I'd like to sell them on SN but I'm kind of behind schedule as is so we might need to use another tool.

I just noticed something: someone has been missing for more than 24 hours, and the hat seems gone too.
can you still remember the conversation mentioning about this intense moment? @nemo

@nemo doesn’t need a hat… he has become the hat…
reply
wait, maybe someone is using this trick too.!
reply
He did say that real life was getting in the way. Or did I dream it? Is this real life? Am I becoming more @nemo? Very strange….
reply
he did said it but I was actually mean @ekzyis have been missing more than 24 hours, or did he also using this trick? guess trm we would see!
reply
Sorry about that - my mistake. @ekzyis has been away from SN for a few days but he was travelling. Hope he didn’t get lost on a workout though!
reply
He's not responding to my dms either :/
reply
Hopefully there will be a story at the end of all this..
we need to keep a caring eye on our SN dev.!

I feel like once you are fine letting go of everything, then no one can really control you, right? @DarthCoin
reply
Yes. Once you let all your fear out, nothing can control you. Fear is eating you from inside. Stop worrying for the day of tomorrow. Let it be. For more you are worrying, your life will be more miserable, ugly and sad. Your projection into the future will have a big impact in your future actions. Find the balance between your feelings and projections and your life will be a nice journey. Life is a journey and not a race (to be the richest, the smartest, the stronger, the best in x whatever).

Lesson of today: NEVER put anything important on someone else's hand because reliable people are RARE, and nobody would care more than you.
And I noticed that many people don't understand why they got paid in the first place, exactly to solve problems! Hiring the wrong people would bring you more trouble in the end.

Typing in SN is very slow recently, or is it my phone dying😨 does it work well for you when you hold the backspace to delete for example? Or just typing, the letters appear a second later.
reply
I've also been experiencing this. I just figured it was my phone.
reply
I've deployed the changes. Please let me know if they improved things!

Thank you fixing it. Typing works much better now :)

Thanks so much. Wasn’t sure if I fixed it

k00b and I discussed this yesterday: #281363

I don't have a device that exhibits the behavior though.
reply
This seems to have helped quite a bit locally. Hard to say 100% because with the dev build running locally, my machine is a bit slow, but I do think I see a usability improvement.
reply
I'll try to test it locally if I get a chance today
reply
I'll try to look into this today if someone 😉 doesn't beat me to it.
reply
yeah afaict every change is causing a rerender ... "hook 10 & 11 changed" ... I wish the profiler could name the dang things
reply
Always parse hook names from source
reply
Sweet!
reply
I'm not sure I've pinpointed the exact issue, but making more use of useCallback and useMemo in the MarkdownInput and UserSuggest components seems to be helping locally. At least, I see fewer longer commits in the profiler
reply
I suspect if might be enough to not setUserDropdownStyle and setMentionIndices on every change. These object literals each have a new reference and trigger a rerender even if the object is functionally identical.

Oh thanks. Sorry I just noticed it today here. It is worse if there are many comments on the page.
reply
Don't apologize. I haven't experienced the problem for some reason so it's good to know several people are having the issue
reply
Has there been consideration given to charge sats to change your nym? I wonder if that might help with the imposter issues with darth coin. @k00b
reply
good idea, maybe the fist change cost 100 sats, second change cost 1000 sats, third change cost 10000 sats? etc
I don't think a honest pleb need to change so much of their nym, so charge more when they are changing more 😂😂
reply
We've discussed it but haven't decided how it should work.
Should it be a flat cost for each edit?
Should changing to a shorter nym be more expensive than a longer name?
Should changing to a nym with a short hamming distance relative to other nyms be more expensive?
If I'm a new stacker, should I have to pay to establish my first chosen nym?
reply
Good questions. Perhaps a GitHub issue to discuss how it should work would be good so folks can weigh in?
reply
Yeah that makes sense
reply
That would not help much. I'm afraid If they want to do it they will do it.
reply
You’re probably not wrong, but at least they’d have to pay more to do it
reply
Yes, cost is merely hurdle that some people will clear but the higher the hurdle the fewer that'll clear it.

A few stackers lately have been saying that they are a bit unwell, I guess mostly due to the weather change, so let's try to share some natural healing tips to help each other to be stronger, but it has to be from your first-hand experience - something you have verified.
Here are some of the things I have tried, and they work for me:
For simple cold Hot tea mixed with honey.
For sore throat Try mixing ginger, lemon with hot water and honey.
Also, whenever you are feeling unwell, eat less and sleep more, your body will do the work for you. And don't forget this: your body is way more powerful than you think - your body has been "learning" from all the past generations, and the force is within you.
You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop.
Other tips
  • avoid negativity: news, social media and toxic people
  • avoid dramas
  • avoid junk food
  • spend more time in nature
  • fill life with beauty, positivity and fun

And photo of today: can you guess what fun I'm trying to capture here?
reply
Spicy food with lots of garlic and onions will bring down any inflammation you might be dealing with.
Get some midday sunlight outside. Most of us live in the northern hemisphere and as the Sun gets lower our bodies struggle to synthesize vitamin D.

