Ask HN: Is there a definitive list of all prefixed API key?
Hey HN,

I was just curious if someone had already gathered a list of all prefixed API Key somewhere accessible (and hopefully open source). e.g: `gh_ => github`, `sk_live_ => stripe`

GitHub provides a list of supported secret scanning partner[1] but do not show if they are prefixed.

It would be great to have this somewhere to avoid surprises and find potential conflicts.

Without some of that the game would be unplayable or at least highly constrained.

A 2 week ride on horseback would be a reasonable trip in that milieu but has to be compressed somehow; at best the group could meet and game out some encounters during that time period but that takes dedication, and if that was the way you rolled you’d also put them in a conference room for a long weekend to play the dungeon.
And largely due to game play. Lot could be scaled down to present enough generic npcs and buildings, but having to spend time traveling through same town for 5, 10, 30 minutes or more each time is not exactly fun. Or takes special kind of player. I am not saying there is not fans of that level of realism, but it is not big niche.
Maybe but YT recommendations are good enough so that you don't see those 99% you are not interested in.
> They feel behind because they didn't have the smart guy with a new idea a few years back, and HE decided to work at a place which started as open.

The "Attention Is All You Need" guys all worked at Google. Google is where they are despite having the smart guys with a new idea a few years back.

Of course, IMHO it wouldn't have have helped Google if they'd kept the transformer architecture secret. They'd have fumbled it because they didn't realise what they had.

thats a little reductive.

Tolkien was influenced by many things, such as the rings of the nibelungen and other proto germanic stories, his studies of the english language especially in its older forms, christianity for core values, and indeed his experiences in ww1.
English also has fourscore (four twenty) = 80.
I'm currently learning Go, and I recommend it just to have a new perspective. It's a very opinionated language that I think almost forces you into writing good code. It's also a joy to write because once you fix any errors, everything feels so clean and structured.
ACE 1, so I’m qualified to respond :)

An important thing for you and I to keep in mind is that we aren’t just talking about psychology.

ACEs cause (or exacerbate) depression, anxiety, and so on; they also cause (or exacerbate) cancer, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and so on.

It’s obviously a lot of work to disentangle causation from secondary health impacts of mental illness, but to our shame there is more than enough data, and the work has been done. An appreciable fraction of the damage done by ACEs is physical and irreversible after adolescence.

I think this is important for us to remember because it’s easy for us to say, oh, they must need some extra support. And yeah, they do. But it’s too little, too late. They — the children — need us to stop the ACEs from happening.

Editing in a caveat I remembered elsewhere: of course the scores don’t cause these things, and of course the individual variance is huge. As a diagnostic criterion, ACE is useful as a screener and that’s about it. As a statistic, it’s revealed a pandemic.

We are LIFEPOWR! Antwerp (Belgium) | Full-time | Remote | https://www.lifepowr.io/job-offers

A young and dynamic company, active in energy transition and scaling up!
We develop and operate Virtual Power Plant (VPP) technologies to support the worldwide transition towards renewable energy. Our VPPs deliver significant value to households, businesses and society in its entirety.

Our VPPs consist of different types of virtually connected energy resources, such as batteries, chargers for electrical cars and inverters for solar panels, aggregated together into a network of merged flexible capacity, to keep energy needs in balance and to optimize the impact of renewable energy.
We enable a flexible control over these energy-assets, which requires perfect synergy between hardware devices and controlling software.

You can help us reach these goals in the role of System Integration Engineer.
Actually, we can deploy energy infrastructure quickly
I find agile passive aggressive because the consensus is built under duress. I prefer a well reasoned approach. I can understand agile process in between waterfall milestones.

I can even support an agile process to create waterfall process.
I used to always pay for in-home service with my ThinkPads. The hinge broke on one of them, a guy came out the next day and replaced it on my dining table.

Not sure if that repair channel has a separate parts stream, but when there isn't a shortage, it's an amazing service.

Only adds a few hundred bucks and was totally worth it the several times I've had to use it. The ThinkPads I had never had very good build quality and their non US based support isn't great. With the at home service, you deal with a real person who comes to your house or business.

Then I eventually switched to Apple and never had to get anything fixed again...
The "dumbness" depends entirely on what you're used to. There's no actual need to lead off with the most significant digit other than convention.

