Surprised that nobody has taken the effort to explain "how" this is happening.
The article talks about flaws in DEX design, opening the risk of front running. What's happening is that DEXs work on chain, therefore orders are submitted on chain and thus visible in the mempool while waiting for miners to include it in a block. Front runners view these pending orders and then submit a similar order (but with a higher gas fee), thus incentivizing miners to take their Ethereum transaction instead of the earlier order (for higher fees).
While the article in question is correct with regards to what I explained above, I hate how generalizing it is. Not all DEXs are designed the same way. The first generation of DEXs did everything on chain which also has the downside of limited throughput (limited by blockchain transactions per second). The next generation DEXs are working to solve this with off chain solutions which would also solve the front running problem.
If you're having 1:1s each fortnight, you probably won't even need 30mins. In practice, schedule for 30mins but in reality it rarely takes that much time so don't fret about losing so much time.
It's hard to avoid. My project has a firebaseConfig.js.sample file committed as a reminder to the deployer, they need to create their own. And I put firebaseConfig.js into .gitignore in case a developer is careless.
Do you value the medium or the content? I can't see why you think 'digital self-publishing' is a bad thing.
If anything, digital publishing where you can circumvent the publishers should allow for more content to reach market (not saying it's all good...see geocities webpages as an example of this) but I'm not sure why you think this would be bad for the Chinese SciFi scene.
Would it shock you to find out that Cobol developers make almost as much as Java developers? And I'm pretty sure they don't need to constantly learn a new version of the language every few years.
But seriously... A recent job hunt has made me aware of how crummy companies are and how management roles are under-appreciated; so I've been spending a lot of effort on updating my developer skills as it seems most companies expect you to do everything nowadays.
Same here. Started off by trying to pick up React. Found React to be really complicated for a non-JS developer (I've done mostly server-side stuff). Someone suggested I try VueJS, tried it and had a much easier time.
Slightly OT but which development laptop has best keyboard? I can't stand my circa 2012 rMBP keyboard (and the newer ones are even worse). I'm guessing a Thinkpad?? But I can't find one with good battery, screen and weight.
It always puzzles me when people point out that cryptocurrencies are used for illegal activities.
Cyptocurrencies were not designed to facilitate illegal activities. Yet every fuddite makes it seem so.
Every single fiat currency in the world is/can be used for illegal activities. Do we discard them? Care to wager which currency, USD or BTC; is used more for illegal activities? No, I didn't think you would. But media and fudders will repeatedly point out that it's cryptos that are used to transact illegal things.
Is there an error in this? "In this case book pressure is simply (99.0010 + 98.755)/(10+5) = 98.9167." in the Market Structure signals section. I can't see how that equation relates to the trade data given just prior.
Does causing community tensions, new user confusion, forked market cap and diversion of resources worth creating this short term fix?
The BCH camp could have contributed their resources to helping Core come up with a long term solution. Any fork that doesn't offer real groundbreaking advances is just a distraction and should be shunned. Forks that are simple recompilations of the original Bitcoin with simple config changes to the blocksize and/or algo are power/greed plays.
I really wish people would stop using this "bitcoins used for illegal activities" narrative. USD is used for illegal activities and on a much larger scale yet nobody talks about it.
Let's do some conservative costing here.
4 people, consume 10 cups (total) of coffee each day, 20 work days in a month. At $3 a cup, that's $600. Now I'm not even going to guesstimate the beer but let's just say the team consume $100 of beer in a month. That leaves $1.5k for rent. Find a better deal.
