it’s frustrating because webpages were really functional without this problem a decade ago. i don’t know why links jump around today. is it because it’s cheaper to let the client figure out what content they need instead of using server-side computation?

have you met an engineer who doesnt copy code from stackexchange? I’m not saying they blindly paste it in and forget about it, but copying a line or two that you (now) understand is fine.
i did this a month ago, ate a pear and was like wow i havent eaten a pear in decades… just strange that you just dont come across pears that often.
have you needed to use microG for any apps? is it a sufficient replacement for google play?
just for the number of participants. and there’s a construction (a pseudorandom generator) thatll let you do it with one block
you base the random dice roll on the proof of work of the block chain. proofs of work generate randomness because (proof by contradiction) if they didn’t it would be easy to find the next block and make a bunch of money.
EDIT: more concretely, in a blockchain, “miners” compute a “hash” of the chain up to the latest block, with an extra random “nonce”. they then check if this hash has a certain distinguishing feature (eg 5 leading zeros). if it doesn’t have this feature, the recompute the hash with a new nonce. the rest of the bits in the hash thus become random. thus, if you commit to using a future hash to determine your lottery, it can be guaranteed to be random (or prove you have enough money to manipulate the block chain which is very difficult)
you can still be a good engineer and still copy code from stack exchange. i wasn’t saying windows engineers are bad

windows engineers have probably been copying snippets from stackoverflow for decades, which may have been copied from the kernel or some other copyleft product

reddit is fine. i thought Tencent owned more of it but just googled it and it’s a pretty small percentage (11%). but i am worried that reddit will get worse soon and i want there to be an alternative. so I’m still using both.
