I think part of the magic with the NES was that you could plug it into your TV and it would just work. I can only use a Vive if I have a high powered gaming computer in a place conducive to gaming.

VR was just overhyped early. It will catch on. Keep in mind that these are all 1st generation products. When an immersive VR system comes with a wireless headset, costs less than $500 and doesn't require 30 square feet of space, then

The SEC is clearly trying to send a message that is watching the crypto space by titling the press release as such.

Fungibility of the coins is a differentiating competitive advantage of bitcoin over, say, PayPal. Blacklisting coins leads to regulation, which leads to government control, etc. Soon I can't send money to someone in China because the

You are correct. I incorrectly interpreted "don't do TDD" as "don't do tests".

by deweller 9y ago
I grant the premise that TDD has drawbacks. But are they really worse than the drawbacks of not writing tests? Code with no test coverage will have more defects and will be more prone to regressions. For many projects TDD is the best we&#x

It is important to note that not all of the on-chain solutions are cumulative. Say that increasing the gas limit and swapping virtual machines does get you an 8x improvement each. After both are implemented, you don't don't have

My restore experience was also poor with Backblaze. The download speed was slow. If I had to restore an entire drive it would have take me many days to download the entire thing. I switched to Arq with Amazon Drive as the storage backend.

Many of these are pure speculation or beginning projects. Others are platforms (ETH) or ledgers (XRP) that are seeing significant growth in usage. But in the grand scheme of things, ALL of these are speculation plays at this point. With ma

Yes - for your own coins. You can re-spend the coins that you own and send them to another location and invalidate one of your own spends. You cannot rewrite or modify any other transactions that you do not hold the private keys for. You c

A 51% attack only beats out the other miners. The network includes all of the individuals and businesses who run nodes but don't mine. They will only accept valid blocks. So say you execute a 51% attack and attempt to include an inval

> you can attack the network by including illegitimate transactions in the blocks This part is incorrect. Any block with an invalid transaction will be rejected by the rest of the network.

You cannot rewrite or otherwise change transactions with a 51% attack, nor can you capture any bitcoin. You can, however, deny certain (or all) transactions from being mined into a block. And you can exclude past transactions if you can ov

The point that the author is trying to make here is that the digital asset cannot be forged. The Bitcoin blockchain and the Counterparty protocol enforce this.

As blockchain industries begin to deliver on some of their promises, then the real-world impact of owning a token on a blockchain starts to increase. Consider a promotion where you receive a 20% discount while purchasing a new game on Steam

But... A few big jobs > many small jobs Low-paying jobs will consume more time than you expect. Be careful when quoting these. Always charge more than you think you need to cover your time.

Ethereum is an incredibly ambitious and exciting project. I really want Ethereum to succeed, and it probably will. But it is easy to underestimate the widespread adoption and trust in Bitcoin. Bitcoin will always be the standard cryptocurr

This seems so obvious. Is that just due to hindsight? Why wasn't this implemented 3 years ago?

From time to time, I need to understand what is going on under the hood of a framework to debug a problem or understand the best way to do things. I find Laravel easy to understand when browsing code because of the short methods. There are

Arcade style games will not work. As soon as there is value to be gained, someone will quickly write a bot to simulate player inputs and play a perfect game.

I found this insightful. I've been a professional software developer for 20 years. In the early days, I would experience thoughts like "I just figured out an elegant solution to a hard problem. I am a GOD AMONG MEN!!!!" Abo

Fun game. Still has some bugs to work out. I lost all control about 66% through my game. None of my movements worked with the mouse or the keyboard. I could only watch as others conquered my territory.

What is interesting here are the trade offs. This battery has tech has a larger size, making it infeasible for consumer electronics. But it promises better safety, less cost and more cycles. It has a long way to go from lab to the marketp

Wait. Are we sure Gavin wrote this? Has Gavin confirmed this anywhere else? Gavin doesn't mention it on his Twitter account. Does anyone have a primary source that corroborates this from Gavin?
