skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
In fact, you can apply as a Github "secret scanning partner" to have your own secret's format (regexp) be a part of this secret scanning, with a webhook to your servers whenever they find one, so that you can do the credential-invalidation on your own backend + send the kindly-worded email from your own domain.

Mind you, your secrets need to have a distinctive format in order for this to work. Probably a distinctive prefix is enough.

An Unethical Life Pro-Tip (that the word is already out on anyway, so I don't feel too bad):

• The content of Github public repos is all continuously loaded (by Github themselves) as a public dataset into BigQuery — https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/github/....

• For about $500, you can use BigQuery to extract all matches of a particular regexp, from every file, in every commit, in every public Github repo.

Whether or not Github themselves use this to power their secret scanning, arbitrary third parties (benevolent or not) certainly can use it for such. And likely already do.
What is the difference between a runtime and an interpreter? I still believe forth is interpreted. Forth uses a small set of functions in assembly as its runtime/interpeter.

Your quote looks like its about bootstrapping the Forth ecosystem. After writing fetch and store operations in native assembly, you can bootstrap the forth system that is logical. This is the way Chuck Moore first used Forth anyways. He had no interpreter/compiler back than, he wrote some functions to aid him circumvent assembly and make his code portable. It is genius, but I think it's still interpreted.

You can compile python to bytecode and run it in python's vm, does this mean your python code is compiled. IMHO no, it is compiled for the python vm and python vm interprets it. Same thing applies to Forth.

Forth is interpreted, even if you compile and package it in a standalone executable binary.
Matt was even portrayed in The Social Network.
On one hand, I think this kind of service can help people expand their vocabularies.

On the other hand, there's a downside risk of replacing unimaginative writing with confused writing. "very + fragile -> feeble" is absolutely not a reliable translation[1]. The suggestions furnished by this service seem to generally 'work' in the sense that their possible meanings include "very + (category)," but without context you explode the set of messages you might communicate. Something that is fragile breaks easily. Something that is very fragile more so. Something that is feeble is lacking strength in general, it may give out at any time, it connotes a sense of being underweight, etc. All concepts that "very fragile" may be hoping to avoid invoking (however clumsily).

Switching words switches meanings.

[1] One might argue that 'fragile' does not need assistance at all in this case.
i want to warn against "criminalizing" things we dont like. if someone ignores signage about smoking, sure you can shoo them away, maybe bar them from returning. But "nuisance crime" laws often result in marginalized people being harrassed by law enforcement for harmless activity or wrongfully accused of activity. Not everything you dont like should be enforced by cops
It definitely means a well organized militia, like the ones they use to defend Switzerland, which every male belongs to and has to go through a year or two of conscription before they take a gun home.
DirectDraw has been deprecated for a long time, but it's still there, and it still works. I regularly run games using it on Win11, e.g. https://triumph.net/ageofwonders (1999)
One reason is because "very + <adjective>" often only vaguely approximates what the writer means. "Very good" has such a wide range of interpretations that it almost has no meaning. If I tell you I went to a "very good" restaurant, then how was my experience? Was it above average? A step beyond merely acceptable? Best restaurant ever?

Alternatively, saying that "I went to a marvelous restaurant" better indicates that my experience was exceptional.
That's...not entirely accurate.

For the actual damages section, I agree, a juries responsible is to determine the, well, actual economic harm that's befallen a person.

However, juries are also tasked with awarding punitive damages, and for this the juries responsibility is literally to determine the appropriate amount to teach someone a lesson. That's literally what punitive damages are intended for.
Tech is pretty different in that its whole point is automation and reduction of redundancies. I would imagine over time there wouldn’t be a need for a mediocre engineers as their jobs would just be done by code written one time by a superior engineer.

Pushing out breaking changes without telling your customers also gets explained by there not being any (or many since these folks found it) users.

"Very old" is still rude. Seems roughly equivalent to me.
I'm going to make an out there prediction. It works, but its expensive and demands a lot of technology which people like santos, bechtel, schlumberger are absolute EXPERTS at supplying in a cost+ government project with no penalty clauses.

I'm going to make a second prediction. It wont work as well as moving out of the industrial processes into newer ones which don't exacerbate the problem, it's just that the money flows won't help the people who have the ear of the WH on this.

And a third one. it will have serious downsides. things which we didn't think of which are exceptionally hard to remediate at scale once we've put the material up there in volume.

This isn't really predictive. Its actually not that far removed from what the other commentors say Neal Stephenson said anyway.

