We will support the Deno runtime for another year with monthly releases containing bug fixes and security updates. After that year we will end our development of the Deno runtime. Deno will remain open source, and we welcome others who want to continue its development. Deno Deploy will continue operating for six months before shutting down. We will provide migration support for paying customers moving to Cloudflare Workers. JSR will continue operating, with its infrastructure moving to Cloudflare. We will continue supporting rusty_v8 and work toward integrating it into workerd.

The Rise of the Meat Proxy: You're not an engineer anymore, you're an "organic vessel designed to press enter." Or, as one user so poetically put it, you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked. Your only real job is to be the warm body they can blame when the AI slop inevitably breaks.

A few interesting things come out of these results. LevelDB is the winner on disk space utilization, RocksDB is the winner on reads and deletes, and HyperLevelDB is the winner on writes. On smaller runs (30M or less), LMDB came out on top on most of the metrics except for disk size. This is actually what we’d expect for B-trees: they’re faster the fewer keys you have in them.

At first glance, this is a heartwarming story. The wolf, in the abstract, is a majestic creature. It's great to see a species return after a few centuries of absence. You don't have to be a vegan hippie to find that appealing. But it's still a wolf! There's a reason why the last known wolf in Denmark didn't just wander off, but was shot dead in 1813.

This NIP defines a convention for AI agents to store persistent, structured memory — engrams — on Nostr. Memory consists of addressable kind:30174 events (NIP-01) signed by the agent's key and encrypted with NIP-44 using the conversation key between the agent and its owner. Because that key is symmetric, both parties decrypt every event; the owner can always read everything the agent remembers.

Well there was the girl who nearly killed herself by soaking in a bathtub full of vodka and grey sharpies to try and dye her skin for her troll cosplay. And the fact that a bunch of fans sent the creator a MASSIVE horse dildo that later ended up in the comic. And the two people who spent $10,000 dollars a piece to have their OC’s appear for one frame and be immediately killed. And the one time a homestuck flash update ended up DDoSing newgrounds by accident. And the totally irregular update schedule made it so there was an application developed to tell you when the comic updated. The culture around homestuck is really surreal to look back on just for the sheer volume of alternate universes and fans works and in jokes and subcultures that developed within one fandom. It really makes me wonder if anyone will be able to capture that level of obsessive enthusiasm again. Like people joke about Steven universe being the new homestuck and I can see some parallels but that fandom still seems way smaller and way less messed up than homestuck at it’s peak.[1]

This week, Alex Gleason announced the release of NostrHub 2.0, a nostr-native place for nostr protocol documents (affectionately referred to as “NIP”s). This is a significant step forward in aligning the process of protocol development with the radically decentralized and relativistic ethos of the nostr development community.
Now I realize that the paragraphs above are useless, because the relay can just check the "p" tag of the event to determine who is the receiver, and just let that person delete it but not anyone else (not X, the event author, either).

its clear to me most people do not care about censorship resistance here, but its the only reason im here, and its the most important thing to me. Any attacks against that will be violently criticized. And yes, its more important to me than doxxing the people perpetrating these attacks, Even if it negatively affects my “reputation “ like i give a fuck.
Nostr has plenty of hammers. The missing piece is getting everyone to hit the same nail.

Coin control is a feature in some Bitcoin wallets that allows users to manually select which unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) to spend in a transaction, providing greater control over privacy and transaction fees. It helps users avoid consolidating funds from different sources, which could reveal their total balance on the blockchain.

However, the Ark protocol design has very little in common with Lightning’s design. Lightning is a payment channel network where participants create channels between pairs of users, forming a network through which payments are routed along paths between these channels. Ark, on the other hand, is a client-server protocol, with users coordinating their payments via a central server while retaining control over their own bitcoin.

If ACINQ (or even the whole Lightning Network) completely disappears overnight, your funds will still be safe, but you won't be able to make any payments.

Saturn (Latin: Sāturnus [saːˈtʊrnʊs]) was a god in ancient Roman religion, and a character in Roman mythology. He was described as a god of time, generation, dissolution, abundance, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal and liberation. Saturn's mythological reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace. After the Roman conquest of Greece, he was conflated with the Greek Titan Cronus. Saturn's consort was his sister Ops, with whom he fathered Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Juno, Ceres and Vesta.
