Devs still have to build blockchain functionality. Which one of the hundreds if blockchains?

And devs still have to build things like "ownership of item changed, reflect it in the game", "this guy is a member if a clan in game X, so has to be member of clan X(?) in this game" etc.

The hand-wavy way crypto proponents approach this is maddening.

I find your comment a bit sensational. They included 4.9% of chargers having short cables and therefore rounded 27.6% up to 33%.

Though I agree that they should not use the term "dud" to refer to chargers that are technically working but non-functional due to a design flaw (cable length). Though of course even 27.6 should round to 25% before it rounds to 33%...
Trading game assets is a billion dollar industry in web2. CS:go skins, robux, etc.

By building on blockchain, you can save work building trading systems and enable cross-pollination (Take advantage of all the tools and bridges because of composeability).

It means they are not complex. Honestly, none of the DeFi projects are (it's flash loans and currency speculation across the board).

And none of them are banks.
Not many comments about giving here bar a nice one about someone giving their grandparents a holiday. Some highlights for me were buying a football kit for a kids soccer team in Cambodia and supporting some water well digging projects in Africa.
It already exists in the form of silent flashing blue lights. Anyone who hasn't already seen these lights approaching will usually panic when they suddenly hear a loud siren and become more of an obstacle than if they just carried on moving forward as normal.

I see this scenario played out every weekend when I visit a friend who lives near a busy intersection of two major routes. Emergency vehicles impede their own progress nearly every time by deploying sirens.

There's a difference between an upstream release cadence and a distributions update interval.

Ie, You don't check what the latest version of the kernel is, you trust your distribution to package a version and apply relevant patches.

This is the main purpose of a Linux distribution, to take away the stress of tracking every project it uses.
I like his points on active reading of research paper. In my seminar we always had to ask critical question when we were reading.

I also believe there is two way to read a paper. One way is to be critical (normal case). This is necessary if we want to learn something.

Another way is to pretend the author is correct, and try to implement things as quick as possible (applying research approach). The reason is to establish a small "framework" to start our research for ourselves or a baseline. After that we can be critical about the authors work.

For active reading we were taught to go through abstract, results and conclusion. In case of graphics paper that uses ML, we can immediately notice artifacts, inconsistency and minor disturbances. Then, we can be critical on their method, on their claim and reason why things are that way!

Will you guys ever produce a "wide screen" version of your laptop? If so, you have another customer.
or, you can buy a trading card for a game that embraces blockchain and decentralization. the media which is a PNG and JSON can be stored in ipfs , p2p hosted, and licensed with CC0.

this is a niche .. but you can imagine some communities and players might enjoy owning assets that are not tied to a game company. the company can fold and the game go under, and the asset can still be repurposed for another game, or held as a collectible like we do physical trading cards and stamps.

a probably simpler use case for blockchain in gaming is for a simple payment API and market mechanism .. easier to spin up a smart contract and escape payment processor fees and the ridiculous take-rates of Steam and Apple in-app purchases.
Gnu M4 manual works well, while for TeX there's the Gentle Introduction.

Prints and NFTs are very different. You will very rarely be able to print it yourself because high quality copies will not be available to you. You also wouldn’t expect a print to have resale value. You are buying it because it looks nice on your wall. Not as an investment.

NFTs are still a load of crap. Im glad some artists found a way to make money off them, but that doesn’t make them any less of a scam.
I find your comment quite arrogant, there was really no need to call out the parent poster’s knowledge, especially when he/she only gave some counterexamples.

Also, modern C++’s move/copy semantics are exactly what Rust enforces at a language level, instead of only making it a “suggestion”.
> Devs still have to build blockchain functionality. Which one of the hundreds if blockchains?

No, you can bridge NFTs between chains.

It's a solved problem.

> devs still have to build things like "ownership of item changed, reflect it in the game

No. They should query chain data directly. They need to setup an indexer and route any query through it.

You can attach attributes and state to NFT which can be replicated automatically between chains when someone bridges.
There was massive resistance against seatbelts when they were introduced. Maybe sometimes the government does know better than those actually affected.

Are there any examples of web3 projects that solve a problem or have features that would not be possible otherwise?

They also lag the life expectancy curve by about 10 years. There are a lot of factors at play obviously, but the universal trend is richer countries have better medical care, education, and more complete diets.
Only you have the print in your position. An NFT is like buying a ticket which gives a deed of ownership to a specific print of a specific book. The book itself is available in public for anyone to read for as long as the original seller cares to look after it.
I stopped paying too much attention to NFT image arguments and started looking at blockchain technologies. Things like Arweave, IPFS, EPNS. These are very interesting projects that I started some draft blog posts about.

Also, I do think people are graduating from owning an “image” to seeing them as tickets to something greater.

I was a web3 skeptic. You can probably see it in my comment history. However, I really wanted to understand it more and focusing on infrastructure parts that get less media attention is where I’m finding my home. Call it web3, distributed, p2p… whatever. There is some really cool stuff being built that solves things in a novel (to me ) way. I wish more engineers were looking into this from a purely intriguing set of engineering examples.
It can't be DRY and modular with CDKTF though - you can't really put components into Go modules, for example, so, you still get a monolithic codebase unless you use Go as glue code and put all the IaC in Terraform modules. I think Pulumi is better in that regard and those who don't want to use a programming language can use the new Pulumi YAML.

I do use CDKTF where Terraform lacks: dynamic providers and dynamic resource names. For anything else, modular Terraform code does that and does it better, and it's more readable and works with the existing Terraform ecosystem of Terraform Cloud, linters, security scanners, drift detectors, etc.
Yes, there will likely always need to be some work done on the dev side to enable any of those use cases. A lot of the tools/services to enable these and other uses are either being built or haven’t even been started yet, so for the moment the level of effort from individual teams is higher than it could be.
This probably needs more specifics to be acutely actionable, for example further details could turn up in the author's inbox from an anonymous (eg protonmail) address. Given that at the author's level of specialization the world shrinks somewhat it shouldn't be too hard to verify the information and dismiss duplicate messages/red herrings, and then proactively alert other employees facing the same filtering about what's going on.
I am trying not to be an 10x developer. I try to stay around whatever the number of story points is considered ok for my team. If if finish something in 2 hours instead of 5, that means I have more time to do other things. Try new approaches, make proof of concepts for myself, read something interesting, browse the web.

If I'd try to work as fast as possible, I feel I would burn out fast.

My advice would be to either get slower with the work (do only what needs to be done) and do other things in the time remaining or switch jobs for one that pays accordingly to the work you are capable of doing, open your own company.

What a boring, nonsense take.
A print, especially a classic gelatin silver B&W or c-print, is something the artist has ostensibly personally labored over. It is as much a product of their craft as the original source material was, whether that was a negative, positive, digital image, or PSD file.

NFTs...eh, not so much.
Yeah, it’s what I was told by a member of the verification team last year (as long as everything is clientside, you can bypass the audit). Before you build anything you should request the restricted scopes in Google’s Cloud Console as if the feature is already built, to kick off the verification process. Then you can ask a human for clarification (IIRC the exemption isn’t mentioned in the FAQ). Assuming it’s okay, you can then build the feature and resubmit your request. Best of luck!
When I was using Macbooks (the last time was around 2016-2017), I never deliberately used all the features of it, so I really don't know what is the fuss about it. I think they introduced things like 2-finger scrolling, which is really nice and ended up elsewhere. It makes using casual use a little easier, which causes me to still use it sometimes. (but I am getting used to using the TrackPoint for casual things too because the amount of control you have over things like scroll speed). My wife has a 2015 Macbook and the "click" sensor seems to have a problem. She got used to it though. But "clicking" is an option that can be turned off. However, when I use it, it is such a complete nuisance to use.

There's no need for a blockchain within one game.

Blockchain, NFTs, and all related ideas are about sharing data between untrusted parties without a central authority. If you're in a single game there is automatically an authority.

I'll be generous and suggest that World of Crypto is being built by some devs who are using NFTs as a hustle because they're trendy. There's nothing wrong with that. That's how you sell things in fashion. But it could easily be a rugpull scam...
This. “The cemeteries of the world are full of indispensable men.”
I'm surprised that this is not already a thing. I believe (while anectodal at this point, I'd bet science would find something if this eas tested) noise pollution and light pollution have many adverse effects on humans and animals. Good to see there are laws emerging around this.

I can play that game too. Are you going to solve hunger by conjuring more great plains and have the cows graze there?

Because that's the point I'm making. Grass fed beef cannot scale up beyond current production to solve hunger.
Loaning items sounds like at most a weeks worth of work. Building in blockchain technology sounds like months worth of work.

All of this works better and faster on a normal database. All of the additional features marketed are just the removal of intentional restrictions by the developers. Why would the developers want to give up this power and if they did, they could do it without blockchains.
Couldn't this be addressed best by driving the heat on green energy and directly siphoning off the produced CO2 into either underground capture or even green fuels?

I'm still a bit at loss why Climeworks or Prometheus Fuels would pump ginormous amounts of normal air through their respective setups to extract the 0,0004% of CO2 instead of feeding from pure CO2 by industrial processes like this one.

It seems like an easy win on the low hanging fruit to me, and I think there's work on making that practical from Noya Labs: https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/24/noya-labs-turns-cooling-to...

Too late, added to my want to read list :P
artist prints are routinely forged and resold. this is such a problem in high end artists work like Hirst that they must find complex ways to certify and authenticate their signed prints. sometimes this is with holographic stickers, or separate certificates of authenticity, or even non NFT blockchain certification.

most signed prints are not bought because of what the content is, but because of the signature. you can buy unsigned prints of many notable artists work for 20 bucks while the same signed version sells at sothebys for thousands.

users should not expect NFT to have any more or less resale value than a signed print. but because there is currently a market for it, it is easier to sell a token than a print. in future this may change if tokens are as commonly distributed and purchased as prints are.

