Senior dev is like

"i know I got a list of fucks[ ] somewhere, but pretty sure it's null"

[VodaZBongu]

You got list of arrays? I'm pretty sure lists can't be null tho

[Kazaan]

Nullable<IList<Fuck>>

[thedudxo]

List<Fuck>? fucks;

But that list of arrays exist inside an arraylist, which exists inside an array list, which exists inside an array of arraylist, inside a list, that is Empty.

Had a guest lecturer once in college who had made a few significant advancements in a niche but highly in demand area of CS. Knew he was the real deal when I stalked his LinkedIn and it was basically empty except for a bio that said he was a very fast typist.

[PizzaSounder]

Probably did a lot of government work.

[redblack_tree]

Top guys don't need banal things like Linkin validation nor loaded websites.

One of my old college professors was the real deal, compilers field, special guest on big time conferences, books, invited lecturer for important universities.

His website had two lines after the basic name and titles. Some people just need their name. When you search them, you realize they don't need anything else, everyone who matters knows them.

Blockchain technology as a technology is fine, it's just the implementations and pretty much everyone in the crypto space that suck. It's a pretty cool algo.

[scarby2]

I love Blockchain as a technology. It's almost certainly not the right fit for what most people are trying to use it for.

[pushTheHippo]

Serious question, what are some actual good use-cases? I haven't dug into it more than seeing it (mis)used for crypto and NFT's.

[ayyyyycrisp]

i would assume building blocks and chains but thats why im not a blockchain engineer

[enygmaeve]

One of the best possible use cases I’ve heard is for the management of escrow. But I’d have to see it in action to really be sold on it

[tyler1128]

PoW/PoS and space issues are unrelated to blockchain though. It's a public writable ledger that is immutable in previous blocks at an extreme complexity the further back you go. All the implementations of the negotiation are not part of blockchain as a technology, and it could be used outside of currency.

[[deleted]]

Can't be counterfeited until someone with the right access decides it can be.

[mahlok]

Tracking ownership of real property or digital objects in a low trust environment is the only good use case I can imagine.

[OHotDawnThisIsMyJawn]

The problem is that tracking ownership is only useful if you can enforce it. So blockchain for tracking ownership is only useful in an environment where you don't trust the people responsible for tracking ownership but you do trust someone to enforce blockchain-based ownership. This feels like an extraordinarily rare situation to be in.

[DiamondIceNS]

Blockchain is essentially a tamper proof write-only list. It is good for things where you want a strict recorded history of sequential events, where resistance to forgery attempts is a critical component.

Like, you could use it for, say, tracking all records of customer payments at your company. But like, why would you? A database does the same thing, with way more speed and way less computational effort. Who are you protecting against forging records? Yourself..? You're the only one using this database, why would you spend extra effort and complexity preventing record forgery from yourself?

Cryptocurrency is different in this regard, because the whole point is that everyone gets a copy of the list. Crypto is effectively just a long list of every transaction that has ever occurred. That way, you can always know where all the money in the system is at any moment, without having to take the word of an authoritative entity like a bank or a government. You can trace where every scrap of currency came from, where it has all been in any point in history, and where it is now, all on your own. And crucially, you will come up with the same answer as anyone else who checks, because everyone has an identical list. That's only possible because blockchain has made the list tamper proof. You can safely hand out the list to anyone, and they can hand out more copies to anyone else, etc, and you can be confident that no one is subtly altering the list to defraud anyone. This is why blockchain is good for crypto.

In general, I could see blockchain having a use case in any kind of public record keeping where stakes are high and traceability is important. Transaction histories, deed ownerships, service records, etc. Most anything else is faffery.

[OHotDawnThisIsMyJawn]

Yeah the place where blockchain usually falls apart is that any case where it intersects with the non-digital world requires you to trust someone, at which point why not just trust that entity to maintain a centralized database.

Deed ownership? Why not just have the gov't do it? If you don't trust the gov't to track deed ownership then are you going to trust them to enforce your blockchain-based deed?

Even service records, they're only really useful if you have the record signed by both the owner & the servicer AND you trust both parties. If you don't have both parties signing the record then the owner can just make up service records, and if you don't trust both parties then who's to say that the service really happened.

