Passed 13 years a couple weeks ago and just passed 80,000 rep. Too bad hardly anyone asks on Stack Exchange anymore, in the age of text-generating clankers. End of an era.

Answering my own question: counting as a "hit" also requires reaching first base.

Murch @murch.one · 17/04/2026

No-hitter? I’m confused by the terminology here. Wasn’t that ground ball right before the celebration a valid hit?

Yeah, I've been wondering as well... Wouldn't people with ties abroad be way more likely to have a passport?

I agree, but the phrasing was funny to me, because 2.4% of the USA's population (340 million) live in NYC (over 8.25 million).

Waiting for the big outlets to put two and two together and realize that police whose identities are secret and facilities are secret are secret police.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Satsie's new zine on Silent Payments dropped. It's a neat little introduction to the topic.

I'm a big fan of not calling people criminals before they're convicted. I hope that all suspected criminals get due process, so when non-criminals get falsely accused they are identified as innocent. I also don't want anyone to get abducted and tortured, so I find your supposed position rather sick.

It's raining BIPs, hallelujah... Recently merged: BIP53 BIP54 BIP172 BIP177 BIP321 BIP443 On the cusp: BIP77 Maybe a good time to remind that BIPs are author documents that represent the authors’ recommendation to the Bitcoin community.

I have a question about P2A and ephemeral dust. Can somebody please explain this new output without the lightning language, just on-chain vocabulary. How this address is made, why is it so small, is

Without due process, being innocent or a citizen does not protect you. See you at the next protest.

If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too. We demand due process is upheld for every single person.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

For many decades, Freiburg has been expanding tram lines and bike paths, enlarging and beautifying pedestrian zones, optimizing traffic lights, and improving legal regulations. These efforts have been a great success: 79% of all trips are made by bicycle, bus, train, or on foot—the best in Germany.

People walk, cycle, and ride trams along the low-traffic streets of Freiburg, Germany.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Geht so, an das meiste gewöhnt man sich, aber manche Gepflogenheiten scheinen immer noch seltsam. Der Autozentrismus, Medienlandschaft und Politik gehen mir immer noch auf den Keks. Würde mich weiterhin mehr als Deutscher identifizieren.

Oops, zweimal "3)", aber die zweite "3)" ist halt leider ein Bruchteil der Bevölkerung und irgendwie weiß halt keiner was passiert wenn sowohl eine Mehrheit der Legislative als auch die Exekutive sich ihrer Verantwortung entsagen und nur die Judikative überhaupt Widerstand leistet.

Der Rest 1) findet die Richtung tendenziell gut, aber folgt nicht den Details, 2) unterstützt den Abbau der Instutitionen insbrünstig, 3) findet die Richtung schlecht, aber bleibt inaktiv, oder 3) findet es schon hinreichend gruselig um politisch aktiv zu sein, zu demonstrieren, etc.

Es gibt Widerstand, aber zu wenig. Politikverdrossenheit und eine irrige Wahrnehmung, dass "all das in Washington mich nicht betrifft". Ein Teil der Bevölkerung hat generell aufgehört Nachrichten zu konsumieren. Ein Teil denkt "mein Team hat gewonnen" und taucht in vier Jahren wieder auf.

Ooof. Looks like the old "Don’t roll your own crypto" needs a 2025 update: "Don‘t roll your own crypto and most certainly don’t trust an LLM to generate your own crypto for you".

Yet again, it is mindboggling how expensive and slow residential internet in the Bay Area is. Of all the places on the world, you’d think the Bay Area would have managed to build out fiber.
