I was warning people about Binance a year ago. I wasn't being a hater; I saw bad things coming, and was confident. Looking back, I should have been more vocal about it. Morality in cryptocurrency seems to have been a gamble on its own for years now already, though.

It is more easily accessible to the masses than something like Nostr. I think the majority of people couldn't understand relays, even if you held a gun to their head, metaphorically

2023-07-10 19:56:12 UTC

So many good technologies being made for programming in development, as usual.
I can't wait for SolidStart to finally have a production release. I'd already use Solid before React, or any of the other frameworks, on any day. I'd also like to try HTMX for something more simple. I think it will catch on fast for static pages.
Carbon is a language Google is making to replace C. It's a long way away from production, but I'm still excited to see where it will go. I'm sure it is still very lesser known, as well.

I started as a line cook. I did that for a long time and got tired of it, so I learned everything I could about computers and programming, and ended up developing websites. Working 7 days a week wasn't my style, so I began at the bare ass bottom of the finance industry so I could only work 6. I'll never forget how the lady, at the bank interview, told me about how I can't develop Bitcoin software, because it would be a conflict of interest.
Only 2 years later, I'm now providing digital marketing and sales hiring management for an entire business franchise (and working on any damn Bitcoin project I want lol). My career has been a rollercoaster

Space exploration is federal spending, while charity for the homeless is state spending. Both are separately limited by budgets. The federal government writes California, I'm assuming, a blank check, to solve things they see necessary, such as charity for homelessness. What the state of California actually does with that blank check is another story. I'd look into that. I can assure you that NASA has nothing to do with it.

I have a distant cousin who tried really hard to be a rapper. He failed because instead of focusing on originality, he cared more about his leased sports cars, spray-tan wife, and trying to ride the coat tails of bigger artists by getting features.
One time, he really said something about it, though, that has stuck with me. He compared trying to maintain a social media following to "feeding the beast". And he said that if you miss a single day, you get forgotten about.
I think about that saying of his when I look at big tech social media algorithms. I think Nostr saves us from those kinds of shackles of communication and wanting to meet new people on the internet.

Bitcoin can help teach people about finance in the scenarios where they have no fiat or a chance to receive quality education otherwise. I bet that's why the US government wants to see it gone.

Bitcoin, thou hast been a steady star
That shinest in the dark and stormy night
Thy value hath not changed in weeks so far
But held its ground with unrelenting might
But what will be thy fate in days to come?
Wilt thou ascend to heights unknown before?
Or wilt thou fall and lose thy precious sum?
Or wilt thou stay the same for evermore?
We know not what the future holds for thee
But we do hope that thou wilt prosper well
For thou art more than just a currency
Thou art a dream, a vision, and a spell
So let us not despair, but rather cheer
For Bitcoin is the wonder of our year

Okay, yes, but I'm still going to analyze the value of my asset as someone who is financially responsible. Bitcoin's relational monetary value is also going to control it's adoption rate. What that means is that if it's worth more, people will buy it. Follow me for more insights 😉

Looking at chart patterns, Bitcoin has been on a cusp of major value fluctuation. Right now, it has been mostly steady at $28k with volume decreasing. Less trading is happening. That can mean anything at this point!

I can run Swift compilers on Linux and Windows. But then, when it's time to publish a mobile app to the Apple store, I need to sign the app for the app store. To do that requires Xcode, exclusively available on MacOS.
Theoretically, I can suck it up and set up a virtual machine to run MacOS, just so I can sign my app and get it published. But after that, a year passes, and I have to pay the annual reoccuring developer account fee *again*, just to keep my ad-free, non-profit passion project apps on the store, for the accessibility of phones that I don't even use.

Also, Google and Microsoft both have *the exact same* rigorous filtering on their app stores as Apple has on theirs. They've got Terms & Conditions, and all that legal jazz, that nobody reads, but they regulate, just like Apple. They're definitely not a minefield of malware, but they do still host software that is lesser-rated on the spectrum of their stores, just like Apple.

The argument of Apple having a better UX is also a classic that I've heard a lot.
I'd accept the preference of familiarity, as perhaps iphone users are just used to using iphones for a long time. However, for people who don't program computers or phones and only use either as a Facebook machine, they probably couldn't really point out what the difference is; other than the inconsequential simple things, such as: "on this phone, you go to this menu to change the wallpaper, which is a different menu on the other phone".
Idk about the other thing, I've just plain never heard of people needing to debug their apps on Android during casual use.

2023-03-28 20:44:19 UTC

Yes, Android has been natively Java since before Google acquired it. The reason they haven't refactored Android to use Go, is because despite Go having a passionate community, Go is only intended to be a language for text-processing, to accelerate the search engine. Nothing more, nothing less, which is also why frameworks based on JavaScript and Python still dominate web app server market shares.
Relating to Go not really intending to be a general-purpose language, look into Carbon-language. It is supposed be their developed general-purpose programming language, as many probably think of Go, to succeed C++ in the future. Not many people know about it, and it will be a bombshell on the whole tech industry when it is finalized.
Anyway, thank fuck that Swift hasn't caught on outside of Apple, because even with Android using Java, Oracle (owner of Java) was up their ass 24/7 with lawsuits. Now, imagine Apple's reaction to someone trying to use Swift as the native language to create some kind of development environment outside of the Apple environment. Come to think of it, their possible reaction is probably why nobody has tried! It would be an all around waste of time.

I hear this particular argument quite often. Just to keep this particular reply shorter, I'd say that an ideal free market is what will filter the good software from the bad. Involving restrictions, such as needing to learn objective-c or Swift to write applications native to the iphone environment instead of being able to just use Java, is counter-intuitive wheel re-inventing.
