I'd add the MIT 6.002 Circuits and Electronics course available on Youtube. It's been immensely helpful for me starting experiments with Raspberry PI GPIO.

Visual Studio Community or even VSCode with Omnisharp is a very solid choice. You can easily write C# code of any complexity without any extra bells and whistles of Rider because the language itself is that good.

Of course it does [0]. It's just it assigns writes as evenly as possible (to have as even wear as possible), so log-like internal "file system" is a way to go. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

Except that's not how it works. This adoption has a massive impact on acceptance of Bitcoin. If we assume Bitcoin is a mistake for humanity - this clearly is a great wrongdoing. A smaller wrongdoing would be buying Bitcoin, holding Bit

Most criminals don't kill people. Does that mean we should ignore killers?

You must be joking? There is a trivial way to hide the traces by using mixers. Why do you think ransomware and black markets today exclusively run crypto not fiat?

This argument is deeply flawed for an obvious reason. E.g. why do you vote if your vote is only one of a hundred million?

That's my impression with Rust for now - you use indexes instead and borrow as needed. Long lived borrows are a no go, I was shocked to figure out you cannot return a new thing and a reference to it from a function.

I wanted to drop strings which are not used anymore, you do need Rc for that (no way around it I think), but my problem was that I also needed that strings as a key to HashMap<String, Weak<String>>. So I use that HashMap to chec

I come from C# and Rust absolutely drives me bonkers. I try to reference all the things all the time, cause its ingrained in my brain as more efficient than copying stuff around or/and requesting things from hashmaps. The first thing I

Why do you need a blockchain at all then? This is what I really don't get. If you have your "majority" available at all times they just agree on account balances and call it a day. Just like WebMoney did circa 1998.

This is blatantly false. Bitcoin doesn't require anything at all besides the idea of a most work chain humanity produced. You just pick it and that's it. You cant pick wrong, there is no chain bigger. All other cryptos are a fanta

You pass a state and return a new, modified state. You can, however, "pass" many other things in functional programming - see monads (also called computation expressions). I recommend fsharpforfunandprofit website for gentle intro

Well I too could imagine some sorts of shenanigans that will mislead the majority of validators especially in PoS that doesn't lock any of validators computation resources. It's even worse in the sense that a validator can be anon

How it's better than WebMoney then? About other cryptos - well, yeah, there can be only one. If you don't control 51% of overall humanity hashrate it's not secure (and not better than WebMoney).

Well it's not and been solved for the first time by Satoshi Nakamoto. You pick the first block of the most worked chain. Any other thing is no better than WebMoney.

Whats a community? How can it ignore the longest technically valid chain if people come and go, centalized "reference" websites change hands? The Bitcoin is the longest chain, most work burned, it's the definition and trivial

Whats a "known" genesis block?

by Dzugaru 5y ago
As a newcomer - how can I tell the "right" chain apart? In Bitcoin I simply choose the one that burned the most work - it's trivial. In PoS I do what? The longest? Its trivial to produce a long chain. The longest and that hav

> That is, if there are two competing chains, A and B, then if a validator creates a block on B, they get a reward of +R on B, but the block header can be included into A What if it can't (we do ETH 2.342 variant (which doesnt cost

This is huge. I have a pet RTS project too, and the stuff is really complex. The information on large-scale pathfinding for example (ClearPath etc.) is scarce. And I do it on Unity3D/C#, doing this on homemade engine is pure insanity.

I stopped doing step debugging at all many years ago. For me it looks the same as visual vs. text programming. Text and text search tools are just miles ahead of clicking buttons.

This is an excellent take on why the Grossman's idea is plainly idiotic [0]. You don't get more bitcoin for more electricity, you just get more security. The system itself can reach a state when you need 51% of whole planet electr

Anecdotally: I've never seen a "simple state machine" or "simple behaviour tree" in game AI. We've recently started using deep reinforcement learning for our games and its almost like a miracle how simple, effe
