nol13

but my currency runs on eth!

nolCoin is an experimental crypto-currency where anyone can make as many as they want for free (plus gas) but only in amounts of a maximum 255 at a time. then when total coins reach uint256 max no more can be made.

implemented as standard erc20 token, plus a make(address, amount) function you can use to create coins!

get yours now! -> 0xa698933897Cc176cbA5C0C31e7fF4bB5Cd3A9aE4

Re:State of React Native 2018 on Friday June 15, 2018 @08:46PM (#17325032)
Well, I see there's at least been some action on the TextInput regressions that were keeping us on fork! <3

Not that running a patched version is necessarily a huge deal, but it's nice to have that 'this random code is approved by someone that actively works on the codebase' stamp.

(well, still might be on 0.55.3 for the version if NetInfo we can work around, but I do appreciate the project, warts and all)

Been actively wondering if there would be enough interest/momentum for a community LTS fork.

Love RN, and the daunting vastness of the surface area not lost on me, but would be totally ok with me if development stalled for 6 months of purely bug-fix releases. Maybe I'd sound differently if I cared about integration with native apps.

"you can buy a small and cheap USB C to DisplayPort adapter with power passthrough (< 20 USD)"

*may destroy motherboard

People (me) were just mad because seemingly in the blink of an eye they went from having a stable mature linux desktop, sometimes even approaching "it just works," to having that ripped away and replaced with a choice between [radical new desktop] or xfce. Unity or GNOME Shell might really be great, but that's a huge change to force on unsuspecting neckbeards.

Wish Canonical would have just created MATE themselves.

Not even a viable option.

Also obesity is bad for you.

Or just assume China will fix its air in 10 years while Americans (and Chinese) keep getting fatter? Lotta ways you can work these numbers!

No, really. even though free accounts ending. Actually not even sure if you can sign up at the moment. Has basically 'just worked' for years though, hopefully they stay in business. :/

"The margins on it all are what really piss me off."

Not that it's your problem as a consumer, but factor in that your ticket price pretty much all goes to the studio. (correct?) And getting $8.50 for the large which costs $0.14 better than getting $8.00 for small which costs $0.12

Yup. I might read one section over a few times before moving on, and/or spend way less time in others. Reading I go at the pace I can digest it, not the pace of the lecturer.
Internet's been all downhill since Westwood Chat got shutdown.
Entangled particles just share the same ref, distance is a function of lookup complexity.

This makes sense right? right?!?

Sweet, ty! Staring at what was starting to look like a much larger python script than I'd anticipated, then realizing I could do it in 16 lines of (very basic) bash with csvfix + csvcut/sed/iconv was big day for me! Some of my fav code never written I think. Actually had most those files copied locally because was afraid the bytehost link would disappear.

That said, link to the manual in the bitbucket link not working.

csvfix, prob some overlap, but i've found this one invaluable.

Re:Making the Touch Bar useful by abandoning Apple guidelines on Wednesday April 04, 2018 @10:59PM (#16761420)
Ya the touchbar stupid, that track pad tho.. only laptop i've ever been totally fine using without a mouse. Hard to go back to other laptops after using that.

Plus the touchbar, though stupid and useless, does at least succeed in making all the other laptops look old and crappy now.