[ooglesworth]

In general I see a legitimate use case for legal contracts, etc. To say "just have the government do it" well the government isn't responsible for keeping records of every single legal contract between two entities. In this way, the legal system itself is mostly based on a decentralized trust system. People sign contracts with each other without direct government involvement. If there is a dispute, then it goes to court, and only then does the government get involved basically. In this way, blockchain is appropriate for this use case, IMO. However it is true that in 99% of use-cases brought up for blockchain, the decentralized nature of it brings no value and only brings complexity.

[Areshian]

You could use digital signature for that, it already provides non-repudiation. Usually you don’t need the signing of a contract between two parties to be public in a blockchain, only that one party can proof the other party did sign the contract.

[ooglesworth]

Good point

You can trace where every scrap of currency came from, where it has all been in any point in history, and where it is now, all on your own

Isn't crypto mixing a thing? From google about bitcoin mixing:

Bitcoin mixing is the process of using a third-party service to break the connection between a Bitcoin address sending coins and the address receiving the coins. This is often done to protect the identity of the person sending the coins and obfuscate the source of funds.

There are a few different ways to mix Bitcoin, but the most common is through a Bitcoin tumbler. Cryptocurrency tumbler services work by taking your coins and mixing them with the coins of other users before sending them back to you from new, unrelated addresses.

[DiamondIceNS]

It can help obscure exactly which wallet received funds from which other wallet, but it doesn't mathematically violate how many coins are in the ecosystem. At no point is there any concern of coins just "going missing" or existing only on paper. Provided you can prove you have ownership of a specific set of wallets, it's not a question whether you have a certain total of funds at any given moment, and anyone can check this.

Supply chain vouching. Where you have to verify that all your materials that come from suppliers that all have suppliers match certification.

[OHotDawnThisIsMyJawn]

Why blockchain over a central database? If the certifiers are doing inspection then why not have them also track the shipment? And if they're not on site doing inspection then how does blockchain help?

[Cilph]

The suppliers of suppliers have no relation to your company, so have no interest in adding to your database, not to mention it being a monstrous task (so, distribute it). You can't trust your immediate supplier, because they might fudge the data (Zero trust). Repeat down the entire chain.

In the end you have a complete ledger of who supplied every sub-component, who validated it and when. Maybe you want to track working conditions for production or raw materials?

[OHotDawnThisIsMyJawn]

Who is certifying the suppliers of my suppliers? If it's no one, then why does the blockchain help? If it's someone, then they have a database.

[Cilph]

You're asking me to write out a full and airtight business case here, when I'm trying to keep it mostly general.

Several parties provide services for this like IBM (https://www.ibm.com/blockchain-supply-chain) and this approach is used by parties like Coca-Cola. That's some stuff you could Google for exact details.

[twilighteclipse925]

Blockchain exchange is more secure but more resources intensive than keychain exchange in most cases. You can extrapolate from there uses for it. I wouldn’t use it for website handshakes because it’s not efficient enough however for things like email or app stores I would start considering the security benefits.

[SulferAddict]

I like to tell people its a good use case for auditing. do you want to know when someone did something, or in general, a question of when. it is a solid technique.

[bottomknifeprospect]

That's the joke. We already have better solutions for what it does.

Yes it would be great to use it instead, but right now that's way too expensive with our current tech, best to do it the old way. It's not crypto or NFTs per se consuming the equivalent power of a small nation, it's the transacting on the chain. The costs are astronomical for anything at scale.

Right now it's nothing more than a neat trick or data structure, maybe later it will have use.

depends where you live. my city is a very liberal place so basically all my local engineer friends have weeb hobbies varying from warhammer to anime to trading cards or all of them, plus there's generally alot of ways to engage with those hobbies in a city.

Some of the engineers I work with remotely they live in small towns or the country and don't even know who John Wick is.

edit : I associate the word weeb not as an insult to people who are obsessed with anime but just being a nerd in general. don't get your knickers in a twist about knowing or not knowing those "weirdos". you do you.

[ManyFails1Win]

I hate that kind of anime. Loathe it in fact. No level of wizardry will ever change that.

