I did that (distracting subtitles) on one of my videos and it had a very negative response. I won't do it again, but I was puzzled because I find it much nicer than the traditional…

I love the liquid glass look and have helped multiple non-techie people install the developer beta just because they were excited to experience "the frutiger aero update". (frutige…

I wrote a post about a highly related topic here. It may be helpful to you in understanding the parent comment: https://chadnauseam.com/coding/random/how-side-effects-work-...

I think you're right. I produced a small rust program to test it by iterating over all 32-bit floats: https://gist.github.com/anchpop/30f119efd8d4c29a6a99202d57a5... Output: Count …

Who lost? Everyone who got laid off wouldn't have had at a job at all if they weren't hired, and they probably got severance packages for more than the average American makes in a …

On Ethereum you can you decentralized tumblers like Tornado Cash

ZK rollups are not anywhere near 14 years old

They shouldn't even all be on the same computer. Ideally they would be engraved in titanium and inside people's safe deposit boxes

In this case, the weakness was that the keys that controlled the bridge were somehow stored insecurely. When attackers gained access to the keys, they were able to steal from the b…

Right. It's possible to conceive of a rollup, particularly a zk-rollup, without anything like a master key. But current rollups do have those keys. ZK-sync for example has two, one…

Right now they're immature, but I'm hopeful that advancements in ZK-tech will allow practical ZK-rollups. ZKSync already has a zk-evm testnet running (which I believe is based on z…

what kind of volume does tornado.cash process? If it normally processes e.g. $1M/day, it'd take a while to use it as a mixer right?

I’m curious about handshake vs ens. The thing I like about ens is that it’s on ethereum which should make it harder to 51% than handshake (which is a relatively small PoW chain iir…

True. It made me feel like microanalyzing one of their comments. Here goes: On: > What I couldn’t find was a sober, dispassionate explanation of what crypto actually is — how it wo…

Thanks! I was accidentally pushing garbage to my IPNS name. It should be resolved now.

Yeah! That's why I'm excited for the effect system to land in OCaml. In general I think effect systems are more user friendly than monads and it makes the choice of how to handle t…

> big, untrue, statements saying the real web is "centralized" Well, it's not completely centralized, but it's more centralized than using IPFS for the backend and ENS for the name…

I'm a professional OCaml developer, so I definitely know and agree with you :p I still think Haskell is "more FP" than OCaml because it allows equational reasoning in more cases. I…

In theory you're right, but in this specific case they really are the same - the compiler has an optimization pass called "common subexpression elimination" that converts the secon…

As a widget maker, I'm pro widget-users even though I technically have an adversarial relationship with them. In particular, I'm pro widget-users because without them I would be wi…
