Yeah…f this. I feel harmed. I put my family through a lot to be responsible.

We left California last year because our rent was too high for risky times. This fucking sucks. We could have stayed and Saved a ton of our kid’s and our heartbreak and our landlord(a great guy) could have been made whole. Wtf?

If anyone out there is involved with this I am very interested and very motivated to figure out if I can get a JavaScript engine running in a DFINITY canister. I just need a compiled wasm and a candid file to try it out. I think. The wasm might need to be compiled in a particular way.

They've already been designed. You just have to go all the way with it to create something interesting Http://catallax.info

I'd be super interested in seeing how much of this is really wasmified. I'd love to see if this could get running in a DFINITY Canister.

I want to run it in DFINITY’s ICP.

Can I compile the engine to wasm? Yes I want to run JS on wasm. Yes I have a reason.

When I heard that they were going to monetize with 'tipping' my heart sank. If ever there was an opportunity for 'a rising tide lifts all boats' style social experiment, clubhouse was it. Charge a subscription, let people listen to long tail content that interests them, pay the people that get listened to. You incentives the creation of interesting conversations. It would have been like a giant long tail podcast generator where serendipity and intellect could spin out a lot of new ideas. Boo.

There was so much promise. After a year of quarantine I had 5 of my most interesting non work/family conversations of the year in a one week period. There was no real way for me to connect with those people without wading into the morass of twitter or instagram. I tried to build a tool (https://inof.me) to help people connect by providing an invitation and an asking for an offer. No one was really interested...it needed to be integrated into the platform to work. I couldn't block topics. I couldn't search for terms of active channels. I couldn't politely ping interesting people and ask if they'd like to set up a time to chat.

I love talking about decaying currency, certain(non-NFT) blockchain topics, Longhorn football, some philosophy topics, etc and I'll talk to anyone about them most all of the time if I can find a conversation partner(especially during quarantine). I had no real way to make those connection on clubhouse even though I had spoken with interested folks previously.

Most of all, I couldn't catch up. If an amazing conversation happened that you were late to...too bad. You couldn't explore and find if the person speaking was really trustworthy by looking at their back catalogs.

I wanted a clubhouse that lets me pay $9.99 a month to have access to a back catalogs that will let me listen to the interesting conversations that occurred in the past about very long-tail specific topics. Then I want to star those people with different color stars and notification levels so that if they start talking again I can quickly see what kind of conversation it is and jump in. If I'm late I want to back up 30 minutes and listen at 1.75x until I'm caught up. Give me the knobs and dials to customize my experience.

Trying to find examples of optimized land use in Houston seems to be a bit....um....what is the word for "absurd beyond the point that reason and logic would allow"?

I wish they would just charge a subscription fee for access to the back catalog and distribute a chunk of it to people based on an algo that encourages discussion and interaction. I have no desire to find 'content' on CH. I have had some awesome conversations with people on a wide range of fairly niche topics that never would have happened 'in the real world' without something like CH attracting a large following.

I want a coffeescript that lets me define types when I want to, but doesn't require it. Thanks.

Jesus. Could people please just not suck so horribly bad.

Still use coffeescriot when I need to do something quick. It has added all the async goodness of the more recent js implementations and it is still 10x easier to read and makes me 10x more effective.

How do you actually use this? Looks like you need to plug it into something? I signed up for the demo, but it didn't ask me what level I was or anything like that.

Have you watched the watchman tv show yet? Never read the books or watched the movie but this series caught me so off guard. It was wonderful and strange. At least strange from pre 2020 standards. If squid fell from the sky tomorrow I’d just brush it off at this point.

I haven’t read anthem, but his latest is in the cryptonomicon universe....ties up a couple loose ends...or at least shows some repercussions.

If you didn’t know....and I don’t want this to be a spoiler, but you figure it out in the first few pages...Fall is a direct and some what spiritual sequel to your two lowest rated....that being said it waves in a good bit of the snowcrash absurd stuff as well.

I really like https://shacknews.com/chatty. I've been going there for years.

I even 'rebuilt' it tried to sell it as a service once (http://xcursi.com - warning, the cert is expired and I've been too lazy to replace it).

All the things by Christopher Alexander(Start with timeless way...explore the pattern language...move on to Nature of order...then others.)

Zen and Lila by Pirsig

Beginning of Infinity by Deutsch.

And potentially misfocused. Read The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch for a counter point.

Together we can solve this problem.

I use my quest every day and my kids love it.

Don't wait. The timeless way of building can be finished in an afternoon and is worth your time.

I'd recommend Thriving System Theory by Leslie J. Waguespack that integrates Alexander's Ideas across the development of systems. - https://amzn.to/3bdoSxA

I also wrote a book where I took a number of Alexander's ideas and applied them to creating a crypto based economic system. - https://amzn.to/2RGhfIf - Probably not interesting unless you are really into crypto or really into pattern languages.

I was in Berkeley a couple of years ago and went on a bit of a pilgrimage up the hill to find some of the house that he designed. I ended up running into some of his family and felt like an ass for invading their privacy(I had no idea they still lived in one of the houses), but was able to speak with one of his daughters and he was apparently not doing so well back then. Every time I see his stuff come up on here I worry that it is bad news.

Alexander inspired most of what I put together in this proposal for a new financial systems: https://amzn.to/37DAVSG

War and Peace will help you better understand and deal with the constant change in your requirements and why you are right that management has no fucking clue. Also, great value for your audible credit.

The follow up Lila goes deeper. If you loved Zen you should give it a shot.
