Actually, immutability may probably not even required/desired given the surrounding legal construct and the described processes. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and the previous post is my understanding of the described as a layman. I am

Thank you for the answer, I appreciate the time you took to write it. As I understand it, there is a legal vehicle which performs the actual transfer and the NFT transfer acts as a signal of interest for both parties. In that case, I see th

As much as I always liked the idea of a more frictionless system for the transfer of asset ownership, I still have too many open questions on the integration with the legal system of the participants. Say you have the NFT that claims owners

Agreed. I used ChatGPT to expand that thought to a full essay written in the style of PG [1], but sadly my Ask HN did not start any fruitful discussion. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33846989

Having read a couple of prompts and replies in the past days, I am like 75% sure this response was written by ChatGPT based on its emphasis to stress uncertainty. Then again, HN is the place of public discourse where I would expect expressi

My thoughts exactly, hence the remark. These just happened to be the combination of attributes I gave my adversary when toying around, which I included to explain their explicit occurrence in the result.

I’ll take the strawman. Of course, the software would not be forced upon businesses. Commercial solutions that protect people’s data properly should be perfectly fine to use. I’d even expect many proprietary solutions to come up that solve

Agreed. Ideally, the official policy should be introduced to either fund or contribute to FOSS used.

It is not the main point I am trying to make, but FOSS may be hosted in the same country by an entity whose business is integration and support. The main point I am trying to make, though, is that investing in software that can be used and

My personal favorite outcome of this would be a joint public and corporate funded leap in open source development. This would do much for the budget, privacy and probably also security of businesses and private users. A good example where t

As someone who is currently in the process of untangling a 10yo+ Rails application that engulfs a still fluid business domain and process, my first intuition was to look into clean/hexagonal architecture. These (promise to) also facili

These reasons are why my Canon 7D sees a fraction of the use that my Ricoh GR III sees. A camera small enough to fit in my pockets with a superb image quality and a stabilizer that makes up several stops so no flash is needed.

Actually, no. I started some projects in meat space in 2020 and did not yet find time to check in on this (or to add newer photographs, fwiw). I’ll have another look at the current support. Thank you for reminding me.

Thank you for the hint. I’ll revisit trying that when I can spare some time. I vaguely recall that doing so interfered with the way I ensured the consistent passepartout around my photographs while being responsive, but then again we are ta

I am using the picture tag on my photography blog [1] to serve optimized images for a range of breakpoints. I also used to serve WEBP versions of the photos but noticed that (in my audience) the browser support was sufficiently low to drop

Sidekiq really is a powerhouse supporting many applications I’ve built. Thanks to all contributors! As a friend of both Ruby and Crystal, Sidekiq really shines as a bridge for handing over heavy jobs to Crystal workers.

Ah, excuse me. I was not referring to the XKCD at all, I should have been clearer. Agreed, as usual „it depends“.

I have the uncanny feeling of being quoted verbatim when reading your reply. Adding a PiHole and opting out of tracking and cookies wherever possible improved my online experience considerably. Also, paying for services like Kagi (kagi.com,

Of course there are pros and cons to this position, but just to state a con: anti-virus is usually running with elevated (if not maximum) permissions, tends to load basically any input and once in a while tries to be clever by using self-wr

YMMV but with the introduction of JSON/JSONB columns in Postgres, this becomes very easy to achieve without introducing multiple databases. In my experience, at some point relational data will be required in most projects, even if it w

So far I have been building some smaller CLI tools and a few web apps (with the Lucky framework). I’ve also tinkered with running it in AWS lambda functions in a custom (albeit unfinished) runtime. Coming from a decade of Ruby, due to the s

Back when image boards had their run, using this technique to get posts with „rare“ combinations of digits [1] (e.g. „dubs“) boasting about it in that very post was a popular pastime. Some folks even built serious analytics models around it

While it is not completely impossible to end up (pun intended) with something like this, you usually follow a coding style that avoids it. Kind of like in Ruby. You have the option to define named methods that yield or to use the short one-

I agree insofar as that there is no dedicated runtime for crystal in AWS Lambda, but it can well be used there or in fargate containers. I wrote a (proof of concept) minimal runtime for Lambda some time ago [1] and had pretty decent results

As noted on the first 1.5 release post: It is great to see that there is still progress. Coming from Ruby, Crystal really excites me as a complimentary language. Even though I am not in the target group, I believe that the progress on Windo

As someone with a bit more of a decade of Ruby experience: meta programming can be very confusing for native rubyists, too. There is a place for it (my personal take would be that this place is usually libraries/gems, e.g. if they need