I find your comment a bit sensational. You both arrived at the same percentage.
> PrintScreen between right Alt and right Ctrl: very important too

Please don't. Unless you want users of language layouts that make use AltGr to suffer.

Imagine typing away a message, accidentally slipping your finger from AltGr onto the PrintScr (actually SysRq), and triggering a sysrq reboot in linux. Regularly.

It's a choice between triggering crashes _all the time_, or disabling sysrq and never being able to debug the legit ones.
People have experienced 10 years of scams, overhyped lies, questionable claims, environmental destruction on enormous scale and general bullshit.

I only used them on Thinkpads ... I can't imagine how they would work on HPs or Dells. And specifically, on older ThinkPads. I am typing on a T430s, but also have a x220 and a T470p. The latter feels a bit different, but I had to initially get used to it. For thinkpads at least, I definitely not have had a problem finding a proper acceleration curve.
Much cheaper than getting an original CS80 ;-)

The CS80 was decades ahead of it's time. I love playing with CS-80v, but I need a keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch to do it justice, and the Ensoniq models are now way too pricey. Wish I'd bought one 10 years ago when they were unpopular, available, weird and cheap.
Not an expert here, but my layman's understanding is that as it is a disease that attacks the immune system the bodies ability to fight off each new generation is gradually diminished until eventually it is not able to fight off the new mutations any more.
I just put //TODO:<my initials> and don't see a linter for it adding anything really. I don't think I've ever checked in that way, because I read all my code right before I check in, but maybe this is a difference in workflow (I've mostly used p4; I can see a git workflow that involves lots of local commits being different.)
I sometimes wonder if they get that there's no "THE blockchain".

I mean, an NFT would tend to exist on a particular blockchain. If that blockchain forks (e.g., [as Bitcoin's done a number of times](https://www.investopedia.com/tech/history-bitcoin-hard-forks... )), then it's not unique, but rather exists multiple times -- potentially with different copies being owned by different folks. Plus folks could create duplicate NFT's of the same (by simply minting new ones), presumably on the same blockchain or/and others. And then, if an NFT is reliant on external-resources (like links to a host-server), as I've heard that most are, then presumably those could break and even if someone continues to "own" an NFT on some particular blockchain, the NFT itself would seem decontextualized and essentially meaningless.

Then, durability isn't ensured even on a continuous blockchain, as blockchains can elect to remove stuff (e.g., through forks or filter-protocols). Presumably blockchains would ultimately want to truncate historical stuff; it'd seem strange to assume that an NFT would necessarily be carried through such a process.

Then there's the non-optimality of primitive blockchains. This is, when there're innovations, we'd presumably expect folks to create new blockchains that may displace older ones, retiring prior-NFT's in the process.

Then if we're talking long-term, historic value, then we'd probably consider stuff like advances in cryptography mooting the original signatures, and just generally how ancient blockchains would seem to be of little interest to those in the future. Plus, I'd imagine that advanced AI artists would render the concept of trivial art being in any way non-arbitrary obsolete.

Long rant short, it's just weird to hear non-technical folks seemingly believing that blockchains confer "uniqueness" outside of more limited, subjective contexts.

Yeah, in fact dtrace’s pid provider (http://dtrace.org/blogs/brendan/2011/02/09/dtrace-pid-provid...) can log all function calls in user-space processes—and it doesn’t require recompilation or special flags (it patches the code at runtime).

most artists will hire professional printmakers and printers. just because a photographer is good at shooting does not mean they are good in the dark room.

when we talk about editioned prints, most of the effort is not in the print. a screen print takes a couple hours to make, an Epson print is a click of the button. but the work being printed might have been built from years of practice as an artist.
This is frankly ridiculous. The interviewed dev complains that web3 makes everything pay to play. If anything, web3 makes it explicit that the internet has become a place that is purely pay to play. Just today you pay with your data and you don’t know the prices.
Should be an ideal to strive towards, truthfully.
That’s what I love about living in the Netherlands. Walking around isn’t ruined by cars because there aren’t any cars allowed in most of the city. If you want to go somewhere in the city, you walk or bike. I walk pretty much everywhere within 2-5km and bike or drive beyond that. It’s usually a pleasant walk, especially this time of year with the flowers blooming.

When visiting the states, I’ve often found it dangerous to walk anywhere. Even just half a mile to the grocery store will involve walking on some high speed road with barely a sidewalk, half-abandoned acres of parking lots, and people driving who have zero respect for people walking.
I can confirm that MathJax is very slow, especially if you render complex math including graphs (all in view). The Google Lighthouse Benchmark gave me a very bad performance score, but as soon as I switched to Katex my statically rendered blog gets 95-100 points for performance.
