I own the 'if' package on npm, which I wrote to be functions that can replace the if keyword, making no use of the if keyword in its definition.

This is fascinating - I have been quantitatively tracking TikTok trends and Indian songs consistently top the charts on TikTok by view counts. This will displace many Indian TikTok users and either a new platform will spring up, or Indians

Amazing, this is clearly a glimpse into a future of internet content being less like a document and more like a virtual world. Suggestion: the enter key should focus the chat box (like a FPS game) so you don't have to hit escape then c

Why would you force anyone? They are incentivized to buy a miner-heater because as long as it earns something, they are essentially just paying less for heating.

They can, the idea is that they can mine more efficiently by storing the scrambled version rather than storing it unscrambled and re-scrambling when they need to generate a mining proof.

Very cool, I really like this idea of Nomic-style open-source code governance. I previously built a similar project: https://github.com/botwillacceptanything/botwillacceptanythi...

Unfortunately, SGX is not open for public use yet. You currently need special permission from Intel to access it.

You could use hashpipe ( https://github.com/jbenet/hashpipe ), from Juan Benet (the author of IPFS). It simply checks that the input to the command matches a given hash, so you can do `curl <url> | hashpipe <has

Same as IPFS, which should probably be in the "Decentralized Web" category.

From the bottom of the watt README: co is similar to watt, but the main difference is that it only works with Promises. It requires that you convert callback functions to return Promises before you can call them, and it does not let you wra

I wrote a module that provides something similar to this using ES6 generators (which are already widely supported), but also supports callbacks in addition to promises. This way, you can make calls to existing APIs without having to wrap th

EDIT 2: Debunked! The signature in Wright's post is just pulled straight from a transaction on the blockchain. Convert the base64 signature from his post (MEUCIQDBKn1Uly8m0UyzETObUSL4wYdBfd4ejvtoQfVcNCIK4AIgZmMsXNQWHvo6KDd2Tu6euEl13VTC

It's actually possible to do this without even requiring a 3rd party for escrow. Two parties can perform a "cross-chain atomic swap", where special transactions are created that move both of the funds on both chains at once,

Also, I find it strange they felt so strongly about the whole thing that they created an account just to comment.

Definitely a very useful Chrome extension. I discover a lot of Github repos through my Github frontpage feed, and this will make reading the descriptions much quicker.

This guide has the Reprap "Prusa Steel" printer listed, and says it is $500, with a 9.1 rating. However, I strongly recommend the acrylic version made by many Chinese electronics companies which sell for $220 for the same print qu

The IPFS API isn't exposed like that, there is actually a whitelist for hashes that can access the API (the IPFS webui is in the whitelist by default), and hashes that are blocked will get a 403.

+1 for the rad1o/hackrf. Most of the other SDRs people are recommending here are only receivers, so they can't transmit. When I was at CCC camp I made node.js bindings for the hackrf, so it's pretty easy to work with: https:

Cool project! The latency is a little high for a lot of games (not sure WC3 is the best choice with high latency), but it seemed smooth and responsive. After a while, I got stuck on the desktop instead of in the game (that's kind of a
