Set is my favorite data structure

12 years, I like this song more

Are you happy?

https://www.capcut.com/ is a very good video editing software, despite that it is from the creator of TikTok

Now Blowater has a UI to see all the npubs in a relay

The concept of platforms is not necessarily evil. For example, as a consumer, if I purchase a bad quality good or service, without a platform, I have to face the provider along and usually individual customer is at huge disadvantage because the business has essentially no worries to ignore my requests. The platform can help individuals to negotiate in situations like this. The largest platform is of course the state and legal system. Platforms become problems only when they stop to caring about neither individuals nor businesses or only care about businesses. A good platform gives bad actors huge risks to do bad things and rewards good actors. In this sense, Nostr is the platform of reputation. Because bad comments about any npub can not be deleted, npubs with commercial activities will be very careful with how they treat customers. Also with Web of Trust, we can filter out 99+% fake comments/reviews.

Imagine that CSS looks like Tailwind since the very beginning. The humanity will save lots of time.

I might write a more in-depth article about it. Short: with the equipment of new generation social media, web of trust, decentralized reputations, we will see the rise of super individuals (don’t confuse with centralized platform influencers). The concept of corporations will still exist for things that individuals simply couldn’t do such as international logistics. But, every other aspects of your local life will be back to individuals.

This is a test that has nothing to do with Bangkok

Just had this empowering thought: despite self identifying as a lowly effective person, I’ve achieved a lot so far. It’s ok to be suboptimal.

The fact that NIP-11, relay information is not an event, is a mistake. If the relay information is an event, we get: 1. Real time update on the client 2. Know which npub updated the relay info 3. Use real time update to change administration features on the client To implement a Discord style client, we need real time relay information. It’s not just a relay information, it’s a full description of the configuration of this relay.

This will the most important tech announcement for the Web in 2024.

It is my believe that Vite or previous gen bundle/build tools are just fancy hacks to the flaws of NodeJS. With Deno, you can get rid of most of that shit.

I still think Blowater as a NIP7 extension is a good idea. I did some experiments with it during last year’s NostrAsia conference but never fully pursued it. After the current refactoring is done. I want to try it one more time.

Random Thought: What if I create a globally available relay as a serverless platform that a developer can upload scripts (in a secure language) to customize the relay’s behavior? For example, my-global-relay-server.com/this-developer-s-route Each relay is a route.

Can programming be learned like BJJ? Everyday, we just go to the classroom and the instructor(black belt in programming) simply gives a small demo about some practical problems and offer solutions. Then students start to hack.

Every time I watch videos like this, I wonder what the fuck I did with my life when I was 10 years younger. I spent most of my time in front of a screen and I haven’t become an amazing programmer yet.

I don’t want to make you feel bad but I am a fit nerd.
