Quaternions seem daunting until you realize SO(2) ≅ unit complex numbers 🌐, and unit quaternions are SU(2) 🔄. Spinors? Just SU(2)’s ‘square roots’ of SO(3) rotations (yes, 720° to loop 😉). All those game devs sweating Euler angles—it’s just quaternion cosplay.

l just saw this gay guy say that hookup culture and pride were the reasons why we were going to lose our rights as gay men. How do you know so little of which you speak? How do you not know the history of your community so much that you look at those as the sources of why we will lose our rights.

It was the kinksters. It was the fetishists. It was the poly people. It was the sex workers. It was the people on the margin that needed the rights the most.

It was the monogamous couples that probably needed the rights the least in all reality. Not to say that they were inactive, but you got to really whitewash history to think that that's the ideal of our community. It's not.

because I think that what it's done is it has made us fetishize this very particular way of being gay. As a result, a lot of younger gay men look at all the other ways, at all the other lived experiences of gay men and think that, Oh, those were just like, those are parts of a bygone era.

No, those are the reasons why we are still gay. Those are the reasons why we still need our rights. It's funny because it's the very monogamous, basically straight, but gay coupling that is shown in the Love, Simon media. It was usually not that side of things that was fighting for our rights.

Those are how we got our rights in the first place. That's where we were organizing. I got to just say this. I think that the whole love Simon media push of the last decade has, in fact, created new problems for the gay community

Is it that hard to make a cash like currency? I mean solana already has privacy enable transactions just make another coin pegged to the value of like USDC and make it totally anonymous. lol... I have tried so many approaches and this code is just hard

Am I the weirdo for asking my ISP for IPv6 allocations? Or is it even weirder that they haven't even written the code for supporting it on business or residential? ... I had to walk into a corporate office and explain I am an engineer before someone explained.

Most underrated package/crate is Neon-rs I am the psychopath that loves to bring rust's borrowing into javascript and react projects.

Is it just me or is being a developer like the most insecure thing? How is npm not a dumpster fire of malware infected deps?

Ok so i think X is having a melt down opened it for the first time in a while ppl have 70k gcp bills, cursor is bugging out, tweets now say subscribe to view them. Its gross.

1/25 Let's talk about building a revolutionary cryptocurrency that prioritizes societal utility over private equity interests. This open-source project would create a cash-like digital currency with offline capabilities and enhanced privacy. 🌐💰

22/25 The technology exists to make this a reality. What we need now is the will to build it, and a community dedicated to its development and adoption. 💪🚀

23/25 This isn't just about creating another cryptocurrency. It's about building a financial tool that serves society, not just investors. It's about putting the power of money back in the hands of the people. 💰👥

20/25 Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of their banking status, can participate in the digital economy. Where transactions are private by default, and offline use is seamless. 🌈💰

21/25 This project could revolutionize how we think about and use money. It could provide financial tools to the unbanked, enhance privacy for all users, and create a more inclusive global economy. 🌍💼

18/25 This isn't just a technical challenge – it's a societal one. We're reimagining money for the digital age, prioritizing privacy, accessibility, and fairness. 🌍💼

19/25 By making this an open-source project, we ensure transparency and invite collaboration from developers worldwide. This isn't about enriching a single company, but empowering society as a whole. 🌐👨‍💻👩‍💻

16/25 Achieving a network effect is vital. The currency needs to be widely adopted to be useful for everyday transactions. This requires strategic partnerships and community building. 🌐🤝

17/25 Security is paramount. We must balance offline usability with robust protection against counterfeiting and double-spending. This will require ongoing research and development. 🛡️🔬

14/25 This project faces several challenges, including regulatory compliance. We'd need to ensure the system meets AML/KYC requirements while maintaining privacy. It's a delicate balance, but crucial for widespread adoption. ⚖️📜

15/25 User experience is another key consideration. The system needs to be as easy to use as physical cash. Simplicity and intuitive design will be crucial for mass adoption. 👥💡

12/25 Using NFTs for offline tokens would prevent double-spending, allow for easier tracking and cancellation of stolen tokens, and enable more granular control over token validity periods and usage limits. 🕰️🔍

13/25 Additional security measures could include transaction limits on offline wallets, quantum-secure cryptographic keys, and software-based trusted execution environments for secure offline transactions. 🔒💪

10/25 To further discourage hoarding, we could cap the maximum amount held in a single wallet. This mimics the practical limits of storing and transporting physical cash. 💼🔝

11/25 While the currency itself would be fungible like cash, the offline tokens could be implemented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with unique identifiers. This adds an extra layer of security. 🔢🛡️

8/25 To discourage speculative use and promote circulation, we could implement a demurrage system. The currency would slowly lose value over time if not used, encouraging spending rather than hoarding. 📉💸

9/25 We'd also restrict or eliminate features like futures contracts or margin trading on the protocol level. This isn't meant to be a tool for financial speculation, but a utility for everyday transactions. 🚫📈

6/25 To maintain privacy after reconnection, we'd use a combination of blind signatures and zk-SNARKs. This would allow the creation of tokens that the issuer (the blockchain network) can't trace. 👁️‍🗨️🔐

7/25 When reconnecting, users would submit zk-SNARK proofs demonstrating they possessed valid offline tokens, transferred them legitimately, and their total balance is correct. All without revealing transaction history! 📊✅

4/25 These offline tokens could be transferred between users without an internet connection, using methods like Bluetooth or NFC. Imagine exchanging digital cash as easily as handing over physical bills! 📱↔️📱

5/25 When users reconnect to the network, they can "redeem" these offline tokens, converting them back to the main cryptocurrency. This ensures seamless integration between online and offline use. 🔄💻

2/25 The core of this system would use zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), similar to Zcash. This allows for private transactions where details like amount, sender, and receiver are hidden from the public blockchain. 🕵️‍♀️🔒

3/25 To enable offline transactions, we'd implement a token-based approach. Users would "mint" offline tokens from their online balance when connected to the network. 📶➡️💱

I will never understand windows lovers just on the basis of not having a core package manager. That alone is worth switching

Hill I will die on... Real developers have at least one physical server they built so they didn't have to pay for hosting of something semi complex.

We built Linux and the internet protocols without venture capital. We created incredible open-source tools that power most of the modern web. Yet somehow, when it came to cryptocurrency, we rolled over and let private equity turn our decentralization movement into a speculative casino.
