trampion Database Version Control with Liquibase

Wouldn't be a viable solution for an old project I was working on: we had to support different SQL back ends.

Liquibase abstracts it away and allows you to use plain SQL where you need it. Your solution looks simple at first glance, but does not scale very well. For small projects your approach will work, but its an instance of "not invented here".

> Then spends two days fiddling with config files to get it working.

Not really the case in the project I've used liquibase with.

trampion Firefox 80

Which contains an option to collect marketing data, which I had to manually opt out. Mozilla really lost my trust with this one, paired with the recent lay-offs and the re-orientation. I will not recommend Mozilla Firefox anymore, sorry.

trampion Invert, always, invert

Native german speaker here: In this context, I would read "umkehren" as "turn back / turn into the direction where you came from"

trampion Ask HN: How to handle code reviews with a visually impaired coworker?

With a bit of luck, GitLab C-Levels will read this and priorize it. Wouldn't be the first time here.

trampion The Wiki is in French (2011)

While your comment is correct, this would not have prevented the issue stated in the article.

> After determining the source IP of the crawler (one of the admins was experimenting with Nutch as a supplement to the wiki's impoverished search capabilities and had authenticated the crawler using their admin credentials)

The real problem is that a GET request is meant to be side-effect free. A crawler only issuing GET requests should not be able to modify e.g. global settings. Even when using an admin token.

trampion 'One Ring' Phone Scam

Living in Munich, got the first 'Hello, I am from microsoft, please grant me access to your computer'-calls three weeks ago. Blocked the number, scammer tried to call from this number 10 times again while blocked, then tried it on a new phone number. I've blocked the new one after the second call.

trampion Oft-quoted paper on spread of fake news is retracted

> That said, I don't think it's normal for a "software bug" to result in such an egregious error as to require a retraction of the study. I'd like to know why the peer review process failed to detect the problem.

trampion How one-sided objects like a Mobius strip work

as far as I can tell: no, it does not seem to be a Mobius.

Edit: They did change the image. In the last image, they showed a metal surface which wrapped two times and had not the properties of a mobius strip.

Edit 2: found it, the old image was this stock image: https://www.istockphoto.com/de/foto/moebius-streifen-in-meta...

trampion Keeping a plaintext “did” file

Thank you for sharing. It is simple and efficient. I did something like this on a "per-ticket"-basis but did not really thoughtful use it. I will definitely try this again with more focus on putting all necessary/related information in it - I included only a fraction of the relevant information.

trampion ESLint compromised, may have stolen your credentials

Hi! Thank you for posting the script. In the meantime, the script has changed to "//1", see http://pastebin.com/raw/XLeVP82h. Is it possible, that it could have for example leaked ssh keys in the past? Is it possible, to get all revisions of this pastebin?

edit: after researching it on my own, it seems that only administrators can edit pastebins, regular users can not.
