I did say I hadn't used it for over a year now. There was no wallet connectivity and you made comments that led me to believe you had no serious plans to add anything like that. Even now I still watch github to see if any relevant changes are being implemented.

More recently you've made your legal concerns clear. I can't fault you for that, but was disappointed that the possibility now seemed even more remote.

The Nostr NIP system has been incredibly useful, but it's reaching a point where fixing one thing breaks two others. Competing ideas and sketchy interoperability are issues. It might be time to take some parts of Nostr and allow wider review from mature standard bodies, leading to, enhanced scalability and interoperability.

Computer programming is iteratively discovering that you should actually be working on some other part of the code first.

Agile/Scrum fails because project management is 100x less dynamic about what you need to be working on than a good programmer is.

I just pulled - can't find run.sh !

If it drips freely to the floor (not on wall) just catch it in a bottle and drink it in the morning.

I see that it would have to be the master key. *grumble grumble hrumph*

People who are security-minded have a natural instinct to prepare for the worst case scenario. This leads them to imagine their enemies to be highly capable, murderous, colluding, nameless and faceless cabals. This is a good and correct instinct for preparing your defenses - you want to be able to defend even against this worst case scenario.

However, too many people use this same rubric wrongly when trying to assess actual events. The odds that an actual adversary is the worst case scenerio, is highly capable and in collusion with others who are highly capable, in any given actual event is very low. Incompetence is far more widespread than people realize. And parallel action (similar minds acting similarly) explains the vast majority of things that appear to be conspiracies.

To believe that Trump was shot as a false flag you have to believe that there was a shooter so perfect that he could perfectly clip Trump's ear even while Trump was gesticulating and rotating his head back and forth. You have to presume that they are murdering, willing to kill members of the audience to make it appear more real.

Just because that case is possible doesn't mean you should default to it. People who default to the belief that this was a false flag to garner sympathy for Trump, based entirely on the fact that an ear-clip is quite a lucky circumstance for Trump, do not have IMHO very good judgement. But they all probably make very good security-minded people because they are defaulting to the worst case scenario which is the right way for a security-minded person to think.

You're saying I have to add yet another relay just so I can see the Peter Hitchens of Nostr moan about stuff? Lol

Yes. Yes I will do that. And now I can see lol

Thank you 🫂

My original thought experiment from a couple years ago was: could you create one of those laptop screen protectors where the polarization encoding was a kind of one-time pad so that only you can see the screen with a special set of glasses. So many optical effects are quantum mechanical wave interference stuff, so I have always thought of using optical effects to make it hard for classical computers to decode things.

How all of this plays out in practice would be serious research endeavours i’d imagine 😅

Break it all now

Developers, users, we're all early adopters

Things breaking comes with the territory

And those were our choices

Rn the network is entirely ppl with faith and passion for the protocol

Ppl who can bear the pain of things breaking for a better future

Choices

1) break things now

2) break things later when nostr has millions of daily users and functional business models

3) set a broken protocol in stone forever and ever

We take the hour and divide it into minutes. This is the first pass at dividing the hour, and we call the collection of these minutiae the "minutes".

Then we take the minute divisions, and divide them again, for a second time. That's why we call them "seconds".

I feel a sense of anxiety when I begin typing something into telegram or signal and then choose not to send the message because I know the other person has seen "hodlbod is typing".

I've only noticed this because when typing messages in Coracle that I then choose not to send I have a small moment of panic, then relief when I realize my conversation partner is none the wiser. Sometimes it's simpler to just not reply, and sending involuntary signals makes the act of communication more complex.

Are typing hints a dark pattern? Or are they a healthy analog of real-life communication (in imitation of e.g. body language)? Maybe the principle of designing social media experiences to "imitate real life" is flawed? Maybe new media shouldn't imitate life, because they are distinctly their own thing?

you said it, and I quote: "that WERE more free"

I wasn't talking about the past...

Too bad I don't know either of those languages 😅 But it's actually not the compiler that's all that complex, it's writing the UI for it. The compiler has one or two hairy functions but they should be pretty easy to port over to something other than javascript.
