When you want a skin so badly the first time that you’d pay for it, but you can’t:

literally one of the few skins you can't buy

And why does the default skin look like it came straight out of Fallout:

Interesting. Its now down to 14.8k after resetting.

If you do not open so often Zeus, I suggest to keep the option "reset EGS at startup" always on. Yes, it will take a bit more time to get ready, but you always have a fresh LN graph and ready to make payments.

I'll try that! Thank you.

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 2m

Fun fact: many users think that this EGS thing is a weakness for Zeus and they always compare it with Phoenix that is always ready when you open it.

But they do not think what actually does that graph sync at startup or they do not care too much. The graph sync locally on user device is a big difference than Phoenix model where the graph sync is on the Acinq server side. That's why Phoenix knows all the txs where/from are going.

Is well explained here: https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/privacy#client-side-path-finding

Two things I'd like to write about:

determining the optimal minimum viable product/feature
how much time to spend researching a solution relative to the estimated time for implementing it

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 2h

For #2, is technical debt what you have in mind?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 1h

not exactly but doing more research does lower technical debt. there are diminishing returns for research and research costs you time that takes away from customer feedback. though, LLMs truncate the time required to do basic research by a lot, so it's something i almost always do now.

with both (1) and (2) it feels more like art than science and historically i've leaned on my intuition which is hard to share with others. that's why i need to write about it - there's probably some kind of guide one can use without all the pain required to build intuition.

we often say bad code has a smell but these dimensions of product/feature development can also smell. in either case there are probably rules for odor fighting that i haven't bothered to articulate.

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 1h

i've been using "territory owner" instead of "founder" because founder implies they created it. "Owner" is fine, with the understanding that they own the rights for the duration of the lease. Good enough for me

I lost my Bitcoin in a Cloudflare outage...

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @south_korea_ln 7h

SN not affected by the ongoing Cloudflare issue, yay...

In the simplest form of the internet, a computer asks for a website and is provided the data by a server, which is then loaded on the screen. But in those simple setups the servers may become overwhelmed by requests, and run slowly or break entirely as a result.

Cloudflare and similar companies instead sit between the computers and the original websites themselves. Those internet infrastructure providers can then use their more resilient data centres to provide websites quickly and reliably.

From here.

Maybe SN will become affected in the future when receiving more traffic?

I asked my fifth graders to write about their favourite memory this year. I even used the trending term core memory for good measure.

This boy wrote: Mr Heng shouting (favourite theacher) and camp. 🙂

I’m honoured to be mentioned in the same breath as the Primary 5 camp aka the supreme highlight of their primary school existence. Zero mention of his on-again, off-again girlfriend!

His spelling error also broke my heart a little bit and reminded me of the purpose of us public school educators. To work for the benefit of average children coming from typical households.
