That moment when you write 200 lines of code without testing and it works on first try

Never gets old

you just haven't stress tested it enough...!

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek 28 Sep 2023

Yes, I added more test vectors then and the last one indeed failed, lol

Also I exaggerated, I thought it's around 200 lines that I wrote for NIP-44 but it's 150. Now I feel bad

I'm seeing a lot of "social consensus" and "community values" talk coming from Ethereum supporters wrt Lido's increasing dominance over the staking marketshare (~32%). There isn't really a way to limit Lido's growth short of a socially coordinated effort to slash / censor them.

(Yes this is schadenfreude.)

I'm beginning to implement pomodoro ... I could spend my whole day reading/commenting on SN.

In college I would do 45 on 15 off. During my 15, I'd play an iphone port of Joust. SN will be my joust now.

I am wondering if having a pomodoro timer on my phone is actually the best idea. I think I need something standalone.

ᕦ(ò_óˇ) Day 12 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens

Tried to wake up at 7:30AM today so I could work for 1-2 hours on delphi.market. Didn't work, I just got and swiped the alarm off. Then I slept until 10AM, lol.

WIthout my streak, I probably would not have gotten out of bed early enough. I tried to go for a run today again, but it still didn't feel right. Just went for a 30min walk then and bought an iced coffee (sugar addiction probably) to drink it in a park before going home.

An elderly man sat down on the other end of the bench and after a few minutes, he wanted to show me something. At first I thought he is begging for money and the text on his phone is just the translation in German. Kind of sad that this was my expectation. But it wasn't. It was a photo of a restaurant sign for handwritten stuff. I don't remember exactly but it was something about women no longer cooking for men and the restaurant now filling this niche of serving men food.

I tried to smile since I didn't understand it properly. My mind was more occupied with guessing what this is about than just reading the text, lol. For some reason, I find it hard to read stuff when people are waiting for me to read it. But he then explained it to me (it's the sign of a restaurant from a friend) and went on a rant about woman today vs back in his days. He mentioned that women nowadays want to be handled like queens and men have no say anymore. I answered that I think not all women are like that and men are also responsible if they let women behave like that. He said I am right but he is too old now.

We then talked some more after I was initially worried about where this conversation might be going. We talked about his old days in the Soviet Union and how everything was great before Gorbatschow took over. Also talked about inflation, the vaccine and other stuff but I am too lazy go into detail here. I mentioned that I am working in the bitcoin space and I hope that bitcoin is going to fix a lot of stuff since most problems arise from governments having too much power and people having too much faith in authority. He agreed but he didn't seem interested in bitcoin so I didn't go deeper.

I was surprised when he was the first to stand up and end the conversation. He wanted to go to a Greece to fix the necklace of his daughter (we also talked about how nationalities weren't important in the Soviet Union before Gorbatschow). We exchanged names and I tried to thank him for the conversation in Russian by saying "пожалуйста". I wasn't sure if that's the right word so I asked him. Turned out that is actually "you're welcome". "спасибо" is "thank you" :)

Tip of the day!

ONLY for Saloon shitposters

Recently SN team implemented LNURL LUD-12 (add comments into a payment). Don't forget to drop some sats to them for this amazing work. What does it means? This is a very important LNURL feature that you can use it:

you can send DM to the receiver, just with 1 sat
you can attach a specific message with a payment. Let's say you want to donate to somebody 21000 sats and send a nice message to it. A nice way to send greetings.
remember that these messages also could be read by SN admins, SN is still a custodial service, so do not abuse their work.

How to do it? Simple:

If you are not using SN, go to any SN user profile, click on his yellow button with the LN address and will popup a QR code. Scan that QR with a LN wallet that support to attach a message to a payment. Add the amount and the comment and done. The receiver will see a nice message. You can use also the LN address directly if your wallet support it.
If you are using SN account, just go to your SN wallet and type the LN address of the SN user or any external LN address, select LN address tab and add the min 1 sat amount and also the comment / message (is the last field).

@k00b - maybe could add a simple link to this modal payment screen directly into each SN user profile? Like saying "send a DM here".

I would add one more detail: you can even hit repeat payment, then easily send different msg to the same receiver; real cool.

Learned from my summer clothes-making mistakes, always making things in advance instead of in that season.! Now, I'm exploring a bit to find good quality wool and cashmere to make winter clothes, but it takes so much work to source good fabric, and lots of learning at the same time.

Fun fact: there are only three main natural fabrics to make clothes: cotton, silk and wool. Once you find the good sources and have 1-2 skilled tailors with all your measurements ( never depend on one ), then you are pretty much free to make whatever you want, even if you are on the other side of the world, like a decentralized cloth making:)

There could be an ordinal theory but for saloon comments:

ordinal theory for sats:

common: Any sat that is not the first sat of its block uncommon: The first sat of each block rare: The first sat of each difficulty adjustment period epic: The first sat of each halving epoch legendary: The first sat of each cycle mythic: The first sat of the genesis block

ordinal theory for saloon comments:

common: any comment that is not the first in the saloon uncommon: first comment in a saloon rare: the first comment in the saloon in each difficulty adjustment period epic: the first comment in each halving epoch legendary: the first comment in each cycle mythic: the first comment in the first saloon

since I also didn't know what is meant with cycles, I am adding the quote from the handbook here:

Cycles: Every six halvings, something magical happens: the halving and the difficulty adjustment coincide. This is called a conjunction, and the time period between conjunctions a cycle. A conjunction occurs roughly every 24 years. The first conjunction should happen sometime in 2032._

wanted to add a category for every 100th comment in a saloon but I leave this as an exercise to the reader
