I only know a cursory amount about Namecoin. That it was built on Bitcoin, but somehow failed. ENS is actually working, and recently launched their DAO for governance.

It's a good question. In practice, a project will publish the official contract address and the chain on their web page. Hence, it becomes a schelling point for users. It assumes that the project owners are in control of their servers

It's best to think of NFTs as deeds to the art (or certificate of authenticity), rather than the art itself. I wrote this a little while back, and it might help you. https://interjectedfuture.com/nfts-unbundle-ownershi

This isn't the whole story. Some NFTs are written to the blockchain. Avastars https://avastars.io/ is an NFT collection that's represented by an SVG. The SVGs are all written on-chain, back when it was cheaper to

I think a couple things. 1/ Have a flavor profile that's targeted towards a demographic you can reach. It's a much easier sell if you have access to an initial distribution channel and that demographic understands immediately

I didn't start with wholesale. I bought retail ingredients and just started experimenting. It took a lot of iterations and tracking with spreadsheets to get it where I had both a front and back note that was noticeable.

I started selling spice blends, the flavor being "Beef Noodle Soup". After seeing "Everything but the Bagel" at Trader Joe's, I thought it was the first spice blend I saw named after a dish. Interesting! If people c

You weren't the target audience of the post. But I found this helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrBq8R_kxI0 As well as this post, which relates react hooks to algebraic effects. https://overreacted.io

I imagine a lot of those green users are sock puppets submitting the first couple of articles.

It originally was. It was originally Startup News. But PG thought it got boring, so expanded the scope to what Hackers might find interesting, so it became Hacker news.

So don’t start with coroutines and just look at OS scheduler and possibly the erlang VM?

by iamwil 5y ago
By polling loop, do you mean like a while loop that checks a queue for work at a preset frame rate?
558.
by iamwil 5y ago
What are the resources to look at for designing the architecture of a scheduling system (for coroutines/threads)? Would I first look at how Operating systems implement it? Or how VMs like Erland implement it? Same question for effects

How did they seize his Bitcoin? I'm guessing it was sitting on an exchange? Did they coerce him into giving up his private keys?

I remember reading a couple years ago, that there's no database. It just reads stuff off disk, and then caches it in memory. It probably also helps that the html/css/js is minimal

A strange thing to complain about, given browsers can override with user settings, if not user plugins.

Indeed I was thinking of a datalog engine. (!) I've had minimal experience with datalog, but you should be able to query it for how it got to its resulting fact, no? So if you find a fact that doesn't make sense, I thought you&#x2

When I have a bug, I find a lot of the time, my basic assumption of what the system is doing was wrong, largely because I had no visibility into what it was doing. For something like status effects, I was thinking about using a datalog engi

Yes, game dev has a lot of grind to it. It was just that one example was related to something I've been thinking about: how come status effects and rules aren't in one central place to be queried? That way, you can spend 2-3 mins

One thing jumped out at me above that I had a question on: With the problem about status effects, how is this typically implemented? Do the rules for interactions exist within the game objects themselves, as if-then-else statements? If so,

Yeah. I've often seen TDD where you act both as the logic programmer writing the tests and the imperative programmer writing the implementation.

by iamwil 5y ago
This is kinda what logic programming is, like in prolog. You tell the computer what you want, and it finds the answer for you. TDD is where you both write what you want, and you do the implementation also.
