outside of trivial transfer transactions there are much more complicated things you can do with smart contracts such as decentralized lending and decentralized exchange of assets these are more like arbitrary atomic changes to on chain stat

these are transactions with extremely high value and often extremely urgent and not possible to merge together - e.g. the both liquidate the same unhealthy loan position (could be worth ~$10m+) the whole point is it's not remotely easy

Settle positions between two mutually non cooperating parties. Your github solution doesn't consider that many non cooperating parties may want to do conflicting things on chain and you need a trustless way to resolve those conflicts.

Nobody clicks the space bar 8 times, they use the tab key and have their editor insert the correct number of space characters instead.

The time-value still comes into play in the form of eth transaction fee. If you're flash loaning to take advantage of an open arbitrage opportunity there will be other parties trying to take advantage of it, so you will pay more to ge

Personally, I've developed a strong preference for putting this type of information as close to the affected code as possible. Immediately next to the affected code is the only place these types of comments have a prayer of being kept

People who bother to complain are those who actually care about your thing. People who do not care simply leave without ever telling you why. Your complainers are often your most dedicated and invested users.

Thunk is not a proper solution to the problem - it's a totally open escape hatch! You lose ALL the nice guarantees and behavior of redux when "action" no longer means "immutable, serializable event" and starts meani

It wasn't my example, but it's just disproving the notion that FP somehow means you need to write big if statements to dispatch your functions. Traits are not functional-language specific except in that they are often used in FP t

One of the many difference is that there is no inheritance, and implementations of traits can be added for types long after they are defined. Traits in rust are not like java interfaces.

Also see `webpack` as a successful example of code-as-configuration in the wild.

This approach necessitates an ever growing number of increasingly specific APIs, or an ever growing set of flags and options which will inevitably approximate a poorly implemented version of GraphQL.

Hey, that’s my library! I’m glad to see a similar macro getting added upstream, so you no longer need to install libraries like this one for easy print debugging.

Not signing in and curating your subreddit subscriptions all but guarantees you will only be exposed to the most populist content on the site and will never see any of the deep, niche, and interesting stuff on it.

Trucks often drive mostly or only on major thoroughfares and often on extremely long and tedious routes. A self driving truck that could drive 50 hour stretches without getting tired or making mistakes would be a huge improvement in efficie

In your analysis you shouldn’t forget that advertisers don’t consider all eyeballs equal either, and are willing to pay far more for ads shown to high income users. The difference in effect might not be as large as you’re making it out to b

It's not like you can just skip writing those checks even if the browser indicator was more visible, people will still spam click and you still need to handle it correctly.

For javascript you can use typescript, which brings the joy of a modern type system to es6 and allows you to migrate file by file.

Try joining smaller communities. Being in a server with 10-20 regulars is very different from being in one with 200, forget 2000.

If you simply follow the basic compassionate principle that you should lock up as few people as necessary for as short a time as necessary to maintain the law then the answers are obvious for both cases: If someone committed an act which wa

I believe it is morally wrong to keep people imprisoned for actions that are now legal, especially given the viciousness of our penal system. This is a great injustice of our time.

Who in the world thought this was a good idea!? I can hardly think of a less secure way to ask security questions. You should name and shame; there’s a minimum bar everyone should uphold and this is far below it.
