#[0] just did the best PR damus ever. Damus will now reconnect *instantly* when you switch back to the app. Before it had a weird 4 second reconnect delay. Thank you!!

So good! Thanks, #[1] !

I just got a question on an open source project's github I wrote about 12 years ago...

crazy, can't believe people are still using work I wrote soooo many years ago!

I would love if I could this make a “plugin”. This might be a first step toward pluggable algorithms.

Terry Yiu 2y ago

Thinking out loud. Would that involve defining a DSL or some schema at the protocol layer that could be used in any client?

Backwards incompatible changes to core functionality like this hurt everyone. This is how forks on open source projects can happen. If developers disagree with the direction of where an app is going, it can be forked as a new project, or a competitor will take over. The market will ultimately decide.

Terry Yiu 2y ago

Collaboration and consensus building can always be achieved. Everyone just needs to talk it through with cool heads.

If you don’t want other clients to see images from your users than so be it. Once they realize that no one can see their image posts you will quickly lose users anyways. I’m done talking about this. cya ✌️

Thanks #[0]! I had fun on this!

If anyone else needs some front end help on their Nostr project let me know. nostr:note1egv30qq4zwd4h76r4dazzcq9md9fldwsvzxjartxhmnl9j25mf2q3qyk6r

Agree to disagree. Too much nesting and complexity is a sign of too much nesting and complexity. Code is clean or not. #[3] help me out.

That said, I have very much come around on your way of thinking for JS and TS. But again, they don’t count.

Report the account on Twitter and block.

best part is #[1] added 69 as a default option

Add 420 as a zap option and Elon might even consider integrating Twitter into Nostr.

Is the guess random? Strangely, the same post is sometimes recognized as a need for translation, and sometimes it doesn‘t.

When switching pages, you will also see no translation, such as switching from the global to the homepage, but it does not always happen.

I think it is more necessary to cache the translation than the original text, because the API may be charged or the number of translations is limited.

Terry Yiu 2y ago

The predicted language is provided by Apple’s natural language library, but it can be incorrect. That accounts for most of what you see in your experience using translations in Damus.

The other issue is that we don’t retry failed requests to fetch translations at the moment, which could improved on. Requests can transiently fail for a multitude of reasons.

Noted about caching translations. I’ll think on it more.