"three million, one hundred twenty-five thousand, two hundred sixty-nine"

"nine, sixty, two hundred, thousands five, twenty, one hundred, millions three"

It could work either way.

And in fact, in the early days of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system's penetration into Europe, they actually DID lead off with the least significant digit (although numbers larger than thousands were rarely used, and the archaic wordings have only survived in the ones and tens digits - if at all for a particular language).
So why are Bilbo and Frodo not spending all of their time on fields? Why are they not starving when coming back? What do the other hobbits trade food for, is there some trade for metal implements or something?
No kidding, I'm building a PC for someone to move to Linux, probably MX
from ww1 we know that Tolkien took a strong dislike in industrialisation which made war and killing much more effective than before. Hence the "good" hobbits as traditional farmer-like society, and evil portayed as destroying the natural realm.
> Apple historically used to have a deservedly good reputation for this.

Are they? Apple only started their bug bounty program (with monetary rewards) merely 5 years ago, 12 years after first iOS release and well after everyone else. They are not very transparent about bugs and payouts (which is understandable) so I wonder where this good reputation comes from?

(if you count their invitation-only program then it started in 2016, 8 years ago)
I feel similarly. I've noticed nearly every form of self-help material I've read starts out with some trauma the author overcame. Anectodal evidence ofc.

I feel like there needs to be something that "kick starts" you to push yourself. I had a cushy, comfortable childhood that probably needed a bit more discomfort. My parents grew up in more challenging environments and did their best to not pass that on, maybe they did too good of a job. They have significantly stronger work ethic than I do.

Yea there's a lot of people with high trauma who don't make it (like some other posters have said) - we see the survivorship bias. But sometimes I wish I had a bit more kick in the ass younger because now I'm unable to do so to myself as an adult. Artificial trauma maybe suffices - like why is hazing for group bonding still a thing anywhere? Maybe college kids know what they're doing, and the occasional death is just the price we have to pay

Maybe I'm just ranting and none of this would help. I'm average because I'm lazy and it's hard to accept
in the late 90s i used a script someone made that would trigger callbacks on syslog patterns. there's different types of icmp traffic; i had iptables log the type that the ping command uses, and i played a submarine ping for each that my gateway received. i'm on the east coast usa, and i remember that i would get barraged with pings overnight, around 4am, as my ssh port got hammered simultaneously.

its 25 years later and the thought of having a single discoverable element on the net scares me.

i would really like an app that can create ambient music with composition: small songs that can overlay with harmony; if my network is running hot the baseline ramps up. if i have emails waiting, little tweets from a treble track that are fleeting but line up with the beat. there's so many ways i could use that soundtrack. plug it into the ide, errors in the buffer, subtle cues.
> Alleged doesn't mean illegal

What is alledged is that they did that. And if they did, they would have violated the law from my understanding.

> And what this claimed to have happened is not what is happening here.

That might be, but that's not entirely clear to me. I don't know if what Pave is doing is legal or not, but it seems to me that the line is quite fine and it would be fascinating to see this play out at court.
I'm sorry for your loss and I appreciate the kind words.

ChatGPT does a great job organizing and simplifying the results. It handles nuance really well and knows when to say "You'd have to ask your doctor for that"
We found out my mom's tumor was grade 4 from chatGPT. The doctors released the results on a Thursday, none of us could really understand what was being said it was full of medical jargon, and we weren't seeing the doctor until the next Tuesday

So we just dumped it into chatgpt and got the info.
Villages are smaller so they are easier to generate and fit on a page than towns. But people design based on what they experience (in games and in real-life). So most adventures take place in towns or in the wilderness. Americans probably never seen a village.

> A realistic town might need 300 houses for each inn

300 houses in one place is already a big city in dark ages. Let's say 2 stories with 2 families on each level, with 5 people in each family - that's 20*300 = 6000 people.

6000 people would probably be top 10 city in a kingdom in 1300. Rome was 25 000 people back then.

And inns were mostly for travellers, so the number of houses weren't that important - it mattered if you are integer number of days of travel from the last trade center.
Mostly agree but this does give me an idea: having a sound that indicates a change you just made to a line caused an issue with an offsceeen line. For example deleting the last usage of a variable declared higher up.

