I feel the shitcoiner mentality is strong in the weak. Even though btc went high, how many of us actually took profits? I wish it had stayed lower for a bit longer so I could build up my stack.

Yeah, in retrospect the downturn from 2021 was great for stacking. Starting a daily DCA has really helped tamper my emotions wrt price action.

Hey @ek I set up an attached wallet for this account @NFLsurvivor2024 but every time I log back into it the receiving data is still saved under lighting address but all the NWC data is gone and I have to reconnect it again in order to reply as I have set the desired balance at 0.

Do you know why this is? I don't have this problem with my main account.

Thanks, GR

Oh, we delete the spending stuff on logout since it’s sensitive data that someone else could use to steal from your wallet if it’s a shared computer. That shouldn’t be the case if you enabled device sync but need to verify.

If you use account switching, you shouldn’t need to logout though. Are you using it?

15 sats \ 3 replies \ @NFLsurvivor2024 7 Nov

No I don't use account switching. I open a private window and login to this account from there so I can have both accounts open at the same time. This is especially useful when picks are coming in for pools so I can check periodically and update my spreadsheet without having to log in and out to keep checking or having to wade through 30 comments on a post to find all the picks. This way I can get them as they come it. So I would like to keep this routine.

I guess since it is a private window this will always be an issue unless even if I enable device sync?

Mhh, so I guess if you always received notifications for all accounts, account switching would be more useful to you? I see how the UX is better with tabs instead of clicking on switch account even though you don't need to log in and out as you mentioned for some reason. Linking @NFLsurvivor2024 once to your main account means that you never¹ have to login back again on that device to switch to that account. So maybe it's still better UX in the long term?

I guess since it is a private window this will always be an issue unless even if I enable device sync?

No, then they are stored encrypted on the server and can be fetched when you login but you will need to enter your passphrase in the device sync settings to decrypt the wallets on your device. So I guess it's pick your poison with private tabs.

Or maybe we could simply add another setting that prevents the delete on logout 👀

The cookies of switched accounts currently expire in 30 days so if you didn't use the account in that period, you have to authenticate yourself again. ↩

For some reason I thought account switching just meant logging out of current account and into another but if I can switch back and forth without logging in and out constantly that might be workable. Separate tabs would be better but I could probably get used to account switching. I will give it a shot and report back.

“Yes, you’re likely to fail, that’s fine. Because the goal of playing is not to win, but to keep learning. And the day you stop learning is the day you stop living."

The video below is a 10 minute video about sparring. But the reason why it's such a great video is not the information it contains regarding to martial arts. The reason why it's such a great video is that it explains wonderfully (and simply) one of the fundamental aspects of life - how the state of play is the optimal state for learning and growing.

Happiness Journal 6/11/24

Parent-Teacher’s Meeting today.

Every year, with a new batch of students, I inadvertently find myself overusing a phrase to the extent that my students mimick the way I speak. With an unmotivated sixth grader class three years ago, I patented AM I RIGHT OR AM I WRONG? (The only acceptable answer is, “Yes, Mr Heng, you are always right.”)

This year, it seemed that at least one student has not only caught on to my catchphrase super not amused, but also has told her parents about me. Thank goodness her mother thinks that I am funny. (Though it beats me why she would categorise my bellowing of super not amused under a funny mannerism.)

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic 7 Nov

It depends on the level of the kids. The most difficult level, IMHO, is chu-Ichi, ne, san nensei! They are enough to try a saint. Super not amused is a fairly innocuous thing to be saying to them. You could be saying a lot worse, but teachers have to keep their cool, otherwise the kids win. We can’t be having that, now, can we?

48 sats \ 1 reply \ @nym 6 Nov

Do you think working with the parents are more difficult than working with kids, and has it changed over time since teaching. I just heard that anecdotally from someone that was the case.

4 sats \ 0 replies \ @cryotosensei 7 Nov

I think it depends on the luck of the draw. Generally speaking, parents are better educated these days and may have higher expectations for their child’s teachers. So it can be quite tiring to meet these expectations.

Teaching is more demanding these days because we need to be able to guide students to think critically and creatively, navigate Gen AI platforms, design online lessons. These are challenges that my teachers didn’t have to face when teaching me 2-3 decades ago

Do NOT Let Them Talk

While you are determining who they are, do not let them take control of the conversation, tell them to wait until you are satisfied with the information they are giving you.

Ask confirmation questions like how do they spell their name, and give me your contact phone number, or even e-mail address.

Note: If they have given you a business card, keep it. Photograph any identity cards.

Although this information will be useful, what you are actually doing is asserting your status and dominance over the situation. You are making them wait and putting them on the defensive.

This can be very unnerving for them, and can seriously hinder their confidence.
