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!

Just had a thought about how SN is a little bit like the combination of "reddit" with posts and votes, and "twitter" with the feed-like daily Saloon.

What if in the future, subs could "build" a new saloon for that sub, a new daily post for people to talk in. I don't think one general saloon scales to the amount of pioneers that I foresee on the horizon

I don’t remember where I heard this, (maybe SN’s Q3 update live call?) that the goal is to increase the max forwards on a post from 5 to 10 to help facilitate better round table discussions. IIRC I made that maximum a constant so hopefully this is a one line change 🤞

I’m also not sure why I just remembered this lol

Good morning everyone!!! Happy day of the dead, here in México we celebrate our dead and leave them offerings like food and drinks on a shrine we make for them or on their grave. It's an awesome tradition. Anyways, I apologize for yesterday it was busy, had to setup the shrine and the horror house for my students. So I didn't have enough time to post but I did send you some good vibes like always. The weekend is almost here, let's step it up and give this week our best. Have a wonderful Thursday and be well and stay frosty my friend.

Morning folks! Final reminder, there's been a lot of discussion over at the book club and there's so much room for anyone to poke and prod and give their perspectives on some giant topics.

I got a little carried away, maybe, with the prompts, and kept adding them till late in the evening, so if you checked in early, there's more to sink your teeth into. But this part of the book was really eye-opening, so I regret nothing. If you want to have hot takes to deploy this Thanksgiving, part 3 is where it's at for sure.

Thanks to everyone who took part, and to the zappers, who have been generous again!

I will check it out. When the book came out I read it, but I started again after you began the book club, reading more critically knowing you will pose challenging questions. I'm not quite caught up to where you are now. I can see these posts having a long life. If something occurs to me in the future I will want to discuss it further. Thanks once again for doing this.

600 sats \ 3 replies \ @elvismercury 2 Nov 2023

The specifics of this book club aside, I think the "long life" idea is really interesting. I would like it to have a long life too, if only so that people like you can find the posts when you want them, and feel like it's useful to participate in the discussion even once the smoke has cleared. Many topics -- both in and out of the btc space -- strike me as benefiting from the evergreen model.

This is really the opposite from the normal message board / forum / social media thing, where content goes stale immediately. But what social and technical developments could support such an interaction model? I don't think anyone really knows. Quora does it, I guess; Stackoverflow; and blogs. But SN does not fit any of those models.

Plus the desire for evergreen-ness is my own value, not a value that I know that the SN peeps necessarily hold, in which case the question becomes: can the thing I want be brought into existence through my own behaviors, with no special efforts by the people who are building the platform? Hmmm.

@siggy47 and others hack around our limitations in this respect through their bios: https://stacker.news/siggy47

Some casual random ideas:

a wikipedia-like explore page
lists as first class citizens ie...
- lists ranked, browsable, and zappable
- lists that can contain lists
better 'related' content recommendations
add an 'explore related' action to any piece of content even comments
make linking/searching past content native to the editor ... kind of like @

These are great. I like @siggy47's method a lot -- generally, I love when people find ways to use what's there in creative ways, and he did.

Other than that, I like all your ideas, esp #5. Being able to fluidly talk about and refer to other things is so key -- I think of it as capital formation: building new, more complex, and more valuable goods out of simpler goods.

I think perhaps a lower-hanging fruit that might support a number of these things is a kind of 'scrapbook' feature, where you can save little pieces of things: posts, comments, your own thoughts as pertain to those things. The existing notifications tab is kind of a poor man's version of this, for me -- I remember things that I've said or replied to, and they're in notifications, so that's how I find them again when I want to talk about them. Seems relatively easy (compared to the others) to do a half-baked version of that.

I guess I could just do that manually, with a text file or something? Maybe I'll try that and see how it works. Although I guess that's not a very good solution for the average user.

Definitely not.

The existing notifications tab is kind of a poor man's version of this, for me -- I remember things that I've said or replied to, and they're in notifications, so that's how I find them again when I want to talk about them.

This is interesting! I don't really use my notifications like that. I do go to my profile to look for my recent stuff though. hmmmm

Please share whatever you come up with! I find you guys invent better solutions for yourselves via hacks than whatever we'd come up with.

A few stackers put their first item number in their bios like, "I've been on stacker news since #1120" so we added that to everyone's profile. Likewise, seeing everyone organize their favorite posts on their bios has us thinking of building a feature to better support that.

Ah, I was thinking a pushup at a time, so you'd have to be able to do 100 pushups in a row in 100 days. I tried that last year and didn't make it.

But I'm with you on the 1 additional per day! I'm going to do it right now. And I'll raise you 1 sit up, too.

218 sats \ 0 replies \ @orthwyrm 2 Nov 2023

Yes, my plan is:

1 push-up on day 201
2 push-ups on day 202

99 push-ups on day 299
100 push-ups on day 300

I can do more than a handful per day already, but this is just to establish the routine.

I will not commit to adding sit-ups just yet, but if I hit my target then I'll add a new exercise on day 301!

I stopped working on my citadel end of september because of these rains. You can't work in a mud and also to fill up the earthbags you need a certain humidity level of the dirt, in order to be able to mold it correctly.
