New job post:

Senior Application Security Engineer \ Swan Bitcoin \ Remote #21103 https://bitcoinerjobs.com/job/340321-application-security-engineer-swan-bitcoin

It makes total sense for a company to boost visibility of their BitcoinerJobs listing here on SN's ~jobs. One downside is that there's no tracking metric / analytics then, for the hiring party to know how many visits to the page came from SN.

Which reminds me ... is Github Issue #115 anywhere close on the roadmap, @k00b?

Just shipped tip forwarding on posts ...

It's hidden in the options pane
It's 100% only
can only forward to SN users

It's pretty basic support but I'll refine it over time.

If I set a post to forward, shouldn't tips earned for the replies to that post get forwarded as well?

Switched to a notification icon and removed stacked amount from the navbar. Tomorrow I'll be giving users more notification settings.

So I can tip a user on any post by writing

Tip

101 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 19 Apr 2022

What? No, when you create a post you can set an option to forward your tips to another user. e.g. I post a link to something jimmysong wrote and want him to get all the tips.

Sorry, now I get it.

And that user must have an account here I suppose.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 19 Apr 2022

Yep they need an account

I've been seeing a lot of discussion on smartphone privacy over the past couple of days. Its showing up here, on HN, and even on YouTube (MentalOutlaw uploaded a video recently). Has something happened or is it just coincidence?

poop :p hows the mastering lightning book anyone? It's on my must read list.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @michaellevin 19 Apr 2022 freebie

I really like it. Breaks down things in a very understandable manner. It was the best single resource for learning Lightning IMO.

I like Go, because it teaches you different approach and mindset in comparison to JS, Java, c++...

It's so boring to program in though. I wrote the backend for https://grepmed.com in golang. tbf it runs like a top; it's just dreadfully verbose. It's basically C but with a great standard library, concurrency primitives, gc, and package management. Somehow, it's still not as fun to program in as C is.

Programming in Lisp expanded my programming mindset more than any language I've programmed in. The ability to basically create bespoke DSLs for everything just blew my mind.

Kotlin. I'm frequently looking for and missing many of it's super handy extension functions when working in other languages.
