Not 100% what you’re asking for but git scraping is a pretty cool technique. The idea is you set up a bot to scrape the data and commit to a git repository periodically. This can be done completely for free with no maintenance using GitHub

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for the link, all this stuff is so interesting from a thought experiment point of view.

I know the thing is crashing and burning as we speak, but that seems like a crazy single point of failure for something claiming to be decentralized... What if the oracle has downtime?

One thing I don’t understand here: where does the smart contract get the information of the current luna/usd exchange rate? It can’t be an api call surely, it must be on-chain somehow.

More accurately why would you want either when the whole thing is propped up by marketing hype. To properly answer your question, Terra has no upside: no way to 10x. So yes, gambling.

Doesn’t it say something about how useful nix is when you have all these smart people complaining about its warts (and it definitely has quite a few) but still using it? It is the way I’ve always wanted a package manager to work, and it rea

Which is great for users. I seriously love Sign in with Apple because it lets you hide your email address from random app #941245. I always wondered why so many apps support it because it seems like they'd prefer to know your real emai

I think the difference is largely a culture problem. Most python devs think of typing as a “nice to have” extra, whereas someone using a typed-at-compile-time language see it as an essential feature of good code. You can see the results of

I genuinely wonder if Elon Musk has friends, in the same way that you or I mean the word. I’m sure he has a great many people trying to get close to him, but when there’s such an obvious incentive for the other party I can imagine it being

Most people in this thread seem to be ignoring another very major cause: the inconsistent naming for personal READMEs between users and organizations. Users have their README at username/username, but orgs have it at orgname/.gith

The prefix seems better to me because you read it first, and also the x is a more clear marker than h because it’s at the opposite end of the alphabet to the rest of the hexadecimal digits.

What do performance problems in a terminal even look like? I feel like a crazy person in this thread because I’ve literally never had the thought: “I could be so much more productive but this damn terminal is slowing me down”.
