In this scenario, the 10% would be forced to exit as their deposit would be slashed, and would drop below the required minimum for a security deposit. So within a short period, you would end up with 50% signing on A, and 50% signing on B.

These would have to have different network or chain IDs to avoid slashing events. One of them, presumably B, would have had to actually change this number from whatever the previously standard/agreed-upon chain ID is.

I could imagine this scenario happening in a contentious split or attack, but it would create two very clearly different blockchains with different goals and needs, like what happened with Eth and EthClassic, or Eth and EthPoW.
>I downloaded the popular rockyou.txt wordlist and put my actual vault master plaintext password inside

I was hoping for an exploration of how quickly one might crack a lastpass vault looking at different strength passwords and different iteration counts.

Instead the author has simply demonstrated that if you tell the cracking tool your password it can indeed crack it...

I guess you can at least follow what they did with your own vault without adding your password to the word list and see if it cracks quickly or not.
They are very useful and widely used in blockchains.
What's stopping them from introducing a new major version of the protocol that addresses this?

Presumably they could have a negotiation process that newer clients invoke to upgrade the message stream to a new format, and support both in parallel on the backend until an insignificant number of sessions were using the old version.

I don’t get why people assume others are just mindless fruit flies in these threads. Maybe OP just doesn’t want to fiddle with technology and pays Amazon to simply get it done. That’s what I’d do, there’s no need to turn every project into excercise in orchestrating open-source software.

You're hand waving away a lot of things here. People have the expectation of convenience and the current standard is whatever any regular car can do. When things fall short it can be a major inconvenience or even a deal breaker.

You name "a huge pain" and someone will disagree. Not having a car at all is far from a huge pain but you still have one, even at a significant price.

Turing completeness is actually amazing in its simplicity.

You take a push down automata (finite state automata plus a stack) and then add the ability to read and write anywhere in the stack.

The essence of Turing completeness is the ability to take any intermediate result as an input to the computation of the next result.

This is why the halting problem is even a problem, because you need all of the intermediate results to know the end result.

Ok now back to the topic at hand. Turing completeness on the L1 layer isn't very impressive because every node is supposed execute the code to validate it. The problem with L2 then is the fact that you must somehow avoid that, i.e. the L2 layer executes the smart contract and determines a result and these results are batched on the L1 where the point is that you're not supposed to execute the contract as otherwise there is no speedup to be gained. It is sort of a paradox.

The end result has to be verified on chain. The most promising strategy so far is build a zkEVM which produces a zero knowledge proof that can be verified on L1 via a smart contract.

I still don't understand how this convinces people to buy Ethereum.

Money is supposed to be a medium of exchange because barter is expensive and time consuming. Instead of trading anything for anything we trade anything for money and money for anything. Competition is good but is Ethereum even competing?

How exactly do random wealth transfers to early adopters serve any purpose that money is supposed to be used for according to classical text books?
There's really two separate issues in the pricing.

- Games are getting a much higher production level than the past, and this costs more. Sometimes this is good, but often it isn't necessary, it's just to pad out margins. At least you can see where the money is going, but it makes everything less accessible to kids, people with a casual interest, and anyone with limited cash on hand.

- Prices have just plain gone up. Yes, I can understand why a small-publisher POD title or a box of custom plastic is $100 even if I wish there were other options. But why has Catan gone from $25 to $60 MSRP even as the components have dropped slightly in quality? Bohnanza from $10 to $20? RftG, $20 to $35? These increases are a) largely pre-pandemic, b) since ~2015, tracking overproduced editions and industry consolidation rather than general inflation, so the cause is not really a mystery.
TLDR: Pre-product-market fit (childhood) is not equal to post-product-market fit (adulthood) — and trying to clone an adult company without true product-market fit yourself significantly increases odds of never reaching product-market fit.

__

While there likely endless list of advice on reaching product-market fit, to me, advise given by Richard Wiseman in his book titled “The Luck Factor” feels like the most generalized. TLDR is lucky people: (0) are social and intentionally seek out new connections; (1) maximize chance opportunities, they’re not fixated on a grand plan; (2) nurture and listen to their intuition; (3) expect good fortune; (4) find the good in bad situations.

I don't know the comparison between them. But your question is also loaded (intentionally or maybe not). Why I say loaded? How you formulated includes the hidden assumption that Python is more advanced or faster. Thus it is not an open question. This may not be your intention, so I am sorry if I am interpreting it in the wrong way.

I got triggered by this because a lot of people put a lot of effort into making this release happen. Don't take away their "wind" by asking veiled questions that hint that other languages are good, especially as this submission is just an announcement and does not make any comparision between Ruby and other languages.

It is ok if you like Python more than Ruby. There is a place for everyone, and I wish people would adopt the mindset of "growing a pie" and not act like every release of any other language is a direct hit to their own choice.

About speed, I would say this:

- if you are creating a project with speed as the primary business value, then yes, don't choose Ruby. Choose C or Crystal

- if your project is a web app, then it does not matter if you choose Python or Ruby

- rarely a project that has speed a core business value dies out because it is slow. So from a business perspective, the criterium of speed is irrelevant.

