A lot of clothes dryers/tumblers have cheap threaded blower wheels that screw onto a motor shaft. Often, the wheel’s threads are stripped from constant thermal expansion.

When hot enough (it’s delayed), there’ll be a loud noise of metal spinning inside metal. The motor could be dying too (running hotter than normal) since it has the stronger threads.

One temporary fix involves wrapping copper wire around the motor’s threads for friction… at least while trying to think of a more “permanent solution” that does not involve buying/hoarding perfectly shaped blower wheels indefinitely.

After perusing the web dev blog feeds (finally).. it seems that there’s a “mainstream” coordination away from the client side;

• https://unpoly.com/
• https://htmx.org/
• https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/introduction

Time until a transition to ‘json over the wire’? These are very handy libraries btw — I tried htmx previously.

So, the other day I learned that the cool lingo is coins. I’ve rummaged through the depths for a bit and came across the most plain and straightforward breakdown of the cryptocurrency ecosystem ever written. Impossible! Most everything else is like deciphering a marketing slate.

The analysis on economies of scale within peer–to–peer networks and this answer on merkle trees vs blockchains are worth the read too.

So as you may know we have, knowledge.. or in the old black books of web witchcraft; the checkbox hack. I wonder though; did anyone ever go the final mile and create a kinda generalized “progressive polyfill” to fix the semantics of this so called hack?

Tangentially, a query for a details/summary polyfill brings up either rstacruz/details-polyfill or chemerisuk/better-details-polyfill with demo. Interesting.

It’s hard to “peek into” other knowledge domains successfully. The reason; marketing fuzz.

TL;DR: Blockchain data–structure is designed only for Bitcoin’s rules. Large deviations from Bitcoin go nowhere. Ethereum appears to be the only protocol with minor deviations from Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrencies are blockchain protocols — laws (protocols) on permanent appendable excel sheets (blockchains). Bitcoin is not the only protocol. Various cryptocurrencies have differing rules but…

Blockchain’s implicit permanency favours Bitcoin’s rules and use cases. Economically, that’d suggest noncompatible use–cases/cryptocurrencies/forks become irrelevant.

Or more specifically, the difference between a merkle tree and a blockchain. So, no plausible technical predictions on coinage–but perhaps the government’s broken clock is right twice a day? Bahamians need permission to “officially invest” in crypto–stock “currency”.

Tea is zen. Tea is life. Bidens alba.

A no build repository for SolidJS. Don’t ask. I found this splendid repository while strategically traversing the void. Demo.

Isn’t this a beautiful lithographic painting? (Don’t worry, I got permission from the relevant authorities to post this)

I used up all my free time points last month experimenting with a Guile Scheme webserver. Then I discovered ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-examples… Haunt is also an interesting static site generator.

Marketing has advanced…
