nicheon Ask HN: Haxe or Unity? Why?

Thought so, uhhhh also, Haxe is open source, need I say more?

nicheon Ask HN: How would you implement a verifiable open-source web application?

Yes!

nicheon Ask HN: How would you implement a verifiable open-source web application?

I love this idea: I think you can extend it further.

I would build this idea on the Blockchain; every transaction is tracked and publicly available while details are secure

PTE: Publicly transparent entities (like a non profit, without the bullshit)

Also love the idea of having a computerized "gatekeeper"; a dangerous proposition, query-less tables that only computers can read; make it unreadable, and it is truly unhackable

nicheon Ask HN: Haxe or Unity? Why?

Thank you; very useful

It is my understanding the Haxe to Unity arrow is one way ie Unity does not support Haxe

nicheon Ask HN: Why is binary used instead of ternary?

nob: not only binary 10W "1" "0" "Whatever" (not to be mistaken for power measurement)

Could a binary computer teach itself to build ternary circuits?

Base(4) is effectively base~2, base_e is purportedly optimal, base`pi is compelling

Is 3 a concept best grasped by humans?

binary within ternary or ternary within binary?

nicheon Ask HN: Why is binary used instead of ternary?

You could have predefined gates 0V-1V= 0 1V-2V= 1 2V-3V= 2 / -1

Do negative voltages exist?

Positive voltage, negative voltage, no voltage

Ternary allows for measurements of relativity at the pin level whereas binary is a yes/no...

nicheon Ask HN: Why is binary used instead of ternary?

Well there are so many options here, which make things that much more exciting. So basically: 0V, 5V, everything else
