Last Notes npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Completely unrelated....why are bitcoine people committed to being terrible at branding? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t more or less...seems that way. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t yea...what? pretty sure it's an ostrich...why would one change that? bad call...bad branding? impatience? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Losing my money because of keyloss, theft, or just weird tech/unforeseen things.. How much work (or cost) is UTXO management for someone who wants to put in as little work as possible? What other things must I consider to avoid loss of funds, or large losses of funds? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t #asknostr #nevent1q…s6uk npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Then talk about them? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Is bitcoin storage any better than it was 4 years ago, and is the community any more helpful in sharing? Twuz quite garbage then, and despite hours of commitment trying to learn and figure it out, I decided although BTC is an amazing invention, it's often not worth the cost benefit to go all in, or even significantly in, because one must either trust individuals (multi-sig), or deal with key management solo. Would love to even hear how people think about this. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Where do you get your water seals...(to keep the phone waterproof after breaking the seal to fix the phone) npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Is it open source? Where is the code? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t ....I read macro cycle. Is any of this macro? I don't speak this language. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I'm wondering how much I would pay for how I use LLM's if the AI bubble crashed. I feel like my answer might be $0. It's compared to google when google was mostly (or just?) search. I never paid for google. If google monetized via ads, how will AI monetize? Ads in chat? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t crap is turning up on my timeline that I don't follow. Is this a glitch or ppl experimenting with ads without stating it? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t When did it die? And what was cause of death? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Weird modern speech patterns of united states white collar workers currently. 1. and "bla bla bla bla bla"... (what ever happened to saying Et cetera? Did people not know how to spell it, and then start avoiding saying it for fear of looking dumb?) 2. "I would say" (Are we so soft that we need to hedge our speech now) Write more in response if you have some. So interesting! npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Looking at the "Latest" "Feed" today I'm having a thought regarding "proof of work". In my version of capitalism, we do not care who/what "works the hardest", or "does the most work". We care about who/what provides the most value, or the best value. I'm wondering if a change in dialog, words, or the way we think about things is needed here. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t But most of the counties still remain "incorporated". I suppose this is different in states with smaller populations and less pop density? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t So rather than water flowing over the dam, the dam would simply fold down and let a much greater volume of water through - in your analogy? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Capacitors are just batteries that have been soldered to something. The same is true of Cache, and RAM. If I'm wrong I wana know how. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t What is the biggest difference between this and X (twitter), for someone who knows neither? What will be the biggest difference in the future do you think? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Any tips for searching for land exclusively in unincorporated areas? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t not connecting the dots here... npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Say more about living in unincorporated areas? I've been casually land shopping for a while. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I've been trying to get an open source OS since about 2020. I've been using one since probably 2022, and wishing I knew people who used them since I started. In the last week or so, I may have inspired 2 seperate parties to start using them, after I think inspiring no one. for the previous 4 ish years. uhh..."Gradually and then suddenly"?...errrr.....What has changed? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t One can stream from a mobile device to youtube, and one will get more viewers on the 'live feed' that's like shorts, or from the shorts feed. It appears youtube doesn't like it when one changes the aspect ratio to mimic that of a phone in order to pop up in these feeds. Is it more complex than this? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t then repost builders more? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t mabuti 😉 npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t After (far far far too many) hours of 'research', and testing (and using for 1 purpose and several measurements), I have decided that Multimeters are like...umm vehicles? There is no perfect one. Okay, say you spend hundreds or thousands on a multimeter. You could easily damage it...then was it the right one? How are you going to get it repaired/repair it? This leads to the ever changing list of multimeters/brands/companies. because there so many different markets for them....because they are a (or the) general purpose electrical tool. I still do not have a multimeter (the one I had seemed damaged on arrival), and I still want one, or two? Do I need 2? I currently want one to test a small vehicles battery pack's cells. That is the pressure. I'd get a 30 dollar one, but I'm wondering if the 80 volt limit is going to cause me problems now or in the future. Greenlee's seem interesting. Some are manufactured in Taiwon? I'd love to get one manufactured in Taiwon. Some of these are US manufactured...which I'm not a fan of currently (happy to expand more on a diff thread). Fluke. I don't want a fluke cause i'm a noob. I think I'll break it. Also I'd prefer one less exposed to a Chinese supply chain. As I prefer with many products (especially technical). What about you? What's your experience with multimeters? What do you use? What do you like/not like, and why? