The camera shows night in the Wild West.

A masked man creeps through the shadows of a sleeping town.

He looks both ways, then uses a knife to unlatch a door from the outside. He slips into near pitch blackness. He moves confidently in the darkness - he's worked for this bank before, checking on their security from theft.

Out comes his lock picking tools - the bank president's office door opens with a quick rake. Cheap lock.

Inside, with no windows to betray him, he lights a candle. There in the corner stands the safe. He knows it inside and out, and has been practicing. Five minutes later, the lock is picked, and he loads up the gold, cash, and bonds inside.

He puts the candle out, slips back outside, and returns to his room at the lodging house, climbing in through the window.

The next morning, with the discovery of missing gold, the town looks like someone kicked over a fire ants nest. It only takes 30 minutes before people start wondering about "bank security expert" who had just been in the bank every day.

A crowd heads over the boarding house, growing in size as it goes.

"Did you steal our money?", they ask?

"ABSOLUTELY NOT," he replies, "I merely used my immense mental powers to out hink several flawed physical security measures, breaking no laws of physics, in such a way that the gold, cash, and bonds previously belong to you are now in my possession, and now belong to me. No theft has taken place, only the movement of certain levers, of which anyone who knew how could move, and the movement of afterwords of certain goods."

"So you stole our money!!", the town shouted.

"No, no, I just interacted with the universe according to its very own publicly available rules. No theft has occurred!"

An old cowhand, covering him with double barrel, spoke up, "Walll, guess he's right. We deserved to lose all that money. He did nothing wrong at all."

Everyone left, impressed with his genius.

Quickwit was bought by Datadog, so I feel there's some risk quickwit-oss becomes unmaintained if Datadog's corporate priority shifts in the future, or OSS maintenance stops providing return on investment. Based on the Quickwit blog post, they are relicensing to Apache2 and releasing some enterprise features, so it seems very possible the original maintainers will move to other things, and it's unclear if enough community would coalesce to keep the project moving forward.

my old boss had an idea - "bury trees".

There's a bit of nuance to be filled out, like challenges of forest plantation monoculture and so on, but it always sounded quite practical to me. Iirc the idea derived from "coal".
If you read the Linkding archiving page, you can see that it is possible to set up SingleFile extension to auto-snapshot the page when the page is added, from the browser you're using at that moment. The advantage is that loing is handled implicitly, but a disadvantage is that this only works in the browser, and not for example when you use the Android app. But for me that's fine,

Also, it is possible to configure SingleFile extension to automatically push a snapshot to a REST Form API. You can even make it do so when you bookmarks something in your browser, to achive a flow where bookmarking something in the browser saves the page via SingleFile extension and gives it to ArchiveFile.

Also, look in the SingleFile extension options, under Destination.
Everything said to me in say taxi cabs, buses, or any places without the expectation of privacy being public would make everybody a lot more ostensibly conscientious. It would not only prevent crimes, it would make tracing criminals, solving crimes, and absolving the innocent much simpler.

There'd still be public crimes by idiots, drugs addicts, etc, of course, but the panopticon effect would prevent a huge chunk.

The trade-off is we'd have to teach kids from childhood the legal definition of a public place, which differs substantially from the "I'll make it up however I feel like" definition of a public place.

And conversely, anything said in private would have to be fiercely defended- far more than it is now.

Committing a random public crime should be as obviously a bad idea as climbing up on stage at a 10,000-person concert and committing the same crime in front of everybody.
The entire space of smart contracts falls within the intended functionality of the systems that implement them, which make this particular use of them conceptually unlike things like buffer overflows.

"We shouldn't consider your solution because there may be other solutions."
Honestly it seems to have different new bugs every year. This year, it completely ignored income from a 1099-DIV imported from Vanguard. It shows the 1099-DIV as imported, and it shows the correct numbers on it, but just failed to add any of those numbers to the totals for dividends and distributions!

Apparently the work-around is to manually edit the form and enter 0.00 on any line the import left blank. After doing that, the software accounts for everything properly.

I found a forum post of TurboTax users discussing this exact issue with Vanguard 1099-DIVs back in January, and it still isn't fixed yet in April. Seems like this could affect a lot of people who just won't notice, because it isn't obvious unless you manually double-check the tax math.
People aren’t saying the chance is literally zero. They are saying it is low enough that they can’t consider it reliable comp for income purposes in their own personal situations. I can’t say my experience has been any different so I don’t blame them. People commenting aren’t math illiterate. I’m kinda amazed you are taking things so literally when it’s so obvious to anybody reading how to interpret the discussion.
It reminds me of the Sam Bankman-fried case, but it also quite different. SBF thought the abstractions would protect him from the law when he clearly was misleading investors and using code to abstract away his fraud. However, in this case, the code/fraud was presented and used as intended. While I believe SBF was innocent of defrauding his early investors who were foolish to trust such a system, he was guilty for other reasons.

Andean Medjedovic's case shouldn't have even made it to court and he had no obligation to leave his crypto or cashed out legal tender with some "custodian" and spend the next several years of his life as a beta tester for establishing case law. This wasn't just "code is law," more accurately, "under the stipulations of the contract, code is law."

Props to the author for grinding through this, but I think a very strongly worded and formatted warning is needed at the top. Embarking on this trip with so little knowledge meant putting yourself far away from civilizations while criminally underprepared.

I love the energy of Supertramps, but there is a reason they are controversial. It would be very easy to make a mistake and be in big trouble - underestimating water needs in a barren stretch, a hole in your tire (not tube) and not knowing how to fix it, etc. it’s pure luck you didn’t not over exert a small muscle or ligament locking you out of cycling during recovery.

