I posit that there is no such thing as a self-made billionaire. I believe that every single billionaire has had massive amounts of financial assistance. I'd love to see a single counter-example to this statement.
I don't doubt that most of the "NFT Drop" things are worthless money grabs, but my point is that the tech is still darling to tons of corpo execs, and so lots of people in the industry are still getting $$$ to make cool things :)
DHT with either bootstrapping or literally just rip through every single IPv4 addr and see if it's a peer lol.
> * No identity manager
How do you know what your friends' phone numbers or emails are? Ask them. No centralized DB needed.
> * No shared server. A server is fine so long as you are the only client that can access it as a server or other clients are currently known and prior authenticated (a peer).
Ethereum (and many of its sibling/child evm chains) clients can run on a Raspberry Pi. It's really not that hard to run a node, and could be packaged into common usage easily.

Yeah, this is the big one for sure that needs to be solved :)
> * No blockchain
What is wrong with a public distributed ledger?
> * No shared database or other shared services
Not sure what this applies to.
large multinational brands are dropping nft collabs often right now - adidas, tons of high fashion, etc. & many other other big brands are working on them behind closed doors
i don't think it's going anywhere, and most people are just building out tech and infra
I want Apple to stop restricting third-party browsers on iOS. MacOS Safari has the same WebGL bugs, but our game's Desktop client uses a WebView under our control & versioning that isn't Safari, and so doesn't have the bug.
If iOS had the same capabilities, I wouldn't care at all if Safari introduced bugs, since it wouldn't break our product.
This isn't the first, or second, or third time that Apple has shipped broken stuff in Safari on iOS which broke our product. I've been dealing with this for years, and it's not getting any better. I'm absolutely frustrated about this, but when I spend time honing in patches for Safari regressions & Safari just ships more regressions, it's hard not to be frustrated.
Happens on latest Safari on MacOS, too: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/476502698066182179/95...
The bundling of Safari versions with iOS, combined with the draconian policy of "Safari is the only legal rendering engine on iOS", bites me every day as a developer that's working on a mobile site for iDevices.
Break your bud up! Then, soak it for a few days in water (distilled, preferably) in a covered container. Then, before you make cannabutter out of it, blanch your weed (bring to a boil, then put it into ice water). This will take most of the flavor out of it. Strain all the water out.
The rest of the process is as usual - Decarboxylate your herb by baking it at 240F for ~45 minutes, mixing it up every ~10m so it doesn't burn or toast unevenly. Then simmer it with butter and water for like 4 hours. If you have a thermometer, make sure the temperature stays under 180F. After 4 hours, strain all the butter thru a cheesecloth or whatever strainer you have, and discard the solids.
You'll be left with a reasonably flavorless butter you can use in any sort of cooking :)
I strongly disagree with this sentiment. I think the author's view that frameworks like Electron offer "no value over a native desktop application what so ever - well, perhaps with the only exception that now a 2 year old baby can make something shiny that you can click on with your mouse." is missing the point that a "2-year-old baby" making something shiny you can click on is an amazing feat, and an example of the power of the democratization of computing technology.
I do agree that tech stacks are increasingly obtuse, and not something any one person can carry in their head. I do agree that this is problematic. However, I really believe that the more individuals get access to a technology and have their barriers to using it removed, the better odds we have of letting someone with great ideas execute those ideas.