Of course there are already onscreen solutions for that, such as indicators in the minimap, but it could be more obvious as a sound.

No, I don't feel that way at all. Greed certainly kills everything that cozies up to it, but people and companies can and do succeed without doing that.
Let me see if I understand it.

If someone knows that a given address has a huge sum of money, they can create a bot to monitor that particular address, overriding any transactions to his own address?

Would that be possible???
I mean, they probably don't need their feet to continue making money and selling things online. IBM still makes money after all
> Then it's not a SCRUM process at all. Case solved.

Yeah and communism also works in theory :)
Plain text accounting is cool but I think one of the biggest barriers for people is downloading bank data into a standard format.

The banks are never going to embrace much more than CSV or excel files... the various data aggregation platforms (yodlee, plaid, etc...) are not open source or hobbyist friendly.

Back in ancient times there was a company called Wesabe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesabe) that wrote software that did bank syncing on your desktop. Mint.com basically put them out of business but I still think about that approach. I think it could work for open source.

Has anyone else?
The government definitely knew.

Yes, #1 really is that bad. Especially for _small_ children.
You can start a service like that and put it on the existing internet if you want. You can bypass DNS and make your own routing if you want. Onion and Freenet and blockchains and DHTs and content addressable systems work similarly. But nobody uses them because they're such a hassle.

Again, what you're describing is more an application or protocol, not a network necessarily. You can build it all in software on top of the existing internet.

The goal is to update beliefs in all areas when they change in one spot.

As a hypothetical, let's say you believe from prior experience that being mugged has a very high probability. Let's say 50% because it's easier.

Let's also say your friend points out that you've left your home hundreds of times this year and haven't been mugged. 50% seems like a ridiculous overestimate.

Reexamining your priors would involve not only changing your mind about the chance of being mugged, but changing downstream beliefs that might be influenced by that belief (such as what public policies you support).
Yes, the visibility rules for variables remain exactly the same. The dependent statement of a defer lives in the same scope as the defer is placed.
Working on calendar software is boring, so the big players likely give it to interns and new recruits. Office suites are so last century.

I don't think things will improve unless we find a way to shame big companies in paying attention and playing nice to each other, like it was done for HTML standards (pre-Google's monopolization).
At a previous job we had a service that handled around 1 query per second.

I crafted a oneliner that `tail -f`'d the logs and played a note for each response. I believe there were different notes for different HTTP status codes but it was years ago so the details flee me.
That falls into my second case of using smaller ALU in two steps :)
I am not convinced by the utility in this case. I'm well aware of low code and no code problems, but I am less convinced that the same principles apply to LLM code generation.

By all means use some formal language to describe LLM capabilities and so forth, but the most fantastic thing about using LLMs is that you can convey the why along with the what and get better results and the "why" does not lend itself to expression in formalized notation.

what if you study Mexican drug cartels, and you find that they have a certain method of communication that enables them to communicate more efficiently.

You copy this communication in your non-profit organization that feeds starving children and find that you are able to feed 50% more children when communicating with this more efficient method.

This is not "literally cocaine logic", it's learning from others.

To use an example you'll probably agree with more: You can hate the lyrics of a given musical artist but copy their production style and in doing so give your lyrics a better platform from which to be heard.

Methods != end goals

You can adapt effective methods currently used to accomplish questionable things to accomplish more noble things.

although, to be perfectly honest, I doubt you'd learn much from Mexican drug cartels that would apply to software, as the markets are completely different.
Yeah, but from a business perspective, they're definitely losing clients with this approach.

I get that they want to avoid abuse, but this whole random verification thing is frustrating for legit users.

They should really consider a smoother, more consistent system to keep people happy without sacrificing security
Many, many, many, maybe most people have implemented Agile as a recipe. Without understanding how it could work or why. Since they have no idea what they are doing, people who are forced to use this cargo-cult implementation find it onerous. Just another stupidity forced on them.

The question is how can people collaborate? That is the question. Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) begins to help us think about how we can do that. Simplistically we can just throw bodies at problems and we get "the mythical man month" mentality. Or we can do it with militarism - we all get marching orders. Unfortunately, good programmers do not do well with this mentality.

