dade··on Walmart Canada Uses Blockchain to Solve Supply-Chain Challenges
> After all, there already is implicit trust in the system described, and no decentralization. Or perhaps I haven't understood correctly.

I also don't have all the answers, but thinking more about it, maybe it is the case, that even though there is implicit trust, the third-party freight carriers might not want to depend on a centralised system wholly managed by Walmart? This could be due to opaqueness of such a system.

I am speculating here...but maybe they made every carrier and vendor a client and node of the blockchain network. From which they can add their own transactions as they happen and the entire chain will carry an accurate representation of the transactions from every carrier. Making it easy to collate in almost real-time.

> I don't think anyone who buys an NFT wants that NFT; they just hope to flip it for more money than they spent.

Is this not just how financial assets in general works? Anyone buying Amazon's share are not buying it because they want that share. They buy it because they hope some time down the line (weeks, months, years) they can flip it for more money than they spent.

dade··on Are dynamic languages going to replace static languages? (2003)
> "static" languages are incorporating ideas from dynamic languages. So the end result is a symbiosis, not opposition.

If I may ask, what ideas are static languages incorporating from dynamic languages? Could you help clarify?

Yes. This is part of the things I'll be adding in the coming days: rss feed, bookmarking functionality, a job board, optimize for mobile...
dade··on Show HN: PlanetTypeScript, Aggregator of all things TypeScript
Indeed. I noticed this myself but unfortunately I have not gotten around to optimise for mobile :(

I will in due time!

Thanks for the feedback. I just quickly went through the code examples and tried to sanitise them as much as I can now. As soon as I have more free time on my hands, I will revisit and update the naming based on your feedback. Thanks!

dade··on Ask HN: Collaborative Amateur Video Production App
makes sense...the putting together part could even be automated where you pre-define transitions and how each clip would fit together before assigning to friends/creators...and once clips are done and uploaded, you just watch your movie take shape...
