I would suggest using almost exclusively custodial lightning going forward to avoid these things. You have engaged in some noncompliance it sounds like.

I would suggest walking into the IRS building and begging for forgiveness. They usually work with people who tell on themselves.

Fair.

It’s a great tension.

We are so far from what it should look like we want none of it.

Consent of the governed limited government is 99.999% smaller than it is today but it is still a good thing

Reestablish limited government.

It’s the only way.

This is how kids are brainwashed in schools about the government. No wonder we are invaded by clueless statists...

Hitler WAS government.

Government kills more people than anything else.

100+ million in the last century from just two regimes. Lenin and Mao. Not to mention all the other governments that resulted in million of deaths.

well, i just like to point out that the three main guys that invented it are some of the most influential guys in computer programming... the co-inventor of C, the Newsqueak and Plan 9 OS guy, and the guy who built the javascript engine used in Chrome

and of course the functional languages have to use pointers but the inordinate size of memory usage during compilation hints at an incredible amount of memory utilization that just doesn't plague Go builds at all, in fact, a full application that was comparable to Bitcoin Core (with GUI and miner built in) that I worked on, compiled in under 20 seconds given all deps were cached, and you wait half an hour for bitcoin core, and i've built Simplex from source, that is also a 10-15 minute exercise and will blow up on a system with no swap and only 16gb memory

i do hope you still write a bit of code from time to time, i can never imagine ever quitting this, i've loved it from the moment i first saw a commodore 64 BASIC program printing some silly nonsense on a display at a shop, can't keep my fingers to myself lol

Es antifragilidad pura, falta mucho camino pero como dice el dicho: no hay mal que dure 100 años.

Espero que podamos hacer de este lugar un refugio para los que ven venir el negro futuro que traen esas ideas

Nosotros ya sufrimos el populismo y la demagogia muchisimo tiempo. Concretamente desde 1916

Hermoso día de lluvia ⛈️

functional languages achieve much of this at the expense of massive amounts of memory copying, and if you add concurrency to the features, because there is good reasons to, you wind up with a problem that most of the time you should be using pointers and mutexes

and this doubly applies to the compiler itself, as with most languages, the compiler is written in the language itself, via a "bootstrap" method, i have seen haskell compilations OOM kill almost as often as i've seen badly written C++

compilation requires the use of massive tree structures and this combined with a pass by value policy leads to a LOT of garbage

and no, being a good programmer is only part of the story... if we were talking about carpentry, would you agree that frilly decorative crochet pieces around the tools are going to not impede with the work at hand?

that's how i see most of the languages...

i read python, so much repetition, such a poor visual impact of the general pattern of syntax

java, so many ridiculously long names and multi-hop paths due to the OOP... and C++ and javascript both also suffer from this extremely noisy visual aspect

in Go, you can often spot a bug just by that first momentary glance by the shape of the code

it is often tempting to forget to obey one of the first laws of go: fail fast - handle the error case before you handle success, and it always bites you on the arse, and this is an example of something that can be recognised instantly at a glance by the underscore where the programmer is pretending teh error case does not matter

it almost always matters, except in a few rare cases like running out of entropy

and yes, there is several critical parts of the Go standard library that push noisy, stuttering things on you like the context library, which is used to enable clean shutdown and timeouts of threads... not saying it's perfect, just that if you follow the rules in your code you less often have to go back and debug later on when things start going wrong

Who wants to bet me 100,000 sats that Coinbase will list ordinals before they implement lightning?

ETFs, indeed, have shown a neutral start this week. #Bitcoin
