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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

Python for sure
Rust is peaking my interest though

Rust and JS. It's more about the ecosystem and developer tooling in my opinion.

From a theoretical perspective, lisp.
From a practical perspective, JavaScript.
