd8d4c29a6a99202d57a5... Output: Count between 0 and 1: 1065353

Who lost? Everyone who got laid off wouldn't have had at a job at all if they weren't hired, and they probably got severance packages for more than the average American makes in a year.

In this case, the weakness was that the keys that controlled the bridge were somehow stored insecurely. When attackers gained access to the keys, they were able to steal from the bridge. In a properly-implemented rollup, there are no keys t

Right. It's possible to conceive of a rollup, particularly a zk-rollup, without anything like a master key. But current rollups do have those keys. ZK-sync for example has two, one used mostly used for upgrading the smart contract that

Right now they're immature, but I'm hopeful that advancements in ZK-tech will allow practical ZK-rollups. ZKSync already has a zk-evm testnet running (which I believe is based on zk-llvm), so we're close. Currently all the bi

what kind of volume does tornado.cash process? If it normally processes e.g. $1M/day, it'd take a while to use it as a mixer right?

I’m curious about handshake vs ens. The thing I like about ens is that it’s on ethereum which should make it harder to 51% than handshake (which is a relatively small PoW chain iirc). Of course with ethereum you need to pay gas fees which a

Thanks! I was accidentally pushing garbage to my IPNS name. It should be resolved now.

Yeah! That's why I'm excited for the effect system to land in OCaml. In general I think effect systems are more user friendly than monads and it makes the choice of how to handle the effects more explicit.

> big, untrue, statements saying the real web is "centralized" Well, it's not completely centralized, but it's more centralized than using IPFS for the backend and ENS for the namespace. I think that's hard to de

I'm a professional OCaml developer, so I definitely know and agree with you :p I still think Haskell is "more FP" than OCaml because it allows equational reasoning in more cases. I don't think it's a problem to desc

In theory you're right, but in this specific case they really are the same - the compiler has an optimization pass called "common subexpression elimination" that converts the second to the first in nearly all cases.

In areas where home prices are high, the vast majority of homes have people living in them. So the idea that home prices are inflated by people buying homes and not doing anything with them seems a bit suspect to me. Additionally it kind of

Pollings actually shows legislators are exactly in lockstep with voters. For instance, a strong majority of Americans say they would not pay an additional $10 per month in electricity to combat climate change. So legislators faithfully do n

Presumably your state chose to elect some of the senators who voted unanimously to pass the bill because the electorate trusted their judgement. Sometimes making the best judgement that means consulting with interest groups like airlines, w
