Vancouver has dozens of recently updated vendors on BTCMap. Seattle has a handful, most of which have not been checked in years. The US needs to catch up on retail BTC adoption pronto.
Happy π Day!!! 🥧

I bought a used 3D printer. No auto-leveling. The motherboard is 8-bit and the servos make awful noises. Still, I'm excited.
Discovered another cool low-overhead systems programming language in development. https://vale.dev/
The design process for Raku/Perl 6 took 15 years. Nobody uses it. JavaScript was designed in 10 days. It's used by about a million developers. Effort is not always proportional to reward.
GitHub projects with a Code of Conduct longer than the actual code are a blight.
Apple sucks, guys. It's not a question of whether it will screw you over, but when.
I should have actually committed to learning Rust a while ago. The momentum behind it is too strong to ignore now: the language has mostly matured, big companies are using it, and the technical advantages are apparent.
Rust is not the final evolution of programming languages. But it did do something great: "introduced using the type system to enforce rules on resource usage into the mainstream." I was just thinking about how linear types might help with this the other day, so I am pleasantly surprised to see a new project like Austral making it a reality.

Oh the joy of reconfiguring and recompiling my kernel just so I can compile new versions of Qt…
People go through life seeking control, yet past a certain threshold, the more power and control you yield, the more insecure you become. Few things we can every truly control. Sometimes we must simply face the world with equanimity.
