Doesn't work in the current speed of development any more. Time to market is more critical than maturity, sadly. That's why every system can be fixed in software now, and that's also why every system can be pwned now.

That's what panic and confusion does: you stop thinking and cling to reflexes.

Personally, I believe the problem is too few sensors. Don't make it 3 or 10, make it 10K sensors. If 10% are off, you can simply ignore them, and not even alert the pilot. Living beings have millions of sensors for most input and are a

Don't delude yourself, even the monogamous couple has to go to the hospital or could, via sheer bad luck, have contracted it from a former partner (I doubt you were talking only about lifelong monogamy). And the second comment, I don&#

Please dump it to your github right now. I have seen too many projects that never got cleaned up and simply died.

Does this have some kind of YAML/JSON serialization format so the result could be exported?

That actually interests me, do you have a Github? Background is that I am building a flexible frontend solution for databases with Bulma, and would like to configure it via YAML/JSON, but of course a drag-n-drop solution would make som

Honestly, it sounds like you now have a write-only site, as you will have a hell of a time 5 years down the road when the CI changes. Personally, I find the Vue.js concept much nicer, but even given that, I define my styling in LESS (SASS..

I have a /really/ hard time believing you wouldn't factor out a couple of POJO's from those properties that belong together and include them to compose your classes. Sounds more like sloppy data modeling.

Man, that brings back memories, my first Mac was a IIsi running on a b/w monitor. Thanks for your efforts, you are doing really cool projects.

Every transaction in BTC is secured by miners - that's the whole reason mining exists in the first place. If you buy it and transfer it to your wallet, some miner mines that transaction into a block (and gets rewarded for that).

There's additionally 4. Targeting transaction throughput via spam/dust attacks where malicious miners introduce empty blocks or transactions with very small sums to clog up the network/drive up tx fees. To my knowledge, this

I think your misunderstanding is believing users are locked into a crypto system if its implementation is controlled by a small group. They are not - if the developers abuse their power, users are free to migrate elsewhere and take their fu

A lot of BTC celebs didn't follow BCH at all. And essentially, L2 scaling as well as SegWit was shoved down our throats by the BTC Core devs. I don't see how that was very decentralized. OTOH, I am not strongly against it, as dece

To me, that feels more like a hidden contract. Giving away for free a software only to require the user to do the same. That's why I prefer BSD-style licenses - when they write "free", they mean "free".

Here. I was a huge Firefox fan, but having 50+ tabs open made the browser unusable - even the latest versions. I then switched reluctantly to Chrome, but always hated the UI. Having downloaded Brave, it was love on first sight, looks good,

It might just work in Sweden, which has a low population density, but the fires around Potsdam are in the Berlin vicinity - people would probably frown at bombings, even if the bombs used are laser-guided precision ordnance.

I don't know, man. The average web page size is now around 2.5MB [1], jQuery is <1% of that. I am not going to be less productive to shave off 1% of total page size. If that means that some random satellite user has to wait 101s ins

I don't quite understand why browser vendors haven't developed a terse, fluid API similar to jQuery/zepto with a touch of underscore/lodash and standardized on it. Not only would this be easier to code to, but the JS run

jQuery adds something like 20Kb to the whole site, that is nothing I see as a problem on mobile.
