Oh, I agree. See my other comment on this page, I said the exact thing you did! Most cases where blockchain is usable, alternatives are still simpler, unless you actually need it to be distributed and zero trust, blockchain probably doesn&#

That's good to hear! I still use and like cloudflare workers, but at the time, earlier this year, the debugging experience was still a bit rough. So if that's improving, then I'm happy.

I personally never really figured out how to get it working properly when I was using it. I resorted to just returning data as the response page to see what I was debugging and testing "in production". This was a few months ago, s

So you limit the types of transactions in your blockchain to "this thing has been issued to this person/id/hash/whatever" and do not have any transactions of the type "this thing has changed ownership to a n

How? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. Since drivers licenses are linked to individuals, and cannot be traded, the traffic cop that's checking your license will need to compare it to your government issued ID. Th

Agreed. On top of that, I still have no idea what the language even looks like. I clicked around for a while and couldn’t find a clear bit of example code. I looked through the first few pages of the tutorial but all it showed me was indivi

Yeah at home my work laptop is always plugged into ethernet. I use WiFi for my phone and my old “tv watching” laptop.

When I hosted (2008), we were very active hosts that summer and we basically required people to write personalised messages telling us who they are and why they like the sound of staying with us specifically. We got a lot of generic copy an

Oof, that's rather sad. My experience with it was 2008 and 2009 and it was very different: very casual, interesting people from around the world staying with and hanging out with each other. It was very pleasant and was the focal point

Yes, hosted on github pages. That’s what I said in my comment: hosted for free on github pages as a static site . If GH pages goes down, you wait for it to come back. The point is that GH pages won’t disappear because of passage of time (i

Perhaps. It still paints them in a very untrustworthy light though and since some of their actions (actively suppressing that covid was even a thing) directly caused many deaths, they are definitely guilty, even if not of everything. I’m no

Coincidences also happen surprisingly often, if you watch out for them. For example, there are many known cases throughout history where multiple people independently discovered or invented the same thing at about the same time. So that Cov

If it’s javascript-only, then surely it could run in the client and be hosted for free on github pages as a static site and not have to worry about going down.

Yeah, in my personal experience, the biggest problem in very early stage startups has always been figuring out what the right thing to build is, and actually building a version of it that people can use. Customer development and product dev

I suppose a related question then is if your review team is applying stricter rules than you are. Surely, in this particular instance, the review team should have been able to see that its a bug in the same way you are. I guess I'm con

The problem with zero trust and only sending what the player can actually see is lag. For example, sure, you could eliminate wall hacks by only sending positions of players that you have line of sight of, but that essentially eliminates any

No anti-cheat will ever completely stop cheaters. There are plenty of cheat tools that are basically impossible to prevent. The question is whether EAC is good enough? I don't know, I play very little multiplayer these days.

Just because its easy (relative to everything else, also it depends on what you mean by "all the details"), doesn't mean it doesn't take time and therefore money. You might argue, "well then generating the code is
