I think that more precision over application of formulas would solve a lot. Arrays are mapped over by copying the code for each array element by dragging it across a row of cells, and the arguments to the formula are automatically mutated b

I don't know much about Axie Infinity, and it may well be terrible. I was addressing your claim about the private keys. I think that criticisms of what people build with blockchain are entirely fair, and make for informative discussion

Not even joking, with enough time I'm pretty sure you could find an HN post from 2012 saying the same exact thing. EDIT: Actually it was very quick and easy: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1419897600&dateRange=cust

It sounds like the component that was compromised was a bridge controlled by the same validators. I'm glossing over the different components of the system for simplicity.

As usual on HN there are a lot of useless comments in this thread that are ill-informed dunks on cryptocurrency, but the real story of what happened is actually about the hazards of not using a blockchain. The system that was compromised

No, definitely not. Good software does not require all the code in it to be written in the same style, and it never is.

Inherently, good design requires top down authority to force a consistent look, and implementing it requires a bunch of programmers to spend time on boring work. That just doesn't work well in open source where people only want to work

Non techies have been using flat design interfaces for like a decade now and the world hasn't ended. If you personally like another style, totally fine. But it's odd that programmers always think they know more about usability tha

Sorry, but interfaces are not a replacement for sum types. Trying to shoehorn every situation where you might want to deal with multiple different types of things into figuring out what common interface they could implement is a pretty terr

That's irrelevant to the task at hand. The linter can't tell you if your type switch can handle every `interface{}` that might be passed into it some day.
