This is at least part of what Harold Finch was trying to prevent with his Machine in (Person of Interest)[0]. Having it have access to all of the data was bad enough, but being able to ask it any question you wanted was always a terrifying proposition. Especially if you then consider what happens when that AI starts doing things on it's own (see Samaritan from the same show).

Not exactly what you're asking for, but [Ecologi](https://ecologi.com/) is doing lots of work on the tree-planting front, but also doing other work that helps with climate change, like solar panel setups in Morocco, wind farms in the US, methane emissions in Brazil, and more.

We used to do two week on-call rotations (to follow along with sprint/release cadence). At the beginning of '23, one of our devs asked to be full-time on-call, both because they had sleep issues and so would regularly be awake at 2 am, but also because they didn't like that the other team members wouldn't follow the documented processes.

They don't get paid extra, but they seem to be very happy with the setup.

php deals with this by using the username/organization name of a repository as the namespace name of packages. At least then you're having to squat something further up the food chain.

I'm curious about some specifics of why you wouldn't use PHP for _critical_ web infrastructure?

At some point, a bigger computer either doesn't exist or is too cost prohibitive to get. But getting lots of "small" computers is somewhat easier.

You're not. Though on a recent vacation, one of my kids only had access to cable and absolutely loved the randomness of what was available.

The context was the silent-ness of I vs H, not what rolls off the tongue. I agree that I Pyle rolls better, though.

Isn't that the same with I-Beam as well?

I started worrying about the `+` address functionality as well, so I set up postfix aliases with `me.%@domain` (I use postgres for domains/aliases/accounts) and then have my virtual_alias_map run the query `SELECT a1.goto FROM alias a1 LEFT JOIN alias a2 on (a2.address = '%s') WHERE '%s' = a1.address OR ('%s' LIKE a1.address AND a1.active = true AND a2.address IS NULL)` - I know have `.` address functionality and can do the same functionality. It's much more common for email addresses to have `.` in them, so its' less likely to trigger alarm bells.

Wikipedia doesn't show him as deceased as of this writing, so I'm inclined to believe that. Multiple news sources report him recovering from a stroke in Brazil, though.

Even knowing what the R in RNN stands for requires some pre-existing knowledge of neural networks. Which isn't something that's helping _me_ learn about them, particularly.

Having never heard of AltTab, I looked it up. I'm still not sure what it does that Cmd+Tab doesn't do.

This seems like it might be interesting to me if I already had some understanding of neural networks. Unfortunately for me, I can't even complete the RNN because there's nothing to even suggest what I'm missing when I connect the dots in the only way that the UI suggests I can.

I've been using neovide for a few months now, and my biggest gripe is that there's not an easy way to automagically open a new file in an existing neovide window as a tab. With macvim I could do `--remote-tab-silent` and it was handled, but neovide seems to want me to use some kind of background server and a bunch of other hoops to jump through.

Something I always wonder about when Voyager has these issues is this: how long would it take for a probe launched today to catch up to Voyager? I assume there are better engines now, better capability for payload launch, better fuels, etc. I then wonder how long it would take to get that probe ready to be launched assuming that it was given the green light.

I'll give you the one that matters to me: in MySQL, you can't do DDL statements (create table, alter table, etc) inside a transaction. MySQL will implicitly commit after each DDL statement.

As a US developer for nearly 25 years, I've never heard this term used in business context. I'd call them a graduate as well.

Is that new? Because SpaceX has streamed launches on YouTube for years.

Having never heard of Ultra Librarian, I thought this was somehow related to https://justgetflux.com/ and that they'd made a switch from doing color changing to hardware.

Many of those buttons look like they'd be horrible to actually use. They give you same sized arrow keys, but tiny tilde/right brace/slash? I can see I wouldn't be doing much development on it.

I did something like this nearly 15 years ago at a job. I was trying to use something like MySQL Workbench to export the database and generate a map of connections through foreign keys. Apparently I selected some option backwards and it deleted out the entire production database.

Luckily for me I'd been working on some other things related to it and had taken a backup not long prior, but it was pretty nerve wracking to hear the CTO/CEO nearly running through the halls to find out what had happened.

Pretty sure they never implemented more stringent access controls at that company, either.

Pretty sure that this is the database that Jon Gjengset[0] was working on as part of his thesis project. There have been several videos shared by him during talks about the system. It's a really interesting concept.

edit: Here's[1] a video where he talks about the concept

But in a plane the background isn't moving... it's the inside of the plane, which is always stationary at least with regards to the passenger. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you shouldn't need that even on planes.

Any information you'd be willing to share around this would be great! I'm looking to do something similar.

I wrote about using fail2ban with postfix[0] almost 15 years ago for blocking IPs that were sending to unknown email addresses on my server. It was a godsend for blocking tons of spam back then.

That's a lot of data that you're not paying for...

Link? I'd be interested in reading about this.

I've never had a problem using 1Password 7 on updated versions of OSX. I'm in the same boat, and am still using 1Password 7 on Ventura after having upgraded through multiple OSs.

Enough money allows all contracts to be negotiable.
