Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.

Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!

We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!

Sleeping is one of the good ways of problem-solving.

Is anything troubling your mind? A good hack is sleep on it.

Hey Freaks,

Imagine being a huge music fan,..........and having a button that zaps your favorite song of the moment. V4V isnt priced in. If Third Eye Blind had V4V set up, TheWildHustle would be poor, own nothing, but would certainly happy.

Ha great band! I saw them in the medwest in the early 2000’s for the first time! Great band!

That moment when you see that 21 stackers have zap undos enabled and that's 20 more than you expected.

some QoL improvements on the way though

reply

No take backs

reply

it's technically an abort, not a "take back". we just call it undo for UX reasons.

does this change something for you?

If the custom Zap form is open, when the undo Zap countdown ends, the form closes automatically. Is this a bug or a feature?

https://m.stacker.news/22759

reply

it's a bug that I fixed in the linked PR (see third video)

Which stacker was certain to use it ?

It's not a bug, it's a feature. It must be the anti overuse algorithm.

We're all about the zest.

reply

other sites have reminders about screen time, we have downtime

reply

whats the difference amiright

reply

Feature request: the internal server error plays the Alice movie but all the way through and keeps track of where it left off with each downtime.

(Maybe an easier way to do this is that it shows a page of the book, but sequentially, so that I can read my way through Alice over the next three or four years as you all have occasional downtime.)

Supposedly, Bertrand Russel used to title his speaking engagements "Fermat's Last Theorem Solved". He did that just in case he died on the way to the event, so people would believe he had solved it.

Interesting indeed. He must have been a wise man.

Hey Freaks,

Hustle has been having a pretty good Sunday afternoon,

  • Walked the dog, played around with some nix stuff, wrote some stuff on SN
  • Drank Coffee
  • Listened to Music

Now its time to water the wife and grab some food,
Happy Sunday stackers,
Hustle

Setup a Mutiny Wallet this weekend finally. Just sent this to @benthecarman and @TonyGiorgio:

No lie, it's the best noncustodial lightning wallet I've used. The UX is phenomenal and so so thoughtful and everything just worked. It also feels so simple in a deep way, like it's native if that make sense. It's how I feel when I'm using a mainstay unix command.

@wefofficial are you responsible for how minimal the homescreen is? It's genius IMO especially after experiencing so many other wallets that always feel overwhelming. It has only four buttons: three of them that I'd regularly care to use and an 'other' button (ie settings). I feel at peace when I'm using it which is such a weird thing to say, but it's true.

reply

Appreciate those kind words! Let us know if you run into any hiccups or have any suggestions.

@wefofficial is indeed responsible for how minimal it is, and he's also responsible for the complete redesign of the home screen in a few weeks πŸ˜‚

Hopefully it's not too jarring and still has a minimal feel. We're leaning more heavily into a social payments design.

reply

Don't ruin my Zen! :) But I'm looking forward to it. I'll have to get some more sats on it while fees are low.

reply

This is helpful feedback though. I would really like to know if your opinion has changed after the home screen redesign.

We're at a potential pivot point and it's all going to dictate based on user feedback over the next few months. The "simple, just works" vs "fully loaded social payments, Venmo style UI" is pretty much the pivot point. We might keep going as is and improve on both, or zoom in on one or the other.

reply

It sounds exciting. You nailed the wallet experience so well I'm sure you'll find the balance with social payments too.

reply

Howdy!

Good morning stackers.

Day 56 of 100 push ups till $100k completed.

Check out my weekly hiking post. This week we talk about my visit at Yosemite National Park.

reply

Nice work keeping the streak while travelling.

reply

Thanks. It gets easier with these accountability comments and not wanting to lose the streak.

reply

Today's the first day in a week when I'll be able to go for a really decent long walk (~7 miles), and physically and mentally, I need it so much. Exercise, a chance to think, and some genuine offline time.

reply

Yes proof of work. Love it!

Walk to clean the mind, I love it.

Today’s attempt at orange pilling over in the larger part of the world which isn’t Stacker News:

Control of money strengthens control of the economy. Control of the economy strengthens control of the people.

Imagine we could flip the script by actualising Hayek’s words:

β€œI don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take them violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something they can’t stop.”

reply

Ah Sunday. I’ll try to relax, but let’s be honest that won’t happen. A long run, errands, grocery shopping, playing with the kids. Living life and stacking Sunday Sats!

It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy. The mild serenity of age takes the place of the riotous blood of youth.

maybe some of them, like why people even invent shampoo? it seems like a scam from the start...πŸ˜‚

reply

Interesting fun fact: turkish people do not use shampoo but they have many clinics for hair implants, for all westerners that are using heavily shampoo.

Maybe this is a turkish conspiracy?

reply

oh, modern Turks use all the chemical shampoo too! 🀣 even the soap was developed in this region so early, shame...but I guess due to stress and bad tap water ( especially in İstanbul ), so many men tend of lose their hair too.
