https://www.bccourts.ca/documents/Website_Announcement-COVID-19.pdf apparently you don't have to go if you're quarantining. dope.

I have been summoned for jury duty just after the bitcoin conference. are you kidding me. dunno how that is going to work when I'm supposed to be quarantined?

name a more transparent monetary policy

periodic reminder that I run http://npmrepo.com, if you make a search engine browser shortcut to http://npmrepo.com/%s then you can easily jump to any node package's git repo.

ie: try npmrepo .com/react

Bitcoin doesn't have to have good UX in same sense TCP/IP doesn't have to have good UX. It just has to work.

Bitcoin is the TCP/IP of value.

everytime I hear people say Bitcoin has bad UX I just mentally replace Bitcoin with a conversation about TCP/IP:

"TCP/IP has bad UX and is too complicated for regular people to use day to day. I will stick to transcribing things over the phone, thanks though".

still don't understand why nix hasn't taken over the world. it solves 99% of dev painpoints. I have used docker a few times but it's such a hack in comparison.

The more I code Rust coming from Haskell, the more I realize how it gravitationally pulls you into a similar immutable, value-oriented code structure. I mean you could fight it and try to use mutable references everywhere but the borrow checker will fight you to the death.

working on a cool rust bitcoin project. don't want to hype it up too much yet though. let's just say it's motivated by the fact I don't want to run dotnet on my servers.

Go is chill in the sense it doesn't activate any interesting parts of my brain. I just mindlessly type repetitive instructions, the computer goes beep boop and it works.

well probably machine learning too but it's a much newer field and I feel like you can probably get the gist of it in a few years.

think I might deep dive into machine learning after physics, although I feel like physics is going to be more a lifelong thing. insanely deep and rich subject.

optimized day today. <3 my timeblocking app. I would be hopeless without it.

anyone want to buy my whale pass if I test positive for covid at the border? 😅

best part of this:

"There is a mathematical relation between the rotation by 2pi and the exchange of particles."

"Most theoretical physiscists dont know this"
