Today I learnt that shell treats numbers as octal: $((10#$2)) vs $(($2)) when my second argument was 08, completely messing up a script. I only noticed it two weeks into the calculation. fml

multiple sources in

102 sats \ 3 replies \ @k00b 2h

multiple sources in with a non-custodial out (zap with CCs and reward sats paying part of the sybil fee)

the coolest thing about these aren't the charts. it's that the data backing the chart isn't deduced after the fact. it's displaying the data that's been recorded exactly as it has been recorded (the visualization has even unintentionally helped me catch bugs). (and the data model is extensible, ie can easily allow for more splitting.)

with forwards

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 1h

how will forwards work with mixed CCs/sats

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 1h

When this ships, for receivers they'll work as they do now (ie CCs only). In some later release, each forward will be an independent, fractional zap (ie potentially non-custodial).

Sats are reward sats. Lightning is some noncustodial source of sats

I wonder what's more important in today's world, assuming you have a 5-year time horizon and just plan to figure out what's next after that

A. Ability to raise capital B. Ability to deliver product

85 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 10h

Historically, if you could deliver product, raising capital is easy, and delivering product is hard whether you had money or not.

As machines get smarter, delivering product should get easier. At the limit, delivering product will amount to transferring money to some machine process that delivers product. At that point, product outcomes differ only as far as the abilities of the machine process that capital raisers have access to differ (assuming product delivery isn't a true commodity). So imo the only thing that changes as we approach the limit is what it means to deliver product and the ability to deliver product will always be more important until it's a true commodity.

So I'd ask, what will delivering product look like in five years? Meaning what skills should someone develop other than capital raising that will help them deliver product best?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Msd0457890 5h

I think you are very right in what you say. I think what is needed would be more integration between the product and the person who uses it and the tools they have for that purpose.

We do not maintain a redundant store of unspent outputs. We just store the chain, which includes everything necessary to validate. We split the process into 4 major loosely-coupled phases: (1) headers, (2) blocks, (3) validate, (4) confirm. Headers and Confirm organize blocks into a "chain" and are thus totally ordered. Blocks are downloaded fully in parallel given a stronger candidate chain. Validation is performed fully in parallel given a contiguous set of downloaded blocks. Confirmation is sequential for validated blocks. Milestone bypasses unnecessary checks in the validation/confirmation phases given the presumption of a previously-validated header chain.

Many people like to visit this souvenir shop because its unique array of products gives it a _______ feel.

weird
strange
quirky
eccentric

Crafted the above question. What do you think the answer is? ☝🏻

Yet 12-year-olds in Singapore are expected to know these subtle differences. Many consider English as their native language even though we speak horrible English known as Singlish haha

24 sats \ 4 replies \ @Scoresby 13h

quirky, but eccentric is okay, too. give us 15 years and weird might work.

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @cryotosensei 13h

Thank you for responding!

I get the idea that eccentric is used to describe people’s old habits.

(of a person or their behaviour) unconventional and slightly strange

24 sats \ 2 replies \ @Scoresby 13h

eccentric definitely has an "odd" flavor, but it's sometimes positive as in "unique." quirky is mostly positive and more lighthearted.

💰This week Comics & Meme ~Design bounty #51 is about :

Bitcoin Hieronymus Bosch

Check it out here #1195923 or simply use the sticker shortcode to create something fun in your next SN post and comments.

![Hieronymus Bosch](https://m.stacker.news/71389)

This is last JABBB to be published for now, due to the lack of engagement. Has been fun, for me at least, to dig into the ideas behind each one of these stickers. It allowed me to learn more about bitcoin and western culture. Thanks @spiral.

There're still over 40k sats up for grab on previous bounties, enjoy.
