To recap a bit, we started from the simple idea of making a new social medium, propaganda free, and now I am messing on 5 different sites :)) Well, the point is that since the engine can be "shared", it's just convenient to have different "incarnations" of a social medium. Why? Technically...

Thank you vanzandt. That beautiful encouragement is way too kind of you. > I did notice you left out pets in this list. Thank you. Please enumerate all your ideas and suggestions :-) I am also compiling a list for the NY site. So I will add possible suggestions and then I will submit here...

Essentially, gambling uses illiquid options. Really leading nowhere, in terms of consistent $$$. You will find yourself essentially locked in a trap. It's like putting your head in the jaws of a lion waiting for some crumbs of meat to fall from its teeth and expecting that the lion, by some...

If your approach makes sense usually in principle the transaction price is not crucial, as you can just change the exit price accordingly. The question is why on earth one has to make his life miserable dealing with monster spreads and transaction risk when there are more suitable instruments to...

It is indeed for those who do not really understand what they are doing (which statistically will always be the majority). It's possible to make consistent $$$ without any form of gambling or prediction. It just requires preparation and the right capital. Two things not easily found.

I am working on the error and messaging system. Later I will explain what I have done with some boring technical detail. It's the system that displays any kind of "messages" and "errors" to the users, either coming from the client or from the server. In the meantime, I am thinking that...

While I was sleeping it occurred to me that the previous class we saw previously to specify some search words for either thread or posts could indeed be made more general (thus avoiding its mere twofold nature). In fact, as the site expands (in the far future :) ) we may need keywords to be...

Guys, do not fall for the idiotic hype! AI ? Just another retarded hype word for something almost as old as I am. We have seen many of these idiotic words ("data mining", "business intelligence", "cloud", "big data", "data science", "quantum finance", ... bla bla bla). It's just "software"...

Today I worked on reorganizing my code and on the "source code" insert feature. Since at least one of the sites (the initial network pentacle :)) I am preparing will be "professionally" oriented :), I think it's useful to be able to paste source code within a post without messing it up. ET has...

While my cat is diligently surveying the trading activity... :-) I need to get some fresh calories for my brain to go forward with the site coding... What's better than pasta and a sip of cold homemade hibiscus kombucha? :-)

Today was also another full day. I refined the search features by adding the input interface for the search keywords, for both threads and posts. Now we have a field called "SearchKeyWords" in both the posts and threads table: This way, one can indicate the most important keywords of the...

It's not stupid at all. For any goal, some things work, others just don't. Some things are a pure waste of time. Intelligence means also being capable of early understanding and discriminating what cannot possibly work (this can be assisted by opinions of other people more experienced in the...

Possibly nothing is really "created": just a neverending transformation :-)

Today I made another significant step forward. I felt I needed a "site search", especially for the Rome version, where people also buy and sell stuff :) So I implemented a search as follows: 1 search within threads' titles 2 search within threads' keywords (I added a field for those) 3 search...

This morning, I am improving a bit the video/image embedding. In addition to the embedding code we have seen in the previous short demo with frame resize "on click", I have also added some self-embedding capabilities directly from the raw links. Here is a short video demo of a few seconds...

Today, I wanted to extend the editor functionality of resizing images on click to the videos too. It's not so immediate, as just detecting the click on the iframe element is not so straightforward as for images (there is no handler obviously). Anyway, I found a decent solution by adding a...

I have been perfecting the fast login and notification features so that now we can fast login and go straight to any post or to any user profile on a simple notification. This has required the introduction of a few more fields in the login table: These are relatively "tedious" to code (just...

The post editor is one of the most crucial parts in my personal view because I just hate having to type into those small windows as if our brain could not contain more than some short self-important "tweet" ( = "I am too busy and important to articulate a thought") or "truth" ( = "All my biased...

Today, Sunday, I was finally able to work a little more calmly, without too many distractions from the trading accounts (well, until midnight :) ). I fixed the logic of the users' notification system and this resulted in some changes at the database level. Here is an updated version of the...

Here is some anticipation of the look (this is one of the 4 media I am simultaneously taking care of, with a shared pure js engine obviously. Will all be different themes). This is a "user profile" page. Still working on it... Any pictures: I am consenting to store unlimited information...
