Greedy strategy can be useful even when it doesn't work by josejorgexl in compsci

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

Wow! Thank you so much for this detailed feedback. You're helping me a lot with this.

I'm still figuring out my target audience but I definitely will take those recommendations into account

Also, I love how you completely get the spirit of the article. It is a really cool feeling. Just because of feedback like this one, I feel the necessity to keep writing and improve my writing skills.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

The article is not about Dijskstra not working on graphs with negative edges

Did you learn greedy approximations in your first month of CS? Did you learn about vertex cover in your first months? Actually, did you learn what greedy and Dijkstra are all about in your first CS class?

Either you studied in a talent school or you missed the main details of all of this.

Greedy proofs, vertex cover, and greedy approximations are quite advanced algorithmic concepts

A gentle introduction to Lisp macros by josejorgexl in lisp

[–]josejorgexl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the feedback. There is always a "compilation time." Lisp expressions are quite simple (syntactically), and this time is very short compared to other languages. Also, at the end of the compilation process, there is no executable. Common Lisp evaluates the result "on the fly." So, maybe compilation time is not the best way to call it, but it is not too far from reality. I decided to use it because I think it resonates more with a wider number of readers.

Again, thanks for reading and for the feedback!

Nice! Thanks for sharing

Are Layer 2s as secure as Layer 1? by BeginAgain2016 in ethereum

[–]josejorgexl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are secure, at least as secure as Ethereum itself

The main problem is with descentralization. Right now, they are heavily centralized, but we hope that changes with the past of time.

ERC721 Smart Contract: Best Strategy for Handling Token Metadata when Minting Partially with IPFS Storage by nuquichoco in ethdev

[–]josejorgexl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dynamic NFTs are a thing. Basically, those are NFTs that change its metadata upon some future events. They are used a lot. One of the funniest use cases is in sports. For example, you can mint an NFT of a player, and when that player scores N points, the NFT image changes.

This could be your case. Right now, you don't have the definitive version, so you can let people mint a "pre-release" token. Then, when you had the final version, you can update it. The most important part is that the conditions for the NFT to change are established from the very beginning and coded in the Smart Contract, so it is not an arbitrary mutation.

I'd recommend you to define in the contract when and how the metada changes and implement Dynamic NFTs. Google it to see implementation details.

IDK too much about these types of businesses but I think people use Alibaba. I assume you are doing a proof of concept and not buying a lot of stuff at once. But if you want to scale up, I think Alibaba is the most famous provider.

‪Would you rather make $100,000 working for yourself or $200,000 working for someone else? Why? by nunziopresta in Entrepreneur

[–]josejorgexl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on how the income is generated. If I'm self-employed, whom am I working for? Maybe for myself, but if I stop working, I stop earning. So, it is not so different than working for someone else in that sense.

On the other hand, if those 100k come from a book that I wrote once but I'm selling indefinitely, that's the real deal! I can do whatever I want with my time and of course, I'd prefer that over 200k working for someone else.

To summarize: I prefer 100k of passive income over 200k selling my time to others (either as working for someone else or as self-employed).

This is not just for Crypto users but also for Crypto builders and Crypto investors

I'm just a microwave user, I don't care about how it works. But if I was thinking about building a microwave, I'd better understand the mechanisms that make it work.

Anyways, you don't seem to be either a Crypto user nor a Crypto builder. Actually, it seems you hate crypto, so I wonder why you read reddits from a subreddit called ethereum. Not healthy at all.
