Google mentioned Episcopal. I attended the Episcopal church a couple times in the past year and liked it a lot. It's more structured and no crazy music and informal stuff. The priest had some interesting readings that landed in my soul.

Then the congregant made some comment about organizing political stuff in the run up to November elections. She had a beautiful voice but I really didn't want to hear even vaguely about politics in church.

I just met the Mormon missionaries in the town where I am. Some smart blond kids from Idaho asking if they can come around and talk about Jesus and the book of Mormon.

All the different churches are like Bitcoin mining/nodes. It keeps the whole network honest even when some fork off. Church of Christ sounds like a good concept.

I'm not too familiar with JW other than it seems super Ponzi and hard to escape from once within.

As many dark street corners as they stand on, I kinda wonder if it was a secret tactic of businessmen to have free street policing.

yeah, those JWs do tend to hang out in shady places, maybe they do kinda ward off the shadies, i mean, really, they always hang out in shady places at the edges of mostly metro stations in eastern europe

i don't understand them at all, but even though i was raised with SDA and went to many services i'm now finally at a point where i'm like, integrating all of it, ok, SDA is just mainly some kind of jew scam to introduce cornflakes and circumcision and veganism mainly (really, that's really what it was)

the catholics are closer to the source for my money... i'm getting quite excited about learning the procedure of the mass next sunday

all the other shit, man, i been through the whole lot, every kind of new age, creepy cult real estate investment, shitcoin, fucking bitcoin (yes bitcoin) and what else... chaos magic, laveyan satanism, Robert Anton Wilson et al and their variants of gnosticism

i understand now how the catholic formula worked so well

but it's not going to stop me from understanding the real underlying message below all of the stories, the new age, the magick, the traditional myths, all of it, i'm going to make sufficient sense of it to know how i'm going to get through this next 50 years or so

from here, first step is get mobile, because the best location may not be what the models said yesterday, new models may point in a different direction, and almost all of the places it points at have coastlines, and that means being on a boat gets you there

You would be a good one to ask this question:

What do you think of the Bob Proctor abundance meditation

https://youtu.be/RKOlsS4QCRU

I'm a bit scared of it tbh. But maybe it's entirely harmless.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 10mo ago

red flags on abundance and meditation

focus on stuff that actually heals you and makes you valuable to someone in the short term (by which i mean next 5 years)

maybe you need to learn javascript, maybe you need to learn cloud deployment, or CI/CD devops stuff, maybe you need to drill down on your database skills for writing, idk, graphql queries or heaven forefend, something horrible like building custom key value store indexes

gojiberra 10mo ago

Ok, so meditating isn't going to cut the paycheck. You aren't one of those" 0.1 BTC and you're set" kinda folks :-D how much would it take tho to retire myself into non productivity?

I'm Looking up ci/CD, graphQL and custom key value store indexes.

I dislike JavaScript, is python still a good skill?

gojiberra 10mo ago

what would replace Oracle and Pl/SQL in some decentralized future

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 10mo ago

idk, but if you are a database programmer you probably could make a lot of money writing smart contracts, because that's all they are, database scripts

gojiberra 10mo ago

I thought smart contracts were a nothing burger. ? As many times we find bugs in database procedures, I can't imagine having them just ossified in block somewhere

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 10mo ago

yep, that's the one! they can be upgraded though

but seriously, your skills will be most directly applicable to that, as regards to "what is the most lucrative way i can deploy my current skills?"

i can't stand that shit, it makes my nerves jangle that people don't understand that it's like, less than embedded computing, doesn't even have the fun feature of cool stuff like rendering graphics or doing realtime network chatter or anything, it's like, gah, this stuff

but really, if db scripts are your thing, you can make bank writing smart contracts, i work with a vietnamese dude who is doing Move SCs and he built a javascript based interface to the SCs that runs a simple data store that replicates the blockchain data

and he is puzzled why my job is writing a Go server to replicate his data, but i've been trying to explain "this is (N-1)N complexity to compare all the records in the database" and i think they are starting to understand why i don't give a fuck about their stupid low powered database scripting engines and shitty interpreted languages

Move SCs...giving me a lot to look thru and learn about. Thank you.

Just a basic question is, my understanding was that Bitcoin was designed to be non turing complete in order to limit the error possibilities. So this Move SC is quite potentially going to seriously mess up at some point. At which point the parties involved will just have to settle legally (refund accidental transmission of funds etc). So it's kinda back to just having a bank running a procedure with plenty of legal guarantees and insurance etc.

.... Maybe these are obvious questions. I'm going to have to read more about this

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 10mo ago

yeah, Move is definitely better than solidity and has strong enforcement of correctness, especially the Sui implementation

and yes, these things are generally too powerful for what they really do, sui Move is probably the most sane one i have seen so far, it even has a base logic for algorithm correctness, idk what they call it "proving" some retarded analytical shit that can't possibly be used for anything more complicated than a retarded database script

you can probably win more money by learning solidity than Move but Move is by far a better one to work with and you will have less psychotic loons telling you what to do with it

idk! shitcoins, i hate them, and i especially hate how all this "fancy shit" is actually like, basically a step backwards and they pimp it like it's the future

it's not the future, and what i do with Go is 1000x more advanced shit than they do but never mind these clowns

no coincidence that the major preferred language base for all this shit is Rust

literally, they say "woo rust is so much better for servers" and then deploy them on database script DSLs and pretend that is consistent

it makes me sad

So this isn't used in Taproot then

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 10mo ago

no, as far as it goes with taproot, all they have is some vague specification of "tweaks" that let you associate, from the server (smart contract) side that various addresses are connected to the same "contract address" while hiding that fact from the network

from a cryptographic perspective, they are literally just an on-chain HD wallet scheme, there's nothing more to it, it's precisely the same, address + arbitrary string, hash, and voila, new public key that can't be seen as linked to the old one... so it gives you many "slots" to accept payments from the same base and your server can scan the mempool by iterating the allowed "tweak values"

literally just the same shit as HD keychains, which is like 201 5 technology, and actually the theoretical principle dates back way further than that, and yeah while i'm talking about AI, the principle behind AI symbol graphs is literally exactly a form of hash tweak shit like taproot addresses, that they call "proximity hash" and they use different bit scrambling algorithms to achieve the actual "proximity" between two similar inputs

An Idiot that called herself Bitcoin Manager scammed of my earn hard money 😡🥲 I consulted JBEE SPY TEAM when I was involved in a bitcoin trading scam. It was unknown to me that there were systematic ways to retrieve scammed funds. I came across a business website who promised a huge return on investment. I was so convinced. The website was good and after all the convincing, I ended up depositing 150,000 USD, unfortunately, I fell into the wrong hands. I was really devastated until I sent an email to an expert who came highly recommended to JBEE SPY TEAM

I gave him all the information about the scammer and this hacker also work together with the FBI., and within a few working days, they restored 85% of my BTC back to my wallet. I was shocked and glad at the same time. With trustworthy people like JBEE SPY TEAM I can 100% guarantee your money will be recovered back.
