It's up to the programmer. In the systems I've worked on, we always sent the data itself in little endian.

I have an photo of a handwritten signature that I use in Adobe. They do a pretty good job of extracting the signature contours from the photo. I've also seen a (much crappier) version of this on my mobile banking app, for processing ph

Here's one easy rebuttal: on the Sia network, renters are able to choose which hosts their store data on, and they will use a number of factors to decide which hosts to use, not just price. For example, low latency is important for som

Any plans to allow inserting images (i.e. a signature)? Filling out PDFs is a huge pain for me and I'd love to replace it with this, but I need to insert handwritten signatures, not just text.

If millions of years of evolution have reinforced "us vs them" pathways, it's probably a mistake to dismiss them out of hand as a Bad Thing. This article repeatedly implies that snap judgments are bad, presumably because they

ETH's long-term inflation behavior is undefined because the dev team has shown their willingness to alter the consensus rules whenever they deem it necessary.

Then the scanners start doing the same, and boom, you've got a GAN that quickly learns to be incredibly good at pretending to be human.

@OP: I think you'll enjoy my own hacking of Go's map type here: http://lukechampine.com/hackmap.html Of course, there are all sorts of reasons why this is A Bad Idea, but it's too fun to resist. :)

That's fair. Go was designed from the start to be pragmatic rather than innovative. It is a refinement, rather than an enhancement, of its predecessors. And I definitely appreciate that when working with other people's code: it&#x

Simplicity and consistency is the biggest strength of Go. D is a complicated language with a ton of features. That makes it harder to learn, and it makes it more likely that you'll encounter "cleverness" in other people'

None of them are ready to use in a serious capacity yet. However, Sia's network has been live for 2 years now, and people are forming smart contracts, getting paid to host data, and backing up real files on the network. The fundamental

We've experienced these downsides as well, although it seems that boltdb's memory usage can be deceptive due to mmap'ing the db file.

Thanks for clarifying. What is the use case for 500000+200000 blocks/shards though? I can't imagine a real-world scenario that requires more than ~100 parity blocks. Even still, it would be a big deal if FastECC is 10x+ faster at

I do not claim that it is only a problem with lassiez-faire. Governments are of course capable of the same manipulation. I only claim that lassiez-faire does not solve the problem either, and indeed may be worse since the people believe t

This highlights an important failure of total lassiez-faire: by restricting or distorting access to information, you can effect a nefarious result without violence or even protests. It's like slowly boiling a frog. And it works especia

The payoff of the simpler type system is that people don't write posts like OP's about Go. The language has its rough edges, but it's not a brick wall the way Rust is -- you can learn the idioms and become a productive Go pro

Another possibility: walking is a means of seeding your brain's RNG with new entropy. That would explain why some sedentary activities (like driving to work or fiddling with a toy) can help you think too.