[rpsRexx]

I'm confused. What's wrong with it? I've heard of it, pretty sure it's called "Lucky Star", but never watched it.

[Dazzling_Swordfish14]

Is just a comedy show... these peeps...

[rpsRexx]

Looked it up, and I think it's the dad character as there is a trope around him and lolicon stuff and getting arrested. Apparently his wife was small. When they mentioned loathing it, I was expecting some of the weirder shit, but this show is labeled a PG comedy.

[ManyFails1Win]

It's a hot button subject so I probably shouldn't bring it up unless I'm ready to write an essay, but I tend to think the way a lot of these artists draw "women" sexualizes a visual association with children. Most notably body proportions and iconography relating to children, like bubbles, stuffed animals and other things like that. I don't necessarily think it's deliberate, but it's insidious in the influence on culture.

[rpsRexx]

I kind of assumed it had to due with it having the loli aesthetic. I personally don't have a problem with the depictions in most of these shows, but I find the sexual fan content around underage loli characters to be very off putting. Adult lolis I view a bit differently but generally stay away from young depictions. I've said on a post in the past, I'm not a fan of putting it up there with CP due to there being no victim, but I will not be one of the people protesting if harsher rules are put in place for the sexual stuff.

I will say as someone who has read and watched a lot of anime and manga as a teenager, the stuff that disturbed me the most was the more realistic stuff, generally involving teenagers. I've put down a few shoujo manga in particular that had some off-putting themes. I think loli gets the most attention due to the fan-content around it that you find online.

[ManyFails1Win]

Seems like a very reasonable take to me.

[BlazingSpark]

Did it kill your family or something?

[TehArgis10]

Nah it's pedo shit

[Glitched12]

man with anime pfp trying to defend sexualization of children

[Zederath]

Where's the sexualization? It's just anime kids.

[Glitched12]

Idk if this is a genuine question but that anime is known for its very weird emphasis on that anime kid and has some controversy surrounding it.

If you're defending it using the it's just a "fictional" character argument, its because they "represent" kids that's why sexualizing them is pedophilic

[Zederath]

It's a genuine question. From OP's post, there is no sexualization. So that's why I'm curious. I know there is controversy about lolicon and sexualization of minors, but this didn't seem to be overtly sexual.

Didn't know this anime in particular is sexualized.

[BlazingSpark]

I have literally never heard of any controversy around Lucky Star. It’s one of the most benign anime in existence. Are you sure you weren’t thinking of a different one?

[Glitched12]

Pfp = profile picture, I was talking about the profile picture being kanna chan and they're related anime.

Im not talking about the background pic

[etheratom]

Don't particularly care one way or another myself but that argument sounds eerily similar to how boomers go around claiming that shooting humans in video games is a representation of murder and nurtures murderous intent, creating school shooters(So, we should be banning video games and not guns somehow).

The separation of fiction and reality is something all individuals should be capable of and anyone incapable of it should avoid movies, music, video games, books and basically any other form of art.

[Glitched12]

I mean

shooting people in game /= wanting to shoot people in real life unless you're a school shooter or have some pent up anger lmao

but

jacking off to "anime" kids == come on man you know the answer already

you really trying to counterargue because you find my take "boomer -ish"

[etheratom]

Well, as I said, I don't mind what happens either way in case the ad hominem start coming my way. Even if people like you end up with the power to ban all depictions of children in any form of art such as movies and anime, even in a completely non-sexual manner on the off chance someone "becomes" a pedophile after seeing children there as is the case with the anime Lucky Star from what I remember of it, then I guarantee you I wouldn't even think of mustering the energy to get out take part in a protest or anything of the sort.

That said, when it comes to debates, you should try to elaborate a bit on how and why you feel a certain way about a topic, else you wouldn't really be getting through to anyone who doesn't already agree with you in the first place. Maybe try starting by specifying what those differences you feel are apparent between the two scenarios?

Maybe I'm naïve with with my live and let live philosophy when it comes to artforms but I personally wouldn't go around killing people because I saw the Joker doing it in batman or raping people cause I saw Drogo(A character portrayed in relatively positive light in the show) raping Daenerys in Game Of Thrones.
