pimpl··on GitHub is down again
What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.
pimpl··on GNU Parallel, where have you been all my life?
Having a layer of parallelisation on top of good old sequential code seems like a very neat idea. It resolves headaches of learning how to run code in parallel in languages that aren’t necessarily my primary language (e.g. short, one-off scripts). Thanks for sharing!!
pimpl··on tRPC – Build and consume typesafe APIs without schemas or code generation
I think patterns and best practices are still yet to be figured out. I believe you can create caller in a server component and it should work (https://trpc.io/docs/server/server-side-calls#create-caller), but the pages router appears to be a battle-tested solution.
pimpl··on tRPC – Build and consume typesafe APIs without schemas or code generation
I've used tRPC and Next.js for a couple of personal projects and it's been a great experience. Hard to beat on iteration speed, especially when used with a pre-configured template like Create T3 App: https://create.t3.gg/.
pimpl··on The underground world of credit card network exploitation
No worries at all! I agree that there's probably lots of people blindly copying and running code from LLMs without any reflection. Just like it often happened with StackOverflow snippets before ChatGPT (to the point it became a meme). I'm definitely not one of them.

Author here. My intention was to show that you can use it to help you get going quickly for a very practical, one-off, and self-contained use cases. As I mentioned in other comments already, I did not trust it blindly and did not share any sensitive data with it. Definitely not an ad!

Appreciate the comment! Just a quick note that this is my LI profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pmierzejewski/
pimpl··on The underground world of credit card network exploitation
Really interesting, thanks for sharing!
pimpl··on The underground world of credit card network exploitation
I'd estimate it that it saved me a couple of hours tops. They were simple, self-contained scripts with at most 150 LOC.
pimpl··on The underground world of credit card network exploitation
100% agreed, this is how I always treat it and working on the problem from the article was not an exception from this rule. I share minimum input, and never trust the output blindly.

It gets 50-60% of work done, and a really good basis for me to work on it. Especially when working with one-off, end-to-end relatively short scripts.

Author here. GPT only got minimal context it needed to run the prompt. No customer data, no IDs, definitely no API keys were passed as a prompt.

Article author here. Really valuable stuff, thanks for sharing!

Do you handle this for Mastercard in any way? I've heard of Ethoca (they are really good at SEO), it seems quite similar to Verifi.

Article author here. I carefully reviewed and tested the ChatGPT scripts before executing them. It helped me save a lot of time manually writing these scripts!

I wouldn't say I lack technical expertise in this area, I'm just trying to use my time as efficiently as possible.

pimpl··on Uber Driver Tip-Hustling Schemes
is this a black mirror episode quotes?
pimpl··on Couchdrop – Secure cloud upload server
This looks like a really good idea! The only thing is that I’d rather not give it full Dropbox access.
pimpl··on How Much Polish Is There in Yiddish (and How Much Yidddish Is There in Polish)?
I’d never consider it Yiddish influence to be honest.
pimpl··on Microsoft Edge's JavaScript engine to go open-source
I had similar problems using Google Docs on Safari too, so I think it’s just a bug on Google’s side.
pimpl··on Writing code doesn't mix well with oration
Even this one? https://vimeo.com/105955605 :)
pimpl··on Randexp.js: Create random strings that match a given regular expression
Do you think it’s safe to generate ticket numbers with such tools? I'm currently this PHP lib to do it: https://github.com/icomefromthenet/ReverseRegex and since we do not sell thousands of tickets a day I think it should be okay to use it for this purpose. What do you think?
pimpl··on Standing Desks – Save your back, change your life
I've been using this one in the office for some time and it's really comfortable and visually pleasing as well: http://biurkobiurko.com/
pimpl··on Famous Engine – JavaScript library for animations and interfaces
What do you mean by limiting my framework?

Yeah, true, I don’t create any objects in that animation actually. I just do opacity animations (from 0 to 1 and vice versa) and some transforms sometimes (which are supposed to be 'cheap' according to some resources on the internet).

pimpl··on Famous Engine – JavaScript library for animations and interfaces
Has anyone actually managed to loop animations on the web without putting the CPU on fire?

It was my task recently to optimize some animations (done with Web Animations polyfill) and even though all the profilers showed that CPU is doing almost nothing (GPU animated all the stuff) Chrome was using ~25% of CPU all the time which resulted in a noisy fan after a minute or two.

I feel like I’m missing something here, I believe there must be a way to do it…

pimpl··on Show HN: Pubmail.io
Looks like a really cool idea!

What’s your stack? It spoke Polish to me on your login page because of my IP :)

pimpl··on Show HN: Fiddle.md – a collaborative writing tool by Swipe
Hey, I'm one of the people behind Fiddle.md. I think your example works very well, what do you feel is missing?
pimpl··on Show HN: Fiddle.md – a collaborative writing tool by Swipe
Yeah, we need to add some styles for tables. Thanks!
pimpl··on Show HN: Fiddle.md – a collaborative writing tool by Swipe
It’s a bug we failed to spot, but it does look interesting ;)

We use marked - https://github.com/chjj/marked - with some slight modifications.
pimpl··on This website has a lot of unclosed h3 tags
This is an art.
pimpl··on Alleged Mt.Gox code leaked on IRC node by Russian Hacker
