In practice it doesn't actually work that way. Lite clients use a semi-trusted validator, and the semi-trusted validator won't be tricked.

I say practice rather than theory because it's not just theory: There are many different forks of Bitcoin, including one created by Wright (BSV, "bitcoin satoshi vision" lol) which exist and are used and have lite clients.

For many users, the brief exposure to the wrong chain if their validator starts giving them the wrong one isn't an actual problem-- they will notice and switch eventually and only get robbed if someone pays them on the malicious chain before they notice. Though this is the reason why the Bitcoin whitepaper recommends that users that accept frequent payments should prefer to run their own node.
Uh, why do they matter in the context of a potential side project to let people migrate their Mails from the discontinued free legacy project to a free private account?
I think the "problem" is that with decent play, the space of valid words simply isn't big enough for a game to drag out very long. The space of English words is in the tens of thousands, which is only 15-ish bits, and every guess is quite a few bit's worth of info (varies depending on what you put in, but with good guessing it's quite a few). As the author says, about the worst case you can get into is having all but one letter correct, for some letter that can be many different letters. But a decent player just isn't going to get the sort of quality adversarial gameplay you can get from Hatetris or something. The Wordle challenge is in getting it in 5, and even that isn't that hard for a casual word game enthusiast.
Ask HN: HN Search has Google Analytics enabled, can it be removed?
HN Search (Algolia) has Google Analytics enabled it seems, which feels kind of deceptive considering the stripped down minimalism of the rest of site (that almost lulls you into thinking you can browse the site with js enabled).

Is it possible to have the algolia search that doesn't come with ga?
Do keep in mind that these are very large trees and the leaves(needles) are very prickly to deal with. It takes a long time for them to mature and I have heard people in Seattle say that they never produce cones here.

There are several in our neighborhood, including our neighbor, but the homeowners obviously have no idea how large those trees will get based on where they are planted.
> high quality masters could be made which sound good even today

Those mixes and masters were optimized in a world where everyone listened to vinyl, radio, home hifi, and crappy car stereos. This biases the whole production in certain ways, which together with fashions of those time colour the sound and dates it. Remasters (I think) remove some these biases. The new targets are headphones and streaming.

New recordings can and should sound very differently unless they are pastiches.

Some people like the old sound because it's already etched in their brains, and they want to hear it again. They've associated it with "genuine" and "honest" and whatever.

> Post Wall is an Elgg template developed by subterraneanwebZ web dev lab. This template includes all plugins with some customizations and improvements to quickly start your own social network (All-in-One Box). You can buy this template on eStore - Digital marketplace.

Looks pretty interesting, so this is a product to sell to other web developers? Or is the target a regular technical person who wants to set up a twitter clone? I hadn't heard of Elgg before, did you find it easy to work with? Overall how has your experience been, have you had any buyers yet?

Also have you thought much about content moderation on the platform? Are you expecting that to be a big concern from potential buyers?
The problem comes when you have a related set of changes where you both want to see how everything eventually fits together and where you still want to keep small "clean logical units." You can see this kind of thing play out frequently in, for example, Linux changesets, where you might have a 24-patch series of changes that need to go in for a feature.

I'm a hacker, always have been. Took a detour to be a PhD scientist, and another one to be a "software engineer", but I'm a hacker. And this hacker can tell you: most (95%) of software "engineering" is not engineering, but more or less the equivalent of telling anecdotes about your grandparents experiences while arguing you have a solution to covid.

That said, there's 5% of software engineering out there that is engineering; read the RISKS mailing list archives if you want to see some examples (and counterexamples).

If software engineers were engineers, testing would be a higher priority, and visible regressions would happen rarely, if at all.
This appears to be a misstatement, and the correct version is "prior infection offered better protection against a second infection than vaccination against a first infection" which is a rather different and IMO the two are not quite comparable.

Read your blog, hopefully you aren't telling yourself that right before you fire yourself! In seriousness thanks for the insightful reply. I agree w/tech choices, I'm always thinking about reusability as I piece together my own projects.
What I find interesting is that, even here on HN, someone still confuses an anecdote with a representative study.

It may surprise you to learn how many people in my life have not gotten a "shot", how many have, and how many have gotten vastly more than their fair of a "shot" in life. Those are the circumstances, and when you find yourself in similar circumstances, with a similar set of life experiences as someone else, you tend to make similar choices as they would. Humans, generally, act similarly, all else being equal.

> If you have to regularly make major changes to history before review, I could be a sign that your process/approach is disorganised.

Of course my process is disorganized! I'm an extremely disorganized person. I like to try out wild tangents in my coding, experimenting with some crazy idea or another and saving my place before and after I do so. I even have a separate .txt file of stream-of-consciousness writing about my coding, to keep track of the tremendous amount of complexity I have to deal with on a regular basis.

