But that’s not really the point though, is it?

As the earlier poster from Argentina said, pesos are used for the “last mile”. Whoever you’re trading sats for pesos with are likely to be familiar with Lightning and willing to do the trade with it because it’s fast and cheap.

As for the issue of broader adoption, that’s just a matter of education, trust, time, and the right incentives to make the switch in a hyperinflationary environment…

Any company would be right to have a "low" opinion of their average user. Have you seen how the average person uses their computer?

Yes, but I've never seen anyone buy a wireless mouse and... forget it works wirelessly.

Curious to see more studies like this on other hallucinogenic drugs like psilocybin (psilocybe cubensis i.e. magic mushrooms).

I got a few lines down and couldn't keep going. It's such an irritating way of making an argument.

I've read all, and got both interesting points - useful to me angles of view - and certain statements and conclusions from then which I don't agree with.

1) Author says object and data structure are different things basing on stated difference, but doesn't explain why this couldn't be a different point of view on the same thing.

2) When author says "adding a class is easy when you need a new entity, while adding a function is easy when you deal with data structures" he doesn't mention that only "packaging" of code - into switch cases or separate methods - is different. To add Triangle, one still has to add both fields which contain Triangle data and all the methods which work with that data - area, perimeter, center. Similarly, adding data structure "Triangle" also needs all those additions - and only them - but in a different form.

And many derivations from this perceived difference are, um, questionable.

Yet I like author's explanation of impedance mismatch. True, data storage has to satisfy many needs (roughly, we don't want to copy data - normalization), while logic may focus on specific goal at hand.

I hope I live to see all this.

The Apple doth protest too much, methinks

I believe they are attempting to criticise the author's writing style by invoking the stereotype of the neck-beard adorned ültra-geek who tips their fedora to a fair maiden and says, "Milady."

Thanks, that sounds right!

I would love to see a version of this with the "noise" of the stars cleaned up and the brightness/saturation of the clouds increased.
