Funnily enough a friend of mine and I migrated some of our projects over to GitLab right before this original story broke. It’s really unfortunate though that this will probably go through since GitHub was/is really the staple site for social programming and project management, something that GitLab is certainly lacking.

Ask HN: Is forking an existing blockchain a good idea to learn?

atlasM — Sat, 02 Jun 2018 01:37:34 +0000

Im on the fence whether I should fully implement a blockchain myself, or if I should fork one to see how it works on a production level. If I go this route, what would be a simple blockchain project to fork? Any language

I usually just leave it on in the background while I program/study.

I also might have a tiny problem......

It's not necessarily tech-related, but State of Play[0]. It's a documentary about Korean StarCraft players/teams and what it was like to be in the scene right after the peak of its popularity. It's easily one of my favorites.

I’ve taken a look at Clojure and Haskell and I’m really liking them. How to F# and Erlang compare in terms of use case?

I’m not necessarily looking for the easiest to learn, but more or less the most versatile/used

Ask HN: What is the exact way a new node knows about the others and vise versa?

atlasM — Mon, 28 May 2018 17:56:44 +0000

I’m trying to understand blockchains more but I’m having trouble grasping how new nodes can “pop up” and be integrated into the system without a centralized server

Doesn’t everyone write desktop software in JS now? Discord, VSCode, Skype, etc all use Electron

atlasM — Sun, 27 May 2018 15:57:53 +0000

While I’m not sure there’s a way to do it in one shot, Stripe, PayPal, and WP plug-ins like WooCommerce will cover credit cards, etc. For crypto, Coinpayments is the one I’ve personally looked into
