Doesn't answer the question of why. React is the same old flawed component framework that will be replaced with the next cool thing eventually. A component system would allow objects built in whatever technology to co-exist over decade

I'm pretty sure the zillions of Excel users proves it's not logic that's the problem It's all the scaffolding around it that is the real barrier of entry to most development systems.

Wasn't web components supposed to be the holy grail to bring us back to vb6 like composable front end applications? What happened?

I'm the opposite. New applications are the ones you refactor the most, and refactoring is an order of magnitude easier/faster when the code is statically typed. Refactoring any dynamically typed application (regardless of size) is

That's like your opinion. I write software because it's fun. Getting paid is icing on the cake.

There's no technical or physical limit to why so many things can't be automated, which means everything that can, will be automated eventually.. Super popular games like Factorio and Satisfactory are glimpses of a potential near f

But how does defunding actually change the rules? The police still seem to be above the law even after defunding.

The violence was not out of control last night. Case in point the video above showing hundreds of police officers surrounding peaceful protesters. I am offended by the massive waste of resources. Case in point news helicopters not filming

Changing the laws to end 'qualified immunity' is much more important. Demilitarizing the police is also important. Maybe defunding would help with that. Watching police impose an excessive curfew on 10 million people (LA county) a

All that matters is what sells. Create a car with tons of buttons and switches today, go out of business tomorrow.

The consensus part of 'Proof of Stake' systems is crazy complicated, and there really has been no simple way of doing it determined yet. It's still very much an experiment. Proof of work on the other hand is an order or magni

You never mine all the blocks, and regardless of the reward there is always a transaction fee which incentives mining. Regardless though my point about space heaters was that 'being warm' is enough incentive for some people to min

Supply of what? The supply increase of coins is constant regardless of the hashrate. This is exactly why there was no effect on bitcoin price when the reward rate halved. The value of the coin drives mining behavior, not the other way arou

Not really. They are cemented into those blockchains. Unless you have a way to back write a blockchain.

It also works with solar and wind.

Good. My long held worthless altcoins will remain worthless and mine regardless.

There's a big difference between rewriting all history and rewriting a portion of it during an attack which costs 400k per hour. Also people may misinterpret 'rewriting history' as the ability to to change coins sent from A -

by trixie_ 6y ago
Right, I guess I feel less at risk of being the victim of a double spend and more at risk with rewriting history. Are there any reports of that? Like coins I've held on the chain for some time being stolen?

It doesn't 'have' to be high. The hash rate could be 1/1000 of what it is today without any risk to 'settlement assurance'

Small space heaters run at 750 watts on the low setting.

Not saying this isn't a possibility, but you'd think in the last 5 years of thousands of altcoins this sort of thing must of happened at least once? I guess the interest has to be there to attack it? Though if the interest was the

That is why I made the analogy to a space heater - because mining would be a free side benefit of something you actively use to keep warm. The environmental impact is also negligible if the power you're using is coming from solar or wi

'Bitcoin is the product of hashpower. The industry wouldn’t exist without incentivizing miners to continuously invest in hardware and burning electricity to augment Bitcoin network’s settlement assurance' I think this is a common

Maybe not during Mercury, but definitely during the 70s all the technology was there to build a cheap, reusable rocket and capsule. The dream was that the shuttle could be that system, but it did not turn out that way. And giving in to the

What's great though is that all the technology, systems, tooling, procedures, experience, etc.. that has been developed for Dragon 2 will roll right into Starship. It's a huge head start.

None of the things you listed depend on explanations outside of the realm of physics that we already understand. Theoretically with a simulator powerful enough and using the principles we already know, all of the items you listed could be s

ExtJS was pretty close, but its license model was never good enough for mass adoption.
