A unit test would almost certainly explain the behavior in a completely separate place. That's not documentation.

you could enforce proper types that do not have any inaccuracies

The number of languages that compile to JS or WASM is increasing, maybe I'd use Elm or Rust.

> consider using strings And because '1' + '1' === '11' is not the pinnacle of arithmetic either, consider using bignumber.js or a better language than JavaScript

You are working under dangerously incorrect assumptions. JavaScript data structures are all mutable, except some primitives.

Is it better than a webcam image piped through sha256?

There are many non-blockchain scenarios where there is difficult-to-remove data. How would one deal with embedded illegal data stored in firmware? Public records? And which subsets of illegal data are legal?
582.
by VMG 9y ago
That not important. My point is that you could unknowningly store illegal data, without blockchain being involved. Anyone sharing the data by torrenting an apparently legal file, reposting an image, or quoting a text could redistribute pote

What's meant by "containing"? Regular wallet software doesn't allow access to anything besides transaction data. You won't be able to view any text or images. The number "Pi" contains all hate speech and o

You can make a browser extension extracting illegal data from innocuous images on twitter

by VMG 9y ago
The data embedded in the blockchain can only be extracted using custom tools. Custom tools can be used to extract any data from almost any other kind of other data, using steganography. You can extract illegal data from innocuous looking tw

100%. I hope they spun it as "unthinkable" for PR reasons, which would be slightly less bad.

Point taken, but they first could have investigated a unit mixup before assuming fraud. Or they could always track mileage with explicit units, not assuming a default.

there is a tradeoff between ease of comprehension for everybody and syntactic simplicity (that is easy to comprehend for those familiar)

Compilers or interpreters are also great. In my experience the knowledge directly translates to everyday programming tasks.

Segwit enables many things, one of them is Lightning Network. While that is an off-chain transaction system, it still is trustless and decentralized. In fact the transaction cost reduction could make custodial services like exchanges less a
