I really don't like the look of titles like this '🎥 BADGZILLA (Baltic Honeybadger 2022, September 3-4, Riga, Latvia) | HodlHodl' ... The signal to noise is so low. WTF is this link even. All caps, special characters, dates, yuck.
reply
Guilty, as charged!
But I'm following the official Stacker News Style Guide (which, since it does not yet exist, means most anything goes, right)?
The movie camera was used to communicate that this essence of this post is a video clip. The BADGZILLA was the title of the video, from the HodlHodl Youtube channel.
But does ...
🎥 BADGZILLA | HodlHodl
do justice as a title? That's mostly ALL noise, almost NO signal.
So I added some more context to the title (i.e., the announcement for which the video was created).
I suppose I could have just had it like:
Announcement: Baltic Honeybadger 2022, September 3-4, Riga, Latvia

I'm also guilty I guess. I need to create a style/posting guide.
I usually avoid posts with emoji's and many special characters (|, @, etc) in the title. Something about it feels noisy. I can tell something is a video or podcast based on the domain its coming from so the emoji's feel extra.
I need to write these ideas out though and see what everyone thinks.

Even this one is gross 'GitHub - jamaljsr/polar: One-click Bitcoin Lightning networks for local app development & testing' ... This is an auto-filled title but I wish it were edited to remove 'Github' because it's redundant given the link is to ... Github.
reply
Duplication of data may be bad in database schema but at the presentation layer I'm not as critical.
But when looking at Hacker News, almost none of those posts for a github would have a title that looks like that. (Or the example you showed of mine, with the emoji).
But then again, this isn't Hacker News. This is Stacker News. Just like how Mastodon isn't Twitter, it is Mastodon. And things there can be different. Which attracts people who are different. Which gives the timelines there more character than a similar Twitter timeline.

This is a pretty good thread from Yishan describing moderating on Reddit as the situation of damned if you do and damned if you don't:

Even if you start off doing nothing re: moderation, a pretty good suggestion from Jason on the All-in Podcast would be for Elon to go in with a machete and get rid of all the dead weight and get the earnings/employee #s up. Seems like you could easily trim 1/4 of that company.

Alternative to openAI, you pay with lightning.

This is an incredible project.
Anyone know any services like this in the ML space that are doing this at an api level?

Cool!

How does SN host wallets for every user? Is it just a DB tracking users holdings or do you actually host a wallet for every single user? If the latter one is true, could you elaborate on how this works?
Not sure if this is something you want to keep secret or discuss openly but as SN is OSS I guess it's not a secret really? I tried to look at the source code for an answer but I still don't understand how it works.
If anyone else have any tips on tools/solutions for hosting LN wallets for others on the same LN node I'd appreciate a link or a name I can search for.
reply
It’s the first one, db tracking user holdings. LNBits is a tool that does this for you. I don’t use it but I hear good things.
reply
Thanks, I'll check out LNBits.