I think it’s corny that people are piling on Caroline’s looks in this whole FTX thing
reply
Are you referring to the image where she's wearing a blue cap? That's the only current images I could find. I honestly don't see anything wrong with her looks.
reply
Just in general. The internet has declared her ugly and now it’s nonstop jokes about her looks. She got duped in to this massive fraud and now her looks are internet joke fodder. Just a really tough spot to be in for her.
But SBF is no beau yet he doesn’t get nearly the bashing she gets from a look standpoint and he’s the crook in all of this.

How are your classes going? I'm glad to see you still have time for the daily haiku.
reply
All good thank you. Lots of reading! I haven’t actually told any of my work colleagues though…
As an aside; I was reading a very entry level book on economics and quite unexpectedly they mentioned von Mises… almost took me by surprise seeing such a prominent Austrian economist being referenced.
reply
That von Mises mention is surprising. When I was taking basic economics way too many years ago you would never gear of him or Hayek
reply
Mises’ mention was for his article ‘Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth’
Hayek gets a mention for his time with Keynes at Cambridge University and the contrasts between them
reply
Does anyone have a recommendation for a live international news channel in English that actually presents the news?
reply
I'd guess for a channel to deliver live, 24 hour news they'd need a lot of staff and resources, and therefore big budget - difficult to be independent when you've got big backers.
If you're running on a skeleton crew a channel might just cut corners and repeat news everyone else is pushing and therefore stop being journalists any more.
The only independent set up that is of any quality is based in NYC. I used to listen to them all the time at work - I just read their headlines and interviews now for speed.
The show started small, first just audio, but now have a swish new studio and put out a one hour live show each weekday. They were a few blocks away from the twin towers on 9-11 and still kept broadcasting if I remember rightly. A few of the guys from The Intercept first cut their teeth there.
Maybe check them out:
reply
Oh yeah. I assume you probably listened to WBAI radio? I am very familiar with them. Their news has a strong socialist slant, but I find myself listening or watching their YouTube channel as a distinct perspective. I must say they have been particularly good regarding recent middle east stuff.
reply
Yeah, they're really good at reporting news from the middle east. They seem to get lots of academics on and get them to lay out what they know. I remember they had their own boots on the ground reporter during the Egyptian uprising.
Sadly, they don't seem to accept Bitcoin yet. They accept lots of other ways to support them including unwanted tech that they need in the studio.
They're broadcast on multiple radio channels nationwide - not just in NYC.
(You're right about YouTube too though! I used to download their show via torrents.)
reply
As I always say: full trust in media if its about breeding dachshounds. Rest follows incentives and narratives of those in power. You should put together a menue of valuable accounts on 'x' to get first access. Like Mark knopfler once wrote a song: ''Private Investigation''...
reply
News corporation are only after one thing, and that's profits. I won't go looking for news channels because all you're going to get is misinformation.
reply
Lmao the state of western news. You probably need to do a linear combination of CNN/BBC and Al Jazeera to get something approximating news, but even then it's a crap shoot
reply
For years now I find all the major news channels unwatchable. Besides the ridiculous propaganda, they all became boring as hell. Shorter and shorter repetitive loops.
reply
Do you mean; Notable Events, Weather & Sport. I do not :(
reply
Yes. That's what I mean. When I was a kid there was a NYC radio station that would rattle off news headlines. The slogan was "You give us 22 minutes, we give you the world." The station still broadcasts, but it's been propagandized and no longer just rattles off events. I know even the choice of story involves bias. I still would just like a long list of headlines to choose from.
reply
hahahaha is this a joke? I have news for you: there's no such thing. They all lie or are puppets of bigger masters. All you can see is just disinformation not informing people. ALL OF THEM.
reply
From a propaganda perspective I know it's hopeless. I can try to weed through both sides and come to an approximation of what I think the truth is. The problem is that it's all repetitive propaganda stories. I just want an approximation of a straight news feed: Earthquake here, fire burned down a building there, Syria shot missiles into Golan Heights...
reply
From all the years in communism and later watching the western media doing the same thing (but with more colors and fun) I realized that the only way to get the best "news" is to not consume them.
By consuming their propaganda you are just giving them a reason to exist, they literally feeding from your fear and concerns.
Just relax, do your own business and move away. The world is much better without them. Bitcoin is the best example or destination to where you should dive in, when you are overwhelmed with their garbage news. There's so much to learn about Bitcoin that you will never finish.
I will repeat this over and over: focus on merchant adoption (if you are not a coder that builds bitcoin apps). Is the key to go forward. Be the bridge between bitcoin devs and consumers if you have some good knowledge about Bitcoin.
Just by starving the beast (fiat machine) all the rest will go away, including all those fake propaganda news.
This meme have a true meaning that few still get it...
reply
I agree with your points (especially merchant adoption), but what I'm looking for is a basic awareness of events going on in the world. Call it curiosity.

stop calling it war. is a gigantic psyop as it was covidscam. move on, there are many other important things in your life #279712
reply
I'm not going to debate whether this is a war, or not a war. I just wanted to share my message with anyone affected by what's happening. Please respect that!
reply
Why are you affected? You should not. You are manipulated to be "affected"... Because they want you to be involved in something that they created.
You should think about that.
reply
Buddy, please read my message properly. I never said I was affected by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. I was referring to the innocent people from Israel and Palestine who have been directly affected by the conflict. Is it so wrong to prayer for others? Even if we are being manipulated, people are still dying, people are still suffering. That's all I have to say about the matter!
