I didn't see anything on energy consumption or transaction throughput/fees. How can one discuss merits of bitcoin and not talk about any of this?

I feel like NASA really stepped up their game with the telecasts, learning lessons from SpaceX. SpaceX has been making an effort to make the livestreams much more accessible.

AFAIK Ethereum is still proof of work, meaning miners are not doing useful calculations. Miners are not just running smart contracts.

That's not why it's done though. It will often be accompanied by pseudoscience justification that doesn't hold up to rationality or accepted science. Even if that wasn't the case though, what do you expect to be gained b

What does being strong have to do with it? Bodybuilders are judged closer to figure skaters are than powerlifters. Whether you think that makes it an 'art' or not is subjective, but the sport itself is very subjective. It's j

While some bodybuilders are incredibly strong, they train differently than strongmen do in a lot of ways. The most obvious thing is that bodybuilders do more reps (further away from a 1 rep max) and do more exercises for smaller bodyparts l

Depends what you mean. Genetics plays a big role in competitive bodybuilding, but it plays a big role in any sport. Some people are genetically predisposed to put muscle on easier, some people genetically can be leaner, all of these things

Is this meaningful? You can define a widget library easily in React and it's capable of representing hierarchical GUIs in a way that's not OO
223.
by leshow 6y ago
I used to think this too. And I have to admit OO does lend itself well to GUI and hierarchical structures (IMO probably the only case I think it is actually useful). But that's not to say that there aren't declarative methods that

I think the argument is that the fact these services represent a monopoly that means they shouldn't have absolute power on who gets to use their platform.

It's been a while since I used C++ but I have never seen suggestions of the same quality that the rust compiler produces. Do you have a link that shows the error messages you're talking about? For sure though, not every error has

i3 is one of the reason I could never run macOS. It's so ingrained in my workflow... I even wrote custom firmware for my keyboard (built off QMK) that has keybindings specifically for use with i3.

Great work here, interesting project. I get the desire to roll your own versions of things, but personally I'd feel more comfortable using it if it used the standard community packages for dns and logging like trust-dns and tracing tho

Well, the std lib disagrees with you. In Rust, type definitions tend to be maximally generic and restricted with traits only in their implementation. Have a look at BTreeMap for example: pub struct BTreeMap<K, V> { root: O
236.
by leshow 6y ago
The fact that there are options is my point: it's ambiguous. That's the reason there is no implementation for it in the std lib. You're absolutely free in Rust to define your own though.

we're talking about a range of vec![8,9]..vec![1,2] for example. What does 'traverse the entries' between those two values mean?

There are plenty of hurdles in Rust, but I wouldn't call this one of them. What exactly do you expect an Iterator for a range of vectors to do?

I think it's toxic to suggest your way or ideas are better without giving people any way to verify that they are. Of course anyone can have an opinion about anything.