To be fair, watching THREE reactors explode would be horrifying to anyone, any government would have panicked.

With that said, I think even this old PWR design has actually proven itself to be extremely safe as it effectively prevented Chernobyl-style scenario during such rare and catastrophic event.

I mean, 3 reactors literally exploded, 3 cores melted and… pretty much nothing happened.

But it would be great to see new molten-salt fast reactor designs to gain traction, as they would be even safer, 95% more fuel efficient, not require water for cooling, and produce far less waste.
That counts, but parents spend most of their time with their kids. Moms gather and the kids come along and help to an extent. If you can take your children to work and interact with them while you're working, that's huge.

The upshot is that we have to do everything we can to give our children more of our time; we aren't a desperately poor society, we can do more. We have wandered far from our "species essence" and now wonder why so much is going wrong.

The first years are brutally hard (the sleep deprivation in particular) and in my experience work is much easier than raising children, so there's definitely truth to that. The best is when you can do both at the same time. During COVID, for instance, I wrote code in one room while my 1yo played in the next (since everything was locked down). As she got older, she started asking questions and would even provide me advice "stop thinking daddy!" (just do, I assume she was implying). I think this is closer to how it was in the old days—where the kids worked alongside the parents in the farms or shops. You get to spend time with your children while teaching them your crafts and showing them the joy and passion of work. That is the good life, in my opinion.

Benchmarks will eventually come out. However, put this into perspective.

Ruby has a JIT. Python doesn't. Until it does, its performance is fundamentally capped by it.

Ruby has two viable alternative runtimes, one that sees a lot of production usage (jruby) and another one which can run the same code as CRuby (truffleruby). Both do not have a GIL. Both have multi-tier JITs, and a huge upside. Most of the ecosystem is known to test compatibility with jruby, and the effort to do the same with truffleruby is well underway.

Compare that with python, where not running Cpython comes with a lot of asterisks, mostly because the ML ecosystem that brought it to massive popularity can only run in Cpython.

Ruby has overall more upside.

Strangely, there are details in the <meta> description that are missing from the article: "In September 2020, scientists at MIT and Cardiff University announced they had observed what may be signs of life in the clouds of our planetary neighbor, Venus. Their observations indicated the potential presence of phosphine, a gas typically produced by living organisms. In 2023, Rocket Lab is sending the first private mission to Venus to help gather further evidence. The goal, using an Electron launch vehicle and Photon spacecraft, is to send a probe to around 30 miles’ altitude, where Venus’ atmospheric conditions are closer to those found on Earth."

It was in the original version of the article [1]. Maybe they wanted to remove reference to the discredited [2] phosphine story? Maybe that means it's not happening in 2023?

Right.

In many ways, Nix is almost like a layer on top of Linux. If anything goes wrong, you'll need to understand both the Linux stuff, as well as how Nix works, and how Nix is making use of what's going on.

I actually do use suckless tools, so I don't think I missed these points. I've read them many times over the years in fact. I've used i3 (which is quite suckless) and dmenu for a good while, mostly out of habit at this stage, and I've basically come to the conclusion that I mistakenly looked up the to the wrong people many years ago, and mistook confidently spoken dogma for wisdom. Snappiness and "outperformance" in the suckless world are usually defined via memory footprint, which is basically just metric Gerrymandering. You pay for that unremarkable performance edge by severely degrading your personal performance on teams, on other people's machines and in movie night situations when you're the only person who can control your esoteric computer.

I bought into the whole "do the minimal changes when they arise" thing for many years, but then I realised I was basically just slowly rediscovering what had already been discovered by plenty of others before me: the bundled desktops work fine, and they are not really the problem. The problem for me was actually just a need to feel in control while other things in life felt out of my control. That's probably why I still haven't kicked all suckless stuff entirely. But I would never advise anybody else to go down the suckless path. There are so many better hobbies to explore out there, incidentally so many hobbies that will put you in circles that are more enjoyable company than the suckless circles. Slowly iterating on your own personal set of keybindings and scripty doodads is the digital equivalent of spending an evening playing single player solitaire, except much less challenging.

I generally prefer strength training with free weights in the gym, but have experimented with a bit of everything over the years. I don't have a certain answer for you about training daily: I think if you do it right it's fine, but it depends on the person and intensity. However, with starting any new workout regimen the biggest risk in my opinion is over-planning, not over-training. People (especially when a new year is coming up) make workout regimes and worry about how often to train, how long to train for, over-training, whether they'll get too bulky, whatever. But most people do this before they even start doing the actual work and building the habit. It's just a waste of time and mental energy.

I'm prone to this as well, since I _love_ reading about different schools of thought, exercise styles, schedules, etc.

For now, I'd suggest not even worrying about overtraining. Just start training. Research the movement you're doing to make sure you do it with good technique, and listen to your body. If you're super sore the next day, maybe hold off and train something else or take a rest day. For the majority of people starting out over-training is not the issue: actually sticking to their workouts is.

Agreed, it was a bit disappointing to get to the part where the password was added to the word list.
