Comment on std::unique_ptr implementation backed by Ethereum NFTsparent

Comments

These are my favorite coding projects. No business case, no practicality for non-developers (or developers for that matter), no long term support, no problem solving. Just a love/hate letter to software and the absurdity it brings to our world.

I assume you're very familiar with Tom7, and in particular his SIGBOVIK submissions, but just in case: Tom7!

I get the sense from other comments in this thread that I did indeed miss the point - it is satire. Just a little too subtle IMO.

Just a little too subtle IMO.

Direct quote from the linked page:

As we all know, adding blockchain to a problem automatically makes it simple, transparent, and cryptographically secure.

Or:

nft_ptr has negligible performance overhead compared to std::unique_ptr, as shown by this benchmark on our example program:
  Implementation        Runtime
  std::unique_ptr       0.005 seconds
  nft_ptr               3 minutes
