This shit is amazing! Thanks.

True, thought I didn't include the lookup first, it is how it happens in practice. Also, we use the mysql client, so semicolon is a must, and I would avoid anything that let you su…

I was taught to: 1. Write your WHERE clause first 2. Return to the beginning of the line to finish writing the statement 3. Check your statement 4. If it looks good, then -- and on…

Oh, if anyone does care about this, the browser console is throwing this out now: The resource was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds from the window's …

Also, as a side note, another interesting find is the idea of recursive prompting. I had it spitting out some interesting code in Javascript based on dental x-ray analysis, and onc…

I was using chatGPT to generate geography dissertation ideas, and the conversation was not heading in the direction I wanted, so I said, "forget all of my previous conversation." I…

Having said that, I write a lot of JS / Node. When you npm (a package manager for NodeJS) install something there could very well be some curl commands piping to bash or sh. Makes …

Seems like the best solution is to not use this technique. Been touching linux servers for 10+ years, and have never had to use it. I definitely used it when learning linux though.…

Look up the actual definition of "proprietary". If a company owns it, it's proprietary...even open source software. Open source software can cost money, and still be open source...…

CentOS still exists, and is now owned by Red Hat. Originally, CentOS was meant to be the community ("free") version of RHEL, yet after Red Hat took it over it has since become a mi…

RHEL is not free, but the word "free" is loosely defined in open source world. RHEL is open source, yet it is also proprietary. Yes, if you wanted to build from source you can, for…

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You are kind of combining two things though: legacy systems, and proprietary systems. There are modern proprietary systems as well. RHEL is a good …

I'd argue this is one of the last things people will be thinking about in this election. No one is changing their vote over this...the economy and abortion will drive this cycle.

You're probably thinking: If they can't transfer them, why did they show up the first time? That's a good question...

I don't even want to submit anything to Hacker News, but I don't know where else to post this. Epic Games' customer support is lacking. The Epic Games website allows you to log in …

Up the stakes and mount your home NAS

We've been using fpsync ( http://www.fpart.org/fpsync/ ) to backup our production NAS. It is basically a scheduler wrapped around rsync. We use some 10g NICs for internal backups..…

Money talks. Google is not going to change. They are a public corporation whose ultimate motive is profit. Stop giving money to those corporations whose business model you disagree…

There are now Quantum Random Number Generators on the market. I've seen hardware ones that use PCIe. Here's a university that apparently is now providing a qrng service for free wi…

I'd imagine it's hard to prove randomness. Yes, HHHHHHHHHH can be chosen randomly as equally as HHTHTHTTTH. I don't remember seeing anything in the article speaking to the statisti…

Sheesh, what we call science these days... What ever happened to data, experimentation and rigor? What is science without subscribing to the scientific method?

That tweet is ridiculous. The World Wide Web was created for one purpose only...serve formatted documents across a network for scientists. Using !important beyond it's intended pur…

Gnome comes stock with RHEL, so I'm not bothered to use other desktops as most of my time is spent in the terminal. I did get into some of the minimalist desktops at some point to …

People will complain about your project, and then use SciHub next time they need to reference a paper. I like it!

Use Brave, it's Chrome without the cruft, and you probably won't need ublock anymore as it has built-in ad blocking.
