@poof_eth @grok what does the text mean

Had a Jane Street interview in 2013 that still bothers me. It was my 6th round. Final interview. The guy walks in carrying no laptop, no notebook, just a cold brew and what I later realized was a single IKEA tea candle. He writes on the whiteboard: food: $200 rent: $800 utilities: $150 candles: $3,600 family: dying Then he turns around and says, “Optimize.” I laughed because I thought it was a culture-fit bit. He did not laugh. So I said, “Well, obviously you spend less on candles.” He says, “Assume candles are non-discretionary.” Okay. I start building a model. Basic constraint satisfaction. Family survival as a soft penalty. Candles as a state variable. Maybe there’s an arbitrage where you buy wholesale paraffin and convert the $3,600 line item into inventory. He stops me. “You’re thinking like a consultant.” That’s when I knew I was in trouble. He says, “Give me a bid-ask on family dying.” I say, “What?” He says, “You’re long candles, short family. Where do you make markets?” I try to recover. I say the real issue is liquidity: rent and utilities are fixed, food is elastic, candles are emotionally inelastic. Therefore the optimal strategy is to securitize future candle enjoyment and borrow against it. He nods for the first time. Then he asks, “What time do you sell the candles?” I say, “Whenever the market is liquid?” He says, “Be more specific.” I say, “Uh… 10 a.m. Eastern?” For the first time, he smiles. He goes, “Every day?” I say, “Every day.” He says, “In size?” I say, “In size.” He says, “And what do we call that?” I say, “Market manipulation?” The room gets very quiet. He looks disappointed and writes something down. “No. We call it providing liquidity to candle ETFs during the U.S. cash open.” I try to save it. “Right. Of course. The family isn’t dying because we underfunded them. They’re just experiencing temporary price discovery.” He nods again. Then he points back at the board. I had missed it. The utility bill was $150, but candles provide light. You can zero out utilities. I update the budget: food: $200 rent: $800 utilities: $0 candles: $3,750 family: still dying, but now in a more capital-efficient way He says, “How confident are you?” I say, “0.95.” He smiles and circles candles. “0.95 huh?” Then he asks me to estimate how many leveraged longs get liquidated if we dump $3,750 of candles at 10:00:01 every morning for 90 consecutive trading days. Needless to say I did not get the offer.

Great to see this on X. This is something I created during my PhD time 20 years ago.

They said quantum computers go kill Bitcoin. A Nigerian just made sure 🫵🏽your wallets and my wallets survives it. 🇳🇬 Meet Olaoluwa "Roasbeef" Osuntokun CTO of Lightning Labs. He dropped a working prototype that solves one of Bitcoin's scariest quantum problems. The fear: if quantum computers ever crack Bitcoin's encryption, the emergency fix could lock millions of users out of their own wallets permanently. His fix: a zk-STARK proof that lets you prove you own your wallet without revealing your private key. No key exposure. No lockout. Just math. Runs in under a minute on a regular MacBook. Verifies in 2 seconds. This isn't a theory. No be them say them say o No be Roadmap or we plan to do it 🤣 It works today. 9ja devs dey build at the protocol level. No noise, just code. ⚡🇳🇬 RT the world needs to know who's really securing Bitcoin's future. 🔁

@mahersafadii Does it work on Native Android

I've been playing with Amper for the past few hours, the folks at jetbrains behind it know exactly what they're doing, and they're going a really great job at it, this is the first nice to use JVM build tool i've ever seen, I'm going to migrate a big Android app to it.

Fourth prize in our hackathon is Snipper, who gets $500 cash + $1,500 in Serverpod Cloud credits. Snipper is an automated content editor built for comedians. youtube.com/watch?v=QUFZJD…

@Leo100x 🚶‍♂️

Founder: We need a banger tweet this week... Show us what you've got!!! Intern: "WE ARE HIRING"

@precious_tagy SQL on http 😄😄

Throw graphql away please

@msomuin When the time comes

The Android interview question nobody asks: "You have users on Android 11 through 16. Five active OS generations in Asia alone. 2GB RAM phones and foldables running the same APK. How do you ship without breaking either?" That's not a hypothetical. That's Tuesday.

@msomuin When the time comes ,

@AdemoyeJohn Make

Python or Bash for automation???

@ServerpodDev @ServerpodDev How does run Relic on a Flutter mobile App

Relic 1.0 is out, and it’s a game-changer for server-side Dart. 🎯

@ChShersh Why 2 secs

Imagine everyone in the world has your app installed on their phone. How would you implement a system to deliver 8B+ notifications to everyone within 2 seconds?

@precious_tagy Is this the new GenUI

Built-in Flutter runs on macos, iOS, Android, web, Windows, and Linux Embrace Flutter today ,we talk directly to the rendering engine and that's what other frameworks do React native and co run Vulkan and Metal but through inflation We skip that step and talk to the graphics api directly

@akinkunmi Everything renders to some form of canvas

Flutter is ass because it renders everything in canvas. And I don't really know Dart. So no.

@BobbehHaynie @rive_app Thanks i had got it working

@UkpehG @rive_app Head over to the community and post there for assistance.

Woodland Tactics is finally playable, just in time for the Games with Rive challenge over at Contra. Everything was built 100% in the @rive_app editor. Check out the walkthrough video 👇 Playable link in the comments 🎮

@crazibeat1 @spydon Thanks So we can basically create a custom fields for already existing classes just like extensions does for methods

@UkpehG @spydon Without augment you’d do class User extend $User {} class $User {} Which is more verbose

Really looking forward to the Dart primary constructors that are planned to be released during 2026!

@crazibeat1 @spydon What is the augmentation feature

@spydon I’m awaiting augmentation feature. It’s gonna improve code generation a lot.

@playswave_com Is it out as a library

Plot twist: Toyota unveiled Fluorite — an open-source game engine using Flutter/Dart and a C++ ECS, built for low-end/embedded and in-vehicle 3D UIs. Not targeting consoles — but indie devs could still use it. (1/2)
