Again? Must be bad luck. Get better soon 🤗🩹🌞
When is cross-input signature aggregation (Taproot v2) coming?
Emerald City Comic Con is in full swing! And I am Chainsawing myself. Chainsaw Man. Brought to you by Wizards!
It says it's EVM compatible. But I haven't figured out yet if it runs on Bitcoin or Ethereum L1. The ZK-rollup part excites me though
I bought a used 3D printer. No auto-leveling. The motherboard is 8-bit and the servos make awful noises. Still, I'm excited.
Discovered another cool low-overhead systems programming language in development. https://vale.dev/
The design process for Raku/Perl 6 took 15 years. Nobody uses it. JavaScript was designed in 10 days. It's used by about a million developers. Effort is not always proportional to reward.
GitHub projects with a Code of Conduct longer than the actual code are a blight.
Apple sucks, guys. It's not a question of whether it will screw you over, but when.
I should have actually committed to learning Rust a while ago. The momentum behind it is too strong to ignore now: the language has mostly matured, big companies are using it, and the technical advantages are apparent.
Rust is not the final evolution of programming languages. But it did do something great: "introduced using the type system to enforce rules on resource usage into the mainstream." I was just thinking about how linear types might help with this the other day, so I am pleasantly surprised to see a new project like Austral making it a reality.
Have you looked into Darcs patch algebra?
Hacking the Thon with STARKs: anybody want to do it with me?

If the consensus rules cannot be cleanly separated from the Bitcoin Core implementation, and "the code is the spec", then that is a design flaw. Appealing to the consequences of consensus failure in order to justify this flaw is backwards. I don't blame other teams for at least trying.
BGP is a networking protocol which is also consensus-driven (the global routing table for IP networks) and it has had major issues, which required upgrades and config fixes, but it works okay and has multiple production ready implementations. This is despite the first draft literally being written on napkins. We should learn from BGP and other protocols to inform Bitcoin network development rather than spurn the ideas of specifications and standards entirely. I'm not saying technical specifications are always amazing or that a project without one is awful, but any spec is better than no spec.
Less than 3 USD. Peso inflation is about twice as bad as US too
Schwab will never get me to give up my milk! 🥛

I finally got to the good part of the Three Body TV show, where they start playing the game. 😄
