One of the biggest Thatcherite myths is that Capitalism and a society with markets are the same thing.

David Graeber pointed out this is not historically true.

CAPITALISM

How Money & Banking works and how it is broken for the vast majority of people.

Evolution of our monetary system covering all basics, simple enough to follow.

Fundamental to understand why ₿itcoin is a phenomenon at all

One of the many dat-ecosystem projects is the p2p keet messenger and the pear runtime devloped by the holepunch team who are well funded and maintain much of the hyper* stack. dat-ecosystem counts more than 2 dozen projects by now and is growing.

On the organisaiton side, dat was just an open source project and then later became a project under the CS&S (501c3 non-profit public good company). Then transition to OpenCollective Foundation for a while and now Apereo Foundation (501c3 non-profit publich good).

No. Dat has a lot of history.
It started 2013 as dat-data. It grew into dat-protocol and the basics of the hyper* stack. It became dat-projects later because many projects grew (including Beaker) and was then turned into dat-foundation. After more projects started it finally became dat-ecosystem

You don't need the page.

just `npm install -g pear`
and then `pear run pear://runtime` to learn.
you can also try out the p2p messenger keet via `pear run pear://keet` ...and developrand publish your own :-)

It's strange though that the page is blocked and i doubt they would do that. ask on keet

It's clear. the capitalist class is defined by their ability to print money and they use it to buy the lion share of the fruits of our labour and use it to keep us on the payroll to work for them. We can end the capitalist class by rejecting money they can print and use one they cant print, e.g. BTC

finally wrote a short post about how the "spatial feed" works in Aurora!

the spatial feed shows you posts, in real-time, from the neighborhood you're looking at. it's a brand new kind of discovery interface!

Often typescript definitions are outdated and more frequently typescript definitions are AI generated, even for vanilla JavaScript projects, but what's the point of typescript and definitions if AI can generate them.

Why not stick with vanillaJS in the first place now?

What is magic according to an LLM?

Can we all ₿e wizards?

And what is the essence of magic?

What if the essence of magic changed?

What does that even mean?

Funny ruminations of an LLM 🙂

blinksy.dev got 100 stars on GitHub. 🤩 🌟

Rust + LEDs = 💜

seems like the most important and legit reason ever.
Burnout is real and it is an omnipresent problem in open source. Some projects are lucky to get sponsored by governments or companies or even just people, but there is no systemic solution yet.

Maybe Bitcoin Lightning can help to build it.

we should have.
...but standard bodies do what standard bodies are best at. help big tech to be indispensible to build browsers and make them bigger and clunkier every year.

It could have been brainstormed how to develop CJS further ...but instead it was chosen by standard bodies, that THEY want control over the standard and so they ignored it all and went for ESM anyway.

Thats not a conspiracy, thats just keeping track of the facts

Also, CJS was already standard.
It was already massively in use.
It preceeded ESM by years.
It won against async alternatives in the web, such as `requirejs` and others by popular choice...

ESM still lacks tooling and features CJS has since forever.
Endless work for all devs to work/live with this

its not.
its fact.
CJS or rather `require` can be changed at runtime. import cannot.

Anything related to import requires standard body support and them to add those features.

in userland you can only use AST transforms which require a lot of code and are slow.

CJS empowers developers, not ESM

in workers you can anyway use sync XHR or Atomics.wait to suspend and grab code needed for a sync require call.

you can also `fetch` + `eval/Function/scriptTag` code at runtime.

Yes, `require` is synchronous, but nothing prevents you from adding code to implement an async `await npm.install()` or `await npm.load()` to prepare code in memory so sync require works.

btw. ESM has conditional exports as well

absolutely not
ESM modules share the global object and thus are less easy to isolate than CJS, which you can fully isolate

bundlers are trivial and without bundlers or implement `await npm.install(name)` before you require

workers could also use Atomics.wait or sync XML request to block on require

you can make CJS work in browsers because its a user land feature. bundlers have done it since ages.

or implement a module to enable `await npm.install(name)` in your app before loading modules via require.

there are so many ways.

ESM essentially forces you into their ways & downsides

thats the good thing about top level await.

if you need it, just add it in :-)
you can hack around with require and make it work, because userland.

import is a power grab by browser vendors so you cant do much apart from full AST transforms which are performance hits

I'm not talking nodejs only.
Actually i'm mostly doing web, but ESM is part of the ugly bad parts of the language and i would recommend avoiding it.

The amount of dev hours wasted on CJS/ESM shenangians caused and still causes lots of harm
