Joking aside, their white paper (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zhuowei/nft_ptr/main/white...) is a must-read.
Thank you. I must say that this is the ONLY white paper I managed to understand, ever. Very concise. Kudos to the authors. I wish we had more like this.
As are their benchmarks
std::unique_ptr 0.005 seconds
nft_ptr 3 minutes
I loved this section of the readme - I nearly choked I was laughing so hard.
That said, I don't really think 3 minutes is that terrible for what it's doing. But man the phrasing there tickled me.
It would be nice to have energy consumption benchmarks too...
And only one of these options costs $100s in gas fees.
I was tempted to open an issue:
Printing on green paper did not make it white.
Do it! Bug: printing the white paper on colored paper does not work as expected
Perfect example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Does_exactly_what_it_says_on_t...
Maybe I'm too young, but I had no idea the phrase only originated in 1994
The presence of a white paper gives any project the luster of pseudo-academic rigor.
Did I just got hacked reading this “white paper”?
I just wanted to use a one word reply, but that might have lacked the context. So I will say, good job :)