My reflog reads like a personal diary of failings, dead-ends, "FINALLY COMPILES!" commits, etc etc. I use `git branch someNewBranch` really often, keeping a namespace of local branches under the name `deadend/*` to mark tombstones of approaches I tried in code but didn't work out, and I `reset --hard` back to a previous commit after I save the branch. I like it this way, it maps better to my totally disorganized brain.

But I'm also a firm believer that none of my colleagues should be able to tell how disorganized all of this is, because by the time I make a PR, I squash it all down and write a very long, detailed commit message of what exactly I did, why I'm doing it, and how it works (sometimes, albeit rarely, spread across multiple logical commits in one PR.) They never get to see my private commit history.

Why does it matter to anyone how much I have to prune my commit history before a PR? That's like complaining to another student in class that their short-form handwriting is hard to read, in their own personal notes they're taking during class, when said student is acing all the tests. It's simply not the metric you should be judging people on.
iCloud KeyChain has automatic sharing of services, but only for Apple Services (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT203046)

That might be because they want to make their own services more attractive (if so, I think they made the wrong choice), but also could be a legal thing.

https://www.apple.com/family-sharing/: “You can add anyone to your Family Sharing group age 13 and older and invite them to share an Apple Card”, so members of An Apple iCloud ‘family’ neither have to be family members nor live at the same address.

That’s broader than, for example, the TOS of Netflix (https://help.netflix.com/legal/termsofuse: “The Netflix service and any content accessed through the service are for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household”)

Apple might fear getting sued if they make it easy to share a Netflix password with members of a family plan.
Anyone can be an engineer. If you don't have a PE or an ABET accredited engineering degree then you may still be an engineer, although most likely you're something closer to a technologist (although your skills may be both more valuable and more in demand than an engineer's).

I have met maybe two people in my life that have learned the kind of first principles physics and mathematics basis outside of formal channels of academia or licensure. It's just really inconvenient and probably an inefficient use of time for most people to learn to be a classical engineer when you can make more or better by getting damn good at applying some technology (programming, welding, trucking, whatever).
Yeah, going on tour and having concert shows are the chief breadwinner for modern musicians, would make no sense for them to stop playing.

Any data at all?
I base my opinion on the policies that come out of governments, not communications.
That's the point of squashing commits - Many of your changes will ultimately pare down into just a few logical thoughts, adding function X to feature A, then using that in function Y in feature B etc... It's not something that comes for free, of course, but if you make many small commits and try to get each file to compile each time you can often basically just squash by file or directory.

I've seen a lot of these kinds of tools come and go, and this one looks as good if not better than most of the others. However, they're all missing out on a huge market: people in delegate or what's normally known as "Executive Assistant" roles, who are managing someone else's calendar and need a way to control what calendar items, invitations, responses, etc. their executives are seeing.

I have yet to see any tool that serves that market at all. If there was a tool that could help people in those kinds of roles, particularly if there was functionality to 'automatically' setup meetings a la Doodle (which is garbage), it would sell like hotcakes.
I've thought about this a lot, and to answer 100% honestly, I'm not sure I always will, but for now:

1. These are not HFT models. They trade once every 2-4 weeks on average. They scale to billions in capital, so selling them does not inhibit my own returns.
2. There's a lot of demand. Part of the reason I decided to launch is I had some friends IRL begging me to let them use my models as well. Seeking Alpha has over 15M MAU and hundreds of thousands of premium subscribers, and in my opinion this service provides more direct value and wastes less of your time with noise.
3. All the money I make from this goes back into my own bot and compounds. Sure the $1400/month doesn't add up to much right now, but 1000+ premium subscribers one day would make a huge difference to me financially.
4. I believe we are at a precipice with passive investing, and the next bear market which could be right around the corner will dishearten a lot of folks. The more money investing smartly in the market at a reasonable fee makes the markets and overall economy less fragile. More automated smart investing saves society the drag of lots of suits on wall street mostly playing a big marketing game without producing much alpha or liquidity or any other measurable benefit in contrast.

Also, on a lighter note, running a business is just a lot of fun. I love seeing people use my product and get value from it.
And it can already read the 1Password .opvault (the "legacy" format, stored in Dropbox and on disk) "file" format -- I would guess it wouldn't be an unholy amount of work to teach it to write out that format, too, but I stopped short of doing that work because I figured KeePassXC wouldn't merge it

After that, I would teach KeePassXC to serve the 1Password browser extension websocket protocol, because I found its UX far, far, far, far superior to KeePassXC's browser extension UX
If that were true surely Republican's would be proposing making IDs free themselves no? If the purpose is to protect the integrity of our elections and not to disenfranchise voters, surely that would be step 1 right?

I would reject a merge from a branch that does more than one thing at a time as you've described during code review. It's okay to have a branch that does a bunch of things at the same time, but come time to merge back to `main` this should be broken up in to several different PR's.

I would probably branch off my branch for each logical change I wanted merged and use `rebase -i` to wholesale drop commits that I didn't want on the branch anymore.

