Good morning everyone. It is finally Friday, the week has been long and draining, now I am looking forward to relaxing and sleeping for more than 3 hours.

Anyone have an idea with what’s going on with the mempool/tx fees? I’ve taken a look and it appears to be very few Ordinals. Something else is going on. Any ideas?

Update from myself: I did not consider all this extra hash power (+25%!) coming on line to get a piece of these crazy fees, 8-10 blocks an hour right now!

Still, would like to know the source of it all.

I've been doing IF this week and it's nice to have some structure to my eating again.

Working long days with a 1+ hour roundtrip walking commute (now 1.5) made my eating window on average 14 hours. I've gotten it back to around 10.

I'd like to restrict food types next. Then maybe I'll get back to yoga. It's been fun neglecting my health for the last year but I can already see where this goes.

I layered dry fasting on top of my normal IF. I highly recommend it, unless you have super low body fat.

406 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 9 Nov 2023

I've never done dry fasting. Lots of water fasting though.

I have plenty of fat. I'll have to give it a shot at some point.

407 sats \ 4 replies \ @Undisciplined 9 Nov 2023

I only recently learned about it, but basically water is one of the products of metabolizing stored fat, so you don't need to drink extra water. There are supposedly benefits of producing water internally, beyond just burning body fat, like flushing out intercellular junk.

Thank you for the tip, with the lifestyle we live these days it is difficult to lose weight so any tip that can help me lose some weight is welcome.

I don't know if you already have a fasting schedule you like, but I basically stop eating and drinking around 6:00 pm and then just put off eating and drinking until later in the next morning.

Most diets fail because they're unpleasant to follow, so I take it pretty easy with this stuff.

370 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 9 Nov 2023

It also makes sense in terms of all the framing that fasting is presented in: giving the body a rest. My wife already gives me enough crap about the color of my pee though lol

@k00b and other devs in the know: can you explain why GraphQL is positioning itself as good for APIs? Is it bc a client can request stuff without having to care so much about how the schema are designed, without having to hit as many endpoints, etc? Or are you doing graph algorithms someplace in there, computing PageRank, centrality measures, etc?

618 sats \ 9 replies \ @k00b 9 Nov 2023

I view it like a standardized RPC interface. As a standard, there a bunch of amazing tools and libraries and features you get for free that you'd otherwise have to provide yourself. (e.g. our entire clientside cache is a GraphQL cache. I haven't written any special caching code from scratch ... the clientside library just has it baked in.) I've found GraphQL to be the easiest API to build and use once you get over the learning curve.

REST's main strength is a flat learning curve, but once an API gets sufficiently complex, it's a total pain to maintain.

GraphQL's abstraction seems to scale constant or logarithmic in terms of mental overhead as new "endpoints" are added. While something like REST or even a bespoke RPC interface scales at least linearly in mental overhead. ie I add new GraphQL endpoints with relatively little trepidation.

0 sats \ 8 replies \ @elvismercury 9 Nov 2023

How can you see what endpoints are supported? You linked here yesterday, but how to tell the things that you can ask for? For REST stuff you'd get a list of them; is it meant to be something I can infer somehow, based on the schema you provided?

0 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b 9 Nov 2023

These are all the item endpoints or queries in graphql terms.

  extend type Query {
    items(sub: String, sort: String, type: String, cursor: String, name: String, when: String, from: String, to: String, by: String, limit: Int): Items
    item(id: ID!): Item
    pageTitleAndUnshorted(url: String!): TitleUnshorted
    dupes(url: String!): [Item!]
    related(cursor: String, title: String, id: ID, minMatch: String, limit: Int): Items
    search(q: String, sub: String, cursor: String, what: String, sort: String, when: String, from: String, to: String): Items
    auctionPosition(sub: String, id: ID, bid: Int!): Int!
    itemRepetition(parentId: ID): Int!
  }

If I wanted to get 100 of your most recent posts for instance, I'd query for them like this:

query items(name: 'elvismercury', limit: 100) {
    id
    createdAt
    title
    text
}

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @elvismercury 9 Nov 2023

curl --request POST \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --url 'https://stacker.news/api/graphql' \
  --data "{\"query\":\"query { items(name: \\\"elvismercury\\\", limit: 100) { id createdAt title text }}\"}"

{"errors":[{"message":"Cannot query field \"id\" on type \"Items\".","locations":[{"line":1,"column":51}],"extensions":{"code":"GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED"}},{"message":"Cannot query field \"createdAt\" on type \"Items\".","locations":[{"line":1,"column":54}],"extensions":{"code":"GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED"}},{"message":"Cannot query field \"title\" on type \"Items\".","locations":[{"line":1,"column":64}],"extensions":{"code":"GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED"}},{"message":"Cannot query field \"text\" on type \"Items\".","locations":[{"line":1,"column":70}],"extensions":{"code":"GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED"}}]}

Thoughts? (for the sake of PoW, I tried to troubleshoot already, but I don't know what I'm doing, so I'll omit the flailing.)

228 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b 9 Nov 2023

Oh I oversimplified that example (accidentally).

This should do it:

query items(name: 'elvismercury', sort: 'user', limit: 100) {
    items {
        id
        createdAt
        title
        text
    }
}

One more on all this stuff.

I wanted to play around with some queries without obsessing over how many \\ I need to escape quotes from bash, so I went here and put in the server you mentioned yesterday as the endpoint:

https://stacker.news/api/graphql

It can't connect. It seems like it should be able to connect, but maybe I'm doing something really dumb. If so, is there some other tool that would let me run queries in a less frictiony way that I could use?

@orthwyrm you should really add some squats to your pushup regimen, it really changes the vibe.

Also: what's your plan for when you can't do all the pushups in one set? Multiple trips to the bathroom, or something else?

152 sats \ 1 reply \ @orthwyrm 9 Nov 2023

I considered squats / bodyweight rows for variety but figured I'd keep the challenge simple for now!

I didn't have sets in mind when I started, the goal is just to get all pushups in. It's easier to get it all done and dusted in the mornings though.

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @elvismercury 9 Nov 2023

I dunno what your current state of fitness is, but it will be pretty interesting to see how long before 1 set doesn't do it :)

I guess only one thing at a time has its virtues -- you're going to need something to do once btc crosses $100k, after all.

The west will continue to lead by example. For a long time they showed how to do things. But going forward they will show how not to do things. They will make everyone else look good.

So disaster is coming to the west. The idea of a free and open society is going to break down. But maybe only in the west. The looting will spread like wild fire and it will take generations to stabilize. There will be pockets of stability in the west, the trick is to find them if you intend to stay. Urban areas are absolutely not safe. Thats all. Have a nice day.
