Yes, sorry about that. I really wanted to find one conference talk that went into a lot of details about picking gas limit and why (sync catching up, etc), but after googling for a couple of minutes, couldn’t find it.

Sure, “to get rich”. Not a very productive discussion. The WHY I meant was “why these technical choices”. Even if we take a cynical view that all of crypto is purely a money extraction machine, we can still learn something new by looking at

This is not a good article. Or at least, very intellectually dishonest. I could go point by point, but instead, just one will do. The comparison of ETH block vs Raspberry Pi. It is presented as if it’s some kind overlooked, unsolved issue b

Interesting thing: it's hard to take a step into Personal Knowledge Management / note-taking / learning systems, and not discover the unreasonable effectiveness of Spaced Repetition Systems. However, these ideas were not even

One unmentioned con: no updates, no new torrents can be added (or, updates require re-deployment of full new .sqlite db, together with a new website). I think there's a space for decentralized database format. Something that would have

What's wrong with IPNS? I'm using it for my decentralized website (via fleek), and it seems to work well.

Not what I expected at all: log (n.2) "record of observations, readings, etc.," 1842, sailor's shortening of log-book "daily record of a ship's speed, progress, etc." (1670s), from log (n.1). The book so called

Yes, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have very illegal content. So far, nobody cared about this aspect.

I'm sorry, it's difficult for me to find a truly charitable interpretation of this response. But I'll do my best. Blockchains started very simply. Famously, Bitcoin's whitepaper is just a couple of pages long. Simple sys

There are many gateways that allow viewing IPFS content over HTTP (e.g. ipfs.io), but the "true" IPFS experience is not over HTTP, it's done via P2P and addressed using content hashes. For example, one of my NFTs has content

While it's refreshing to hear critique from someone who actually built something on web3, there are a couple of points where I'd dare to disagree, somewhat. Particularly, regarding "early days". It really is, still, earl

> Register a new HN handle here for comms about Kagi. I think one of the best things about HN is that there are few "corporate" accounts, and founders continue to communicate from their personal accounts.

It’s a problem, I agree, but because the “authenticity information” can be expressed somewhat succinctly (it’s just a smart contract address), the trust element can be decentralized. Artist might post it on their Twitter, Instagram and webs

This page argues for registering artworks and going to courts to verify full chain of custody, not to mention having digital identities issued by a trusted authority, which is also usually not free. All combined, this is a lot more expensiv

Not quite, I've learned it by looking at MDN and some other samples. Maybe I'll write up a tutorial for others.

For me it was a combination of IDE that allowed very easily to merge different assets (text, vector graphics, sounds) with basic scripting and a timeline. Now you kind of have to think in code, and architect the site as a whole, there'

I love SMIL. Have been using it to craft custom SVG loaders for almost every brand I've worked with. Loader is usually much smaller than a gif, vector, animated 60 FPS, etc. So good.

This is the best take I've seen on HN. It's unfair to judge tech by its scummiest users, just as it is unfair to present future potential as if it's already here. There is remarkable amount of technological innovation being c

You can try to use a third-party client like Tweetbot. They don't have ads.

The question is, which aspect is monetized: reading or writing? If it's reading, then I see Twitter quickly losing out to a platform that is free to read. Politicians and celebrities wouldn't make announcements on a platform that

Looks like OP's post is out of the homepage, so I can reply without downvote avalanche incoming. I agree with your sentiment. It is probably the most exciting aspect of the internet, and digital ownership concept has a long and excitin

Everyone’s mind is of different shape. We won’t ever have enough note-taking, to-do and email apps. And all existing ones will be bad in some way.

What do you mean by "as a feature"? Devs agree that MEV is a problem (a very hard one), and are trying to solve it.

If you look at ALL of his articles, they are ALL about one topic only, how crypto is a scam. I'm for one very glad he exists. He'll either end up being able to say "told you!", or, more likely, as a great quote in some a

Has anyone found any similar information on Apple's codes used for App Clips? They are round, with five concentric circles formed of dashes. I've been googling, but can't find any analysis of their structure.

First: I'd like to hear feedback why my previous comment was heavily downvoted. Was it too condescending? It's not about having access to content, but about owning the "thing". You might buy a painting and post high reso
