Highly managed, you don't even see the Docker images, only some higher level JSON configuration file.

These setups are really convenient and cheap, and form a decent way to try out a new website with simple requirements.

Basically the same as classical limit, but more for quantum mechanics.

Sometimes you are really certain that something is a required substep for another thing that is coming right afterwards.

When things are this concrete, fine, just do the substep.

But you have to always beware of cases where "I'm sure this will be needed at some unspecified point in the future", because such points tends to never happen.

YAGNI is so fundamental, there are several closely related concepts to it:

Once upon a time, when Ciro Santilli had a job, he had a programming problem.

A senior developer came over, and rather than trying to run and modify the code like an idiot, which is what Ciro Santilli usually does (see also experimentalism remarks at Section "Ciro Santilli's bad old event memory"), he just stared at the code for about 10 minutes.

We knew that the problem was likely in a particular function, but it was really hard to see why things were going wrong.

After the 10 minutes of examining every line in minute detail, he said:and truly, that was the cause.

And so, Ciro was enlightened.

Basically a synonym for central processing unit nowadays: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/44740/whats-the-difference-between-a-microprocessor-and-a-cpu

Other examples include:

That example calculates and displays the final widths via JavaScript, making it easier to understand the calculations being done.

They appear to be included, with rationale that you can already include syntactically valid crap in an unprovable way: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/320 Better then have syntactically invalid crap that is provable.

The outputs of this transaction seem to be the first syntactically incorrect scripts of the blockchain: blockchain.info/tx/ebc9fa1196a59e192352d76c0f6e73167046b9d37b8302b6bb6968dfd279b767?format=json, found by parsing everything locally. The transaction was made in 2013 for 0.1 BTC, which then became unspendable.

The first invalid script is just e.g. "script":"01", which says will push one byte into the stack, but then ends prematurely.

This is a collection of cool data found in the Bitcoin blockchain using techniques mentioned at: Section "How to extract data from the Bitcoin blockchain". Notably, Ciro Santilli developed his own set of scripts at github.com/cirosantilli/bitcoin-inscription-indexer to find some of this data. This article is based on data analyzed up to around block 831k (February 2024).

When this kind of non-financial data is embedded into a blockchain some people called an "inscription". The study or "early" inscriptions had been called a form of "archaeology"^[ref][ref]. Since this is a collection of archeological artifacts, we call it a "museum"!

One really cool thing about inscriptions is that because blockchains are huge Merkle trees, it is impossible to censor any one inscription without censoring the entire blockchain. It is also really cool to see people treating the Bitcoin blockchain basically like a global social media feed!

Starting on December 2022, ordinal ruleset inscriptions took the bitcoin blockchain by storm, and dwarfed in volume all other previous inscriptions. This museum focuses mostly on non-ordinals, though certain specific ordinal topics that especially interest he curators may be covered, e.g. Ordinal ruleset inscription porn and ordinal ASCII art inscription.

Hidden surprises in the Bitcoin blockchain by Ken Shirriff (2014) is a mandatory precursor to this article and contains the most interesting examples of the time. But much happened since Ken's article which we try to cover. This analysis is also a bit more data oriented through our usage of scripting.

Artifacts can be organized in various ways:In this article we've done a mixture of:Who said it was easy to be a museum curator!
