Articulate post on the problems with bogus CVEs

A search engine. It indexes all of my personal notes as well as my entire browsing history. Previously visited pages and notes get blended w/ google results. Makes a big difference when trying to find blogs, docs, notes on things Ive worked on previously or make random connections between notes and current questions. Of course it now needs a bottoms up rewrite in the age of vector dbs and GPT.

your tutorial for locking down windows is super useful, thanks! Any recommendations for remote administration? I would like to set this up for my parents but need to be able to address any issues they might have w/o a transatlantic flight ;-)

I've been working on https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie for about a year now. Its similar to Dolt in spirit but aimed at big data/data lakes. Would welcome feedback from the community.

Its very exciting to see this field picking up speed. Tons of interesting problems to be solved :-)

Check out https://searchdatamanagement.techtarget.com/news/252495619/A... the convergence between data lake and data warehouse idea is starting to spread rapidly.

only in name. check out the lack of traction for a lot of PRs on https://github.com/delta/delta-oss . Iceberg (https://iceberg.apache.org) is comparable but actually OSS.

Check out https://projectnessie.org it adds multi-table transactions to Databricks Delta.

2nd that. I keep coming back to vimwiki after forays into other tools. It isn't perfect but its reliable and I can find my notes when I need them

I suppose this can be compared to standardising SQL. However that has ended up with a least common denominator of simple operations and dozens of specialised dialects. Better than before the standard but certainly not great and tons of engineering has gone into cross dialect facades.

Granted I haven't thought as long or as hard as the authors but I wonder if there are easier ways to go about this:

a) something akin to slf4j or one of the many unifying facades in java b) standardising the data structures/formats. eg Arrow has done quite a good job positioning itself as a data lingua franca and has compute primitives.

Regardless, I will be watching with interest!

I wonder how many 'fake news' sites and other tools designed to subvert democracy are this fragile. Seems like we could do a lot of good by disrupting those sites rather than slowing down phishers.

Defending our democratic institutions > messing with scammers

I took this for a spin on AWS and it blew the doors off Athena. Looks better too.
