Who the fuck cares?

I’d definitely be interested.

I did something like this a while back when I attempted to create an official Cardano dev/Stake Pool operator machine. I ended up realizing that a whole config is too personal to try an standardize but parts of my shared configs DID help other Cardano devs and Stake pool operators get a rock-solid Cardano dev/SPO setup that could be cloned into a myraid of different types of machines and configs.

the most mainstream one for the moment.

It’s a ghost town (much like this comment thread). ;)

Being an early adopter can be boring sometimes.

Ruby, Python, PHP, and JavaScript. 🤮

Trying to build Lemmy entirely from a flake for my rolling fork. I’m a big Nix fanboi so I figured the first project in my fork would be to get it running like I did with my Haskell/Purescript projects that use nix and flakes for EVERYTHING.

edit: anyone out there have any pointers?

I’ve been looking into building and developing a Lemmy fork using Nix but I got stuck on nixifying the part of the build instructions where you have to combine front end and back end in git submodules. It’s a bummer too because I won’t even write a single line of code on this fork until I have it properly setup with flakes. It’s just how I am. 🤣

Maybe my flake can help you get Tauri working and maybe that would motivate you to help me get Lemmy working with Nix tooling instead of Ansible and Docker as it is now? ;)

Nice. I don’t know much about Nim.

I should also mention: Once Purescript switches over to a Chez Scheme compiled back end, it would be (IMO) the ideal lightweight Haskell, suited to quick terminal apps that you’re looking for.

As someone else mentioned, you should rewrite this in Haskell (or Purescript or Scala or even Python’s ‘Coconut’) because using vanilla Python for functional programming is like driving Formula 1 with a Toyota Camry.

Learn Haskell.

Since it is a research language, it is packed with academically-rigorous implementations of advanced features (currying, lambda expressions, pattern matching, list comprehension, type classes/type polymorphism, monads, laziness, strong typing, algebraic data types, parser combinators that allow you to implement a DSL in 20 lines, making illegal states unrepresentable, etc) that eventually make their way into other languages. It will force you to learn some of the more advanced concepts in programming while also giving you a new perspective that will improve your code in any language you might use.

I was big into embedded C programming years back … and when I got to the pointers part, I couldn’t figure out why I suddenly felt unsatisfied and that I was somehow doing something wrong. That instinct ended up being at least partially correct. I sensed that I was doing something unsafe (which forced me to be very careful around footguns like pointers, dedicating extra mental processes to keep track of those inherently unsafe solutions) and I wished there was some more elegant way around unsafe actions like that (or at least some language provided way of making sure those unintended side effects could be enforced by the compiler, which would prevent these kinds of bugs from getting into my code).

Years later, after not enjoying JS, TS (IMO, a porous condom over the tip of JavaScript), Swift, Python, and others, my journey brought me to FRP which eventually brought me to FP and with it, Haskell, Purescript, Rust, and Nix. I now regularly feel the same satisfaction using those languages that I felt when solving a math problem correctly. Refactoring is a pleasure with strictly typed languages like that because the compiler catches almost everything before it will even let you compile.

Maybe Nikon will be able to guide them into not making dogshit cameras compared to their competitors while using snake oil sales tactics to lie to their end users who are virtually immune to that bullshit.

Full disclosure: Trump bad! Biden GOOD!

You’re disappointed but personally, it’s hard NOT to feel a great deal of schadenfreude when:

the guy who, for his entire career, has openly accepted bribes in exchange for legislation that is economically violent toward his own constituents now presumably wants the exact same constituents he sold out to vote for him

and is using small, meaningless crumbs to gain that vote when he could have just NOT ENABLED A GENOCIDE.

If this situation doesn’t make you a true believer about there being no hope, I honestly don’t know what will. I lost hope in 2016 and have just been laughing through the bullshit since then. It’s exactly as real as pro wrestling at this point.

Full disclosure: TRUMP bad! Biden GOOD!.

It’s why I never voted for that piece of shit. The very architect of my indentured servitude (presumably but not demonstrably) wanted and wants my vote. Wouldn’t even piss on him if he was on fire. On fire much like Aaron Bushnell who set himself on fire trying to break through this country’s propaganda wall to bring attention to a literal genocide enabled by the executive orders from this same piece of shit Zionist.

How far gone is electoralism in the US when the incumbent can run virtually unopposed while enthusiastically enabling a historically brutal genocide?

Fun days ahead!

Full disclosure: Trump bad! Biden good!

I think people are downvoting you because you didn’t start with that disclosure.

Impressive considering he reports directly to MBNA.
The article misrepresents it a bit because he didn’t just back it. He actually WROTE that bill.

I suppose, if it comes to that, nothing is stopping devs like me from hard-forking Cardano’s open source code and launching that fork with a 100% public initial token allocation. I’ve honestly already been considering that option for a while now.

Hopefully you’re wrong and it never comes to that… but I’d be ready if it did, for sure.

None of them do what I’m trying to do but thanks for the advice. I’m working on a DApp in the Cardano ecosystem that uses data from an Oracle on Ergo. Not sure if you consider Cardano or Ergo illegal securities but the SEC hasn’t come after them YET.

I’ll sincerely take your example/suggestions to heart moving forward on my own project. I had different ideas about what a fair distribution is and this really turns that on its head. This idea satisfies many of the more egalitarian instincts I have.

Thank you.

Interesting. I like your idealism.

As a dev myself, it’s a pretty hard sell to get collaborators as it is. I can’t imagine that I’d be able to find ANY if I were to roll my entirely own cryptocurrency with fully realized tokenmonics on consensus algorithm on day one. Sounds like your idea couldn’t possibly be implemented in a staking context as well.

Do you know of any projects that did it this way (Bitcoin, IMO, doesn’t count since the devs DID end up taking a huge stake in it for themselves)

Do you count the core devs (who maintain/write the core protocol), the foundation (preferably a DAO or voting based organization that is responsible for earmarking the funding for the upgrades and projects for the community), and treasury (that distributes mining/staking rewards and collects the fees for later distribution) as fair distribution? I do (depending on the structure of the aforementioned organizations obviously). Just wondering where you sit on that issue and any of projects that you can point to that have that ideal token allocation you speak of.

I haven’t found a more fair ITA than Ergo but then again, the Ergo project seems to have trouble paying/attracting really solid core devs other than the founder, Kushti.

Edit: took out some mention of my favorite project. Want to be impartial here.
