If they get rid of licensed stuff it should be ok no? I really want to use this and seems inevitable that we'll need it just as google translate needs all of the books + sites + comments it can get a hold of.

Point is that the average does in fact write code worst than that (including myself). Having this kind of stuff automated in such a way that it is somewhat "looked after by GitHub" will increase the quality of software overall.

Gamedev has got to be the most rewarding type of software coding there is. It’s a type of coding that is much closer to actual artistic creation rather than engineering. The sheer amount of creative & engaging stories, puzzles, real-tim

It's funny because I behave entirely the opposite. I'm as transparent and open as possible. I'm just myself and no way I can live hiding my own personality because of other people's feelings. If the people around me don&

To me this editor gets it right in the sense that we don’t need to get rid of code as the “nocode” movement is trying. Instead we need to make coding more enjoyable and figure out ways to make it more interactive. One specific thing Utopia

It’s because in normal localhost you have to spin up a server in another process that serves your JS. With this there’s no server serving your JS. It’s right there in the browser already. That’s what they mean.

The space of lightning network is quite new and I think not yet totally proven but to simply say it doesn't work is a bit misleading considering the kinds of people that are working on it and the amount of code that has been worked on

The paper linked is called "Understanding the Lightning Network capability to route payments" which cannot be found in any reputable or peer-reviewed journal. How is that suppose to be a reliable study?

Because the attack surface is low. You can only stop transactions from happening (by mining an empty blog). You can’t change the past. Hence not worth it? Unless you can make a big purchase using the coin and then change history? There are

This "blockchain" space is getting so complicated that I can't see anymore what it is about. Is it a database? Is it a p2p network? Is it a currency? Most of the "blockchains" listed on aggregators such as coinmarke

One thing that PoW has for it is the idea brought up in the paper: where the coin is not just based on popularity of usage, fame or hype but its usage is actually measurable in a very real sense: through how much energy it consumes. The pap

What!? With cryptocurrencies there’s literally no way to redistribute wealth. How’s that better than the current fiat system where at least we can burn the riches money by printing more and devaluating their portion?

Does someone have a deeper understanding into Proof Of Stake? For what I remember it never had the same security promises that Proof Of Work had. In other words if PoS is conceptually sound why don't all cryptocurrencies switch over to

Regarding open source not getting funding: It’s been the most powerful source of volunteering work precisely because there was no money tainting or inducing work on to people. It’s a true example that society can work without capitalism. Le

To me a plausibile answer is that we can at least observe specific dynamics within our own life based world where we keep ants (based on dna like us) in a cage and they’re totally unaware they even are in a cage. For them that’s their unive

Not if you create a system where it's literally impossible to redistribute wealth. If majority of tokens in a crypto system are controlled under priv-keys owned by a small % of the population we'll literally lock ourselves under t

Given it's p2p it's weird they don't mention blockchains. They clearly describe the physics of global warming (Ba dum tss!).

I understand the point of the post but what is “intellectual potential” really? Even if we’re discussing helping humanity as a whole, what does “helping” mean? Maybe we want to make society better, say by helping everyone involved to live t

I'm sad we don't have an open-source alternative to these. Something like Blender but for UX design. Surely it's nice to have a backing of a private company but they seem to switch every few years. Before Figma, Sketch was th

Cool but we’ve had in browser databases since ages. Things like indexedDb and WebSql. But I guess it’s a cool WebAssembly experiment nonetheless.
