@laimis@mstdn.socialI received this from #coinbase. No more yield on parked cash. Well well, no cash storage on coinbase then.

@kubikpixel@chaos.social»Trends That Defined JavaScript in 2025:
Despite AI and the push for simplification in web development, JavaScript frameworks aren’t quite ready to yield their hold on the frontend.«
Personally, I'm not a JavaScript fanboy, but you can't avoid it for web frontend. I prefer TypeScript in this regard because in my opinion it is more precise.

Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain
Full charactered with lasting memory,
Which shall above that idle rank remain,
Beyond all date, even to eternity:
Or, at the least, so long as brain and heart
Have faculty by nature to subsist;
Till each to razed oblivion yield his part
Of thee, thy record never can be missed.
That poor retention could not so much hold,
Nor need I tallies thy dear love to score;

@pre@boing.worldRob Gaskell of Sundial is presenting on a layer two protocol designed to enable bitcoin to generate yield.
Most bitcoin is still, in long term hodl. Not helping anyone.
Sure, you could lend your bitcoin for interest but that would count as a tax event and also involve losing custody.
What if a programmable sidechain to help with scaling, allow borrowing and lending and products retail and institutions like?
His solution is called Sundial and doesn't need new protocol changes or forks.
Hard to say what it actually does though? Presumably something like liquidity in sidechains? Didn't really seem to get what he actually is building. 🤷

@markhburton@mstdn.socialNot a brilliant analysis from the MS but 2 nuggets:
Extending the freeze on tax band and National Insurance thresholds is an attack on working-class people’s take-home pay. Yield £7.6bn p.a.
Left's proposed 2 per cent tax on assets in excess of £10 million is estimated to bring in £24bn p.a.

@brichapman@mastodon.socialResearchers just cracked a major clean energy challenge: producing hydrogen at scale without using precious land or freshwater.
The University of Exeter team simulated a floating solar system in Oman that desalinates seawater and generates 1,755 kg of hydrogen daily at $9.5/kg. It's a game-changer for hot-climate regions.

@a_j_millar@fediscience.org👀Great, hopeful review on one avenue to increase #crop yield 🌿🧪.
Context - we'll need 35-50% more food globally by 2050 but there are few signs that we're getting there. Yes, many issues in this space.
But photosynthesis is now one of the plant metabolic pathways where we have really good understanding, sufficient to see meaningful improvements of yield in the field, in #rice, #potato, #soybean. This is detailed in the review ➡️ #PlantSci #FoodSecurity
@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
I finished my breakfast this morning only to discover that it's National Maple Syrup Day. A missed opportunity but at least I can share some important facts about Canada's sweet and sticky sauce.
- Indigenous People taught early Canadians how to harvest maple sap and boil it down into a sugary liquid.
- A maple tree can yield sap for up to 100 years, but the trees must be roughly 45 years old before it’s first tapped for syrup making.
- It takes roughly 40 gallons (150 litres) of tree sap to produce 1 gallon (3.8 litres) of syrup.
- Quebec produces 72% of the world’s maple syrup. In 2021, that equaled 133M lbs from Quebec.
- The big bottle of Costco Maple Syrup is from Quebec.
- Maple Syrup only has 1 ingredient. Sap.
- Maple Syrup has an indefinite shelf life but should be frozen if storing for more than 2 years.
And regarding the great Maple Syrup heist, this is still the best report on that famous crime.
