what if the real reason for the apparent slow of the bitcoin price over its history is that the global economy is slowing at such a rate that there isn't resources to spend on bitcoins?

it's still the best savings asset, and the most resistant money to confiscation

that is a different kind of value that doesn't relate to dollars

which part of "confiscating your assets" does not sound like the actions of a dictatorship?

european union can go to hell

they are gonna do really bad keeping support here on the island, everyone is already poor here thanks to the banks blowing a real estate bubble here by lending for housing and tourism

meanwhile i'm planning on having a boat so i can just scoot off to cabo verde and seek asylum as a refugee from a dictatorship :)

or even, just kinda get used to not having certain easy access to things... i mean, EU banks are now out of the question, wdyt?

day 3 of no caffeine

i have way more focus

ironically i seem to be sleeping less

i never heard of this, so now i know, cos i always thought max headroom was kinda gay but this is uper not gay

#golang #devstr this is the best #openapi tooling i have found

my vietnamese colleague who does smart contracts and backend servers in javascript uses some whizz-bang thing that lets him define the openapi spec in native code

this is not what you expect when you first are looking at this swagger/openapi stuff, you see "needs a spec written"

the dude literally didn't even know this was a thing, how bout dat

i had to figure all of this stuff out for myself and i spent since friday trying to make one of the toolkits for it work, i tried swagger 2.0 i tried openapi 3, i tried like 4 different generators, all of them shit, except go-swagger, which locks you into an extremely limited framework that is hard to poke normal fucking things into without making it painful

huma just does the job... literally just declare the function as a closure with a struct defined in situ and voila, wham, bam, thankyou ma'am, here's your json formatted spec and web GUI available at /docs to boot

everything else has been a nightmare, i hope that i can move forward quickly with this because the people at my fiat mine think i'm incompetent even though i have literally written the almost entire underpinning of the server that i was assigned to and none of them can even understand how a recommendation engine works, and it's like, uh

:cry:

it's just a thing that mines user data and compares profiles to find similar profiles and then uses that to make evaluations or suggestions based on it

well, anyway... it's a job, and it gets a bit frustrating at times being a back end dev, i have successfully won the bounties on several grant projects last year, despite incredible obstacles (mostly nostr obstacles) so now i'm moving towards more generic stuff, and coinciding with it is that i can now apply this knowledge to finally implement the nostr http api

once they see the heroku endpoints up and running (and omg don't get me started on heroku what a shitshow) they will start to understand

what's even more annoying is that they think i'm going slow and it's taken literally 4 weeks for the front end and back end guys to add like 4 small things and they aren't in production yet so i can't even test my algorithms on live data, so i'm trapped here in disregarded land while i can see what i have done but zero others can, i'm literally the only person in my company who can write an advanced algorithm, and this what i'm doing now isn't even nearly as complex as what i have done before

the json data format shit though, i hope i'm gonna bump into some tricks to speed up how fast i adapt to their shitty lack of typing because the Go native json parser turns everything into generic interfaces and slices of interface and this means i have to write manual code to identify and unpack all of that to put it into strictly typed data structures

and they think it's slow doing 400 million comparisons, created by the (n-1)n pattern of a recommendation matrix

anyway, just venting but now time to hit this huma and regain some of my humor

oof, couldn't sleep tonight

and i'm sitting at my pc and my double vision is really bad

i'm probably gonna call this "i'm sick" because it's really hard to work in this state

i am now suffering the caffeine withrdawals, feeling very agitated and irritated... but then again, i was way more bugged a few days back

ok, maybe it was the same thing then because i dialed back the caffeine at that time

i hope tomorrow is better, because this is the vibes of my mind at the moment:

can anyone explain to me how someone complains about learning the simplest language in wide use while in the same note mentions rust?

is there some kind of a campaign to make people allergic to simpler languages?

here's my suggestion, kid, write the fucking thing in assembler

i fed #mochi the #catstr with one small fancy expensive can of garbage today, and within hours his tongue was sticking out again and his food hassling resumed

he has been assigend a good 100g stek that i sliced nicely in pieces for him to tear apart

he turned his nose up at it like a junky drying out being offered food while he is 50% of the way to ded from starvation

he eats, or he waits until later, and then he eats

i don't make the rules

the pasteurised tuna is not so bad but when he eats this angus beef he doesn't need to eat for two days, which tells me that this other shit is just causing me nagging and causing him inflamed gums
