  1. I use my old Raspberry Pi as a provate git repo host on my LAN. Among many other repos, it includes a repo in which I keep my dream journal, which is a plain text file that is formatted with the date followed by paragraphs, with each entry separated by new lines. I'm definitely a fan.

  2. Technically wrong about mathematics being something purely discovered. There are provable paradoxes at the center of mathematics due to the axioms used in its construction, specifically in set theory as the foundation of all mathematics. Russell's Paradox is the most well known.

  3. I think that "monotropism" is a concept you will appreciate with regard to the way our minds work when engaging a topic.

  4. Jeff Snider and Emil Kalinowski recently revisited the theory about inventory build-up they noticed in October being a predictor for a 2022 recession. They also made a video about it last year as well. Inventory cycle + eurodollar future curve inversions + recent TSY yield curve inversion + crude oil and food price spikes = apparent recession looming in the near future.

  5. Mark et al. have been on point. Really satisfying to see a channel grow like this over the last several years. Top notch. Also, if you want help moderating to remove the impersonators/scammers, I volunteer.

  7. When I saw the commujity post, the 8-rayed symmetry of 3 of the aion sigils immediately caught my attention, as did the name "Jeu" which I thought of as "the hieroglyphist in his letter". I wonder if there is some type of resonance between Venus/Inanna and these aions, and I wonder if there is any etymologicsl connection between these two "Jeu"s.

  8. I kinda want Rust's memory management in a Python interpreter. To me, that is the most compelling feature and the only major improvement that could be added to Python other than optional strict, static typing. (To simulate the latter, I use assert preconditions.)

  9. In America, we have a grocery store chain called Aldi that uses quarters in their shopping carts to encourage people to put their shopping carts back rather than hire someone to go run around the parking lot collecting them. It isn't an antitheft measure since the quarter stays in the cart, so you never lose possession of your small piece of shiny copper.

  10. I have not really liked using Rust so far with an admittedly small sample size, but I do really love the deep, detailed discussions that the Rust community tends to generate. The merging of high level functional programming and low level memory control has been enlightening to witness and learn about. I feel inspired to make my own language (well, another language -- I've already made a simple language for building embedded ACLs that compiles to bytecode and is extensible with up to an additional 194 operators) that merges some Lisp syntax with lexical scoping, more data structures than just a singly-linked list, consistent and no-nonsense naming convention, reference counted pointers for all variables, and no heap memory. The algebraic type system and idiomatic result handling are things that will probably make it into the first version.

  11. No way. I'm actually first. Groovy.

  12. In SWFL, I have been able to grow sweet potatoes, but I have had no luck at all with regular potatoes. I tried several varieties, but I haven't been able to figure it out. The best producers in all of my agricultural/permacultural experimentation have been cowpeas, okra, and pigeon peas. Everything else was pretty meager, obnoxious, weak to pests, or a combination. But then again, I was working with suburban nonsense soils that I had tried to rejuvenate with compost, mulch, and huegelkultur.

  13. I might be mistaken, but the newest Wasm standard being currently rolled out supports a garbage collection mode that does not require bundling a garbage collector. Wasm looks like it will be the new, universal platform target for compilers -- basically fulfilling what Java wanted to do. Also, the Go dev team is currently experimenting with arena allocations, which will significantly improve the control programmers have over memory management, but, even without arena allocation, it is possible to manually manage memory in Go to some extent for performance optimization -- it is tricky, but still a lot easier to get a handle on than Rust RAII imo. The greatest strengths of Go are the mild learning curve and excellent concurrency model. The greatest strengths of Rust by comparison are more consistent performance for large applications, good performance on resource-constrained/embedded systems, and the ability to tell people that you write code in Rust.

  14. "Come to me, lord Hermes, as fetuses do to the wombs of women. ... I also know what your forms are: in the east, you have the form of an ibis; in the west, you have the form of a dog-faced baboon; in the north, you have the form of a serpent; in the south, you have the form of a wolf. ... Whereas Isis, the greatest of all the gods, invoked you in every crisis, in every district, against gods and men and daimons, creatures of water and earth, and held your favor, for victory against gods and men and all the creatures beneath the world, so also I, NN, invoke you. ..." -- PGM VIII 1-63, "Astrapsoukos"

  15. Mark, I recommend the Dune series. I know the hero's journey resonates strongly with most people, but it is an incomplete model; Dune contains a better commentary on human society.

