Same here. For everyone that does this, I hereby recommend FireTitle (currently Crappy FireTitle) which lets you label windows with specific names and maintains them labelled across restarts. It immensely helps navigate the myriad of window

`String` copies are always `String`s and will live on the heap. AFAIK there are no stack strings (plain `str` which I guess is what you mean?) IIRC small fixed-size byte arrays (`[N; u8]`) are sometimes allocated on the stack depending on t

We have a saying here in Spain: from swine, even the gait. Yes, they only have two hinds each, but front legs are sold too (paletilla), papada (jowl), morro (snout), manitas (hoof), lengua (tongue), oreja (ears), various embutidos (cold mea

I didn't make it clear: I meant UI state, not application state. DOM manipulation is inherently stateful, and there is no way websockets are going to help with it. Now your state can live in up to three places: DOM, JS and backend. It&

Don't. Please. I don't want to maintain your state spaghetti. Or if you don't have state to manage, but a few small interactions, just use the plain browser API. Back in the day jQuery was useful to maintain developer sanity

It shouldn't according to its own instructions. I bet jump() has something like `if (robot.touchingFloor) { action = 'jump'; }` which makes your code work because it doesn't overwrite the robot action if it can't ac

I think it's just a case of leaky abstraction. I'd change the API to something like: robot.action = { action: 'jump' }; robot.action = { action: 'move', amount: 4 }; etc. Or if you want t

Assuming with blockchain you mean blockchain+PoW, I fail to see how it solves your problem. The gist of PoW is that so many people contribute work that it's difficult for any party to do more work than the other parties combined. PoW i

Well that's a gotcha on AES-CTR too. GP is asking about mistakes that could happen on AES-GCM that won't happen with AES-CTR+HMAC. I'm no crypto expert, but I'd say there are more opportunities of messing up with AES-CTR

It's unsurprising that discussig what a term means is just semantics ;) Git is not a blockchain (it's a DAG) but that misses the point: I think the term could perfectly be retrofitted if it was the case. Things predating a term do

And that is wrong AFAICT. PoW is what achieves Byzantine fault tolerance, not the blockchain. What blockchain achieves is proof of history given only the latest block's hash. This might or might not have a PoW on top of it to achieve B

Are they? I know it's possible but I can't think of a single use where traditional software and/or contracts are more convenient. What does Ethereum with no PoW bring to the table?
