### AI overview

Part 1 examines how reported insider trading, irregularities, settlement issues, and operational design choices in prediction markets can undermine claims about fairness, market integrity, collective intelligence, and truth. It argues that gaps between provider claims and market realities can erode public trust and invite political or regulatory responses.

### Source excerpt

This April, U.S. federal prosecutors charged an Army sergeant with using sensitive classified information to bet on Polymarket that U.S. forces would enter Venezuela and remove Maduro from power. About the same time, Kalshi disclosed that it had fined and suspended three congressional candidates for five years after they traded on prediction markets tied to [...] The post Testing Trust in Prediction Markets | Part 1 appeared first on Sift.

Part 2 examines whether prediction markets can reliably produce trustworthy information. It compares Kalshi's centralized contract resolution with Polymarket's decentralized, oracle-based model and discusses risks involving contract interpretation, voting power, concentrated profits, and market integrity.

### Source excerpt

Missed Part 1? Read it here. Prediction markets make a bold claim that they are engines of truth discovery. Proponents argue that by aggregating collective judgment, prediction markets generate forecasts that are far more valuable than traditional gambling or sports betting. While that claim has merit, a prediction market's output is not merely a well [...] The post Testing Trust in Prediction Markets | Part 2 appeared first on Sift.

## Foreign keys are not overhead, and the thing you measured was a missing index

### AI overview

The article explains that the measured cost of a slow parent delete is usually caused by a missing index on the child table's foreign-key column, not by foreign-key checking itself. It argues that dropping the constraint merely moves referential-integrity enforcement into application code and can allow orphaned records.

### Source excerpt

A foreign key check is an index lookup against a primary key that is almost certainly already in cache, which is close to the cheapest thing a database does. The expensive case people measure is a parent delete with no index on the child's referencing column, which forces a full scan of the child table per deleted row, and that is a missing index rather than a cost of the constraint. Dropping the key does not remove the work, it moves the integrity guarantee into application code where nothing reports when it stops holding.

### AI overview

This tutorial proposes a Feedback-Driven Agent pattern for building self-repairing AI agent workflows. It separates deterministic structural validation from goal-based assessment: agents produce artifacts, programmatic checks identify failures, and structured error reports route the agent toward repair.

### Source excerpt

Every developer building with AI agents eventually hits the same wall. You write a masterpiece of a system prompt, loaded with rules, edge cases, and brand guidelines. It works perfectly... until you add one more rule. Suddenly, the agent gets "context fatigue," ignores half your instructions, and hallucinates a creative but entirely broken solution. We need to stop trying to make agents perfect on the first try. Instead, we suggest a new architectural approach: organizing agentic workflows...

### AI overview

Nix 2.35.0 is released with new features, bug fixes, performance improvements, and a security fix for recursive-nix. A highlighted change makes source copying to the Nix store more lazy, reducing unnecessary work for typical flake evaluations while preserving the evaluator's existing behavior.

### Source excerpt

On behalf of the Nix team, I am pleased to finally announce the release of Nix 2.35.0. This release contains a good number of new features, bugfixes, and performance improvements, and is available at releases.nixos.org. This release also fixes a security issue with recursive-nix: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/security/advisories/GHSA-6h4g-g5j9-fm5f Release Notes Highlights Sources are copied to the store more lazily #3121 #15711 #15920 Historically, flakes source trees have been eagerly fetched to and evaluated from the Nix store to ensure deterministic and hermetic evaluation, even if the resulting store object is not used as a derivation input. This made the implementation simpler, yet made flakes unusable in large repositories and performed unnecessary writes to the store on each change to the source tree. Since Nix 2.32, all I/O (excluding path: and hg+:-style inputs) for reading sources during evaluation has been funneled to their original filesystem location (or to the ~/.cache/nix/tarball-cache-v2 bare git repository for tarball-based inputs). However, the source tree was still fetched to the store - primarily for computing the resulting content-addressed store path. In most cases, (such as importing the nixpkgs package set) this is not necessary. Touching (and hashing the NAR serialisation of) the whole source tree is unavoidable, since: In case of flake inputs, narHash integrity must be checked eagerly. The outPath attribute of a flake must be known in advance, and for backwards compatibility must be a content-addressed store path string with constant string context representing the flake source tree. Even within the constraints imposed by backwards compatibility requirements, there are several improvements that are achievable. To reduce the number of copies performed, Nix now hashes the input without copying first, assuming that the .outPath will not end up in a derivation attribute and thus would never have to be actually fetched to the store. This comes a

### AI overview

The article explains why "strongly typed" is a poorly defined term and examines several possible meanings, including static versus dynamic typing, soundness of static type systems, and runtime type safety. It argues that these properties are not simply yes-or-no and discusses trade-offs and examples from languages including Java, TypeScript, Rust, Lean, JavaScript, Lua, and C.

