Firefox starting to sell data for marketing, Chrome deleting the most useful extension of the store, the browser ecosystem seems truly rotten and I can't blame them with the complexity of web standards

The tab completions make me write shit code, I don't know how to disable them. The context-building / prompting panel is good, I wonder why it couldn't have been a VS Code extension though. I think it might be a business concern than a consumer experience concern lol

Pro tips for all the aspiring software engineers like me: learn to measure and profile what you build. At some point, there is no right way to engineer a server, service or system. You can only solve the tradeoffs/dilemmas and choose the right tools if you have statistical insight into your needs. e.g knowing your read/write ratio to chose the right concurrent synchronization mechanism, changing your UI/UX to optimize experiences in consumer apps Observability and telemetry are *essential* to deliver great software; so get learning ;) !

If the code is open-source, can't I just deploy it myself ? Why do I need to be in the beta ? I'm super excited about Snapchain, I'm excited to reimplement in Go for my custom data pipeline :))

Nemes came back from the ashes? Last time I used it it was dead! I'm so happy right now...

I used it at work to build a combobox with Radix UI. I would love to switch to AriaKit entirely, I just don't have the time to style everything lol

Are you reading the TF2 codebase ? Have fun, the source engine is cool C++ code, very hard tho ! I'm currently at the lavomatic waiting for my clothes to dry while making some music on FL Studio, I've successfully sampled a Jazz record and a constructed a drum loop from from a funk record. I don't know how to mask the artifact from the stem splitting algorithm. I want to add some slight saturation and warmth to the sound but it's being overshadowed by those little remainer of sound that weren't cleaned properly :))

:) I think it's not a total coincidence that most of the authoritarian dystopia happen in the UK

Why would they want to change it? You're not supposed to use this wallet for anything other than Farcaster related stuff I think

I'm not sure they're being so conservative with their vision: notice how they created a new wallet for it ? If it was indeed to simply make your life easier they would have asked you to onboard your existing wallet. I think the wallet address is also different from the address holding my FID. Maybe they have bigger plans?

I was so stressed, I love that Farcaster manages to be both a consumer app and also allow this level of tinkering and control. Makes it so fun!

"Understand the universe", am I the only one that finds everything Musk touches waxes lyrical, sounds cheesy at best and definitely not epic or moving ? I don't get this vibe lol, I do believe in the ability of engineering to accomplish great design and feats. However the way Musk phrases his intent often sounds so ridiculous lol.

Hey the tool you sent actually works, it's still deployed and used it to migrate my pass phrase !

I succeeded at migrating my wallet. It's a ridiculous story. So back when I was much less experimented with Farcaster I was experimenting with the protocol and I accidentally committed my seed phrase on an open-source repo. The wallet created by Farcaster got added to a drainer list, and so I couldn't transfer the funds to complete the transaction using a migration tool created by the community. I literally spent an hour sending funds (tiny amount) from a wallet to the Farcaster one to try to execute the migration contact. The problem is that I created so many operations I lost track of which wallet I generated now held my account. I had to go to my clipboard history and I pasted every pass phrase I generated and tried them all. It worked, and I'm so happy lol. This shit is never leaving my backup again lol

You're going to laugh but I can't complete the signing transaction because I don't have funds on this address (it's drained automatically) I have to find a solution...

I see, I only found the documentation for it now: I must change it so an address controlled by Warpcast ... I wonder if I can do it myself though so I don't have to wait?
