Been following Godot for a good while but never tried it myself. I support them on Patreon anyway though, just because I think it's important that we have a truly open source game engine like Godot :) Did you try Godot 3.0 yet?

Thanks for dropping by. While you are here, why not check out my submissions? They rarely get any attention but in my opinion the things I submit are quite interesting and if more people saw them that would make me happy :)
- Trading cryptocurrencies produces capital gains or losses, with the latter being able to offset gains and reduce tax.
- Exchanging one token for another — for example, using Ethereum to purchase an altcoin — creates a taxable event. The token is treated as being sold, thus generating capital gains or losses.
- Receiving payments in crypto in exchange for products or services or as salary is treated as ordinary income at the fair market value of the coin at the time of receipt.
- Spending crypto is a tax event and may generate capital gains or losses, which can be short-term or long-term. For example, say you bought one coin for $100. If that coin was then worth $200 and you bought a $200 gift card, there is a $100 taxable gain. Depending on the holding period, it could be a short- or long-term capital gain subject to different rates.
- Converting a cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars or another currency at a gain is a taxable event, as it is treated as being sold, thus generating capital gains.
- Air drops are considered ordinary income on the day of the air drop. That value will become the basis of the coin. When it's sold, exchanged, etc., there will be a capital gain.
- Mining coins is considered ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the coin the day it was successfully mined.
- Initial coin offerings do not fall under the IRS's tax-free treatment for raising capital. Thus, they produce ordinary income to individuals and businesses alike.

If you are going to use Void Linux I would strongly recommend not picking the musl version unless you are specifically interested in improving musl support by filing and/or fixing bugs.
Not sure if it works on image search also.

With the book having been published in 2014, and type hints [1] being introduced with Python 3.5 released in 2015 [2], without knowing how the book did it I guess this is one part of the book that could have been made better in 2018.
They will use a language called Wren but they also say that any language will be possible to use through script system plugins.
According to them, “the API can be bound to other languages easily, and the workflow for that language can be idiomatic”.
They’ve made bindings for rust, c# (mono), c++, js, lua, dart, python and swift, but they point out that it is unrealistic to expect one person to maintain said bindings.
IMO it would be natural to use “TFA” in the same way you would use “RTFM” — when you are scolding someone for not having read what they should — but using “TFA” as just a synonym for “the article”... that always throws me off.
Google won out over Oracle in the end but it took a long time — from 2012 until 2016; four years of court cases — with some courts finding that API structures were copyrightable and others found that they were not, or that reimplementation was fair use. I guess we now have a precedent thanks to this but it could still be an issue? IANAL so I don’t know.
Would making a PDF reader with the Core Graphics API also be nearly trivial then?
Additionally, Snapchat has a bunch of effects that you can add on top of videos that people enjoy, for example the dog ears and nose and tongue.
And Snapchat has text chat and group chat.
And Snapchat has “stories” that you can post pictures and videos to and view other peoples “stories”. A story is a feed. You can either post to a story that your friends can see or a story that people in a group can see or to “our story” that everyone can see.
The intristic value is communication. They are far from the only one to let you communicate but they have a polished product and they are offering a different sort of communication than a lot of others do.
Also when I transferred videos from my iPhone to my computer and watched the videos in VLC they played back at normal speed so I guess the slow down is actually recorded as meta-data either inside the video or someplace else in iOS so that it is non-destructive. In turn of course that means that I can watch the whole thing on the computer at any speed I desire but when I talked about the normal speed stuff I mean when I watch it on the phone itself.
This mainly has value for game development I think, but other programs that feature a lot of animation could benefit from it as well.
When I say “high-speed camera” you might think of cameras that cost in the range of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars but actually from what I’ve seen on YouTube even a camera that would capture some hundred FPS could provide interesting insight. Preferably at a not too low resolution though. Some cameras like that exist for the price around some hundreds to under a couple of thousand dollars. It might be worth looking into. And let me know if you find one that seems especially good and with not too big of a price tag because I am looking too and haven’t found quite the perfect one yet.
Btw it probably helps if you have some other intended use for the camera as well like for example to take photos and pictures of things in the nature.
Rather, I mean, I think that the above would be possible, but would those transactions be accepted by the rest of the network or do transactions need to be verified by more than just the one or few couple of full nodes that you run? I seem to recall something about the execution of every single smart contracts happening on all full nodes in the network but that seems strange (mainly because of how volatile any large scale network of distributed nodes will be in terms of nodes passing in and out or temporarily losing connectivity with the rest of the network) so I think I did not understand correctly how the Ethereum network really works.
Furthermore, if a full node could be run in the fashion I mentioned above then how many smart contract executions would it be able to facilitate per hour? Currently Ethereum is Proof-of-Work, so it would depend on your hashing power I guess. Perhaps the chance of finding a block is so small that you can’t realistically run the kind of node that I mentioned? And how about after they switch to Proof-of-Stake, will it be feasible then if not now? How much would you have to stake in order to be able to put through the transactions you wanted?
But if it’s an ERC20 token, don’t we need to pay gas to use it? Or does the token run on a chain that you guys control instead of on the Ethereum blockchain?
