I’ve been wondering something similar. I recently published a rust rope library based on skip lists. (Ropes are “fat strings” optimized for efficient insertion and deletion of arbitrary characters.)

My rope is backed by a skip list, where each node in the skip list has a gap buffer. Even without the gap buffer my skip list is ~1.5x faster than the next fastest library on cargo (ropey - which is b-tree based). With gap buffers the resulting code is 4x faster. My library is also significantly smaller, both in lines of code and compiled size.

I’ve got another b-tree library I’ve been using for CRDT editing in Diamond Types. Based on this result I’m considering rewriting my btree as a skip list to see how it compares. It’d be a direct apples to apples comparison - I’ve already tuned my btree well as I can. I’m very curious how performance would change.

Parent comment is right about the value of a successful vault exploit. Given the number of people and companies using 1Password now, $100k would likely pale in comparison to an exploit's value on the black market.
Yeah, people think these types of things are blown up and manipulated as if the scientists actually make a buck out of it versus their usually very meagre salary and huge workload,

Someone I know who used to work for a non-specific policy related group of scientists investigating something pretty important (pollution, the kind that gives your kids fucked up lungs not something relatively abstract like global warming) and that he was explicitly told (in response to a warning their data looked bad for the government) "That's awful, we must do something about it, in the meantime please lower the figure"
Jesus Christ I’m exhausted just reading these stories.

That’s fucking ridiculous.

My aunty was T1D and that was back in the 30’s until 90’s when she died, I never realized what a hero she was. Never once heard her complain thus assumed it was easily dealt with. She used to just disappear after meals for a while. It was like some dark family secret.
I appreciate the observation.

While I understand the logic of using parent, as a general rule I'm uncomfortable deliberately substituting words with less information when a word with more information is available.

It'd be like seeing a flock of geese fly over and saying birds. If you weren't really sure they were geese, or thought maybe a few were not geese, then maybe you write 'birds'. However, if you saw geese and it would have been striking and obvious if one or more of the birds was not a goose, then more information is given saying geese rather than birds.

If there had been a female engineer at the site, working or at home, I'm pretty sure I'd have known. This was rural China in the late 90s. A live in nanny would have been available at very low cost. Plus, the hunger for engineers willing to live at a camp site in rural China for months at a time was such that had there been any engineer spouses, they'd have had to make a very deliberate decision NOT to work.
Insulins that themselves react to blood sugar levels are another interesting path. Not that they could ever do the entire job, but they could lend some first-order stability.
With respect, you don't know that they aren't attempting to take action on those other apps. Wordle may be a recent copyright issue since NYT has purchased the original. It seems like their rules do apply to these other apps but they just haven't gotten the attention that Wordle has so there's less bias towards those.

>About 2 feet (0.6 meters) of sea level rise along the U.S. coastline is increasingly likely between 2020 and 2100 because of emissions to date.

Carbon capture and sequestration is an absolute must investment. That's massive damage and human suffering on the way if we don't remove the emissions that have already happened.

Maybe wages would go up if there were less people chasing the "dream" of living in SF/NYC/LA on a Starbucks barista career. If everyone took my advice the people left would get higher wages. That's supply and demand.

> historically you had to go somewhere where those better jobs are

There are plenty of good paying (maybe not FAANG's 500k salary but 6 figures nonetheless) jobs in Chicago, Atlanta, North Carolina RTP, Columbus, etc. The biggest contributor to social mobility is getting a good degree at a good school. If you get any engineering degree from any decent state school - doesn't matter mechanical or computer or chemical or whatever - you're making good money.
You can still wallhack based on directional sound, and or minimap.
On one hand, yes software supply chain vulns are getting difficult to maintain conceptually total coverage of while also maintaining a pleasant environment for developers to productive in.

On the other hand, yes there eventually is a trust point somewhere. A spiral of upstream what-ifs isn't productive IMO, I agree.
That is fair! I feel like those should definitely be allowed. I am using a wordlist based on this: http://wordlist.aspell.net/12dicts-readme/ which is public domain and has about 6k 5-letter words, compared to the Wordles 12k. If anybody knows any other good royalty free wordlists I would definitely be interested. :)
That's a pretty obviously bad take. You're comparing a company whose single product is about keeping one kind of thing secure, and another company that makes dozens of products, most of which don't explicitly have to do with security.
Could someone build a large list of such cookies or local storage objects, that I can simply import into my browser and it will remember that I already clicked the consent button? It should be a standard feature of adblockers by now, it has gotten completely out of hand. A billion people losing 10 billion seconds of productivity per day, a handful of lifetimes wasted.
If you need CSS help or help with the responsive design, let me know! I'd be happy to help. Switched from Wordle after NYT to Quordle and definitely prefer the challenge of Quordle.
At first it's like being paid to eat cheesecake: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... You stop enjoying the cheesecake, and then you stop eating it.

