Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Would you attach your Lightning Node to SN now that we have CCs?
We need a terminator prequel ... Terminator: Slopocalypse ...
It'll chronicle the death of the social web. The time before our feeds were just algorithmically served slop.
I started writing a I like big butts parody, but it's taking too long.
Use ai to finish it
I finished it the old fashioned way: #1403096
crossposting is delayed another day. i depleted my fire fighting juice again.
nice one. next time try with a meme. Will have more impact :)
I didn't see anyone else mention it today, but I didn't get my rewards payout.
cc: @k00b and/or @sox
My 2026 wish is that SN will remove entirely all rewards.
That would be a cool experiment. Where would the sybil fees go, then?
SN exclusively
I'd like them to take a cut, but it doesn't seem like k00b wants to do that.
Payed now here
aws scaled up, then assumed pending instances were healthy, then took the healthy instances offline, only leaving pending ones. wtf.
Reading SN
great film to show a family or a friend this holiday season:
#777769
lol 5-way zap split with a 5-way crosspost
Can we crosspost existing existing posts to new territories?
Not in this version but maybe in a future one depending on the uptake of crossposting in its current form.
For the record, that future one is the one I want.
I realize it has a bunch of more complicated issues to sort through than this first version.
that's better
Are we gonna get a deal on crossposting?
No deal.
How much are comments gonna cost?
No deal either. The cost of all comment reply costs combined.
Found two good books at goodwill today: a Linux Field Manual, and Rebel Code: Inside Linux and the Open Source Revolution (Glyn Moody). Cost: $1 and travel. Not bad...
Insider always.
Probably an insider. The point of prediction markets is to elicit information from whoever has it, not to be fair.
I really don't give a shit about the situation in Venezuela. People are making too much noise for this. Is like watching a football match that you know that it was arranged previously. Is just a joke.
My sushi rice experiments went a little too well last night and I ate so much rice that I feel like a different person today.
I've come to think of rice as a substrate for flavorful liquids. It serves that purpose better than just about anything.
Are you talking about gohan? I love it in Japanese foods, not too much to give space for the salmon.
That translates to 'cooked rice' afaict so yes. I found it too easy to eat on its own - kind of like bread.
Programming things is sometimes deceptively tricky. For UI things, the trickiness seems proportional to the number of possible interactions. The deception happens when a UI element is visually small relative to the number of possible interactions. It violates our intuition because the interaction density is abnormally high.
I feel like this could be generalized into a rule about the complexity and size of the input range(s) and the resulting trickiness, i.e. bug potential.
I usually caution folks on things that have what I call "high interaction density," but I sense that it doesn't land as well as it could.
"state-space explosion" sounds more menacing but it's even more abstract
surprised that macos doesn't ship with a
watchcommand.neither do BSDs - it's a Linux thing.
fair, i can imagine the arguments against it. and i never got as comfortable shelling as i should have.

@sox is there a known issue with caching in regards to the
Previewfunctionality?There is one regarding the full Reader https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/2730.
But not for Preview, because it's updated as soon as the editor content changes. What's up?
Mine is not updating. Will raise an issue in github
Refreshing cleared the problem, so maybe it's just a problem with my browser.
It's not! Just reproduced it, it only happens with
{:toc}and embeds, fixed!
yeah i realized it was happening with embedded youtube links too
what about now?
no
I found a original

