I see the same but only in browser / wasm. Also notice that the mobs dont move in browser mode. Local via lg in console works great though.

I can understand your frustration about Rich's development process. But clojure is most definitely not closed source. The source is right here: https://github.com/clojure/clojure and the license that allows you to

have you written your own 2/3 compatibility layer? I can't imagine writing anything large without six... fwiw, six can easily be vendored into a project to avoid the technical external dependency. that is how we manage it for kafk

Have you read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? You might enjoy it. A thoughtful book (semi-autobiographical) about a man searching for meaning, thinking-through-it-all while riding his motorcycle across the country with his son.

*Or she. But that's an interesting point re mining pools. Do you have any links to more information about how they drastically changed dynamics?

I guess I just have never found support for that in the nakamoto paper. You obviously have strong feelings about it, and I'm not trying to provoke an argument. I just still don't understand where in the paper there is any discussi

That seems inconsistent with the paper. For example, from the conclusion: [Nodes] vote with their CPU power, expressing their acceptance of valid blocks by working on extending them and rejecting invalid blocks by refusing to work on

This seems incorrect. Isn't a node a process on the network that is mining blocks? It does not seem as if a process that simply reads blocks but does not add any hashrate is participating in the network as I understand it.

No apology required. Though note that pykafka requires >=0.8.2 , and is only forwards compatible w/ newer brokers. This means that pykafka implements the 0.8.2 feature set. Newer brokers support that feature set, but you are not tak

I enjoyed your blog post, but I don't think this is a fair characterization: kafka-python is not "mostly 0.9+ focused..." kafka-python is the only driver that is both forward and backwards compatible w/ kafka 0.8 through

kafka-python maintainer here. Our library is designed to be correct first, easy to use second, and fast third. It should not be surprising to anyone that using C extensions improves python performance. I have avoided requiring C compilation

Labels deal in sound recordings, which have historically been licensed independently of the underlying music compositions. Most distributors like Spotify will obtain separate licensing for compositions, whether from collecting societies li

switched from statsd to statsite a few years ago and haven't looked back. highly recommend. same high quality code you'd expect from armon and the hashicorp crew (though statsite predates hashicorp, I believe).
