I see people are doing scripts or other things to remove shorts from their feeds, but there is a simpler solution. Take your RSS URL of a channel, e.g.:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9B...

Replace the `channel_id` with `playlist_id` and replace `UC` with `UULF`. This prefix will only list normal videos:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULFxSG...

No one knows how many vulnerabilities there are in closed source medical record software - because we can't check. There are _probably_ loads though, because that medical software is super terrible in every way that we _can_ check.

Before. I could, probably, now get an LLM to refactor everything to be inside the statechart - but I'm not sure if I actually want that.

I've tried to use state charts for frontend development a couple of times, but bounced off. IIRC, I was using xstate with vue, and I found that they were hard to retrofit to existing systems, and where I tried, I found that the boundary between the part of the system controlled by xstate and the rest of the system problematic. It felt like it would work better with everything "inside" the statechart, but that's a big lift for an existing codebase.

Recent Claude will just look at your code and copy what you've been doing, mostly, in an existing codebase - without being asked. In a new codebase, you can just ask it to "be conscice, keep it simple" or something.

There are a bunch of libraries that will do this - here's one example of a python one: https://github.com/yuce/pyswip - and a ruby one: https://github.com/preston/ruby-prolog

Interesting! There are ~2 starlink satellites re-entering the atmosphere _every day_ now - and this is only set to increase. I wonder if this was caused by starlink debris?

You can still do this, it all still works, technically. You will have a spam/malware/security issues that wouldn't have been an issue back in the day. You will also have discoverability issues - but that hasn't actually changed, if it's just for you or your friends.

The store in the case of pass, is a plain text file, whose contents are encrypted strings. If you trust the encryption, you can put it anywhere you like. Keep the keys secret and safe, though!

Hi Alan,

You've said here a few times here that maybe "data" (in quotes), is a bad idea. Clearly data itself isn't a bad idea, it's just data. What do you mean by the quotes? That the way we think about data in programming is bad? In what context?

I've been thinking & reading about Data Flow programming & languages - datalog, lucid, deadalus/bloom etc... in the context of big data & distributed systems and the work that Chris Granger has been doing on Eve, the BOOM lab at Berkeley, etc... - and that seems like a lot of really good ideas.

What's your opinion on data flow/temporal logic - and how does that square with "maybe data is a bad idea"?

Thanks!

Dunc
