I’m writing a script that scrolls through the site, scrapes the UUIDs, and stores them in an AWS S3 bucket. I’ll let you know when it finishes.

Why wouldn't IPv6 compress well? IPv6 is used internally a lot more than externally, so I would expect to see a LOT of commonality in the network ID fraction of the addresses- essentially all the bits of representing your IPv6 network

All the LZ variants work well on logs, but I had the best luck so far with zstd. YMMV.

Was going to point out the same thing - the original article's solution is losing timestamps and possibly ordering. They also are losing some compressibility by converting to a structured format (JSON). And if they actually include a

AWS’ Route 53 API is awful. I wrote a Python CLI app around it that is very intuitive for simple DNS tasks like managing RR’s and scheduling with cron to DIY dynamic DNS: https://github.com/ericfitz/r53 implement DIY

I really don’t like this idea if you are sharing this code base with anyone else. I work in one of the magnificent seven and the culture here is codename crazy. Everything has code names, of course: every project, every release of every pr

Copyright and patent are legal privileges (specifically a time limited monopoly on a work or invention), not natural rights. The US Constitution proposes them as a way to “promote progress in the useful arts” and specifically calls out thei

Dear Intel Executive Search Team, Hi! CEOing has always been a hobby of mine, but with the recent news, I thought this would be a great opportunity for us to synergize. Sure, I don’t have much experience in the chip making world but I did

I thought this was an interesting read. Key takeaways: 1. Spending a career building computer software around others who build software, influences your worldview. 2. Programming is a skill (like any kind of craftsmanship or performance art

Getting your CA into a trust store means that every machine using that trust store will accept your certs. It’s not really necessary for a government or corporation to have a public CA in anyone’s trust store unless they want to issue cert

Windows CA program is governed by requirements like any other CA. Microsoft has ways to provision machines with enterprise CA roots so there is no advantage, and highly visible disadvantage, to adding a noncompliant CA to your trust store.

The problem is not capitalism, it’s corporatism. Or more precisely, it is that we allow a group of people, under the control of a single person or very small number of people, amass incredible power, and do so in an amoral framework in blin

I would trust AI a lot more if it gave answers more like: “Source A on date 1 said XYX” “Source B …” “Synthesizing these, it seems that the majority opinion is X but Y is also a commonly held opinion.” Instead of what it does now, whi

This is a great idea- I hope that you are wildly successful. I’m an AI skeptic mostly because I see people rushing to connect unreasoning LLMs to real things and as a result cause lots of problems for humans. I love the idea of human-in-the

Or, who could bust in your door with a dozen SWAT team members at 5am some morning and drag your family out into the front yard in their pajamas, terrified, making them sit for hours. All because you tried to do the right thing.

IANAL but self-reporting would not likely benefit you; I would try to be as ignorant as possible about the wood type and its source. Knowing and not reporting might also be a crime. Unfortunately much of the US federal bureaucracy is more
