It doesn't: the GP didn't mention any scintillation.
My aura was similar to their description. I would be reading, and the words before or after the current one would be gone. I figured it was the migraine disrupting the visual processing parts of the brain so much so that the automatic filling in of the blind spot stopped working.
I used to experience weird "I know there's something there but can't see it" (e.g., words, my hand) at particular angles from the center of what I was looking at. It turned out that my blood pressure was so low that I was very near to fainting. It was especially bad on days when I was dehydrated, which was the big clue. Once I started drinking water much more often, the experience hasn't happened again.
I realize there are people experiencing migraines and other painful experiences, but if you have occasional "I can't see right / my head hurts" experiences, consider seeing if drinking a lot more water helps. ;)
From the first paper that you linked (available freely on sci-hub) it looks like they were unable to proove that their method actually works. They made simulations with small problems but are not sure if this method will work for larger problems.
No such plans. What would be the motivation anyway? A different hash function for the infohash calculation wouldn't change anything since other parts of the protocol would still use sha256 (v2) or sha1 (v1). So if this is about security, you wouldn't be changing the weakest link.
Not to mention that this would not be compatible with other peers, there is no algorithm-negotiation in the network protocols, so how would they know which hash you're using? The magnet link is pretty much the far end of the process, you'd have to change a lot of other things first.
And this is not was I was replying to. Gp was comparing this to a chargeback.
But now that you bring up governance, bitcoin is essentially being steered by a handful of mining pools, not by loosely knit community of private individuals :)
Then seems to me it's on its deathbed, not in its infancy. A handful of Chinese mining pools will decide which fork retains any value...so much for decentralization.
I always configure git and all editors on Windows to use LF line endings. It is so annoying that so many applications use CRLF endings by default, I never understood reason for that, I'm always using LF and have no issues.
D runs in @system by default but there are @safe which enforces safety and @trusted (like unsafe in Rust). Those are all attributes you can write libraries in like @nogc etc.
