derimagiaon K-Cup creator John Sylvan regrets inventing Keurig coffee pod system

I usually use a compostable single-use kcup: http://a.co/d/4eWshVr

The Github Readme says to consult the blog post for more info: https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail...

derimagiaon Show HN: Lipreading with Deep Learning

I didn't take a deep dive of the code but in order to train it's going to need to be fed audio files with the actual video/mouth shapes/etc. Essentially it needs it to tell the reward to give back (if it was right). Once it "learns" it wouldn't need the audio file.

It's one of those things that is incredibly useful. Of course it's possible to survive without it, but it's like saying "I don't know how people program without Copy and Paste". It helps.

derimagia on Facebook Secretly Saved Videos Users Deleted

A lot of reasons, here's a simple example: If you have a "product" which had a CRUD interface to make and users who add it to the card, deleting it would cause relationships to fail - as in if users who already purchased the item or added it to their cart would no longer be able to see it.

https://github.com/saulpw/visidata/issues/93 looks like it wasn't implemented correctly ti begin with. Sad that it wasn't fix though.

derimagia on Cockpit – Administer Linux servers via a web browser

Sounds like a lie to me.
The web server can also be run from the cockpit/ws docker container. If you are running cockpit on an Atomic Host this will be the default. In this setup, cockpit establishes an SSH connection from the container to the underlying host, meaning that it is up to your SSH server to grant access. To login with a local account, sshd will need to be configured to allow password based authentication. Alternatively you can setup a Kerberos based SSO solution.
AKA, it is up to your SSH server to grant access to the container.

derimagia on Show HN: Online web tools to get your work done faster

Online tools that minify and touch code always scare me. It would be so easy for them to put stuff in there, like a crypto miner for example.