Later, it's like having one's brain sandblasted: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... I don't remember most details but I pattern-match quickly.

It's probably not so different from doing any other rather-specific thing enough times.

I also wrote a browser extension with a lot of keyboard shortcuts that by now has close to 10 years of learning baked into it. It doesn't make any decisions but it lets me do repetitive things faster. One of these years I want to open source it (or make it a profile option to serve as JS) so people who like keyboard shortcuts can flip around the threads more easily. It just requires surgery to take out the mod-only bits, which is a bit like separating conjoined twins.
If the housing markets crash, won’t the investors just buy at a discount?
That's a bad analogy, although you point out a possibly good thing for L2/crypto - the bug bounties are massive because the projects have a silly amount of funds.

Password managers don't operate with those economic models though.
"frequently" yes...but with the Pacific theater histories - most of what I've seen and also what's being quoted in the arguments below re "Would Japan have surrendered without the A bomb" are from books by primarily American or British historians, or even the Pentagon's own internal study. This is one conflict where I am not seeing a ton of Japanese academia weighing in. Why, who knows - maybe it isn't a hot topic for current academic research, maybe because of language barriers, engrained biases, etc, (maybe are a lot more Japanese academic works in Japan itself, but not getting a lot of traction here, who knows...)

To whit, a lot of the quotes being thrown around to support the "Japan would have never surrendered without the A-bomb" seem(at least on my reading) to suggest there was a lot more debate amongst the civilian and military (Japan AND US Navy) higher ups that were assumed at the time, and who knows what would have happened had more diplomatic measures been tried?
I did this applying for an internship at Microsoft. First big company interview for me and I didn't realize they would be taking me to lunch. The interviews after lunch were miserable as I was dangerously high.
If you're dumb enough to just transfer from a sanctioned wallet to an unsanctioned one, then use that, you will likely be found guilty of contempt of court and sanctions evasion. Since the BTC Blockchain is public this is very obvious to anyone with an internet connection.

You could use a laundry to try and "sneak" out. But that is difficult unless you pay a lot (50%?).
They aren't out of touch, they understand the culture. People here want Hacker News to feel like the last thirty years of the web didn't happen. They don't want Hacker News to be modern, least of all to be like other forums. They want the Bohemian indulgence of 90's era web ugliness with complete disregard for standards, and the ascetic purity of painfully minimalist UX that appeals to their contrarian, anti-modern sensibilities.
I'm re-reading PP[1] right now and their Tip #67 feels relevant here:

has there been any reports on how global sea level rise will effect (if any) the Great Lakes, like Lake Michigan?
There will also be unfortunate death spiral effects. Elevating sewer lines, rebuilding roads and drilling new wells as the old ones are infiltrated by seawater will cost money, leading to increased taxes. High taxes will force out marginal residents. As the tax base shrinks, per capita taxation will go up, pushing out more people...

Your house could be a mile inland and fifty feet above sealevel, but you could still have to abandon your home as a direct result of sealevel rise.

The minute any coastal community stops grows, they're screwed. Manhanttan and DC will (probably) be fine, but if you're living in Nowheresville, South Carolina, then you had better sell your house now, while you still can.
I once got an account hacked because I reused a password. Since then I only generate passwords and use a SaaS password manager. I got informed about leaked passwords multiple times by the service which saved me time and maybe even money.

Managing them in the cloud is the easiest way to keep the passwords with me. I trust those services because I am lazy, my own solution would just be obscure and self-managed solutions would probably give me headaches in multi-device or multi-user scenarios (I share many passwords with my wife).

With a payed subscription SaaS solution I can expect that the provider has a huge interest in keeping my data safe from criminals. It's their biggest selling point.
I don’t think I’ve ever dreamt in code, but I had a Tetris phase and I absolutely dreamt (and day dreamed) in Tetris.