### Source excerpt

What does it mean when someone writes that a programming language is "strongly typed"? I've known for many years that "strongly typed" is a poorly-defined term. Recently I was prompted on Lobsters to explain why it's hard to understand what someone means when they use the phrase. I came up with more than five meanings! how strong? The various meanings of "strongly typed" are not clearly yes-or-no. Some developers like to argue that these kinds of integrity checks must be completely perfect or else they are entirely worthless. Charitably (it took me a while to think of a polite way to phrase this), that betrays a lack of engineering maturity. Software engineers, like any engineers, have to create working systems from imperfect materials. To do so, we must understand what guarantees we can rely on, where our mistakes can be caught early, where we need to establish processes to catch mistakes, how we can control the consequences of our mistakes, and how to remediate when somethng breaks because of a mistake that wasn't caught. strong how? So, what are the ways that a programming language can be strongly or weakly typed? In what ways are real programming languages "mid"? Statically typed as opposed to dynamically typed? Many languages have a mixture of the two, such as run time polymorphism in OO languages (e.g. Java), or gradual type systems for dynamic languages (e.g. TypeScript). Sound static type system? It's common for static type systems to be deliberately unsound, such as covariant subtyping in arrays or functions (Java, again). Gradual type systems migh have gaping holes for usability reasons (TypeScript, again). And some type systems might be unsound due to bugs. (There are a few of these in Rust.) Unsoundness isn't a disaster, if a programmer won't cause it without being aware of the risk. For example: in Lean you can write "sorry" as a kind of "to do" annotation that deliberately breaks soundness; and Idris 2 has type-in-type so it accepts Girard's paradox. T

### AI overview

This guide explains how Adyen uses HMAC signatures to protect the authenticity and integrity of webhook payloads. It distinguishes payment webhooks, which include the signature in the JSON payload, from other webhooks, which provide it in an HTTP header, and discusses custom validation and Adyen's open-source libraries.

### Source excerpt

By Beppe Catanese, Developer Relations, AdyenImage by authorIntroduction When it comes to payments, security isn't optional -- it's essential. If you're integrating with Adyen, ensuring the incoming webhooks' authenticity and integrity is very important. That's where Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) plays a critical role in securing your Adyen integration. Image by author Implementing, testing, and troubleshooting HMAC validation can be challenging. This guide explains how HMAC validation works, highlights the challenges, and provides tools and best practices for secure and reliable implementation. HMAC at Adyen All Adyen webhooks use HMAC to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the payloads delivered to your integrations. The HMAC key should be enabled when setting up a new webhook (either in the Customer Area Webhook page or using the Management API). Adyen will use the HMAC key to sign the payload by creating an HMAC signature. You must validate the HMAC signature, delivered with the webhook, using the same HMAC key. Adyen webhooks fall into two main categories, each with its approach to HMAC implementation. Let's explore the two scenarios. 1. Payments Webhooks For payments-related webhooks, the calculation of the signature involves using a subset of fields, and it's embedded directly within the JSON payload under the `additionalData` object: { "live":"false", "notificationItems":[ { "NotificationRequestItem":{ "additionalData":{ "hmacSignature":"+JWKfq4ynALK+FFzGgHnp1jSMQJMBJeb87dlph24sXw=" }, ... } } ] }2. Other Webhooks (Adyen for Platforms, Management) For non-payment webhooks, the signature is calculated using the entire JSON payload. Instead of being included in the payload itself, the signature is provided in the HTTP Header `hmacSignature`: content-length: 1614 content-type: application/json hmacsignature: SMQZFOq3oIdugmf97u9TB+5256jjXgUX3MRjK+RlGNQ=Implementing HMAC Validation Developers have two options for implementing HMAC validation:
