mats: and a study of the central bank’s effort to internationalise the rmb, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/polq.12999
asciilifeform: mats: i admit that i still find it a mystery, the 'national' shitcoins. wtf do they bother with faux-blockchain 'permissioned' thing, when in effect is 'slow, expensive paypal'
asciilifeform suspects that these chimeras (e.g. iceland's) result from shitcoin pushers 'working' on idjit bureaucrats
asciilifeform: !w poll

shinohai: The Petro thing has been epic fail in Venezuela, most inmates still prefer BTC proper.
shinohai: Naturally the shitcoiners try 'an pump their tiddlywinks there every so often (especially DASHfags) but it usually also is immediately converted to BTC.
shinohai: #cucked
dpb: magic the gathering apparently banned a bunch of already out of print cards that made reference to "black creatures"
shinohai: top kek
shinohai: So much newspeak.
billymg: shinohai: i suspect they won't stop until every thinking engineer either quits or goes insane
shinohai: Let's just change every subversive term in every programming language out there to avoid triggering the SJW's and Niggers.
billymg: iirc i vaguely remember the "argument" against the term master back in the early 2000s in relation to hard disk jumper settings
shinohai: Are we gonna have activists lobbying Nabisco and Townhouse next to remove the word "Cracker" from their packaging, and use "Salty crisp wafers" instead ?
billymg: would be funny to get a troll campaign going against programming langs being written in english (language of colonialists and opressors)
shinohai: ^ YISS
billymg: and watch them rewrite compilers and runtimes to support "localized" code
shinohai: smdh
trinque: emojilang when
billymg: trinque: it exists: https://www.emojicode.org/
billymg: from the site: "We believe that Emojis have expressive force. Let’s use that to make programming more fun and accessible."
shinohai: muh accessibility
verisimilitude: Computer languages which don't rely on English can be intrinsically interesting, with APL being the prime example, but despite this I'm not perturbed by English being the predominant language of computing.
verisimilitude: Relating to my work, I've switched to a model of programming where I force myself to achieve something every day, regardless of how insignificant I view it, and this is leagues better than my previous model of doing naught until inspiration and motivation strike me to work for several hours straight.
verisimilitude: I should have a reimplementation of my machine code development tool finished soon, at which point I can begin working on a new targeting and whatnot.
verisimilitude: How goes your work?
