UnNetHack and NetHack4 and its forks have autoexploration. The problem with it is that it's less efficient than exploring on your own. I usually don't care about that. You learn fast when to autoexplore and when not to, to not mis

Your explanation makes sense for bottles, not for Homebrew itself. Homebrew is still at its core "build from source". This is exactly what the bottle bot does, building the same formulas you have on your machine. Why should this n

Define "perfectly working". If I download the Linux sources, compile the kernel and install it, there is no official Nvidia driver to be seen. I didn't say that Nvidia is at fault for the state of the nouveau driver. I said t

Ouch, that's mean. IMHO the only way to react to that is to close down shop. Ideally including Linux throwing out support for Nvidia cards. I have a strong opinion on this as I was involved a few years ago in the Kindle homebrew commun

Both projects seem to put the blame on the other project. IMO, there are at least two other factions that can be blamed equally well. First, nvidia for not providing OSS drivers and second, the user who runs an OS on hardware that can'

How do you know you got the right source code? If you have multiple implementations that disagree how do you decide which one is the right one if there are also 2 competing blockchains available? You said "You only need to know consens

I would like to see that couple pages of text that describe the Bitcoin consensus rules in such a detail that you could do a clean room implementation of a Bitcoin client. Hint: They don't exist. That's because the specification o

The usual reply is "Ethereum Classic". If Ethereum were as centralized as claimed ("cult of Vitalik", etc.), the survival of ETC wouldn't have been possible.

I didn't do arbitrage but running bots for statistical data via API. I think latency is not even the big problem, although of course you have to account for it when doing arbitrage. The latency can be quite high even during calm period

What do you mean by "manually"? The general web page of an exchange is horrible slow compared to their APIs and often breaks during high volume periods.

But that is much less of a problem than other similar constraints. You can use any computer, wipe it and use something like Tails to access the blockchain. There is not a centralized supplier of blockchain manipulation devices.
