Happy debugging:

// a.js
export const then = () => {}

// b.js
await import('./a.js')
console.log('hello')

eDSL could be a good emotional substitution.

How basic income benefited Irish artists Ireland introduced a basic income scheme for artists. It had huge benefits for their art, their mental health, and the economy.

Results from the Basic Income for Artists scheme in Ireland were published in September, and they showed the scheme was a huge success across every metric.

I spoke directly with some of the recipients to get their thoughts on the scheme and how it could be improved moving forward.

I don't care much about people who are with me only when I succeed, but I do care about people who are with me when I fail.

I look at the modern music players, and I'm curious, can we get Winamp back?

I asked ChatGPT to reduce noise in answers. Now it adds "No noise" to every answer.

Without UBI and progressive taxes, most systems are doomed to collapse due to a positive feedback loop of growing inequality in wealth redistribution.

When I watch Totoro, I feel calm and at peace. When I see AI-generated "art", I feel dizzy and want to puke.

Another supply chain attack Shai-Hulud 2.0. Another confirmation that we urgently need investments in:
1. decentralized networks with trusted connections and
2. purely functional content-addressable programming languages.

Math is beautiful. I think people don't really hate math but rather how it was introduced to them at school.

The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI) How the Marshall Islands built the first nationwide universal basic income, funded by a US-capitalized Compact Trust Fund, and what it means for UBI everywhere.

First country in the world to implement UBI: Marshall Islands! This is a fascinating article how it happened and how it's being paid for:

@functionalscript.bsky.social uses the latest TS Go preview already in CI. So far so good. Thank you!

People should have the freedom to choose where they want to live. I'm even ready to donate a few dollars to buy Elon Musk a one-way ticket to Mars.

Everywhere I could afford to travel. Mostly to see nature, beaches, and mountains. Also, it would be good if people could move freely between countries and choose where they want to live.

All digital communications (emails, DMs, etc) should be based on chains of connections. If there is no connection, then it's junk information. If you have a connection to a spammer, break the chain.

Is it the moment we start to switch to decentralized ID with relative names, or should we continue to rely on centralized DNS as a global identity until the next outage? #Cloudflare

Does it mean that people who have an income slightly less than 200% ($61,999) of the poverty level will receive more money (+$9,000) than people who have an income of 200% ($62,000)? These kinds of conditions create distrust when people feel they are punished for working.

What's a risk you'd be more comfortable taking if Universal Basic Income (UBI) provided a floor of income you could never fall below?

1. Work more on OSS projects for decentralized trusted networks and decentralized personal AI.
2. Learn more about quantum physics.
3. A lot of other stuff for education and fun.
4. More hiking and travel.

Yes, high-level PLs should be similar to Unison (compile-time type checks) or FunctionalScript (run-time type checks). For a low-level/system PL, we can take object lifetime tracking from Rust and comptime from Zig, and add content-addressable types (types are equal if they have the same shape).

Yes, Unison is one example. I'm working on another one, a content addressable subset of JavaScript. Also, I have some ideas how a content-addressable system programming language should look like.
