Would recommend reading Ben Edgington's annotated spec: https://benjaminion.xyz/eth2-annotated-spec/phase0/beacon-ch... It's not entirely up to date (none of the annotated specs are) but out of the three

I'm kind of befuddled as to why the original "Modifier functions" solution is not better than the "And now we can finally unify our getter and modify lenses into one:" solution.

Ha. This is so dumb. People can already easily link a Medium page / github gist / whatever. The reason people write threads is that people don't like to click links that get them out of the Twitter flow. Many reasons for this

Plugging the project of a friend: https://mazury.xyz/ It's web3-focused for now (and the blockchain is core to how it works: i.e. to collect certified attestations) but I think it has much broader ambitions.

They wouldn't have this issue if they allowed (but flagged for children, advertisers, people who don't opt in) NSFW content in the first place. It's allowed on Twitter, so why not on Instagram?

I remember they showed some auditor's attestations, but they're not releasing the details of the audit, just the conclusion.

The speculation in this thread is silly. While Tether is certainly opaque (you could say shady), it's incredibly doubtful that it's unbacked to a significant extent. Even if it's only backed at 50% (which would be really shoc

FWIW TodoMVC does list a vanilla JS implem: https://todomvc.com/examples/vanillajs/ It's older though (seems to have been first written 6 years ago) and has significantly more code.

Strange to see people in this thread seemingly accepting this as face value evidence that the trend is dying. For that, you'd need to also see a chart of people who have added .eth to their name. (I have no horse in this race, I had .e

Tbh, I would expect Google to have enough money to do both [develop new OS] and [maintain/improve existing products].

It's pretty nice! I'd love to see the compiled output of the examples though!

Hey! I'm the OP, publicizing this here today because we have set up a bug bounty for the system described in this thread! We're paying 50k for people that are able to completely break the system, and 5k for minor problems. Details

What a hack article, trying to make something that's obviously a good service to many people look bad, not via hard evidence by shady insinuations, and thus failing at it miserably.

As if they were enforcing jack squat currently?? It's well known that Russia is a safe haven for piracy & copyright infringment. Can't say that hasn't benefitted me quite a few times.

It's hard to trust a conclusion if three quarters of the argument offered in support are inaccurate. At least, it should invite a healthy dose of skepticism. Calling the author of the article "some bored duded that wrote an articl

This is a good point, and definitely worth considering. I would however weigh the benefits of these languages with the cost of complexifying the toolchain, adding another language into the mix, & future maintainability (I'm pretty

People keep saying not to use this, and I think that's pretty wrong-headed. Sure, if you're going to do greenfield software development, and you don't absolutely need to kind of closeness to the metal (not just performance, b

Not abandonned though, just no features to be added, and C doesn't evolve a whole lot, so no need for updates. This is a pretty desirable state for a project to be in, actually.

He can talk a big game about ethics, for someone representing an organization that is essentially stealing the labour of publicly funded researcher and putting it behind a paywall. I'm an hypocrite like all the others though, I was a m

Seems fishy to me when he says "I just sent ETH to the contract to get WETH" because this is assuredly not how it works. You have to call the `deposit` function of the smart contract (transfering ETH with it indeed). And to withdr

That's disingenuous. These are really basic concepts in the space (where space = smart contract blockchains). If you're going to slush a cool half mil around, you should really have absolutely basic litteracy of how this stuff wor
