Obligatory plug for Atuin, which is a Sqlite-based shell history tool. It logs shell commands alongside timestamps, the working directory, and the return value. You can optionally sync your history to a server in encrypted form to keep a sh

Github is walled and hard to search now too. Not as bad as discord yet, but headed there.

The built-in .backup command is also intended as an official tool for making “snapshotted” versions of a live db that can be copied around.

If you’re not on the bandwagon yet, you should try incorporating some mushroom blocks to speed up the decomposition! It’ll also help to take the moisture retention you’re getting up an additional notch. We’ve got a local grow block recyclin

Since you’re the only other person in this thread to mention it, I’m surprised the industry has been sleeping so hard on QuickJS as a scripting language runtime. I think the lack of batteries-included stdlib is probably the biggest holdup,

Lest anyone take this seriously, these assertions are confidently-misinformed, conspiracy-minded thinking. No asthma medications whatsoever have utility as a chemical masking agent, nor are there any plausible mechanisms for that to happen.

I work in the ICU monitoring field, on the R&D team of a company with live systems at dozens of hospitals and multiple FDA approvals. We use extended Kalman filters (i.e. non-blackbox "ML") to estimate certain lab values of pa

I’ve emailed Dan and received the same response. My suspicions completely mirror yours. I find this line particularly weak: > We can only guess why users flag things It’s not that hard to do some clustering analysis to see if bad-faith a

TIL the Nika riots took place in the Roman colosseum, and the blues and greens cheered as lone individuals from each deme were sent down for slaughter. Yeah, this is hot garbage in terms of accuracy. @Samplank2 - this may hurt to hear, but

This is highly misinformed. There are strict processing requirements, but it is safe and legally permitted in many specific contexts. This page lists some of the processing techniques and statutory requirements: https://en.wikipe

I had that thought too, but my naive rebuttal would be that the column data already exists by default in any standard RDBMS as information_schema.columns. No new record creation required.

Anyone with a legal background willing to opine about potential workarounds to this ruling? Specifically, would a request for “data field labels” (i.e. a column list without any table structure info) likely circumvent the exemption?

Hit CTRL + r (by default) in the atuin menu to toggle the filter mode. Super useful. https://docs.atuin.sh/configuration/config/#filter_mode

Say you’re a blackhat OSINTer trying to steal crypto. You have a first initial and a last name for a target (“J. Smith”) - plus you know this person is on github and discord. You take out your handy email list and run a regex to find candid

The lack of a batteries-included stdlib makes the JS ecosystem exceptionally vulnerable. PyPI is vulnerable to the same class of problems, but it’s an order of magnitude harder to execute a wide-reaching supply chain attack compared to NPM,

They don’t stand for that at all. You should reconsider your LLM use.

That’s entirely understandable - I’ll dive into your profile to read those thoughts. I second the suggestion to have some sort of metathread, stickied comment on hot political threads, or other consolidated way to present your collected tho

I think many users would be willing to hear a long-form version of your take on the subject (maybe in a fresh meta thread for visibility?), but your comment as-is feels like a shallow dismissal of legitimate concerns. You’re not really offe

I fundamentally disagree with the assertion that Python operates at the expense of society. Google is an exploitative monopoly. There’s been plenty of ink spilled on the subject to the point that I feel no obligation to repeat it. While it’

Referring to this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42885476 I don’t personally have a bone to pick with Go mod, save for how the GOPROXY DoS issue was handled.

Yeah - selection bias and apathy is the root of it, IMO. GoDaddy attracts the unwashed masses who don’t care about security, and who remain unphased after learning about breaches. Meanwhile, the tech-savvy crowd who would care about breache

Yeah, I’ve definitely followed that same path as the field has progressed - but I’ve come to view gut health as something akin to soil health. Compost does great things for plants, but you can’t sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi or banana peels on
