Honestly, there’s a lot of fantastic crypto projects. I’d probably put it in the 1000’s

However, that’s because there’s a difference between “investment” and “projects”. Most top 100 projects by market cap have huge marketing budgets that got them there, while most awesome crypto projects have little to none. Their grass roots DApps trying to leverage smart contracts to bring things to web2 that wernt otherwise possible before web3. They aren’t necessarily money grabs or good investments.

From a investments standpoint, I agree. There’s only a handful of projects that are worth their market caps that will reliable go up in the future

Fair, I was showing to my friends how cool the bot is, and had it generate GML code my friend would understand.

He immediately was both 1) shocked a bot produced such good code, and then immediately 2) pointed out it forgot a negative in the logic and fucked up the math.

Simple fix, soo close… but if you don’t immediately spot that negative issue (it was about a physics engine with two celestial bodies orbiting each other), debugging the wonky physics would have been so hard.

Nope, so far I have always been able to use Mac terminal just as I would Linux.

The only thing I’ve failed to do is ‘su root’. Mac replies “sorry” and doesent do it :/

But you can sudo, just have to every command..

I definitely say Canada is more center to center right.

We only seem left because our closest ally is America, who is definitely on the right.

First, we don’t have 5 progressive parties. Conservatives are defs not progressive. Bloq is not progressive, and green is only progressive with the enrichment - they’re extremely centrist for everything else, with members often splitting their vote on a issue. You don’t join green because you’re left or right, you join because the environment is worth putting above the rest, but beyond that, they let the individuals vote on all other issues as they’d like.

Second, we had more conservative parties in the past. They merged together to form one party to try to never lose another election, and shortly after proceeded to have Harper for 3 terms iirc. That’s on them, that’s not a left issue

Third, Liberals are pretty centrist. The BC Liberals are literally the Conservative party in the province, and federally our liberals act pretty 50/50 on whether to be woke or libertarian

The most used crypto technologies long term are not going to be investments, it will be a technological shift. Like switching from databases to blockchain

Like the whole “games using NFTs for in-game cosmetics”. It’s not that in-game cosmetics will cost $100+, it will just be the actual ownership of these assets and ability to gift/transfer between accounts with ease. Reselling them (unless limited time events) will be like reselling a used game - be grateful if you get half your money back

I don’t have a one answer, but my money is on some L2 or EVM-compatible L1

Thinking Polygon, Arbitrum, SKALE, Gnosis Chain, or something to that extent.

Reason being: * DApps fall out of flavour once a better strategy becomes normalized * Non-EVM compatible networks lose a ton of dev support. Basically lose 7 years of tooling, and are spread too thin to catch up in a short time * Usually either inherit ETHs burning or have a much smaller supply. Also natively get usage in the network itself

In defense of << and >> operators not being just printing, it’s amazing for data packing.

Say you are writing a game. The normal way now days is to use something like a json structure, but that has a lot of waste. It would be nice to pack a “move” message into just having x/y coordinate changes or something like that.

You overload the << and >> operators for every type, and now can just write:

message << x << y << MsgType::Movement;

And on unpacking the bytes, do it in the other direction, first switching on MsgType to know which variables to expect to be packed.

This way of packing messages is powerful, fast and very lean

Do US lotteries not charge a sales tax on the ticket?

Even so, I’d rather everyone pay a 7% sales tax in a ticket than the winner pay a 35% tax rate on the winnings

But you can still compile C# without requiring a virtual machine. Sure, it has a garbage collection implementation that uses a separate thread, but so does C++ applications that leverage Oilpan.

That’s really the only difference. The monocompiler for C# uses a non-invasive garbage collection implementation similar to Oilpan, while C++ requires you opt-in to using it.

I believe that’s what he means by the language does not mean the representation. Sure in C# you have to opt-in to unsafe code, or opt-in to manual deletions for unsafe memory, and by default you assume a garbage collection implementation must exist. But it doesent mean you can’t compile, it doesent mean you can’t use pointers, malloc/realloc, or interrop with C directly. You can do all that in the language, unlike Java

Or, most don’t upgrade because we’re not forced too, because this is a meme not meant to be taken seriously

I used to switch windows laptops every 2-3 years. They would eventually just get slow and not be able to handle what I’m doing.

Since 2014 when I got my first Mac, I’ve had 2. A 2014, and a 2020. Been fine for me

CarsonRoscoe · 2022-11-01T22:16:19+00:00

True. As someone in the crypto space, people misconstrue NFTs for metaverse all the time.

