For the most part, Crypto assets have no real value. They can be used as a currency, but that’s infrequent at this point, and really it’s now just a speculative asset.

In other words, Ethereum’s (and other Cryptos) value is based almost entirely upon how much people think someone else will pay in the future.

If they think the price will go up, then they will buy. If they think the price will go down, then they will sell.

Because of this, any shred of evidence that could predict the perceived value going up or down can cause a huge shift in the market. Most likely a news article was released, or someone Tweeted something, that made people think the price could change.

I was curious, so here’s the original post on Stack Overflow: Link (Archive Link)

None of them are very big but they may be worth a try

The first two reasons, to me, feel like excuses to hide the true reason(s) they cheat. I’d wager it varies per person but that many just want to be seen as cool or skilled by having everything or beating everyone. It seems equivalent to people who modify cars to be extremely loud; despite many saying the contrary, they’ve convinced themselves that people love to hear their loud cars go by.

It could also be the anonymous effect of online games. They don’t quite perceive themselves as cheating, really, because they don’t know the players and will never know them. It likely feels like NPCs in a video game, for the most part. If there were actually social pressure, like would be in a schoolyard game of football, then far fewer would be willing to risk the social ostracization. But because they are anonymous online, they feel safe and empowered to cheat.

Wow you’re right, he’s the author of the infamous “is-odd” and “is-even” packages. What an odd person.

Someone in the OP PR mentioned the amount of energy used to download these tiny packages and its actually something crazy to think about

CTO of my company was up at 1am this morning in the chats. Pray for the IT department

If it’s broken then why no issue being tracked? Is there any issue tracking at all or is it genuinely all through Discord?

I would really recommend using GitHub’s features whenever possible, especially for important information like the status of the Android build. Very few people are keen to join a Discord group to find the status of your code or instructions

The whole thing looks suspicious to me - there are no images of the game, broken English everywhere, tons of contributors but only one open issue. The repo is just odd in a lot of ways and is sending out bad vibes.

Also, the Android instructions make no sense, since there’s no APK in the releases. Unless they somehow bundle that in the source code or Linux zip.

Well yes, but also no. You can’t reproduce a book because that violates copyrights.

Open source in this context just means that nobody owns the book, you can reproduce it however many times you want, and distribute it where you want as long as you include the original license in the reproduction (MIT license).

Also, there’s a bit of a colloquial understanding that others are able to contribute or fork the original source material.

Really interesting take on layout. Seems pretty well developed though so my initial impressions are good.

Plus bonus points for putting the APK in their releases

I have been using FlorisBoard for a while now, and had no idea about Heliboard! I saw the rename but didn’t really pay any mind to what the app was. I liked Florisboard well enough but it was laggy and unresponsive with no predictions, so I made a ton of typos

Will definitely be giving Heliboard a run

I just got started with this after seeing it on here a few weeks ago. And so far I really like it

I’m learning so much from this thread and I don’t even use Java
