We are in full agreement there and I sincerely hope that Bitcoin can succeed Despite my ever growing list of worries.

We need more fuck the state Bitcoiners who actually mean it and less people who see it as a speculative asset that get them ritch Who want daddy FDIC to ensure their investments.

Meanwhile... at Walmart...

I'm on my lunch break. I'm finishing up my second full week of working at Walmart. It's been rather interesting, but nothing too crazy has happened. Thankfully.

I will mention that yesterday I was given my first very vehement FU. My job is to stand at the door, greet people, and also check receipts for people who have unbagged merchandise. Quite frankly, it's not a glorious job. Most people are fine, but you get those that are so offended that I could ask them for receipt because it obviously means that I'm implying that they're stealing things. 🙄 Others are offended that they just went through a regular checkout and have to show a receipt to another human being before they walk out the store. (I'm rather sympathetic to these people, but I simply don't know any better because I'm not the one at the registers watching every person walk through. LOL!) So anyway, this one young lady came up to the line that was forming for my coworker and I to check receipts and she was obviously in a hurry and went to the side to try to get around and I politely asked if I could see her receipt to which she gave the very vocal FU and walked away, rather quickly. I actually laughed out loud because it amused me so much. And that actually seemed to offend her. So not only did I get the FU, I got the dramatic mean girl hair flip as she was walking off. That made my night.

I'm sure that I will have many incidences of that in the future, but for now, that's been the top story so far. I have heard quite a lot of stories from my co-workers, though, so it is inevitable that I'll have juicier things to share in the future.

What's funny is nostr is not that big and maxis still have to mute every replier because of how many monero repliers are there, they'll end up muting more than posting! to end up living in a ghost town! (while readers have a good time seeing all that activity)

Don't you know we're fasting?

What should I do if I already did that in 2022?

#Bitcoin doing Bitcoin things...

Maybe my media jobs weren't that bad in the end. If somebody has an idea where an old fart can make a buck writing, You know where You can find me...

so again, that's the point, they are just a double indirection like an interface, a static type abstraction, just as it is cheap to resolve a pointer it is cheap to resolve the "fat pointer" of type and variable in an interface

it's just an interface

they muddy the waters by inventing new names for well established concepts

ok so they are just another silly name for interfaces, but trying to say they are not interfaces

you can do that now with interfaces with generic parameters in Go since 1.24, this "prototypes" thing

it's a relaxing of a rule that you can't define external (not in package) methods on a type, you can now define methods on a type alias

i barely even use generics in Go yet, mainly i just use it to make it so people can call my code with strings but my internal implementations remain in mutable bytes. they won't retract the mistake of making strings immutable

rust's immutable by default is exactly the opposite of how i think it should be done, and the immutables in Go are the biggest pressure on GC because you can't just make them into freelist buffers, they are immutable, they have to be disposed with the GC unless you want to dice with unsafe

also, in Go, effectively declaring a type is creating a prototype, because you can embed them in other types, you can alias them into new types, and now you can even declare new methods on the aliased type

Go lets you do all the things that you need, and rejects all the things you don't, in the overriding prime directive that no construct should be expensive to compile, or execute.

how do prototypes differ from interfaces and structures (named ordered lists of variables)

Dude one thing I learned early on is to never trust someone who says how many years of experience they have. Cause the biggest morons I've ever met in the powergen industry had the biggest "years of experience" stat on their lapel.

I'm always going to look down on code that has exactly zero tests and assume it doesn't work. Cause most likely the developer doesn't even know what it actually does. Just what they hope it does.

go has closures as well, and prototypes smell objecty to me