So is there another way? At this point, as a community, we do not really understand how people work together. Despite the face that millions of people can live in a large city, we have no clue as to the mechanism that allows this to happen. $. The city does not degrade as the Mythical Man Month predicts, nor are the people ordered about in a militaristic manner. So what gives? How does that work? $.

Why do I keep putting $ in this post? Because $ is a "messaging bus". (You tell me a better word - signalling system?). Everyone can read (get money) and write (spend money) on this messaging bus providing signals to other people.

Agile is a very fuzzy attempt to provide a messaging bus. But if you have no clue as to the mechanism, you can descend into madness - for example "If one scrums are good what if we do ten a day?".
I liked how honest the guide was. There wasn’t anything fake noble here and a lot of his frustrations I have also felt as a people manager - the questions employees ask, making excuses when deadlines slip, etc

the job is to make YouTube videos that people click and watch

What gets them to watch and stick is a few things but notably wow factor, something crazy they haven’t seen before

The bar for wow factor keeps rising

Therefore you need to keep learning driving better and better results. Otherwise you are out

You need to take ownership for results to avoid delays at all costs.
I found the top level comment to highlight useful ideas.

Operationally, so many people would benefit from understanding bottlenecks, critical components, etc

It feels a little silly to say "a more ethical organization doesn't deal with such things"

If we're here to discuss the links, then it's a little frustrating to have a hundred responses by people who haven't read the doc or are unable to set aside their preconceptions about someone saying things that feel fairly off topic to the top level comment

> but if you find yourself casting away the ethical doubts too easily, you might be in a dangerous spot to begin acting unethical yourself

Oh please. If I start a company and link this doc? Sure, then raise some concerns. If I am reading it and finding interesting operational advice about getting things done or inter team communication, I'm not particularly worried about becoming antisocial or accidentally behaving immorally (perhaps amorally is more apt)

When people talk about Waterfall Model they forget the context of the era it originated. I've worked on a waterfall project early in my career. Please keep in mind that back in the 90s most software companies didn't have CI/CD, there was no cloud, releases were hand-delivered to the customer and usually rolled out about every 6 months because technically agile wasn't possible yet for most software shops. Waterfall was a valid method back then due to the technical (and cultural) limitations.
Agile recognizes that software development is a design process with uncertainties and not a repeated tested manufacturing process (product development versus product manufacturing). With the uncertainty of a design process in mind, and the need for estimates, it suggests comparing similar tasks to get an empirical estimate. But since it's just an estimate, you regularly need to validate that the estimate is still considered correct.
Is a fine not another way of saying - “no fair!- we want our cut!”
The problem of Waterfall didn’t arise in the initial paper. It arose in subsequent interpretations. Particularly, see Parnas’ classic paper arguing that we should pretend to follow the “right” practices [which he defined as essentially Waterfall] even if we didn’t.

I call this Parnism. It’s Parnism we should fight, not Waterfall as such.
Wow, that thread is nuts. Scrolled up just a bit saw this.

My new public key search system is almost ready. I had to reinvent my binary database system because, although the database was lightweight https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5475626, I had efficiency issues with binary search. This is now a thing of the past. I have designed a system that stores 100 million public keys in an 80 KB file, yes, what you read 80KB!(in the future it will be smaller) that meets maximum efficiency. We would only be limited by the current speed of Secp256k1 when generating the 100 million or more public keys while creating the database. I am finishing designing the search script after months of being stuck due to personal issues, I am finally back on track.

I love these kind of mad inventor rabbit hole corners of the Internet. Kind of brings back the 90s for me when everything was exciting.
I also often say "this is the scope right now but we can cut portions of this if we need more time. These are the critical elements that we need before the deadline. But the rest of this stuff is us using this opportunity to not ship a pile of garbage we can't support. If we have to do that, we'll fix it as soon as the deadline passes." But also I actually have the mandate to do that.
I think it could work. In my example of writing docstring, I can see this working out with high probability.
I have certainly seen projects that started by planning everything out. High level designs, milestones, integration dates. Giant GANNT charts. But by the second quarter everyone was pretty much just redrawing the whole map, getting what they could running as early as possible and throwing things off the bus.