This is only one half of the story, the deductive investigation. The other half is the psychological thriller: we can observe the murderers, who just committed an (almost) perfect crime, and who are strong and confident in the beginning, to slowly crack under the pressure put on them by Columbo, to make mistakes that finally lead to their arrest. This is not just great drama to watch, but also instrumental in Columbo's success, and you can't replicate that when you work on software (or anything other than humans). The points you listed are still useful, of course.
Not sure if this helps or hurts, but the places they're most likely to see a problem are in the clients and automatic browser plugin updates. An attacker doesn't even need to target a password manager directly; they can collect passwords pretty well with any compromised plugin, just not all of the passwords at once.
Not sure how since these specific transactions are still not cleared up, are already covered by existing laws quite thoroughly, and they’re by far the easiest types of things to tax in the ‘wealth but not income’ space, as real estate is pretty hard to hide and he was literally putting his name on it in giant letters.

If the wealth tax goes after real estate, folks just won’t put their name on it directly and voila, good luck.

This is also despite those alleged shenanigans being hamhanded and pretty obviously done and by probably the most well know and controversial ‘wealthy person’ in current society, enforcement still not only didn’t work, it still hasn’t actually been enforced. And is surrounded by massive controversy and legal BS and will probably drag on for another decade.

It’s like pointing to OJ Simpson’s murder trial as an example of swift and non-controversial justice that supports your legal policy?
What sources do you have that indicate master pws in the pw manager context are getting leaked or reused?
Oh right, you want to have one of those useless internet arguments instead of focusing on the spirit of the discussion. Ok then. Well Investopedia says:

> A reserve currency is a large quantity of currency maintained by central banks and other major financial institutions to prepare for investments, transactions, and international debt obligations, or to influence their domestic exchange rate. A large percentage of commodities, such as gold and oil, are priced in the reserve currency, causing other countries to hold this currency to pay for these goods.

So I don't know, maybe I was focusing on how commodities are priced in the USD. Have a great day!
You might like the game Twelve Minutes, your comment reminds me of it:

That's... not actually true at all. In fact, in large parts of the country it's /required by code/ to separate 240V and 120V circuits, such as in most of South Central Texas (pop ~5M or so). There are absolutely 120V panels, and they are commonplace.

I will agree, however, that in much of the Midwest and Northeast it's more common to see single-panel installations. Separating the panels is important for safety, though, and it also allows better circuit routing when running the electrical.
How can we reasonably expect the availability of homes for low income individuals to increase if corporate ownership is banned? Under this hypothetical ban, very few houses would become available, and hardly reduce prices. Housing construction would also slow further, thus negating any short term reduction in prices.

Additionally this does not make any positive impact on the construction of new housing.
I do not see most of these in my system. This is very weird.
Thanks for mentioning. I haven't tried that, yet.

Yes, that was my reason to settle on pass as well. Plus it has a healthy community discussing in the mailing list and also many eyes looking at the source.
Are you sure Dordle came out first? It's only a few weeks old, according to your link.
Is it safe to click?
In locked room mysteries the evidence seems to be saying that there are zero ways the crime could have happened. This makes them nice to solve because as soon as you work out one way it could have happened it's usually clear that it's the only way. Whereas with other murder mysteries you have multiple suspects and even if you have a guess there's no way to rule out everyone else.
It's interesting to me the distinction between "community" and "society". Seems like we use the term community to imply groups that form relationships somewhat involuntarily because of constraints, whereas society is built on these relationships themselves -- society is the mental abstraction of a community.

I'd consider HN and other online "communities" to be somewhere in between, where people form relationships because of some abstract notion of common constraints/goals/etc. Maybe there's a better term, though, to describe social groups that have something in common without everyone necessarily having direct contact with each other.

I think what's common to all social groups, though, is some level of trust. I come to HN because I trust the opinions and incentives are somewhat close to my own. So I'd consider it to be a community in that sense but it doesn't seem completely accurate since there's no direct contact between everyone.

Nuclear power is shrinking with no new plants being built and old ones being decommisioned. So spreading is definitely not the word I would have used either.

Yet people still rail against an EV company because "tweets" and continue to suck on big auto that held us back on purpose because their factories were built for ICE engines, and ya'know, cheated on emission tests.

But no, getting angry and emotional is not the answer. We're reducing our emissions, mostly thanks to natural gas (fracking) displacing coal, but part due to alternatives like wind and solar. Some states like Texas run on wind for the full day at times, only tapping into non-renewables during peak loads.

