Not quite as much I would say, because crypto tokens are priced based on an over speculation of their potential long term explosion, rather than their more down to earth utility function.This is because their current utility is still to be

I agree that unfortunately a lot of crypto projects are way too tokenomics centered, instead of utility centered. BitTorrent style projects are far more restrictive for a lot of applications though. If something is without cost, then it be

Indeed, my bad. The argument still holds though. Overall team disparity should be much higher at low level than high level. A team composed of "Michael Jordan + random players" would crush any amateur league with 100% win rate. Th

I'm not sure the methodology as a whole makes any sense, even with the prediction overfit aside. The Y axis is the mean score of the team, but that score is not independent from the opposing team. It means that it does not refute the h

Is size really that much of a problem with React? With some chunk splitting and a good hosting, it has always seemed reasonable to me. The main argument for me when choosing a front end framework is the availability of ready-made UI compone

Hu yes they do. Last I checked they both had NAT traversal through UPnP. I remember that years ago bitcoin even had peer discovery through IRC channels in case UPnP was disabled.

I don't necessarily agree... I want widespread crypto, because I want to have the autonomy to initiate transfers myself, transparency of my accounts, easier back office, less payment middlemen, etc. Yet I would like a state managed cry

This is a common problem for any peer to peer protocol. Doesn't really strike me as a problem though, it just means the client has responsibility of opening a port. Considering the complication of adding 1000s of hole punching strategi

This seems like a false problem. The state you are describing is not stable, as validators have an incentive 1) to validate, instead of just sitting doing nothing 2) to choose the chain with the most likely chance of being the next main, ot

You can have hybrid smart contracts, that rely on oracles inserting real world data on chain (see Chainlink for example). You could for instance have 5 independent oracles responsible for validating whether the concert happened or not. The

Why should you care? You are not supposed to buy ETH as a way to speculate on its price. ETH is a resource used to represent processing and storage power. You can think of it as "AWS credits" that you can buy and use to run progra

This reminds me of the kind of things one could find on /r/showerthoughts Same vein: why do we do towel laundry since we're using them after the shower once we're clean.

The problem with crypto is that you cannot hedge everything. Some tokens, such as exchange tokens (BNB, FTT, etc) are unshortable locally (by construction) and no other exchange proposes futures for them. This creates a very risky lock in t

The problem with environment variables as configuration is that it's unstructured, hardly documented, and overall hard to reproduce and inspect. Nothing is worse than trying to understand an issue with a program that heavily relies on

by Galanwe 4y ago
Not to mention the horrible configuration anti-pattern where everything depends on environment variables. Environment variable tweaks are for local-only specific fixes, not for reproducible/distributable configuration.

Thanks for your answer. How does CI work in practice? how do you avoid rebuilding and retesting the whole repo at every change? That would be an insane waste of resource and time.

Indeed, the small additional bookkeeping is the price to pay. I'm quite used to it, so I don't even see it anymore. Is that all? These 5 less minutes of bookkeeping are the killer feature of monorepos? Because, as far as I see it,

Can someone explain the rationale behind switching to a monorepo? I just don't get it. Does it mean also having a single unified production environment build? I have been managing a stack composed of 500+ repositories, communicating th

Agree 100% Although it's sane that developers keep contact with the reality of maitaining the live applications they wrote, it just doesn't scale to ask them to fully support them. There is an infinite amount of maintenance for an

How did you end up comparing Binance to a bank? The closest equivalent to what Binance is would be a broker. Now I challenge you to find any broker on the planet that can promise instant FX swap settlement on the same day for a cash account
