RE: Introduction to EOS, For those who have not known it yet
Point 4. https://steemit.com/steem/@elfspice/steemd-version-v0-19-1rc1-is-out
When there is zero interest configured by the Witness median determined rate, no transaction is made. (wow, who'da thunk that it would make sense to post an essentially No Op to the chain, clogging it up with like 50 bytes or so?) Whoever coded that algorithm should be put in stocks and have tomatoes thrown at them. That means you, BTW @dan. And people think EOS is gonna be great. Not unless you went back to study some Computer Science for a couple of days. I have an urge to make another still waiting skeleton meme on that one.
Wow then you could be more brilliant than dan.
I wrote that. This is a classic newbie programmer mistake, to forget about edge cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_case
I haven't written that much code in my life but I knew not to do that when I was like 17 years old.
Also, you should check out the username sanitiser. It uses, I kid you not, a complex switch statement, not, like everyone else in the industry uses, a one line regular expression. It was so convoluted I missed the fact that the period '.' was an allowable character except at the edges of a 16 character string. I wrote the proper regex and gave it to @someguy123 for his anonsteem site, as I was going to make my own 'Sybil Workshop'. My code also did not require the user to ever have the webserver see the original secret, it was a html page you were instructed to download and run with the network turned off.
My buddy @voluntary, here, also is a big student of Bruce Schneier, and you don't have to read many of his blogs to learn what a farce most electronic security systems actually are.