Accuracy and precision is sometimes vital, but modifying words with very is frequently a good way of achieving that.

"I want a fast game", "I want a very fast game". This site suggests "rapid", "breakneck", and "dashing" as alternatives for "very fast". "Very fast" is pretty clear very precise compared to those words. Maybe I could speak about "a breakneck pace" instead, but would I have really gained anything other than showing off my vocabulary?

Speaking of very precise, it doesn't even have a suggestion for an alternative to that - though admittedly if I wasn't forcing things I would have phrased that sentence as "more precise than those words".
I ran a few words through and I am not willing to buy into the elimination of very.

As noted (very or not) unique and incomparable are not the same. These words have nuanced differences.

Every word I checked failed to provide the a proper equivalent. Context matters.

very hard is not always demanding

very clean =/= sparkling

very old =/= ancient

very dark =/= bleak

You have to use a lot of judgment to pare these down, or you'll do more harm than good.

"District of Columbia v. Heller" was in 2008, and was the first time the Supreme court ruled that the 2nd amendment allowed the right to bear arms outside of a well organized militia. In fact, they had 4 chances to to do that in the early 20th century alone, passing on it. It was only with a more conservative court that existed recently that the interpretation that the militia clause of the 2nd amendment was just flavor case became law of the land.

Why is it so difficult to design digital baseband (e.g., LTE) chips?
The LTE digital baseband market was famously dominated by Qualcomm, which maintained a 60+% market share for nearly a decade (2009-2019). MediaTek also successfully entered the market, but not for high end phones for high-income markets (U.S., Europe, etc.). Famously, both Intel and Broadcom (two semiconductor firms known for their ability to design successful chips in other markets, e.g., MPUs, cable modem chips, WiFi chips, Bluetooth chips, etc.) attempted to enter the market and failed. Broadcom exited the market and wound down their LTE business unit. Intel sold its group to Apple, which now has gone on to fail to develop a 5g digital baseband solution (Apple continues to use Qualcomm for its 5g digital baseband solution).

Why (from an engineering perspective) is it so difficult to develop an advanced LTE (or 5G) digital baseband chip such that even semiconductor powerhouses like Intel and Broadcom have struggled to develop solutions which compare to Qualcomm's offerings?

Note - answers from semiconductor design engineers appreciated :)
Yup, a single dev can build out a massive business via severless cloud components in what used to take a large army of engineers.

It just so happens job growth has historically exceeded efficiency gains. The equilibrium point seems close from my perspective, especially if there’s a shock of recession to hammer tech employment

"very rude" is turned into "ill-mannered". I would say the second one is softer (very soft actually) than "rude".

For many of them, looking into multiple dictionaries it appears that they are synonymous of the word, rather than a stronger meaning.
Mark Twain supposedly said:

Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very'. Your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
Top proactive security feature of the year, for me. Nice stuff.
Very works but it's missing out on an opportunity to give more detail.

Most of the adjectives in this app have multiple alternatives, one of which is likely closer to what you're trying to represent.

Or to put it another way: concepts like "smartness" are complicated and multidimensional. Someone who is "very smart" could be: good at their job, naturally intelligent, built up knowledge though experience and hard work, street-smart, smarter than average, smartest person in the world ever etc.

I wouldn't say there's always a better single word alternative to "very adjective" but it's worth thinking about when writing (and probably not worth thinking about in everyday speech!).
I totally understand and sympathize with that feeling which is not uncommon here on Hacker News, but when I speak to the average internet user they do care about privacy, they just don't have the same anxiety over cloud services. We are following a similar path to Notion or Paper who have millions of users who trust that their data is secure, private, and accessible.

Also many features like realtime live collaboration are incredibly difficult to do with a local-first setup, but provides a user experience that lets Visible pages be useful for families, friends, and communities.

We do want to make your data fully available to you via export, and we don't view or use the data in your pages for anything. We have basic event-based analytics to see how people (anonymously) use Visible, but that's just at the level of button clicks and seeing how many pages people create on average.

This is missing an important factor for writing: context. There are many places where it's fine to wax lyrical and reach for the thesaurus. But if you're trying to write clearly and concisely then there is something to be said for simplicity.
Just because you can surmise as to the obvious ways in which writing this post might generally serve the interests of the author or the company behind does not, in itself, establish that the piece is flimsy. Your comment, on the other hand, with its baseless assertion and borderline ad hominem IS flimsy. Be better.

I had covid 6 months ago and it lasted 2.5 months.