This is also an example of where stacked diffs are far superior to PR's but that's a separate issue.
People got a decade or more of free email hosting from Google and now need to pay for it. I know one small business that sells physical products and got 200 free accounts through this program. To this day they never delete old employees accounts as a result because it had zero cost to them to keep it around (not that they cared about security).

I kind of chuckled reading this thinking about how Google even bothered to spend resources closing this legacy service. I wondered what metric they used to determine it was worth spending effort to shut this down.
Rust contribution affect less than 1% of programmers. Most code written today do not require manual memory management or even explicit multithreading.

I think typescript with gradual and structural typing and similar like mypy or sorbet are making real difference.

Type systems provide multiple benefits, performance, self-documentation, better tooling and more explicit data model.

Great job! Any hints what technologies you are using?
But what you describe is rare like the OP points out. For two people to be so honest and open and direct with each other requires large amounts of maturity and mutual respect and selflessness. Which, to be honest, is rare enough in a single human these days, let alone two that manage to find themselves together. If you have that, I’m truly envious.
I wouldn't mind this so much if I didn't have quite a lot of money tied up in Android purchases. The fact that they don't offer a migration path for this ought to be criminal.
Comparing the arts is something I've never understood. Literature, music, cinema, etc. are all different things.\n
Music is different because it can exist without it being recorded, literature, cinema, etc. can't. Non-recorded cinema is live theatre, non-recorded literature is live storytelling. Recorded and live music should be considered as two different things

There are also more competition for what used to be the youth mindshare. Now it’s YouTube, vidya games, social media like TikTok that are all audiovisual experiences targeted at being interesting to the youths.

Well that's way too easy. I supposed I improperly assumed that the results would be cached longer than the TTL of the TXT record based on the expiration in the well-known text file. In that case they should have only seen a tiny window of time that emails remained in queues. I will have to read up on the RFC for MTA-STS a bit more.

In that case I would suggest they did not really shoot themselves in the feet. Rather they may have stubbed their toe.

The trick is hand carving the pegs exactly the right size to friction fit in the hole. Without a lathe that is tall ask.

But also I wonder if they didn't include some glue to hold that chair together originally. Screws in furniture are mostly just there to keep the thing together while the glue cures.
I think the best definition of engineering is that it's a process of optimization within a solution space bounded by constraints. If you pile up some mud and let it dry, you have made a dwelling but you are not an engineer. If you calculate the load requirements for a series of I-beams given a certain budget and build a skyscraper, you are an engineer.

As the author correctly notes, there aren't necessarily hard boundaries on what qualifies as engineering, but I think there clearly are axes on which something is "more engineer-y" vs "less engineer-y", and as the constraints of the solution space go from physical (tension, voltage, pressure) to non-physical (interpersonal relations, public perception, aesthetic judgment), the activity goes from more engineer-y to less engineer-y.

In software, we're always optimizing on cost / developer time, but that's closer to the non-physical side of the constraint physicality axis. As you optimize for things like memory usage, execution time, binary size, then you get closer to the physical end of the constraint-type axis, and are thus more engineer-y.
Maybe it’s the intangibility that lends to an attitude of less respect.

Designing something in the physical world like a road you can’t screw up or people might get hurt. You could say the same about software but only in a very few instances. There’s no necessary reverence for the laws of the natural world. Electricity and gravity will kill you.

This is an interesting thesis. How would HR/People/Recruitment teams work effectively in a world where there are many specialized and actively used job boards?

Today, HR teams usually post jobs on LinkedIn and perhaps one or two more platforms. A world of fragmented job boards would be difficult to navigate for non-specialists.
And because the route/topology would already be known the energy budget could be rather easy to calculate, e.g., enough to get it up and over the mountain.

More towards the latter portion of your writing. Science is a branch of philosophy after all. It has axioms such as:

I was once involved in Topic Maps, a failed ISO standard that was challenged Semantic Web at some point.

> If software engineers were engineers, testing would be a higher priority

Many classes of engineers don't have the chance to test their designs. They have to know it will work ahead of time. The closest analogy in CE/CS might be formal methods, which (as I suspect you would agree) are sorely under-utilized.

"...on LSD and mushrooms I've often thought about going mad and being in prison, and had a lot of empathy for those people"

The thing is that it's quite common for people in the middle of psychotic episodes to lack what psychologists call "insight" in to their condition. That is, they don't realize that they're mentally ill, and even if they are confronted with the possibility they deny it.

So, paradoxically, by your thinking that you may be going mad, you're actually sane in a critical way that a mentally ill person is not.

Also, some typical features of schozophrenia (which the "psychotomimetic" view of psychedelics were supposed to evince) turned out not to be present in classical psychedelics (like LSD) -- things such as hearing voices. This is why use of the term "psychotomimetic" for these substances was eventually abandoned.
