Just heard about this site, checking it out.
How would you rate the discussion around here? From 0 (mostly price talk) to 10 (technical discourse)?
There’s little talk about price. It does come up though naturally. The community is rather technical but to date we’ve failed to attract core and protocol devs in a meaningful way, so some discussions don’t get as nitty gritty as I’d like, but still they can be quite technical albeit higher in the stack.
Hard to put on a scale like that though. “On a scale of 1 (apples) to 10 (oranges), what number is a watermelon”?
I’d say half the stories are technical, but the other half isn’t about price.
Love having Mondays off get to catch up on some reading clean, wash, buy some Bitcoin, be productive. Kill it today Stackers!
Always positive Ge. Love it!
The community is the well of positivity from which I draw from to fillith my chalice.

Spent a lot of time yesterday trying to get my Django project deployed to Heroku. The thing complicating it is the connection between my node and Heroku. Tailscale doesn't seem to play nice with Heroku, so I'm going to look at other options. I'd like to connect over clearnet (preferably over a VPN) for speed reasons, but I'm not opposed to connecting over Tor. Gotta do more research...
Would be cool to see some stats on how many people gave sats for a particular post. Like a histogram or a summary statistic like average or median? (E.g. Did 1000 ppl tip 1sat, or did 1 person tip 1000sat?)
If you hover over the 'X sats', a little popover tells you how many people tipped the post. You can surmise an average at least. I'd like to do more pretty graphs with satistics though too.
Cool! Is there a way to see this on mobile?
Not currently 😢
Ill be doing skateboard today.
I setup a https://listmonk.app server on AWS yesterday. Going to spend today:
Stuck on (2). Did some tester emails and looks good though.
Wife's bday tomorrow. Will ship Wednesday hopefully after we get approval.
Also have to do an investor update

That April 30th spike was interesting. It was early entirely the result of this one Tweet, by Alex Gladstein, in which he did a Quote Tweet of the StackerNewsFeed Tweet that was for the SN Post: "Full English Translation of the Central African Republic Cryptocurrency Law"
view on twitter.comI didn’t even realize that happened! 😱

This comment somehow got posted twice. Didn't notice that it happened until now.
There are 20 seconds between them. Could it be human error?
This has been happening on two different devices, but using the same flakey wi-fi with both. I've seen my submissions be duplicated on SN for Posts and for comment replies as well.
Like right now, when I press the reply, it might toggle to disabled while it submits, and that might stay that way for like 10 seconds or maybe longer. SN is not the only site / service where this type of extended pause for a response will happen, but I've not seen the a duplicate submit occurs with other sites I might use. I can confirm my wi-fi frequently has latency issues, including times when I'll see like up to 6 second response times for ping (!), for extended durations -- 30 seconds or 45 seconds maybe, then things just resume at normal speed. Whether that's due to broadband connectivity, or maybe RF interference, or whatever, I have no idea -- and it's not my access point so I can't do much further troubleshooting. But I know I'm not alone in continued use of a wi-fi connection even when it frequently is flakey.
There was a fix to Issue #94 mentioned in SN's github repo, but that doesn't seem to have been implement for comment replies (as same rule could apply, no duplicate comment reply, from the same user at the same comment level). And I am pretty sure that still is occurring for the SN Posts too, so maybe that fix got reverted, or was ineffective?

When was withdraw to QR code or to Lightning Address added?
Feels like 4-5 months ago.
Strange, I've never noticed it before today.
So that provides a way to tip someone on Stacker.news directly, using funds from your SN account. So account-to-account transfer, essentially. That's awesome!
Yep!
