As others have said, Haskell and Rust are pretty great. A language that hasn’t been mentioned that I REALLY want to catch on, though, is Unison.

Honorable mention to my main driver lately: Purescript

I’d go rob the people that made my entire 20’s and 30’s into indentured student loan servitude for exactly the dollar figure they stole from me plus the insane interest that they tacked onto it because they owned politicians who eliminated all avenues that I could’ve used to get out of that contract.

The figure they stole from me: $197,355.49

They simply want to make money for not creating any new content. They want subscribers not customers. They are currently in a new mode: rent seeking.

Pirate until they get their act together and offer something that has all content available, simply dividing up the proceeds fairly by percentage of viewing time.

Piracy is an availability problem. These assholes built 200 walled-gardens and are wondering why people don’t go to theirs.

If they can’t even admit that the economy is BAD, I don’t feel the need to entertain their other opinions.

Someone needs to include a text version of this article. It’s behind a paywall and I refuse to pay propagandists for the IDF.

Binance Code and Internal Passwords Exposed on GitHub for Months

Comment

I hope nobody loses their shirt over this.

Summary

  • Sensitive data exposed: Internal code, infrastructure diagrams, passwords, and other technical information were publicly accessible on GitHub for months.
  • Source unclear: Unclear if an outside hacker or Binance employee accidentally uploaded the data.
  • Potential risk: Information could be used by attackers to compromise Binance systems, though Binance claims "negligible risk".
  • Data details: Included code related to passwords and multi-factor authentication, diagrams of internal infrastructure, and apparent production system passwords.
  • Binance response: Initially downplayed the leak, later acknowledged data was theirs but downplayed risk.
  • Current status: Data removed from GitHub via copyright takedown request.
  • Unclear if any malicious actors accessed the data.

I’ve been thinking lately about the concept of the fediverse and repurposing it toward the goal of creating a free and open, decentralized, federated network of vendors that run instances or groups of vendors that run one instance together. These instances would broadcast inventory updates to each node that they federate with. It would start off niche and gain traction that way before branching out into other retail types.

Is this a feasible idea? Has any pulled this off? Wayfair, Amazon, Shopify, and Etsy are already suffering from enshittification. Someone needs to take the inventory out of the walled gardens and back into the customer’s hands. I shouldn’t have to rely on Google to find products I want. There are vendors that want to sell me stuff nearby…it’s just a problem of connecting the user to the content..and this seems like a no-brainer.


I’d love to have a discussion about this. I am seriously considering creating a rolling fork of Lemmy that would maintain parity but also add this functionality but I want to talk to experts and weigh the pros and cons before embarking on such an ambitious project.

edit: I also started a community ( https://infosec.pub/c/federated_inventory ) dedicated to the discussion of this idea. I'm trying to get vendors in a budding local industry to fund the creation of this system, which would branch out into all retail industries eventually along with the network effect.

Join us for a year-end celebration on Essential Cardano 360!

As 2023 comes to a close, we're taking a journey through some of the highlights that made this year truly remarkable for the Cardano ecosystem.

From the groundbreaking research at IOG to the launch of transformative projects from an array of builders, Cardano has seen unprecedented growth and success throughout the year. We'll be revisiting key moments, acknowledging the contributions of the Cardano community, and highlighting the achievements that shaped the age of Voltaire.

From Valentine Upgrade, Wanchain's launch of the first cross-chain bridge, and global CIP-1694 workshops to Rare Evo, Cardano Summit and recent Cardano Ballot - let’s relive it all.

As we bid farewell to 2023, we're excited about what the future holds for Cardano. From governance advancements to technological developments, the journey continues. We extend our gratitude to the Cardano360 show viewers, contributors, and the entire Cardano community for your support. Wishing everyone happy holidays from the IOG team! 🎉

Again, your inconsistencies with implementations and practice are hurting your data accuracy, period...and from the outcry of others on our previous post, it's clear it is widespread.

Take @ethereum and @PancakeSwap in the below chart, blue line is market cap. Their 1:1 chain migrations had minimal effect. Now, look at #Ergo in the beginning, clearly #CMC's method of data display here is showing something that is not.

Read about Ergo's early days here and EFYT: docs.ergoplatform.com/mining…

CMC argues that it was a 1:1 swap, however...the total supply was drastically different, and they are ignoring that.

Total Supply EFYT: 1,970,945 Erg: 97,739,924 The ratio here is almost 50:1

To anyone interested in accurate data, the chart should look similar to the blue market cap line in the picture below for Ergo.

  • @coingecko's solution was to start from mainnet.

