user: hello company, i would like to access your main product, you know, the one people come to you for, the main thing

company: HAVE YOU HEARD OF A I

During lunch a friend mentioned that you can just supply a HTTP URL to vim on the command line and it would use curl to download that resource and allow you to edit the content. I jokingly asked whether if you enter :w it would then issue a HTTP POST back to the origin which is of course ridiculous.

It issues a PUT

[Well-Typed Blog] Improvements to the ghc-debug terminal interface

`ghc-debug` is a debugging tool for performing precise heap analysis of Haskell programs (check out [our previous post introducing it](https://www.well-typed.com/blog/2021/01/fragmentation-deeper-look/)). While working on [Eras Profiling](https://www.well-typed.com/blog/2024/01/ghc-eras-profiling/), we took the opportunity to... #haskell

“When drivers fail to yield for pedestrians, it’s not because they can’t see them, it’s because they don’t care.” Kudos to @VisionZeroYVR for this brilliant intervention. https://momentummag.com/vision-zero-campaign-bricks-vancouver/ #TheWarOnCars

Do you want to stop "supply chain compromises" as a company? Here's a very simple way to do so: pay a stipend to a maintainer of something you depend on.

You don't really need dependency tracking tools. You don't need to exactly parcel out the 'right' proportionate amount of money to every maintainer. All of that operational complexity is unnecessary.

It doesn't even matter *which* maintainer you pick, as long as it's one who isn't receiving a stipend yet, and you pay them enough to constitute a salary.

It will cost you exactly one developer salary. If every able company does this, the problem of supply chain compromises is solved tomorrow.

All you need to do is simply *do it*, and talk about it so that other companies will too.

If you had code on GitHub at any point it looks like it might be included in a large dataset called “The Stack” — If you want your code removed from this massive “ai” training data go here:

https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/in-the-stack

I found two of my old Github repos in there. Both were deleted last year and both were private. This is a serious breach of trust by Github and @huggingface.

Remove all your code from Github.

CONSENT IS NOT OPT-OUT.

Edit — thanks for all the replies. More context here: https://hachyderm.io/@joeyh/112105744123363587

Also the repos i found of mine i’m sure were private, but even if they were public at some point, for a brief time, in the past that isn’t my consent to use them for purposes beyond their intent.

---
Edit 2 -- I see this made it to HN, which is a level of attention I do not want nor appreciate....

For all those wondering about the private repo issue -- No, I am not 100% sure that these ancient repos weren't at some point public for a split second before I changed it. I do know that they were never meant for this and that one of them didn't even contain any code.

If my accidentally making a repo public for a moment just so happened to overlap with this scraping, then I guess that's possible. But it in no way invalidates the issues, and the anger that i feel about it.

Was macht Google Branding eigentlich beruflich?

Sandy Gottesman是伯克希尔早期投资者，2022年96岁去世。

去世前，留了一笔钱告诉他的妻子——现年93岁的爱因斯坦医学院前教授Dr. Ruth Gottesman——你觉得这钱怎么花合适就怎么花。

几个小时前，她宣布把这10亿美元捐给医学院。从今年8月开始，所有学生都不需要再支付学费了。

美国私立医学院的四年学费，一般在20万到30万美元之间。 加上四年大学，差不多要40-60万美元左右。
