It’s a wrong way to look at things. Just because CIA can know your location (if they want to), would you share live location to everyone on the internet?

LLM is a tool, but people still need to know — what where how.

Honestly, FSL doesn't break any flow for day to day developers. What's the harm? I am curious to know. On the contrary I like competitive vs non-competitive distinction.

It can be just anonymised search history in this case.

This article highlights many pitfalls but fails to explain "how to practice heroism effectively".

For instance, a team member might notice a recurring pattern and repeatedly save the SLA by addressing it immediately. While this quick fix is heroic, it should also be escalated for a long-term solution. This way, the hero tackles the immediate issue, and the team ensures that such heroism isn't needed in the future, and so on.

Watch the world burn with vodka in hand. It's much better than doing nothing while you can.

It is same for mobile specifications as well lately, where some countries have different chipset (at same prices!).

Do not believe everything you read on an online forum (including HN). Always do your due diligence.

Yes, stackoverflow.co is the parent to multiple communities and enterprise solution.

Stackoverflow.com is one (most popular/biggest) of them.

While at this, here is the list of all communities (they are quite cool! do browse a few): https://stackexchange.com/sites

New comment by saddist0 in "Common DB schema change mistakes in Postgres"

saddist0 — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 07:27:44 +0000

Another common mistake I have seen: duplicating tables without the indexes.

This is not how it works, period.

    CREATE TABLE  SELECT * FROM  WHERE <>

People do it all the time, either to create a backup table, or deleting data in bulk, etc.

noob question: how does this compare to something like vestacp, which install a lot more and mail (roundcube frontend)? I have been using it since 5 years and always work like a charm, maybe HN give me the reason to move on. :')

It isn't that bad an idea.

Imagine that next time you are drunk, you can hire a driver who will drive you back home remotely (along with some AI to stop the car in case connection goes away).

The difference is striking the balance between developer's speed and performance. In case we don't want to reload everything and run from scratch, it's pretty easy to do with python too. But we "chose" to run it always and quick reload, so the requests aren't too slow [and scalable].

Rest of the things you mentioned are pretty same for Python as well.

I would guess that's due to digital nomad culture, and living in low COL areas.

While I agree and wouldn't use this personally, I do have argument in favor of it.

1) Attack vector reduced to one account which you maintain with healthy hygiene, and hopefully don't use with public systems, etc.

2) You can keep backup 2FA for single account instead of keeping for N accounts.

Yup, agree that attribution might have been more ethical thing to do, even if not required legally.

As far as I understand the author wanted to release it as CC0 after the summer screenings i.e. few months. Due to which the video isn't really available for download on official website.

Anyways, it was a fun read about CC0 after reading your comment. :)
