A young person in our family was using this. It's a beautiful app, but typing and editing code on an iPad without a physical keyboard appeared to be extremely frustrating. Cutting-pasting, refactoring, etc. all become cumbersome and she had to spend time fighting with the editor instead of focusing on the problems.
Waiting for them to make a Mac port, since coding happens on a "real" computer (for now, anyway).
There seems to be a lot of confusion in the other posts as to what this is.
Simply, it is an adapter that lets you use SQL syntax to introspect Ethereum blockchain data (blocks, and transactions.) Typically people do this using a JS API built into the node software [1], and it may/may not be ones' cup of tea.
"The incident was described by two entrepreneurs who were told about it in the weeks after it occurred but were not authorized to speak about it."
May be unfair to all parties involved that a situation is described on hearsay, with the source not identified, and not even being a direct source (someone who wasn't at the event, and who heard about it weeks later.)
Just wish everyone would hop onboard quicker. We still need a lot of consumer education.
For example, Apple Pay works great at Whole Foods. I use it every time. Other people in line painstakingly pay with credit cards, despite holding an iPhone in their other hand. The new chip cards take longer to process, even, 5 seconds or so.
Hey, I never questioned his fluency, just not being able to speak in a professional/serious tone to match the other people. If you liked it, great. Also, you're assuming too much about a 鄉民 on the Internet. :)
Chinese speaker here. His comments were all over-the-top excited, repeating and exaggerating others' words, almost like mocking the Chinese staff (see around 2:20 mark for example.) Think Borat-speak. Seemed very strange and unfit for this otherwise good piece.
Gas is its own unit, decoupled from ETH. Opcodes cost a certain amount of gas to execute [1]. When creating a transaction, a sender sets the maximum amount of gas that they are willing to pay. This is the "gas limit."
I'm a firm believer that Americans don't understand how to zone cities. In Asia (e.g. Japan) you can have beautiful high-rises mixed with things useful for daily life, be that small shops, restaurants, or convenience stores. Even Ginza has useful things if you walk a couple of blocks.
On the other hand, if you take Seattle's Belltown, there will be art stores, realtor offices, and other things you rarely ever ever need, and yet you have to drive five minutes to buy a bottle of water.
WeChat, while excellent on iOS, is also a lifesaver on the desktop given that they provide true native apps for Mac and Windows (no Electron!) Video/voice calls, file sharing, group chat, stickers, everything is there, but the performance alone makes this more usable over other chat apps today.
It seems that over the years, their PM team is more confident (capable?) in keeping a good balance between core chat usability and all the "extras", perhaps because they are not playing catch-up in the market.
Sometimes doing one thing well is all you need. Anki is like the assembly language of flashcards apps, higher-level solutions can be very handy too. (Speaking as a multi-language learner.)
If I swipe long enough vertically, the card does seem to go away, so I figured it's a "come back to this later" feature. Didn't realize could do up/left/right to mark status, that's handy!
Quick feedback: flicking away a card takes too long (vertical distance) of a flick. I have to carefully drag it from top to bottom for the card to flick away. Wish it was more sensitive. Perhaps 30% of the screen height is enough of a threshold. Otherwise, thank you. Going to be using this!
Always wondered that about encryption at rest as a feature in cloud services. The key is stored in the same system somewhere (or your app wouldn't function). A rogue employee can find the key if they want. So what is the practical benefit?