  16. From what I have seen, Ukraone has been rooting out corruption, almost as if they were in some kind of existential struggle and couldn't afford to let resources go missing or something.

  17.  @NoBoilerplate  it might be, but it doesn't turn my stomach sour like JavaScript. I'm unconvinced that I can use Rust to do all the things I do with Python, for example having a multiplatform contract that commits to a single piece of code by its content hash.

  18. Interesting and sensible thesis.

  19. Rust does not have enough NaCl/libsodium functionality exposed in its crates for my purposes, and I do not believe it makes sense to spend the time to learn both Rust and how to extend the NaCl and libsodium crates when I have a functional alternative in which I have already written many working modules. So I'll have to pass on it for the moment as tempting as it is.

  20. I recently was a groomsman in a wedding. I wore earplugs at the reception, and it was still so loud that I had to leave after dinner. I practiced violin on the balcony to de-stress until my carpool was ready to head back home, but I could still feel all the noise through my feet. At almost every such event, every neurotypical person I speak to recognizes that the loudness is excessive and says they wish they had brought earplugs, yet these events keep transpiring with loud noise and no earplugs. It doesn't make any sense.

  21. "Chamelea" is a funny way to pronounce Kamala. (I don't care, but it is funny.) Her biggest issue is that her personality on camera is exceptionally awkward and weird -- she has the caricature of "cackling witch" attached to her reputation. If she can overcome that, she can win against Trump.

  23. About 3 minutes into the video, and I'm already thinking about how I might make something similar using CRDTs. Probably easier to just use git under the hood for plain text files.

  25.  @NoBoilerplate  I'll check out that video. On the code/contract commitment topic, you could commit to the source code with Rust, but then you would have to recompile before running every single time to ensure you are running the code in the commitment. Of course, there is an implicit security assumption with implementing this in Python that the interpreters will be compatible, so it isn't that different. The secure distribution of software is still technically unsolved. I suppose that the largest issue preventing my use of Rust is that I haven't been using it, so I lack the confidence to build things with it. Do you have any resources for Rust TDD that you would recommend to a Rust noob? Edit for side note: I wish Python had an immutable/frozen dict type. It really does not make sense that it does not.

  27. Actual magic is either disorienting or downright disturbing to interact with. Idk if you meant the ambiguous world of numinous phenomena when you said "magic", but I figured I'd give my 2¢ anyway. I just finished driving across the continent because some magical events transpired; it has been a bit of an ordeal, and the journey is less than half done. I'll be back home in Florida after another week or so, making this a 3 week journey that originally began as a 1 week plan. Real magic is quite disruptive, but that is kind of the point: if you don't want a massive change in your life (or at least the options for massive change), leave the numinous alone and hope it reciprocates. But if you want to see miracles, they are waiting to be made manifest. Material reality is just the collected patterns of information that sit on top of dreams.

  28. I tend to view things like Copilot and Kite with a bit of skepticism. With Kite, the AI model supposedly runs on your local machine rather than in the cloud somewhere like with Copilot. I have not tried either, but I will probably try Kite at some point. Sending all of my code to a server somewhere to be analyzed by a robot is not something I necessarily want to do, but I can be convinced to let a robot on my dev machine take a look at it.

  29.  @NoBoilerplate  it takes a bit of experimentation to understand how to use any concurrency system correctly. You wouldn't ship untested code, so I don't see this lack of hand-holding by the Go compiler to be a deal breaker.

  31. Just a quick sidenote: I think there is nothing inherently wrong with comparing fruits, e.g. apples and oranges, so long as you also contrast them.

  32. When you make your video about Monero, do you plan to compare/contrast with other privacy coin systems?

  34.  @NoBoilerplate  looks like that first one might work. I'll look into it more closely when I get back to my desk. (Spent the night in the woods somewhat accidentally.)

  35. I agree that it would be good long term, but I approach it from an alternate angle: the illusion of neutrality in the USD system should be broken so that its monetary premium which guts American industry is dissipated. The current system relies too much on the Cantillon effect to suck wealth away from the rest of the world to enrich bankers. Long term economic health for the world will require an actually neutral form of money imo.