Cómo ganar más de lo que gasto aquí? Qué debo hacer para ganar 100 sat al menos diario a enlázate aquí y ayúdame a ganar y todos ganamos más https://litebits.io/ref/RVNQ3KIY
Si vienes a SN para "ganar sats" te estas equivocando.
SN es "pagar para postear" y no "postear para ganar".
It all seems to be over 😂
#1401634
just some random thoughts because I like this idea:
@rblb might pair nicely with nostr game engine.
It so happens that i am currently (and secretly) working on a 2d and isometric renderer for nge that can import maps straight from tiled editor
You're making me think of a potential bitcoin mod for Civilization.
Once Bitcoin is researched, all energy producing infrastructure also produces money, but it would be scaled and capped globally, with a similar halving rate dynamic.
It can be integrated into Open Tycoon Transport https://www.openttd.org
Has anyone?
It’d be cool to make it an age, The Bitcoin Age, or it could almost become its own win condition haha, where you need you complete :
You win thru hyperbitcoinization!
I haven't played Civ VII yet, but the idea of it being a new age with fundamentally different mechanics is really cool.
That would be pretty cool!
I am attempting to post my Books & Articles Weekly, but something is very wrong. @k00b , have you been making some code changes that have perhaps gone a bit haywire?
My old markdown template is out of whack, and I can't seem to properly insert a png file I use every week.
I can't copy-paste from other SN posts either. It's just not working.
I tried copying the content from the last #1383100/edit post in edit mode on Android, but I can't paste it. It's not even showing up in my clipboard.
@sox
A fix is on its way! Thanks for reporting, and sorry!
Got it, preparing a fix right now!
@jakoyoh629 wanna try now?
You can't copy/paste at all? Like you copy from somewhere and you can't paste it in the editor? Because I'm having an hard time trying to reproduce this :(
I'm glad someone else is experiencing this. I'm questioning my sanity.
A product of my insanity maybe! I'll investigate right now and come back with results. Thanks!
Thanks
The PNG file bug is also interesting, what is happening there?
Can you let me know when it's implemented? Thanks.
Absolutely! I'll ping you when everything is ready to be used here and deployed later today. Sorry for the trouble!
I disabled enhanced copy/paste because since our latest Android bugfix we're now using the
rich textversion of our new editor, and it was leaking some formatting right inside this editor.So now we're only allowing
plain textcopy/paste which doesn't respect spacings:example:
some textif copied from a post it becomes
some textNow, I knew that this would cause some problems or missed expectations so I was waiting for some feedback before acting.
Is this what you've been experiencing?
I insert a png image file each week. This week, it included format metadata in the preview window for some reason. Regarding the text, I copy and paste a template with markdown for various sections and categories. They are now completely disorganized and unreadable. Keep in mind I'm doing this on a Ubuntu laptop, not android.
Okay I see, I'll test the upload thing right away!
Can I ask you to give me the markdown template? Use whatever you like, pastebin etc.
If you can't, don't worry, I'll find a way ^^

it had a scratchiness to it, inclined to think it came from the drone, but they're making them super good now, I'm rather inspired, boys, so, it probably came from the miner. Not surprised at this point. On the south side the condition is sickening, and getting worse. What are these miners still doing here? How do they survive? Look a them - utterly deranged, their teeth are falling out from eating unfiltered spam. Disgusting. GMSN.
excellent basic-instincts sample;
recommended two books:
this is an amazing piece of writing. what is it?
thanks. the south side.
the south side of what? help me out
south side of the block
I got onto bitcoin recently and am having a look around
I'll try be consistent here on SN, but there is so much going on - on the block, in the cloud and in my pants
what about you? what are you doing here?
After being sick on New Year's Eve, finally now that I feel better I can go back to being a person and no longer an earthworm under my covers
welcome back worm

Cute formula I came up with for estimating how long it takes you to retire when saving in bitcoin, expressed as a function of your savings rate:
N = - log(S) / log(1 + A)
Where,
N = Number of years until retirement
S = Savings rate (your savings divided by post-tax income)
A = Expected appreciation of assets (inflation adjusted)
Example: If you save 30% of your income to buy bitcoin which appreciates at 20% PA, then the formula predicts it would take ~6.6 years to retire.
Assumptions: No hedonic adjustment, cap gains not factored in, assumes you're starting from 0, bitcoin grows with no volatility, etc. In other words, it's retarded, as all price models invariably are.
__@_'-'
Thanks for sharing but I often question models that have such a high CAGR. What if bitcoin falls to 3% CAGAR for the next ten years then this and all the bitcoin treasury company models are broken
All models are wrong. Some are useful. I think these are useful in informing our expectations.

XXdays?XXXk sats?Leave your
npuborNIP05below, and we'll verify and gift you the SN badges according to your SN achievements.Read more: #711428
We should discourage these badges for "how much you earned on SN".
SN is not for earning sats.
Good point, stacking sats should not be the goal, but the consequence. We will probably retire these soon as we are thinking on making new ones for real contributors and territory founders.
What else should we provide badges for?
Well well well, I finally have Nostr!

You got some badges already :) Thinking about creating new badges, like Territory Founder badge, 256 and 512 cowboy days badge. Or better 356 days?
Oh I can’t see them
Not sure which clients show NIP-58 🤔 Anyhow, you can see yours here.
Wow! Lol didn’t know I was badged up
