rediscovering that movies are good

Which movies?

I watched American Beauty today

Lazy day for me. Nothing that has to be done. On vacation. Chillaxing.

@k00b any thoughts on letting see a history of a user's nyms? I sometimes see an item that's muted but when I open it, I don't recognize the nym, probably because the user had changed it at point. But I also don't know who this person used to be.

I can see arguments both ways so just wanted to bring up the discussion

reply

That'd be interesting. We also have a few related issues/things:

  1. an issue with @-mentions going stale after name changes
  2. we have a PR open to charge for nyms close in distance to existing nyms via a string metric (to prevent impersonation)

A nym change log would help with (1), and it'd give useful metadata for displaying (2) in satistics.

The main disadvantage would be that some folks may begin assuming a lower threat profile then change it for privacy reasons. Tricky.

We only allow alphanumerics and underscores in nyms, so WeAreAllSatoshi implemented a Damerau–Levenshtein distance IIRC.

But time is better spent removing friction right now given how friction-full the onboarding is.

reply

The problem with levenshtein distance is that it treats changing O to K the same as changing O to 0, it's more about number of operations distance than visual similarity

reply

We added a dictionary for visual similarity, but you're right we should use an algorithm that is purpose built for visual similarity.

The government isn't even good looking though. Trusting the government is more like Stockholm Syndrome

*Trusting the government is more like Stockholm Syndrome.

reply

The stripper analogy is way easier to get, barely anyone knows what Stockholm Syndrome even is. Plus, let's be real, it's way harder to meme that! Ahah

reply

I think the analogy is fine. Most people find power attractive.

Winter just started, and we already have had more than our average yearly snowfall. Two major storms before New Year's Eve.

reply

I'm jealous of your snow. It was 78 here yesterday.

reply

I'm jealous of your 78😀

reply

It's been in the low 60s here in Southern California

reply

Is that typical for this time of year?

reply

Fairly typical. Rainer than normal this week though. We had an "atmospheric river" pass through.

reply

I love these new terms they have come up with. In my day it was just weather. Now we get polar vortices, atmospheric rivers, bomb cyclones. It's exciting.

My heart dropped when I read this

I'm sorry. My initial post was less cryptic~~ it would have avoided said dropping of the heart.

Check the origin of his nym ;)

reply

I think I may need to check out the origin of my nym...or at least I don't get the rest in peace reference.

The real Scoresby died in March, 1857.

reply

Aha, seems like Cameron used the real Scoresby as reference for the whaler in Avatar who dies in the last installment. That was what triggered my not-so-cultured RIP reference.

reply

What you both might not know is that the real Scoresby who died in 1857 was named after the famed Mesopotamian whaler Scoresby of Akkad who saved Jonah from the whale as told in the ancient biblical text of Jonah.