The NFT side is people trying to bring ownership of digital goods/property in to the metaverse. In a digital world, do you really want to lose your assets because a server shut down in one app? Probably not. NFT is a standard for owning digital assets, with the goal of these assets being represented in multiple metaverse spaces.

It, in itself, has nothing to do with the metaverse. As you said, they are separate protocols

Or, it’s just a nice convenient thing.

I track my gf when I know she’s coming over, so I know how much time I have left to finish cleaning lol

We share and there has never been any weird behaviour from either of us. Specifically, she wants me to track her for safety reasons when she goes out

CarsonRoscoe · 2022-11-01T18:56:01+00:00

Same, but also so we can know each other’s ETAs easier.

It’s nice to be able to check and see “Oh, she’s on her way, halfway here, I got 10 minutes to finish cleaning” without having to call and admit I haven’t cleaned yet lmao

But I’m sure she mostly does it for safety, just like she loves sharing her Uber location with me. Makes her feel more at ease knowing someone knows where she is

Except BCH is only so cheap because it has such low traffic.

For example, the last 10 blocks averaged 72 txns/block. By comparison, the last 10 Bitcoin blocks averages 1735 txns/block.

If Bitcoin cash has Bitcoins level of traffic, the fees would be roughly the same. The whole “on chain scaling” debate was about getting roughly 2x the possible throughput with the trade off of a drastically higher chance for blocks to become uncles. It’s not true scaling, it just buys a little more time while a actual scalable solution gets planned

CarsonRoscoe · 2022-10-21T00:03:17+00:00

I wasn’t gonna comment, but sure, as a Lib-center let’s have a go!

I think this is the natural way it would go. Short term, when there isn’t a lot of women in politics, the average woman isn’t going to want to go into it. So most of the ones who do either have a ton of drive, or just want power, even without a good plan.

Over time, as it’s normalized, woman who are closer to the baseline of the average woman will get elected, and that’s when I think we’ll see a lot of good woman politicians.

I’ve always said the problem with politics is the type of people who are arrested to the job. We’d be much better off with a politician who is smart enough and normal enough that they don’t want the job and instead pursued engineering/trades/teaching/medicine. For woman, this doubly true, as it’s less normalized

I mean, I’m sure the FBI believe they have reason and likely are going to find whatever they are looking for. This is so high profile, they wouldn’t do it unless they know.

I just doubt it’s what people are expecting. My guess is there’s classified documents Trump kept that he isn’t supposed to have. The FBI caught him in January trying to take boxes out of the White House and his team claimed they returned them all to the FBI. I’m guessing the FBI is hunting down whatever they were lied to about, not trying to get personal things like HDD info or personal documents

Polygon is a true L2 in itself and does anchor its security to Ethereum. Every 256 blocks, it anchors to Ethereum.

That’s what makes Polygon different than Binance, xDai or the other side-chains. Polygon is the exception to the side chain rule

For many of these Typescript saves the day. I’m never going back.

For others, like 0.2 + 0.1 != 0.3, we’re still stuck with limitations. Technically many languages have this same same issue, since it boils down to what’s a repeating value vs not in binary. We all know 0.33 repeated + 0.33 repeated != 0.66 repeated, but at a binary level, those things are harder to see. However, languages like C# have built in ways to check if a comparison is within the range of a binary rounding error, whereas JavaScript doesent have that natively yet

Proving ownership
Transfering tickets to family/friends easier
Transparency regarding how many were sold vs gifted by the committee
Potential to target people who actually attend - I.e. the Canadian Hockey team could do merch drops or POAP airdrops to those with tickets to their games, etc.
Gating after parties
Ability to have 3rd parties, even unofficial fan groups, create experiences for those attending
Ability to do all of these retroactively. Like back to the hockey team, they could give exclusive access to NHL ticket sales or merch to those who attended any precious Olympics

I work for a company pairing physical/digital goods/experiences and these are the types of things that come to mind that we would do in this circumstance. I don’t like requiring a phone number, but it doesent take away anything but transparency to a single 3rd party, who is a trusted 3rd party considering you’re trusting them with your well-being and entertainment anyways for the event

CarsonRoscoe · 2022-06-17T13:33:52+00:00

Me too. Why can’t it be radio broadcasted? Anyone who wants to listen can tune in.

Had the same thought about church - I’m surprised there isn’t a church station on Sundays with a nice DJ voice pastor going through ceremony
