New Comedy/Jokes territory on Stacker News

More jokes aren't exactly a problem, right?

What can a good laugh can do?

Well, it can leave you cracking so hard, you forget your rent is due.

That doesn't mean humour is just a cope, it's the flavour of life, language of the Gods.

So why not crack open StackerNews every day for your daily dose of comedy, dad jokes and puns from SN Comedy/Jokes territory.

And while this territory would be responsible for lightening up your days, the jokes you steal here and end up under-delivering somewhere else would be totally your fault. 

Happy stacking Stackers.

10x Faster TypeScript Release by Microsoft

Typescript and Javascript devs have a new reasons to be happy.

And this time it's not about another Javascript framework, it's an update to Typescript by Microsoft.

The big promise is that it's10x faster.

And if you're wondering what changed? Well, ironically they just rewrote it in Golang from Javascript.

Which says what exactly about Javascript?

Even then, can't help but wonder where the best gains will be seen, faster page loading time?

Should Btctestnetcoins.com Die?

Yeah hackers are always prying on bitcoin projects.

Over a year ago I had this stupid idea to build a bitcoin testnet faucet.

I call it stupid because I was perfectly aware of the fact that I was spending my time building something that made little economic sense(was partly wrong).

Despite that, I knew that it'd be useful and I just loved building on bitcoin.

Long story short, after to build the thing, an MVP for btctestnetcoins.com. 

It/I got "hacked"?

Someone managed to circumnavigate Google Captcha( a tool built by a $2 triilion company) and drained all the testnet coins I had to share.

This broke my heart, because I thought it be worth it to build a faucet that never went down, that most bitcoiners would depend on for years to come.

Now, even after the heart-wrecking incident, I got a feeling some plebs might want somewhere to get tbtc. But I don't know whether I should build it.

But I got a better ways to build the faucet to prevent hacks.

Should I still kill this project ?

Why I’m Pausing BitEscrow to Build Nummus: A Better Bitcoin Ecosystem

TristanBietsch

My 2 sats? You can try building a BitEscrow plugin for BTCPayServer, Zaprite and other Bitcoin payment processors bitcoiners use for payments.

The world will soon catch up to BitEscrow, could it be that many people aren't doing transactions/payments with Bitcoin?

About Nummus, would you say it's an exchange?