No matter whether you are using C for "freedom" or "flexibility" of "power", 95% of the time you only need that in a very small portion of your codebase. You almost definitely do _not_ need any of that in, say, the logic to parse CLI arguments or config files, which however is a prime example of a place where vulnerabilities are known to happen.

This has been said for other languages, and it turns out no one is mature enough to consistently make it work without issues. The world has moved on; we can have proper tools that won't shoot your leg off.

Why risk misusing the sharp tool when you can just use something safe to accomplish the same thing?

I've been pretty disappointed with eStargz performance, though... Do you have any numbers you can share? All over the internet people refer to numbers from 10 years ago, from workloads that don't seem realistic at all. In my experiments it didn't provide a significant enough speedup.

>anti-worker

Missed that by a mile.
A few notes I would make as an outsider:

- conventionally we put the `node' struct at the start of the `user' struct. The advantage is that we can convert from node* to user* with a simple cast instead of messing around with offsets. Knowing the offset stuff is still potentially useful in case you want multiple `node's in a single struct, but that is seldom the case so you can almost always get by with just a cast.

- this strategy is, especially with the node at the start of the user, equivalent to inheritance. I take it from the fine article that zig doesn't have inheritance? If they are planning on adding more interfaces like this linked list one, then inheritance would be a good idea. We often treat inheritance using analogies to the animal kingdom or to geometric shapes, but data structures like linked lists are (to my understanding) the problem that inheritance is actually designed to solve, and it is really the best approach to solving problems like in the OP.

- just lol on zig speed running being a crappier C++.

He should have accepted their offer of 10% as a bug bounty.

The TV show, in it's absurdity, pointed me to the radio show, which I adored, which led me to read all the books, so when the game came out we laughingly struggled with it, for months, until the sales guy at egghead gave us just a few hints...

A dacade later, ztools was able to read it's dictionary, and people would ask what it was all about... We distributed libraries on bbses, Napster, all manner or ways to get the media out so people could laugh... And most of them found their way back to the Adams books and recordings. We never distributed the books, unless the 2nd half was deleted... ( Waldens, which was beside Egghead, would to though spurts where Adams books would make the best sellers lists, and fade, and enjoy multiple resurgences. )

Go and buy the books (Douglas Adams) and use them for gifts.

Coincidentally, I'm reading Walker's book "Life as No One Knows It: The Physics of Life's Emergence" on the same topic. (Walker is one of the researchers in the article.) Summary: I don't like the book. The book was motivating me to write an article "Books I don't like", but I'll comment here instead :-)

The book describes "Assembly Theory", a theory of how life can arise in the universe. The idea is that you can quantitatively measure the complexity of objects (especially chemicals) by the number of recursive steps to create them. (The molecule ATP is 21 for instance.) You need life to create anything over 15; the idea of life is it contains information that can create structures more complex than what can be created randomly. The important thing about life is that it isn't spontaneous, but forms an unbroken chain through time. Explaining how it started may require new physics.

If the above seems unclear, it's because it is unclear to me. The book doesn't do a good job of explaining things. It looks like a mass-market science book, but I found it very confusing. For instance, it's unclear where the number 21 for ATP comes from, although there's an analogy to LEGO. The book doesn't define things and goes into many, many tangents. The author is very, very enthusiastic about the ideas but reading the book is like looking at ideas through a cloud of vagueness.

The writing is also extremely quirky. Everyone is on a first-name basis, from Albert (Einstein) to Johnny (von Neumann) and Erwin (Schrödinger). One chapter is written in the second person, and "you" turn out to be "Albert." The book pushes the idea that physics is great and can solve everything, covering physics "greatest hits" from relativity and quantum mechanics to gravitational waves and the Higgs boson. (The underlying theme is: "Physics is great. This book is physics. Therefore, this book is great.") The book has a lot of discussion of how it is a new paradigm, Kuhn's paradigm shifts, how it will move astrobiology beyond the pre-paradigmatic phase and unify fields of research and so forth. It's not a crackpot book, but there are an uncomfortable number of crackpot red flags.

I'm not rejecting the idea of assembly theory. To be honest, after reading the book, I don't understand it well enough to say which parts seem good and which parts seem flawed. There seem to be interesting ideas struggling to get out but I'm not getting them. (I don't like to be negative about books, but there are a few that I regret reading and feel that I should warn people.)
> "We can expect the carbon pool stored in these forests to increase substantially,"

Interesting. I would have guessed that any kind of forests have quite limited cap how much carbon it could retain in dead wood, and that this cap will be pretty much fixed. Unless something will stop natural decay processes releasing the carbon back to the atmosphere I don't see how existing grown forest could increase its capacity, since I suppose it is already at its equilibrium.

(Unlike peatlands, where most of accumulated carbon remains underwater, so it presumably has much larger capacity.)

Simply said, without "burying or sinking wood mass" I see no easy way to prevent carbon from returning into the atmosphere. Basically if we need to take carbon from the atmosphere, we should ideally put it back from where we have been mining it for last couple of centuries.

The big difference is that those are centralized systems owned by corporations, and accessing them in a way which you're not supposed to, such as by changing a bank account number or exploiting a zero day, is a crime.

With DeFi it's different; the code is public and decentralized. There was no unauthorized access to anything here. From my reading of what was done, it was essentially taking advantage of the poor trading strategy of Indexed Finance.

I'm not going to pretend to be a lawyer, but I don't see a lot of parallels between this and e.g. using SQL injection to obtain unauthorized access to a system.
