   My dad used to do this for AT&T (mainly for train derailments if I remember right). As I understood it, he would cut/polish the ends of the glass and glue together. The process may have changed since then, it’s been about a decad

   I think what firebase provides has changed over time. These problematic instances maybe be legacy. And the difficulty of setting up firebase's auth may also have changed over time. Did they always have hosted user/password auth or

   I'm not sure these cases are even using firebase's user authentication - the article is reporting plaintext username/passwords being stored in the databases.

   Datomic basically does the same thing your database does - caching the working set in memory and running the queries. The difference is that with datomic the db is running in your java process rather than on another server. This should ge

   Interesting, that would explain why they ended up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (copper mines).

   Is it always that specific port that fries stuff? (I tend to use it for power out of habit, and can be careful not to use it for anything else going forward.)

    Way back in the day, "DabbleDB" was written in Smalltalk. (It was a Zenkit/Airtable type web app.) If I remember right, they had a separate image per customer and it took a moment to bring up the VM if hadn't been to the

    iPhone security is great, but they had a really embarrassing issue in the backups around iOS 10 - where they were sha hashing the backup password and storing the result in the backup. (This was in addition to the password handling which was

    This isn't the first time they've logged passwords. Back around 2014, I found that they were dumping apple id passwords into one of the log files for iBooks (CVE-2014-1317). It was dumping the request body in hex for a redirected

    I like the idea, but DjVu seems to be very proprietary / single vendor and not in widespread use. This has made me reluctant to use it for archival purposes (vs say PDF, which has its own issues, but feels slightly more future proof to

    It leaks this information if you use the same key for all users. It's not clear that Apple is doing this. There is some benefit to convergent encryption with a different key per user (e.g. you dedup across multiple backups from the sa

    I just saw that pop up on the front page of observablehq. That resolves another pain point for me. (My first experiment with the platform happened to have a lot of math exposition in it.)

    I'm sure it gets the events. It probably has to walk back up the tree to determine if the file is hidden. Dunno how much work it does. I presume it doesn't actually do the metadata extraction from the files. (But my presumption is

    Spotlight ignores hidden directories (e.g. .git) and directories whose names end in .noindex. You can create a file in one with a unique name and try to mdfind it to verify this.

    I worked around the inline math issue by doing: md2 = x => md([x[0].replace(/\$(.*?)\$/g, m => tex([m.slice(1,-1)]).outerHTML)]) I do appreciate you adding support for ${tex`...`}, but it's still a bit more ver

    Thanks. I did old-school origami (step by step guides) back in high school and have been meaning to learn how the newer "crease pattern" based stuff works. This looks like it'd be a useful tool in that pursuit.

    I really like edn. I wish it were more widely used. It hits a sweet spot for me between yaml and json. Yaml is easy to type/read, but I feel it's a bit too complex on the parsing side. And json is a pain to type, so I'm reluc

    Yeah, the thing that irks me is when C-a and C-e don’t work. (Most things support it these days, but I’m afraid it’ll be less prevalent in the coming years as fewer people are familiar with emacs.)

    I often copy first because I'm afraid me locking the database is going to interfere the app. Although, for my Apple Notes extraction, I am hitting the database directly.

    Wikipedia reports "Curcumin constitutes 3.14% (on average) of powdered turmeric"[1]. And the USDA nutrient database reports 1 tbsp ground turmeric weighs 9.4g [2] I think that works out to 0.295g or 295mg per tbsp (on average). [1

    It's also possible to detect input events from accessibility. Little Snitch detects and ignores those events (tested via "Synergy" - a keyboard/mouse sharing application), as does the download icon that appears in the u
