Someone found the password, the clues were amazingly accurate.

Reading about how and Argentinian forgot his wallet password.

So, Bitcoin Core really doesn't encrypt the entire wallet file such that you have to enter the password every time you want to open the wallet for any reason. It only encrypts the secret keys within, so you can open the wallet for years, only to ask for the password when you first want to spend? And still does this to this day?

That's terrible UX. No wonder people forget passwords. Or use better wallets.

The super-Earth (TOI-201 d) is a rocky planet roughly 1.4x Earth's size and approximately 6x Earth's mass, completing one orbit every 5.85 days. It is very close to its star and likely too hot for liquid water.

This confused me, because I didn't know that super-Earth only refers to the mass:

A super-Earth is a type of exoplanet with a mass higher than Earth's, but substantially below those of the Solar System's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, which are 14.5 and 17.1 times Earth's mass respectively. The term "super-Earth" refers only to the mass of the planet, and so does not imply anything about the surface conditions or habitability.

Learned something new :)

The documentary about Aadam is worth watching and available online: https://vimeo.com/866218283

I learned about The Mekons and Eleventh Drean Day from that, and have been listening to their albums and live concert tapes since.

What the 6 routes for the 2x2 grid have in common is that they all consist of exactly 2 right and 2 down moves, for 4 moves total.

This pattern holds for any size grid: there must be 20 steps for the 10x10 grid, exactly 10 down and 10 right.

How many combinations are there for 10 down and 10 right?

with gives .

Supposedly the bug was introduced then, I haven't yet found the context where it is discussed now.
