BTC has changed a bit since the original white paper, and I have read the white paper(though it's been a while). Back it up with sources to convince me I'm wrong, don't just say I am with nothing but YOU ARE WRONG, that does

Again, if they don't control 51%, their new statefile would be pointless, unless they did a hard-fork, but if I have the resources for a 51% attack on the current fork, chances are I have the same capability on the new fork. The only w

You are both mostly right, as I understand it. If I had >50% hashing power of BTC(for exactly 1 transaction), I can make the current chain say anything I want, like give me all the BTC, and it would become valid and "permanent"

It's not that large of a lock-in, you can fairly painlessly move from sqlite -> postgres. They share a lot of commonality. I have no experience moving from sqlite -> mysql, but I imagine it's only a bit more difficult. But I

For Google sized, obviously not. But lots and lots of production stuff will likely live quite comfortably in 400 writes per second.

Yes, Capsicum, and libcasper and MAC and whatever else they are adding to it now to make it saner to use in practice(I don't really keep up). I'm not fully up to speed, but apart from some commands in the base system, I know of no

Except container permissions in practice are non-existent. They have essentially all the permissions by default. There is a reason you have to run your containers as NON ROOT. It's because containers can leak root access(last I checke

Pledge is like 100% easier to understand. FreeBSD has similar stuff and it is also super complicated and basically unused.. If you can't make this idiot proof, there is little hope anyone will ever use it.

See the Beam/OTP as part of Erlang and now Elixir, Gleam, etc. Erlang came out of Ericcson when they were building giant telephone switches. Nowadays things like RabbitMQ and WhatsApp run on the Beam VM. The beam handles both local and

Thanks for maintaining this! I just upgraded our local mozilla copy to your version, works great and was seamless!

I was surprised that WA did this, so I went to check if what you said was true, turns out, they actually didn't ban non-electric vehicle sales in 2030. The actual bill: https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2021-

Can I run random long jobs, like say a PostgreSQL instance under it? and keep it monitored and sane?

This is cool, but I'd rather my CI jobs are just k8s or nomad or systemd jobs. Then the code we deploy is the same as the code we use to build, and it doesn't matter WHAT you do in build land, go nuts and do whatever you want. CI

The client code is open source, so it should be pretty easy to tell if they actually do it.

I agree with you mostly, that there are spaces where active can make great bets. But this particular example isn't quite true. Passive Index funds are not automated 100% and have discretion on when/how closely they track the index

You obviously are not wrong, but I was responding to the question, and for small-time websites, what I said is generally going to be true. These surf-by lawsuits are still after 1 thing, $$$$'s. The chances of a lone developer website

Generally nobody will START with a lawsuit, they will poke @ you/the owner of the website and say hey, X doesn't work for users Y(some group of people needing accessibility). If the owner/you are a total meanie pants, THEN th

You seem awfully confident of yourself, but I'd disagree with many of those perspectives. Just because you sound confident doesn't mean you are correct. There is a reason there are 500,000 git tutorials that start with the basics

Git and Fossil started about the same time, and initially released within a year of each other. For the record, the people that created SQLite also created Fossil. The SQLite software(and website) was Fossil's initial use-case. Fossil

Building codes seems to be one such example where this is pretty uniformly NOT true... sadly.

by zie 6y ago
You aren't technically wrong, I guess, but Fossil would disagree that SQLite is somehow wrong for this use-case. Fossil does seems to have issues when the VCS grows into many many gigabytes of data, like the entire OpenBSD source tree

by zie 6y ago
Since you are using SQLite you can look at how fossil does syncing of their table(s). Since Fossil is just a sqlite DB.

OK, let's assume what you say is true. You spent the $100k or whatever to compute a SHA1 hash collision and you can replace the bits 11011 with the bits 1010. How is this useful? It *MIGHT* be useful, but chances are it's not v

I agree in binary formats, it's easier to accomplish, but it by no means is easy. Thankfully most source code is plain text. There are mostly trivial ways to encode information in whitespace/etc, but again, the ability to carry s

again, once you pay for it, even with cash, they can track you down(though it may take a while). It's trivially easy to see where a given # is, so once they know the phone #, they can pretty easily find out who has it in their possessi

only if they are still paying the bill will this be useful. If you start paying the bill, well then.. they know exactly who you are.

'quite easy' is relative, and just because you can find some file that matches the hash, there is also a very high likelihood that the file will be useless. The chances of generating a USEFUL file(where useful means it does somet
