Fun OSS encounter story: 15 years ago, the WebSocket spec just came out and preliminary implementations were live. I wanted to prototype a little in-browser MMO, but the one implementation out there was node.websocket.js by an Argentinian fella named Guillermo Rauch.

Guillermo's library was only half-working for what I needed, so I ended up forking it and rewriting it entirely (https://github.com/shazow/node.websocket.js). I suggested some of the changes upstream, we discussed over email. I built my demo using my fork, while Guillermo also did a rewrite that became socket.io which was fantastic! So good that I didn't feel the need to keep working on my fork.

It's funny to think that there's an alternate universe where I went on to build the urllib3 of nodejs websockets.

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized: That Guillermo is the same @rauchg who went on to create /nextjs and founded @vercel. I didn't stand a chance! 🙇

Open source doesn’t happen in a vacuum and it’s the result of sharing and learning from the work of others. Great memories of the beginning of socket.io and @shazow.eth’s part in the story.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

You don’t need a small one for hands and a big one for toes, you can just use the same one for both.

I’m a machine learning engineer keen on learning and understanding ZKPs all the way up to implementation and testing of such systems. Any recommendations on a guided learning resource? I prefer learning Coursera style with videos, code spaces and quizzes. Thanks!

The way is long if one follows precepts, but short and helpful, if one follows patterns.

there's some confusion around farcaster names, so let me clear this up: 

- your username on farcaster is ALWAYS an ENS name
- one kind of ens name is the farcaster name (v.farcaster.eth shown in client as @v)  
- the other kind of ens name is the L1 name (dwr.eth shown in client as @dwr.eth)

Farcaster and ENS’s success are both derived from the powerful onchain context and networks effects that are thanks to Ethereum.

Since early days, Farcaster has leveraged ENS names and made it compatible with Farcaster names. 

Both teams are aligned with Ethereum and we are only going to ship more together @ensdomains x @farcaster — stay tuned! 👀

Food

Went down a rabbit hole over Christmas to find the best dry pasta 1) from Italy 2) easy enough to get without too much advanced planning (ie Amazon) and have been happy with Monograno Felicetti.

Blind taste test confirmed!

Deep Research is a winner if it finds Monograno when posed with the same constraints.

I wanna hire a designer / design engineer ideally someone with some crypto experience. 

If you help me find that person I'll give you $3000 tag ur talented friends plz.

I think sometimes people forget that @base is only 1.5 years and hasn't even been through a full cycle yet

if sometimes it feels like certain things don't exist on @base — it's because others have had >2x the time to cook

Web views in 1.8 work just like any other Obsidian tab, meaning you can split vertically, split horizontally, stack tabs, pop out new windows, etc

this opens up new workflows for web research, or editing websites generated from your .md files
