From what I've been reading, I think it has. There's a huge backlash against it being adopted in video games and video game companies making NFTs, and a lot of platforms for trading NFTs is being hacked left and right with huge losses and damage in trust. I think the crash might also be correlated with cryptocurrencies taking a huge dip in value as well.
I think so but you can also use web programming for desktop programs if you use Electron.js (depends on what you want to develop)
Ah yes, I've been thinking of learning towards using Electron.js for app development, because I've noticed its been used in software like Discord and VScode, but the main concern I have with it is performance issues because of it being based on Chromium, making it hard to be scaled up. Would it be a good investment to learn it in the long run?
It has performance issues, but they should be resolved in the following years. Given that its so early and major companies are using it at its current state, I think there are only upsides for the future.
Honestly, i don't know. Logically thinking, you would say that "merging" web and desktop development is the trend of the future and what it should happen but so far when I occasionally open up job descriptions they always ask the usual things.
It's amazing how many people bought into what is basically a pyramid scheme. Game companies making NFTs? You mean like EA, sony? How is that not illegal?
Yup, and I've heard Ubisoft tried getting into it as well. A lot of the values we see for NFT are simply a scam, where they bid their own auction at high prices then sell it to themselves to inflate the value, after that they would try to get suckers to buy it at "discounted" prices to earn a profit. Another thing I've heard that I'm not sure if its true or how it works, but you could get like tax reduction by selling your NFT at a "loss" because it counts assets? This could just be a rumor because that's pretty weird.
Surely there is at least some lowly analysis either for gov , contractors, or think tanks prowling this forum and various twitter accounts trying to get some insight or direction.
This is news to me. If people lose a lot of money heads are going to roll. Figuratively in the west and possibly literally in China.
Look at some of the pictures that get posted on the air force forum. This website is one of the few windows beyond the GFW.
