  • C is the lingua franca of computing, having a basic understanding of it is in my opinion an essential skill. So I would disregard the recommendations of learning Zig or Rust for now. These languages have their place but they aren’t as entrenched and universal as C. To learn C you could try a few of the exercises on the exercism C learning track. Another good project, to learn a new programming languages in general, is building a calculator that parses an expression like 2 + 3 / (5 - 1) and outputs the result while respecting the correct order of operations.














  • See Wikipedia:

    The Nostr protocol was first written in 2020 by a Brazilian open source developer known by the pseudonym “fiatjaf” as a response to perceived moderation issues on Twitter, as well as both technical and cultural disagreements with other protocols such as ActivityPub and Secure Scuttlebutt.

    Looks like it was never about function or protocol in the first place.

    In 2024, in an article reporting on the project’s funding, Business Insider claimed to have identified fiatjaf, and had found two websites previously published by this person to disseminate the work of Olavo de Carvalho, a far-right conspiracy theorist.

    Sounds lovely and taking one look at a random relay confirms this. The only things discussed there are Bitcoin, “Women-are-evil-because-they-dont-sex-me” and some AI bullshit.