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t The TLDR of BTC payments for businesses (I think), is that liquid transactions are like 10X cheaper than BTC on-chain transactions, and Lightning transactions are like 100x cheaper (or something). npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Does anyone have media resources for understanding the technology and tactics of the Russia/Ukraine war? Struggling to find anything, and all this drone business seems both important and interesting. Thanks! npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Took a break from software for a month to work on hardware, and coming back to it is painful. Forget where I was in my project (that was already a hassle, but I thought I had figured it out), and seeing the 'community' is a reminder of how it seems like a mish mash of people speaking languages based on stacks that pretend each other doesn't exist if they don't share a stack. obvs this is just feels, but blargh...not a great vibe. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t "absolutely shocking"? Really? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t It's an excellent book if you accept a lower level of emotional maturity. Put yourself in the shoes of a highschooler or middle schooler and it slaps. Read it before the movie was announced and really enjoyed it. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Can open source operating systems win without winning gaming? people don't switch, and most people start when they're kids with games no? msoft keeps huge market share primarily because of gaming. or am I missing something? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I don't understand why youtube, sats.stream, twitch, etc don't have native screen record software. Why is this not a thing? Technical reasons, political, or just no one has built it or thought to build it yet? Odd that this functionality hasn't made it to the streaming world yet. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I'm finding it very difficult to learn Nix at the same time as learning another computer language. Nix seems to have to be learned first, but what would one do with it if one isn't technically astute? If one is learning another computer language as their first language they are constantly interrupted figuring out errors caused by using nix, sifting through minimal documentation, and a lack of tutorials. I was learning some different testing things in python, and now all of a sudden I'm considering how to package things in nix simply so that I can get my python to run. It actually does seem to make sense if one is trying to understand computing from the ground up, but nonsensical for those that are simply looking to build apps and outsource lower level things. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t where this is....is often a financial bubble. Sell? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t predictions on when wiki.nixos will have a dark mode? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t De Moines population is around 200,000. Only 4% of cities have a population over 50,000 (as of 2019) https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/05/america-a-nation-of-small-towns.html We need how-tos for smaller towns! npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t It's disappointing so few people develop STEM skills....and then hivemind repost ra ra content. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t This might be accompanied by data on population? Is China's dropping? China apparently has high percentage of males, and very few people in their 30's. If China pop drop this tells a very diff story...also could be waste/less efficient systems no? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I'm 82% through my intermediate level coding textbook (pretty sure it's intermediate) and there's still no mention of "SDKS". How recent is this term. Trying to get recent (aka relevent) textbooks in coding is more difficult than any other skill I've acquired I think. So "SDKS" are my new "Abstraction". Pretty much everything (if not everything) you see, or the average person sees on a computer screen is an "Abstraction" coders will say things like 'then you can abstract it out', and you'll hear about abstraction everywhere, but it's kind of meaningless in that everything is. It's used colloquially in specific contexts to communicate something, but it almost always means 'write some code to do a thing'. Only recently am I starting to understand it in the context of code...and it's always used in a "this is the way to not deal with some other BS" context. So yea, SDK's I get in theory, and I expect I'll be using one specifically soon for my project. It's simply "A software development kit"....but to be frank there's a reasonable chance it's simply an "uncompleted distribution" (or package). It could simply be a "UD", or "UP". But the culture has run with "SDK". Software still moves more quickly than anything I've seen. #dev #python #nix npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Good question. What got me thinking about this is wanting to understand Python better (and so C), but also having tried writing Rust and really enjoyed it. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Is this costing you anything in regards to tax benefits or whatever? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t #askdevs Comprehensive guide/s comparing lower level programming languages? A search is yielding nothing good. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t #asknostr is there a service that holds all your lightning payments while your node is offline, and then puts them through when it comes online? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t one of the oddities i've experienced when talking code with non python devs is them talking about functions, and me having to restructure things slightly in my head because in python there's mostly 'names', similar to function, but there's no functions I know of. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t my new (recycled?) working theory is that the reason there are so many terrible coding resources is because the demand for good coders is so high people just try to throw spaghetti at the wall to solve the problem. A more simple solution to me seems to hire people sooner, for less money. If failing at this - I'd imagine you're in the wrong place, or not making enough offers. #code npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t No, but if you find one that you do I'd love to hear it! npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t so your question is something along the lines of "what will people/bots claim to do on nostr, and how many of them will?" npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t from getting shutdown* npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t what's to keep it from not getting shut down tomorrow? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t the socialsphere has too much talk about austrian econ and not enough about technology npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t You're not offering - so what's the point of the post? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t any reason you don't just use a computer not connected to the web? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I want to find an event that was popular like 36 or so hours ago, but I'm not sure how. Ideas? #asknostr npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t The technology labor market right now is inverted? When in historical economics have we needed a great deal more 'senior' people than 'junior' people. It's not the same as having an 'unskilled' labor market. It's having a 'less skilled' labor market. I'd love to understand why instead of hiring a 'senior engineer' at $120,000+ or whatever people don't hire 2 'junior engineers' at like $20,000 each. I bet those 2 junior engineers would more than make up for the 'senior engineer'. This isn't to denigrate 10x philosophy. This is to say that these technology companies actually DON'T need human capital, or their managers don't have (or haven't shifted) their perspective such that they could simply apply '2 heads are better than 1' philosophy. Am I missing the mark? Or are companies mostly run right now by faux elitists who use the 'I don't have time to train' philosophy to ignore emerging talent. It seems like there's great waste right now and I'm looking for ways to transform it to productivity. #asknostr #dev npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t the following is by no means a curated list. it's simply one i'm forming for other purposes.

I do have a feeling it will not be easy going rn, but I dunno. I did show 6 or so people it recently (did not give them my npub) and then didn't follow up with any of them. They did seem receptive. I basically just showed them that the protocol was separate from the UI's, and told them they couldn't really get 'kicked off'. have you ever worked in sales? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Last generations "not going to college" will be something akin to this generations not learning to write code. (or something). Using a computer many days (all days, a lot of times per day) without learning to speak it's language is just odd. People who use drills get some idea of basic physics, if you're going to use a computer you should get some idea of basic coding. #nevent1q…0x5g npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t if so**** npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t You coding again? Whatcha working on? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t There's a book called 'The Defining Decade'. Perhaps a bad title, but I found it helpful. I think the TLDR of it is not to take things to seriously, just try to have a broad range of experiences. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I think pandering to what people are familiar too comes secondary to helping them get familiar to something better. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I'm about to do a teaching thing and when people ask for my contact info I'm going to give them my npub.

Putting the idea of a company aside for a second though...the path to learning the skills could be made more accessible, or do you think not? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Going on the assumption that one wants to improve things (and that paying too much attention to tsmc, or intel is a waste of time). It's still pretty unclear what any sort of grass roots approach could/would be. I think we can do better than....what? "Start with getting an electrical engineering degree". npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t The timing of this is an interesting topic. TLDR: 3d printing may be 10/100x more accessible than it was - it's still incredibly inaccessible. It does seem common for engineer types to get head of themselves after conflating upper middle class nerds who live in the suburbs/exurbs with 'everyone'. The most common old trope being that things they think are straight forward - to normies - are hopping on one foot, hoolahooping, on a unicycle, balancing a bike on your face. There's a great deal of technical know how to be able to 3d print...aside from the cost of the printers (which is significant, and there's no clear 'leaders' (from a non-printer perspective). The barriers to entry are much more than people realize. #6 perhaps seems the most relevant to your comment. 1. Cost of printer. 2. Will I have a steady supply of plastics 3. Will the company I buy from be in business in 5 years (etc), and even if they are, will it just be some nerds that are too busy to help with customer service because "like....they should just check the documentation". 4. Do you have the time to learn some CAD software. 5. Is there a cad software that's good that's open source or reasonably priced that will allow me to design the thing that I want to use it for. 6. Is there a SINGLE place (2? 3?) that I can go to when I want to print something to click a button and have the print come out (like a laser printer, that prints with ink) I've wanted a 3d printer for at least a few years, but it still doesn't make sense to me, and those who use them are notoriously difficult to 'hobby' with. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t That seems incredibly unlikely. Do you see any other paths? Roughly - it seems a combination of having the right city infrastructure (and style), in combination with a labor force that can and will do the work. This is my working theory after some light research on Tapei/TSMC. If I remember correctly - TSMC was going to manufacture here but didn't see the workforce for it. I'd imagine there are other factors in play, but that one did seem pretty real to me. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t forgive my ignorance, but can't lightning do 1sat/transaction. Are you thinking years/decades in the future, or is this useful now somehow? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I generally agree with the sentiment of your original post. What I find frustrating is that I've been asking 'how' to localize chipfab in the US for about half a decade, and to my recollection have had zero constructive conversations about it. People mostly say 'oh, they do really complicated things with big expensive machines....that's about all I know'. Tariffs come and go no? Did we have budding hardware businesses recently? Would love to dig deeper into the space. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t donating* npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t translation: You know how you've been donated your thoughts to google for years? Now is an important time, because you can donate your thoughts to like....4 more companies too! npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t perhaps you understand the supply chains / economic factors better? It seems China is able to make electronics start to finish without importing... npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t yes yes, but specifically try doing things in stem. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t oversimplification? It does seem wack tho. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t why would the number be anything other than 0? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t STEM nerds npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t LOL npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t my local nerds, but need help prompting if you have any pro tips. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t entrepreneurship in the united states has turned into one big etsy shop. if you're looking to start a business but don't know where to start maybe it makes sense to figure out what it would require to start a chip fab. sometimes working on problems that seem less accessible is a better use of time than using skills or resources already around. We're dependent on tech, why not try to build it? Vertically integrate our supply chains. #asknostr npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I found these with a quick search. The first one is one I remember hearing was good. Look forward to reading on this myself. The Cathedral and the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary – Eric S. Raymond Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary – Linus Torvalds The Success of Open Source – Steven Weber Free as in Freedom – Sam Williams npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Are you asking 'how it works' as in how it gets made and maintained, or are you asking what it is? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I have found the nix discourse site helpful. It does seem difficult to learn how to use it well. It could use some more books/people making better in depth educational tools. Might help learn just by having a more playful/open discussion about what you're doing, how you're using it, and how you want to use it. Ideally it's not a distro that's exclusively used by people who are experienced, but that's how it's marketed currently. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t why did you fail then? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I think of a musicians language as sound not words. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Yaaazz..pretty sure I adopted a mostly Keynesian way of thinking for quite a while. perhaps not the best for me....but I certainly prefer it to mentalities of no economic understanding. Look forward to hearing what you find interesting/dull. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t How eva much compute thee human commands eeees how wealthy zee person eeees. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I'm going to assume you're speaking of the internet or AI? I experience a great deal of novelty...but the human interactions I'd guess are key to it. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t Yea, econ is like a deeper understanding imo, and all those other books are tools to use if you want, but using tools without understanding why is like cutting wood with a saw when you don't know what you're building...or something...I dunno - I'm tired! Feel free to holla if you wana talk about any of it. Been so long for me I could probs freshen up...but I have a lot of adjacent education and practice as well, perhaps why I haven't been compelled to review. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t look forward to reading a copy when it's a little le$$ npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t me too! any idea when that'll be? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t this is the type of thing we should be talking about more maybe. Maybe more of us should understand national/global networking on a fundamental level. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t I was hoping to be taking logistically. Maybe I haven't read enough about this, but I doubt people pulled lines/sattelite dishes from every house in Egypt? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t how would one shut down the internet? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t get an external battery? npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t the problem for new devs is that there are so many unknown unknowns. we don't know what the core competencies are, so by that logic - prioritizing making the unknown unknowns KNOWN unknowns would make sense. The new problem becomes - how to do that, and the only solution I've come to is to try to read more, a lot more, and try to read deeper, better things. Would love to hear other peoples thoughts on the topic of making unknown unknowns known unknowns. npub176jdt070zywkek27u8vnlhthvvekhkwf53525uc9tj9kujwvcpjs50nlmr t something to pitch to your friends who don't know how to code but have 'app ideas', 'web ideas', 'saas ideas', etc.
