XRP is a currency, ETH is supposed to be a smart contract platform.

I believe in cryptoCURRENCY, as people do pay extra for validation in currency. XRP and Monero are both designed for payments.

ETH, is being used as a currency, but this is a mistake. ETH is designed to run apps, and is doing that poorly.

but my currency runs on eth!

nolCoin is an experimental crypto-currency where anyone can make as many as they want for free (plus gas) but only in amounts of a maximum 255 at a time. then when total coins reach uint256 max no more can be made.

implemented as standard erc20 token, plus a make(address, amount) function you can use to create coins!

I'm one of the open source React Native maintainers here at Facebook, and I'm the one who has set the direction for how issues are treated on our React Native repository.

To anyone whose issue I've closed prematurely, it's OK to feel upset about it. Please do let me know when that happens, as that is the signal I'm looking for. Out of thousands of issues that the bot has closed automatically, only a few dozen end up getting commented on after the fact. Some of these issues we won't reopen because there is no minimal repro (usually because they were opened before we started enforcing the issue template, in which case, please open a new issue!), but in many cases all it needs is for a maintainer to go in and re-open the issue.

If you're reading this and you are one of the people actively participating in the repo, and you'd like to get added to the team that manages issues, please reach out. We have a handful of non-Facebook maintainers with this type of access and we're always looking for more. Shoot an email to my first name @ fb.com.

At this time, we're only automatically closing issues that don't make use of the template. The requirements are actually quite lax: all we ask is for you to run `react-native info` so we can get more information about your setup, and a minimal reproducible example. Questions and requests for help do get sent to Stack Overflow, and this is with the community's best interest in mind as we want to focus on bugs and regressions that affect people's apps. For anything that is not a bug report or a request for help, we have an open-ended discussion template that can be used to file issues that used to get closed automatically in the past.

We used to close stale issues more aggressively in the past, which was needed to get us down from thousands of open issues down to a more manageable state. The bot now only closes issues after four months of inactivity. The bot does give a 30 day warning which should be enough for people to verify if the bug is still present in the latest release, in which case they can leave a comment and the bot won't bug you for another 90 days. This way, we can prune out any issues that got fixed in a release - as others have commented, sometimes the people fixing a bug are not aware that an issue was filed for the bug for various reasons.

But the true purpose of the stale bot is transparency: if there has been no activity in the issue in such a long time, it's not something people should expect to see fixed soon. Typically, issues where someone is able and willing to provide a fix for, or long-running issues describing a problem that does not have an easy fix but the core team wishes to fix at some point, will have some sort of ongoing discussion, in which case we protect the issue from being closed by adding the appropriate label ("Core Team" or "For Discussion").

Finally, I want to point out that the project is open source. If you are waiting for a fix to be merged and need to unblock yourself right now, you can always cut a release off your own fork. Please let us know when you do this, as this helps provide us with some signal about PRs that could be prioritized.

Well, I see there's at least been some action on the TextInput regressions that were keeping us on fork! <3

Not that running a patched version is necessarily a huge deal, but it's nice to have that 'this random code is approved by someone that actively works on the codebase' stamp.

(well, still might be on 0.55.3 for the version if NetInfo we can work around, but I do appreciate the project, warts and all)

Why should Facebook pay for that? If there are issues that are extremely costly to a bunch of outside teams maybe they should be the ones hiring people to fix their problems.

Been actively wondering if there would be enough interest/momentum for a community LTS fork.

Love RN, and the daunting vastness of the surface area not lost on me, but would be totally ok with me if development stalled for 6 months of purely bug-fix releases. Maybe I'd sound differently if I cared about integration with native apps.

There's no innovation in this sector. It needed Apple to kick Ti's sorry ass to get us to Ti 83 even instead of the Ti 82. It says quite a lot every Thunderbolt enclosure uses this chip: there are no other USB PD controllers (USB PD is used to negotiate Alternate Modes).

Another example: you can buy a small and cheap USB C to DisplayPort adapter with power passthrough (< 20 USD). You can buy a (relatively) small and cheap USB C to dual DisplayPort MST hub (<50 USD). You can not buy a USB C to dual DisplayPort MST hub with power passthrough unless it's a full dock, huge in size and expensive (200 USD at least).

I have to agree with him on Unity, the reaction to it seemed to outweigh it’s presentation. I gave it a try and liked some aspects but ultimately ended up on Cinnamon.

I realize that’s a totally subjective statement but I was surprised by some of the reactions I heard about it.

nol13 · 7 years ago
People (me) were just mad because seemingly in the blink of an eye they went from having a stable mature linux desktop, sometimes even approaching "it just works," to having that ripped away and replaced with a choice between [radical new desktop] or xfce. Unity or GNOME Shell might really be great, but that's a huge change to force on unsuspecting neckbeards.

Wish Canonical would have just created MATE themselves.

Mod parent up. I bought a Surface Pro thinking I should give Windows 10 Pro a chance with WSL on it. Even the “Pro” version comes with bubble gum jam games on it, ads, spyware / telemetry and the like. No way of removing it. I wiped Windows 10 after a week and installed Ubuntu.

Not even a viable option.

Shame really since the techn isn't bad these days.

I'm a student from India. Here parents are really strict about Computer time. The only way I can convince them isnto show them that this thing can generate some money.

That's why I put ads, you know how hard I felt to put ads on something that you spend hours perfecting.

My previous App was tet, it has no ads, but I really need to make some revenue to show them.

You want to know what those Ads are, ther'e justification that I won't go broke if I pursue code.

nol13 · 7 years ago
You're supposed to add the ads after you establish your user base.

<3 jQuery, maybe nostalgia talking but still one of my favorite pieces of software ever. Made DOM manipulation fun.