But it was partially psychological: whether that partial was 10% or 50% or 80%, you can judge.

The acute phase lasted two weeks. I had a very strong mix of what was a bad cold and allergy symptoms, progressing to a dry cough from a very bad wet cough. I also had dizziness, forgetfulness, and at one point everything in the world smelled of orange for a week. I had terrible, terrible health care, I was given steroids that spiked my resting heart rate to 110-120 (normally 55-60), told nonsense advice ranging from "it's just a cold" to "here's a Z-PAC in case it gets worse" (I never took it), and of course I never qualified for the antivirals for reasons best left not mentioned here without causing a political argument, the part that makes me the angriest of all.

Anyway, after that for two months I had shortness of breath, strange sleep issues, dizziness, and chest tightness. I went to see a lung specialist in a long covid specialty part of a famous hospital chain in the first two weeks of that period. I was told I was at risk for mitochondrial dysfunction, that I should never do strength training again, that some of the other patients became crippled after one year. That POTS was a risk, etc. That athletes have the highest risk for permanent disablement from long covid.

I became distraught, and during this time had some of the darkest thoughts of my life. Can't exercise? Risk for POTS? Disabled? That's it for me. I had dark circles under my eyes and fell into a sort of depression. Dysautonomia is the generalized name for the disorder. Anxiety was triggered, and it played its role.

I remember I'd taken an Uber at one point who told me that the vaccine gave him symptoms, and he described all the same stuff as me: shortness of breath, waking up at night sweating randomly, dizziness. He was wide-eyed as I explained long covid / dysautonomia. He had had covid prior to the vaccine, and I told him that was the cause.

Then one day I went back to the specialist and I brought with me a printout of an endoscopy I'd done a few months prior that showed esophageal inflammation and a GERD diagnosis. I also had a detailed printout of exercise attempts, and notes and dates for what I experienced that night, the next day and the day after, rating the shortness of breath, sleep disturbances, etc. I did a stress test with a cardiologist that showed I was exceeding the markers at every level, was cleared. After that both cleared me for exercise.

Overnight my mood change, my physical body felt more healed, and I went full speed ahead in revamping my exercise regimen.

Literally everything was fine, then.

Well. This weekend I was exposed to covid and today, day 4, I'm testing negative but experiencing some cold symptoms and some chest congestion.

How much of the above is in my head versus actual is open to debate. I honestly don't know the answer.

But sometimes I wonder, if no one ever told me anything about covid, and ignorance were bliss, how much healthier I'd probably be and how much better the last six months would have been!
Good to see that the third most important scientific computing language is getting some TLC
My experience is that 99% of the people who hate Atlas Shrugged never read the book, they just heard that the people they hate like it, so they hate it.

I don't even really understand why people map it onto politics in the way they do. It seems to me fundamentally a story about people trying to accomplish something big, innovative and disruptive but being stymied by the various forces who resist or fear change, whether because they're profiting from the status quo or they're lazy or ignorant or entitled or whatever.

Like one of the central set of "bad guys" are the rival owners of other railroad companies, who are trying to maintain their monopoly/cartel. Another set of "bad guys" are the privileged family members who expect to have wealth and power by birthright. I don't see why a person who had left or far left political views wouldn't resonate with the protagonists struggles against these various entrenched, privileged rent seekers.
It's risk shifting.

GM has almost certainly forced some subcontractor to bear the risk of holding the required inventory for the legally required repair period. That subcontractor worked out the cost per item to be able to do this--especially for something qualified as a safety system.

This price has very little to do with material cost and everything to do with outsourcing.

When emphasising language becomes habitual, it's intended impact may actually be lessened, by way of the "boy crying wolf" effect. That is, if everything is described as "very" and "really" and "actually", then those emphasisers no longer stand out. We start to ignore them, and the collective energy spent writing them is somewhat wasted.

So I say: let a standalone word suffice, whenever possible. Save emphasis for appropriate moments.

And I would mostly agree so long as you're the only one who has access to said data. There will always be "ISPs", of sorts, that your data needs to pass through; that's simply how the internet works.

The nitpick about Cloudflare is that they are starting to act as a gateway to the internet. Maybe you can turn their fronting off if they start giving you trouble, or maybe your registrar also runs behind Cloudflare. Anyway, bit of a philosophical discussion how much power to vest in one company.

The real trouble is that their main offering involves giving them the private keys to your traffic. I don't know if that's also the case with this Tunnel product, but at least for regular websites, then they process your actual data, as with the bank example (a colleague at said bank was not happy).
