Are memecoins good or bad? 

I think they sit somewhere in the triangle between buying pokemon cards and going to the casino and day trading. 

I don't personally don't do much of those things, but I understand the appeal and don't think we need to shame people who do it.

I think meme coins are good. They are a new form social coordination that can be used for good or bad, but having new mediums is good.

As far as institutions go, I used to think the USA to be the greatest source of net good in the world. Now I think it’s the EU

For the uninitiated: Western & Central Europe used to be ravaged by major wars every few decades. We’re close to 80 years of peace now and the EU is our best bet of continuing that

Yeah I think the world would be a much worse place if the US didn’t exist

This is a common pattern in authoritarian takeovers: lots of bluster and posturing masking sheer incompetence

Rust

If you're unsure about a type, just write `bool` and let the compiler tell you what it really is

Totally unscientifically, it feels more expensive than other tools I've used, but it can get non-trivial tasks done end-to-end which is a major W.

Claude Code quickly became my favorite LLM tool

Results and options can be difficult to compose. Fortunately the `transpose` method makes this a breeze.

E.g. if you're mapping over an option and need to return a result, you can just call transpose on the `Option<Result>` returned by `map` and propagate the error from the outer scope with `?`.

In general, it's helpful to think about an `Option` as container with 0 or 1 elements and a `Result` as a container with exactly 1 element where the contained type is a sum type.
