Guess I really did future-proof my gaming PC when I built it 5 years ago, because it still runs great. Ryzen 3700X CPU, Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 GPU, 32 GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM. Only thing I've upgraded is adding more storage. AMD is the boss.

The current state of Nostr key management is not good at all. We need PGP-style subkeys. Ideally, the root key would be kept offline and only be used to add or revoke device keys. Support for multiple signature schemes would also facilitate future enhancements, such as a group signature scheme to deter key-level device usage analysis, and quantum-resistant schemes.

Maybe stock exchanges could take a gradual approach to round-the-clock trading. Widen the daily trading window by 2 hours, and see if it runs smoothly for a year. Try to get major exchanges around the globe to reach higher overlap. Repeat this process until we've covered the whole clock.

I just use a Google Pixel with stock Android and never sign in to a Google account. Installing open source apps from F-Droid is easy, and you can even use Aurora Store to get most Play Store apps. Yeah there may be some background telemetry going on but for most intents and purposes it's harmless if you are not signed in and thus explicitly identified to Google.

I should have actually committed to learning Rust a while ago. The momentum behind it is too strong to ignore now: the language has mostly matured, big companies are using it, and the technical advantages are apparent.

2024-01-26 11:08:07

Rust is not the final evolution of programming languages. But it did do something great: "introduced using the type system to enforce rules on resource usage into the mainstream." I was just thinking about how linear types might help with this the other day, so I am pleasantly surprised to see a new project like Austral making it a reality.

If the consensus rules cannot be cleanly separated from the Bitcoin Core implementation, and "the code is the spec", then that is a design flaw. Appealing to the consequences of consensus failure in order to justify this flaw is backwards. I don't blame other teams for at least trying.
BGP is a networking protocol which is also consensus-driven (the global routing table for IP networks) and it has had major issues, which required upgrades and config fixes, but it works okay and has multiple production ready implementations. This is despite the first draft literally being written on napkins. We should learn from BGP and other protocols to inform Bitcoin network development rather than spurn the ideas of specifications and standards entirely. I'm not saying technical specifications are always amazing or that a project without one is awful, but any spec is better than no spec.
