If this weren't HackerNews, where sarcasm is heavily discouraged, I'd assume that you were being very sarcastic. But since this is HackerNews, I'm confused. I mean, surely anyone who knows anything about blockchains would be

Sarcasm? Or do you believe that there's currently only one Bitcoin blockchain, and that all of the NFT's are on it?

I sometimes wonder if they get that there's no " THE blockchain ". I mean, an NFT would tend to exist on a particular blockchain. If that blockchain forks (e.g., [as Bitcoin's done a number of times]( https://

In C#, basically all methods are `static` by-default. Just, if a programmer doesn't explicitly mark a method as `static`, then the compiler implicitly inserts an extra argument into the call-signature for `this`. For example: pu

Right -- it's an issue of virtual vs. non-virtual, not static vs. non-static. For example, [this comment]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31379783 ) provided code showing the issue in this branch of the thread usi

It's actually the default in C#. This is, in C#, all methods are called according to an object's apparent-type, not its actual-type, by default. To get the Java-behavior, a C#-method would need to be declared `virtual` (or `abstr

Twitter blocking an account for a message made by that account seems mundane and uninteresting. The related issue of someone-else allegedly posting on the author's Twitter-account would seem more interesting.