  36. Rust has a lot of nice features, but as a Python dev/artist, I find Rust code to be as ugly as c/c++. It seems unlikely to me that coding in Rust would be as pleasant as coding in Python. My Python code is often described by those who read it as beautiful, and that aesthetic appeal is part of what makes writing Python an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Are there any examples you care to share of what you consider to be beautiful Rust code? If I can be convinced that it is possible to build beautiful Rust code, then I might be convinced to spend the time necessary to learn how to do so.

  37.  @NoBoilerplate  I'll check out that video. I write primarily typed Python, use pre-conditions and sometimes post-conditions, and use a test- and specification-driven development cycle, so I don't worry much about things being broken. And like I said, the idea of my code being clean and beautiful is reinforced by feedback I have gotten from others who have perused it, so the assertion that nobody will agree with my definition of beauty in this case is false. Maybe there is an argument to be made that Rust development saves time on writing pre- and post-conditions, but whether that offsets the time commitment to learning a new language when I'm already proficient in the three or four that I regularly use is an open question. I can appreciate that there is beauty in that Rust example, at least conceptually, but I wouldn't call it "objectively beautiful" since there is no such thing. Whether or not it is aesthetically appealing also depends upon the surrounding code in my opinion -- part of what makes my code clean is that I use standardized forms that are easy on the eyes (pep8 with my own subjective flare). The ".collect::<Vec<i32>>();" to my eyes does not look particularly clean and beautiful -- it looks like someone copied and pasted html and JavaScript in a confused and haphazard way, but that could be my web dev background coloring my perspective. I also found Java code distasteful for the same reason. Angle brackets are just ugly unless padded with whitespace, and they only make sense as comparison operators in that case.

  38. I guessed that it was the top corners somewhat arbitrarily.

  39. Fwiw I prefer the phrase "experience is the best teacher" over "fake it till you make it". Same principle, just less scandalous formulation that does not leave room for the inference that deception is condoned or advised. I'm sure most people have a story or two of someone getting burned in this industry because someone else misrepresented their abilities, and "fake it till you make it" like like it condones such behavior.

  40. Hard agree on Markdown. I even wrote and published a tool called autodox that automagically documents Python modules via introspection, and it outputs exclusively Markdown. (It also has some formatting options, but I don't use them -- the default formatting is pretty good imo.)

  41.  @NoBoilerplate  except that plain text does not have good merge semantics, hence the necessity of manually resolving merge conflicts in git. Google Docs and Figma use CRDTs for collaborative editing of shared state, but my main concern is supporting offline app use by ensuring strong eventual consistency (i.e. after all nodes synchronize all updates, each node will arrive at the same state no matter the order of update application, number of times an update is applied, or any finite delays introduced; as long as all nodes eventually get all updates, they will converge to identical state). It would be fairly easy to output plain text after assembling the data view from the underlying CRDT(s), but plain text itself is not viable for strong eventual consistency.

  42. I disagree with a number of points, but at least nobody is saying anything about "intrinsic balue", which doesn't exist, so that's a plus.

  43. Fwip. Wish ThemTube wouldn't censor comments so heavily -- it's not like they are stopping obvious scans from getting through, but for whatever reason they have decided that satire is verboten.

  44. 4:17 did you really suggest we should be teaching kids to program in BASIC? So behind the times -- what the industry really needa right now is actually COBOL. (Only half joking.)

  46. I'm going to soon get some ESP32 development devices and play around with micropython. I'll post code and results on the discord server. Micropython might be a worthwhile topic for some videos, and it looks like a lot of fun.

  47. ThemTube really fucking hates links to government websites showing statistical facts, so I can't post the link to the FRED graph. They even censor the graph code. Maybe a creole will work: el kay queue three.

  49. Short ETFs are terrible. The better way to hedge real estate is by finding a residential REIT and buying long dated put options. The option premium then becomes an insurance premium to hedge the housing price level.

  52. I think this is a really good format. Not only is it topical, but there will be additional replay value for months to come since it is not tied to a specific set of breaking news items. I also enjoyed it quite a bit. The background music choice was also pretty good since it still sounds good at 1.25x, 1.5x, and 1.75x speeds -- a lot of music sounds atrocious when sped up, but thankfully this does not.
