Hi Shit sucks sometimes. It's not a nice feeling when you're constantly trying to hold yourself together. You convince yourself you're doing all right, because you're hanging on, but you have no energy to develop yoursel

Every game of Starcraft is decided by an extremely large amount of small events. It is very rare that a single event or misclick is responsible for the outcome of a game, but it happens occasionally. Since players take so many actions durin

Bitcoin does not have an "office" that governments can raid. Governments never embraced Bitcoin, they have no choice. It is not within reach of their usual methods of control (law enforcement, diplomacy, warfare).

I worked on a project before that explores using non-traditional UI on the web: https://overwebs.ruph.in (warning - sound and high bandwidth) It emulates a game UI, and uses background video to simulate physical movement when na

I tried so many janky different ways that I don't quite remember how to reproduce it, but I found that setTimeout was more likely to always execute once per animationFrame, where using MessageChannel would sometimes execute more than o

Ah, I messed up in my haste to experiment :) I expaned my tests a bit and your version does indeed queue a task and not a micro task. I did find it to be somewhat less reliable than setTimeout, is there a particular reason why you used this

Hey @dassurma, can you explain your task scheduling function? As far as I can tell it schedules a micro task, and there is no meaningful difference between that and other microtask scheduling systems: https://codepen.io/ruph

Web Components are HTMLEelement instances, which are ordinary JavaScript objects on which you can set properties without any "non-native mechanisms": `document.querySelector('div').someProperty = {some: 'value'

It's a bit disingenuous to say the templates are parsed with regular expressions. The way lit-html generates DOM Templates from strings is by letting the browser parse the string through innerHTML. The purpose of the regexes you are re

It's exactly narratives like that, "you have to store this passphrase somewhere secure or you risk losing all your money", that makes anything in this space so much less accessible to normal people. You can choose to ignore t

Most merchants I've dealt with accept a transaction in the mempool as enough confirmation of payment, which makes it nearly instant. If you want more strict safety/guarantees, sidechain solutions are starting to reach viability:

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are an active issue for regulators right now. Statements have come out from several parties that confirm networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum are not securities. The SEC is actively shutting down ICO schemes that

Users that already have a Bitcoin wallet don't have to jump through any hoops to spend BTC. It's just as easy as any kind of digital money transfer. Obviously using BTC to pay for anything is a huge hassle if you don't alread

Many posts here about how Bitcoin is not user friendly, and how it can't compete with existing (digital) payment solutions in terms of UX. My experience with it is quite the opposite, and I prefer paying with Bitcoin/cryptocurrenc

Developers use the tools they are familiar with. If you are a Rails developer, you will probably choose Rails when you have to build a website, even if the website doesn't strictly require Rails. Many web developers are familiar with R

Here's what I read from the FAQ: In a very bad scenario where our service is slow, the worst thing that happens is a user being able to use the web app for a couple of seconds before it is denied access. I understand now that you mean

This is nice, but I would never put a piece of code on my property that breaks the user experience (after a few seconds) when a third party service is offline. It's even worse because it causes a highly correlated failure vector across

When consenting to 'upload my contacts from my phone', I think very few people will interpret that as 'upload my complete call and text history'. Is it the user's fault for assuming Facebook is doing what it says it

Reading through this comment section I get the feeling a lot of folks here are rather confused about what it is they really want. On one hand they care about producing quality work, and value doing meaningful work like helping others or sol

There is a Paint.NET remake on Linux called Pinta. Not quite as stable (it struggles with large images), but it has the exact same interface.