Solution: Fix the chart according to total supply ratio, or, start from mainnet and link to the EFYT chart in a note above the current chart.

Inaccurate data can have a massive effect on adoption and their "first look" of a project as well as devs and businesses looking to purchase CMC's data feeds. Let's get it fixed!

https://nitter.net/ergo_platform/status/1720821527363338449?s=46&t=unlmaZgiDE_T6t5A5mx21Q

You’ve now made a statement to other projects who want accurate data on #CMC: “Don’t question us, or we will make it worse”. Your updated note on our chart is a clear sign you prefer “don’t you dare correct us” rather than have data that is represented with accuracy.

Your lack of understanding of total supply in relation to a 1:1 migration is downright worrisome.

Please reflect our data properly. To clear up twisting our words for their benefit and their unprofessionalism, here is the full support chain: checkvist.com/p/dxdsOg9cQr7f…

#cryptocurrency, @IOHK_Charles , @RichardMcCrackn , @cardano_whale , @SpectrumLabs_ , @nonkyc_exchange , @RosenBridge_erg we need your help to fight the bully. Please help us find a louder voice so that #CMC knows they can’t push around projects, even demanding money, as they see fit.

Here’s a 100 year old past sauce recipe that a good friend of mine shared on Reddit long ago. I’m happy to port it over to Lemmy for all of you even though it’s kind of off-topic in this thread: here goes

Tomato Sauce - Adam P.

100 Year Old Fabrizio Family recipe. Current iteration by my friend.

Okay. Go get:

4 - 28oz cans crushed tomatoes

1 - 6oz can tomato paste

1 small/medium brown onion

1 head garlic

olive oil

red wine

salt & pepper

crushed red pepper

dry herbs (thyme, basil, parsley)

dry bay leaves

Okay? So...

Get your biggest pot. Pour in enough olive oil to fully cover the bottom, maybe 1/8" to 1/4" deep. Not too much or it will pool in the sauce later. Put the heat on medium-low. Do not burn the olive oil. If it smokes, turn it down.

Chop the onion and add to the pot. Stir and then let them sweat until they are properly translucent. While that is happening, chop two or three garlic cloves. Throw out the green shoot in the middle. This is a non-digestible "germ" (as in "wheat germ") and only causes heartburn and bad breath. Pitch it. Now put the chopped garlic in the pot and reduce the heat to low. Do not burn the garlic. If it browns (more than a little bit), start over. Sweat the garlic just like the onions.

Now it's tomato time. First, mix the tomato paste into the onion/garlic/oil mixture. This makes it easier to soften up and mix into the full sauce. Now, pour all four cans of crushed tomatoes into the pot and stir until everything is fully mixed together. Look for clumps of tomato paste and try and work them into the sauce. Add one healthy glass of red wine (Chianti, Zinfandel, Cabernet, etc.), then drink the rest yourself!

We're getting there!

Salt: about a whole tablespoon. Be brave. Mix it in.

Now, the herbs. Dealer's choice here. I usually do two or three pinches of each...so roughly a teaspoon. Notice oregano is not in this recipe. You will not miss it, I assure you. Go ahead and add one or two pinches of crushed red pepper, but you can always add more to the food. Don't get crazy. It does affect flavor as well as heat, so...

Black pepper: I only use pepper mills, so crank away at that until satisfied. I go heavy, but I love the stuff. Use your discretion.

Now add two or three whole bay leaves. You will be fishing these out later. They are not Good Eats.

Bring the heat back up to medium-low and simmer that pot for two hours. I don't want to see a full boil. Stir regularly, especially the bottom. We don't want anything burning or sticking to the bottom. If you need to turn it down, please do so. You can simmer this all damn day if you are so inclined, but two hours is really enough. Dig out the bay leaves before serving. You can jar this hot and freeze it, and it lasts practically forever in the freezer and fridge.

You are now the proud owner of a 100 year-old recipe from Penne, Abruzzo, Italy handed down through generations of Italian-Americans. I want my last meal on earth to be swimming in this sauce. (Wanna know how to make a mean lasagna ricotta filling? For starters, never ever use meat in lasagna.)

A post in the Cardano forum alerted me to the existence of this Matrix community, centered around Cardano.

I’ll put a link in the sidebar, as I feel that this Matrix room is one of the only instances of FOSS technologies being used for community discussion in the Cardano ecosystem besides this one.

It kind of blows my mind how dependent on centralized, closed-source technologies a community centered around a decentralized, open source technology is.

I’m starting to think that the right wing is purposely purging their platforms of dissenting voices which will create an alternative reality for their more sheep-like followers….just in time for the election season.