We've made great progress and some people need to calm down or they look crazy (some are), diminishing their cause.

Some people seem to treat "green" as a religion. The sin you're born with is your carbon footprint. You can do everything and it's still not enough. You have to flagellate yourself, you need to convert everyone else to live your lifestyle, you need to give this and that up. You need to live without electricity, without transportation, without meat, etc. Some positions are counter productive to the cause or are simply useless (banning straws instead of sanctioning foreign countries/companies for dumping plastic waste that they buy from us)

Be a conservationist, not an environmentalist. Clean the Earth, make it better, but stop with the doomsday speeches and flagellation.
On at least one drive I saw, the flush command was instead interpreted as a barrier to commands being committed to the log in controller DRAM, which could cut into parallelization, and therefore throughput, looking like a latency spike but not a flush out of the cache.
I don't get the sense that Japan is, culturally, particularly interested in studying or publishing their WWII history.
Can a viable business be made around targets/victims sending their phishing attacks to a reverse engineering lab? The more valuable the target, the more likely an unknown and valuable exploit might be surfaced. As a consequence, this increases the expected cost of attacking these targets/victims.
Maybe I am missing something but why do they interpret this joke as being about the Holocaust?

IMHO, it seems more about Canada's skyrocketing deficit and debt with a quip that even Hitler had to contend with a budget (in general, not specifically to conduct the Holocaust) whereas Trudeau seems not to.
my own particular PDF copy of Big Oil research showing climate change from carbon burning, is dated in the 1970s. It is a clear research result at the time. They even predict a two percent rise in temps, around now.. there is no question at all. I read it from time to time.

Yes, I am a big fan of Green Building Advisor and I also watch a lot of building YouTubers, predominantly Matt Risinger's Build Show[1].

He has featured other builders and home owners who also have websites or channels, and there I've found more information. There was one chap in central Canada that built a ~5k sqft house that only needed around 1600W to heat in the winter in subzero temperatures. That's the type of energy efficiency we need in new home construction if we're ever going to make a dent in climate change.

One of the scariest experiences of my life was going on a walk after lunch with someone who had T1D and miscalculated their insulin dose. They went from totally fine, to saying “I don’t feel well, we need to head back”, to sweaty and sheet white and barely conscious within just a few minutes. The terror I felt as we waited for the doors of the lift to open so he could get to his emergency food is burned into my brain.

I’m ashamed that I spent so much of my life ignorantly thinking that diabetes was some nuisance like heartburn where you moderate what you eat and maybe take some medication, rather than the endless grind of counting units and risking your life every time you need to eat, or exercise, or sleep.

I can’t imagine living like that, and I’m so, so sorry to you and to everyone else that has no choice. A cure for cancer is often held up as the holy grail of medicine, but even cancer patients don’t have to be perfect every day just to keep living.
Hah, was happy to see this list as just built my home and did most of these. .8 ACH 50 on blower door!
Thanks, I totally missed that! It aligns with an approach I've been thinking about.
I just use the Web version, it works good enough.
Exactly, this is one of clearest examples I know of where small, local government backfires. For example, my small town recently passed a law allowing all homes to have an accessory dwelling unit. Come to find out the only reason it was passed was because the state required it by law. But within my towns borders there's an HOA that doesn't have to allow them, since of course HOA's are a loophole to the law. I imagine more HOA's are going to start appearing.
Those tests themselves may need to change if significant refactoring is involved. Doing so after the refactoring seems to defeat the purpose of using TDD in the first place?
> people will see an ocean of normal content anywhere free speech is allowed

Not sure I agree on this one. Forums like /r/conservative, patriots.win, and Gab claim to be in favor of "free speech," but dissenters quickly get banned. 4chan comes to mind — people do indeed post things of all political slants there, and the only moderation seems to be removing obviously unlawful content. And yet 4chan is almost decidedly covered in turds.
My theory is that places that are inherently more desirable, whether because of culture, geography, or employment opportunities, will remain high. This probably includes most coastal regions and trendy inland spots (Austin, Boulder, etc.).

I think a lot of 'secondary' markets could take a hit. These are places that the main appeal is their current relative affordability or proximity to a more-desirable area. I think buyers that are priced out of 'desirable' areas today are effectively settling for these secondary areas, which is raising those prices. I feel like those will be the first areas to take a hit. How big that hit will be, I certainly can't say. It could be as little as a reduced rate of property appreciation, or it could be as large as a 20% hit.
