That's a nice digital content you have there. It would be a shame if something happened to it...

First impressions assuming the goal is to replace the incumbent SQL. Haven't seen the language yet.

I've seen this delay in action when logging in into an old dormant Google account. After I provided correct password (and some other details I remember vaguely - probably no phone number set and some problem with using the TOTP I set up long ago), it sent an email to the linked primary email and waited for a day to give it a chance to abort before logging me in.

The delay is quite a bother but it's surely better than account takeover. What I mind about the process is probably the lack of transparency - what combination of factors (MFA pieces, location, inactive time, ...) launches which process? I get that transparency might help attackers here but they're the ones to have the persistence to figure out the rules anyway. Smells like security through obscurity to me.

I had no idea what traces are in this context. While looking, I found this post from @OpenRouter:

The practical concern of Linux developers regarding responsibility is not being able to ban the author, it's that the author should take ongoing care for his contribution.

Huh, I guessed all correct. Random guess would have a 1/(2^5) = 1/32 chance of being correct.

I don't make any claim to any special hearing or expertise. I've been listening to practically only lossy music since around '98, ripping from CDs at that time.

Morricone and Vangelis have been especially hard for me to tell apart, could have been a random guess on my part (I listened to those ~20 times).

When I read the title I expected to hear the actual _difference_ between the lossless and lossy waveform - i.e. only the actual artifacts. Could be a fun exercise.

Not an objection, you're fully within your rights to invent a license, just remember that a license with such clause would not be an open source license as per the Open Source Definition [1].

  6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

  The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

There's also 5. which probably isn't relevant here but possibly might depending on the definition of person (e.g. a legal person).

  5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

  The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

And then there's the obvious aspect of AI foundries blatantly ignoring copyright anyway (copyright law grants the the author the rights which he then gives away by way of a license).

The normalization of identity verification to use internet services is itself a problem. It's described much better than I could by EFF here:

Honest question/thought - at this point where we have all HTTP requests for a site just redirecting everything to HTTPS, we use HSTS and browsers default to trying https when scheme is not given, why don't we just stop serving on port 80 altogether? Why even bother with HSTS?

The good: Nice exercises for beginners. Tab-completion, accepts readline characters like ctrl-u.

The bad: You don't see the (wrong) output if you don't get it right the first time, making it hard to work iteratively and having to guess what the question actually intended.

E.g. 'Seven files that start with "Santa"' actually wants file names that start with Santa, after some questions that had you use "grep" to search file contents. Where I actually struggled with what's expected is Day 11.

The ugly: Actually a very nice design.

This is in my area of interest. Can you recommend any related tools/resources? Did you publish any code?

Exactly. The best they came up with is a generated subject-like summary. So many options to explore here. Categorization by topic, by date, by customer account, clustering by topic, search with various ranking options, conversation(s) tree view, histogram per date/topic/account, integration with email, with an issue tracker, various states per chat/thread e.g. resolved/ongoing/non-viable, a knowledge bank to quickly save stuff you learned (code snippets, commands, facts), integration with Notion or a wiki etc etc. Just off the top of my head.

I was told there would be rapid prototyping with AI. Haven't seen any of the above.

You don't? I do.

A few days ago I lost some data including recent code changes. Today I'm trying to recreate the same code changes - i.e. work I've just recently worked through - and for the life of me I can't get it to work the same way again. Even though "just" that is what I set out to do in the first place - no improvements, just to do the same thing over again.
