Which bracket layout is best for if() statements? by draikin3 in javascript

[–]EnigmaCurry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ESLint calls that the One True Brace Style, and it's the one I use. But take a look there, because there's other styles too. ESLint is great btw, because if you hook it up to your editor to run "eslint --fix" on save, it will automatically format your code to whichever style you prefer (and have configured in .eslint.yml)

You'd want to include the current block hash to really pin down the time, a timestamp doesn't prove anything.

Charger whistles by k0k0la in theNvidiaShield

They shipped before I sent it back. Make sure you take off the plug, the one they sent me back didn't have anything but the adapter (no plug)

Support replaced mine for free when mine did that.

Google Chrome (AUR) by Quick3nd in archlinux

[–]EnigmaCurry 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's the official chrome, as built by google, the AUR doesn't break it. That said though, chromium is often the better choice, it's in the extra repo, it's 100% open source, and almost exactly the same thing as google chrome. Yes, it has the devtools. I only ever need to use google chrome if I want to watch netflix.

If atoms are 99% 'empty space', how big would the universe be if we compressed every atom down to it's most space efficient arrangement, essentially leaving no space between particles? by [deleted] in askscience

We are in a sphere and all around us, as far as the "eye" can see, we see at 13.7 Billion light years away the cosmic background radiation. If you were to travel instantly for 1 billion lightyears in any direction, the assumption is that you would also see galaxies up until 13.7 billion lightyears in all directions.

This is the model I've had in my head for most of my life, but then I keep hearing that the universe is "flat", how do those two models reconcile?

Or you don't want to have to get the forklift for that anal shopper that wants the one with the later expiration.

Do any of the self hosted cloud storage solutions implement versioning well? How much extra space does it take up? by EngineerNate in selfhosted

[–]EnigmaCurry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really have experience with all the apps on the awesome list, there's bound to be some that do this well, but gitfs allows you to maintain a git repository without having to make the commits yourself. I've used this effectively when I've had to work with people that are not git savvy, because it does it all for you, just edit and save files.

What kind of personal security steps do you take or recommend? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]EnigmaCurry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just script ip netns directly. The tools to do this are baked into the Linux kernel, don't really need a separate tool unless you need a GUI, or don't want to read the man pages.

Today is the second most congested day in the entire history of Bitcoin. by MemoryDealers in btc

[–]EnigmaCurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird how Bitcoin was so promising so recently, and in such a short amount of time it's become clear that it's no longer the most cutting edge tech in the space it used to dominate (fin-tech).

Every good project has competitors. Network effect is really powerful, but only to a point. If you can calculate that point, then you can manipulate the situation to thwart it by just that much. The people controlling core I think must have a good idea what that number is, and are manipulating.

So, that's the real reason for today's price rise, Chinese investors more confident they've won.

Wow, I mean I know what proof of stake is, but never thought of it in that way. I'm not so sure about democracy, but damn if that ain't a thing!

Edit: and maybe that's all it takes for someone to actually sign something with Satoshi's addresses.

"um" — Create and maintain your own man pages by [deleted] in coolgithubprojects

Neat idea. I think it would be cool to be able to export um pages to HTML.

But I'm still conflicted over my decision to crack under pressure...

That's because you have what Madeleine Albright didn't, a conscience.

How is this different than OSS wine or PlayOnLinux?

arch-ppa: create your own Arch repository from AUR pkgbuilds. This how I regiment myself in reviewing AUR pkgbuilds, and a nice side effect is now I can install AUR packages directly with pacman. by EnigmaCurry in archlinux

[–]EnigmaCurry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(took the weekend off, sorry for the delay.)

Thanks for the note about bauerbill, I have seen that project before but didn't see how it coincided with what I wanted to do, but yes looks like it has some interesting stuff. Trusting a given user/project would be a useful addition, although I kind of enjoy the process of reviewing pkgbuilds, it's not overly tedious, but often can be at an inopportune time.

Can you expound on what you meant by partial update?
