What’s up today? (Part 1)

Some interesting concerns:

Long term, given the threat of crypto towards fiat, it seems that multiple avenues of attack are and will continue to be utilized to marginalize, constrain, and break crypto. Safe Network has many fixes to the vulnerabilities of existing crypto’s I think … hopefully we will be under it’s umbrella before these attacks get too far along.

Ahh the French (and Americans with their mm/dd/yy bullshit).

Everyone knows that the only proper format is 24h ISO standard: 2022-02-22:20:22.

(48h - 1h38min ago) was the correct time. :slight_smile:

Year-month-day seems so logical, and it alphabetizes correctly when you rank dates in a file, like a computer directory listing. But when you are talking to someone and you ask them their birthday, or any other date, they usually reply October tenth, 1990, not 1990 October 10. So should we encourage two different formats, one spoken and one written? Oh, the vagaries of it all. It keeps me awake at night.

For Aussies we do not put the leading zero for the month. So it was
22/2/22

I don’t think most people do, but when using dates in places where a listing of several might be alphabetized, it is helpful.

I use that format quite often, really, when naming folders or files, but hardly anywhere else.

Those files line up correctly now, with the most recent at the top of the list.

I know we are a small country, but we were/are taught in school to do it that way and it was used in legal documents that way till at least a decade ago here. Maybe it has changed with computerisation of the documents because of the programmers adding the leading zeros.

In say that a leading zero for year was used depending on the situation. so 2009 would be 1/1/09 or 1/1/2009

Nah , CBA,

EDIT: Sorry @happybeing - I was editing this and got called away - didnt mean to leave up such a terse response…

quote from the article

Not every script that you write needs a frontend graphical interface.

I will leave the prettiness to @JimCollinson who is far more talented and groks this kind of thing, my scripts are dead simple to do a dead simple job. Jim will take the complex and make it simple and intuitive.
Me, I just want them to choose to build or download the binaries, select a testnet and a max vault size,
TBH I think if anyone is going to change the default port then they already know enough that a script is more likely to be getting in the way than helping.

But I will look at his for other applications.

Cool, I’ve used Zenity a few times in the past, but never learned about whiptail. I can see a few use-cases for it. Thanx :wink:
