He's right, we really have forgotten that email can just be about reaching out to strangers for honest communication.

Maybe I'll have Claude send him a thank you.

Which translation? I think I read 2 different ones and I can't remember which one I liked.

Very cool but it needs a button to make a Natascha McElhone appear on the station.

what does as often as possible mean? It will auto-vacuum when it's idle, right? Why not just let it do that?

What do you mean by ‘idle’?

If you mean your database is seeing extended periods of no updates to a table, you still want to vacuum, maybe even vacuum full if you know when traffic stopped and for how long to get the best possible read performance.

If you have quiet periods in both reads and writes, enjoy the luxury of having an unused database to operate.

I can because this thread is not about sql injection.

But there's DROP TABLE in both the title and the comic, so it must be relevant

I mean, the prompt says delete just his code, if he made it clear in the license agreement that you're not supposed to use it, and you use it anyway... Then it sounds like he's in the right.

He's right to be scared of lawyers though.

>I mean, the prompt says delete just his code, if he made it clear in the license agreement that you're not supposed to use it, and you use it anyway...

Isn't the general consensus that people look above the line for the license agreement and don't read the fine print?

I think it's worse than that with vibe coding, they often don't know what libs are getting installed. So what are you supposed to do to stop agents from using your lib (which IMHO you should be able to do)?

It's a little suspicious. Why are they doing something that no other website in the world does? I was curious about zero-whatever but not enough to do whatever this is.

Clearly other sites do since the user who shared the anecdote has certificates already configured in their browser? It's uncommon but pretty easy to understand how this happened.

Bear in mind, this is public/private key crypto so it's not like the site is asking for your facebook password or something. The site owner has no way to reuse a certificate to imitate the user.

Plenty of sites do this, you just don't interact with them. Corp and govt intranets love this stuff.

Right, I've interacted with them when I had to for work. I wouldn't post any of them on HN though.

Bruh it's one line in nginx config.

> that no other website in the world does

That you know of. Anywhere with stringent security it's everywhere.

If you don't mind investors being unwilling to do new construction. It's a band-aid on a much bigger problem.

Thou shall have luxury apartments which are sprouting up everywhere in America. Where the elevators don’t work, but you do have amenities and you have top and bottom left right stereo, you can hear your neighbors above below and to the left and the right. As a bonus you also get to have extra company to help pay the rent.

Rent control has nothing to do with this bonus accommodation. This is directly out of the sharecropper, subscription own nothing playbook.

That depends on the market. I’m not familiar with St Paul Minnesota, but here in Perth, Western Australia this is raised as an argument every time someone proposes anything to do with rolling back investor tax breaks. That and “there will be no rentals!”

The truth of the situation here is that there is more than enough demand for new housing anyway, directly financed by wannabe homeowners, that ‘investment’ goes 90% into existing stock, not new builds, and that investment properties actually create rental demand as investors crowd out would-be owner-occupiers from both existing houses and new-build opportunities.

In Melbourne, where measures to reduce the attractiveness of investment have already happened, the price of housing has levelled off comparative to other capitals in Aus, and rental availability has actually gone up.

The underlying problem is of course supply, but there appears to be a limit to how fast the building industry can actually build more stock, so with huge demand and limited supply, we don’t need to encourage as much speculation or landlordism in the market to get more built. All it does is add heat and pump prices.

All of the capitalistic English speaking countries today are suffering, the same problem and it ain’t because of rent control, starter houses/homes are not being built for the most part and no affordable apartments are either it’s come down to you shall rent for the rest of your life, and live in a luxury apartment doubled up with roomies, or enjoy living in a car or van on the road.

That modern day tenement apartment is now known as a luxury apartment with the amenities courtesy of an equity company.

There's even a new word for it: "rent-seeking", if you're my age you remember the Ropers as a kindly awkward couple. And Mr. Furley as kind of a weirdo but landlords were never associated with corporate greed for me generation. I realize that situation has changed and I feel for these poor kids.

Heck I remember renting a full house in decent (not great) neighborhoods for $300 which was earnable in a single day.

It's actually common to be in that situation where the grid is paying pennies on the dollar and you have extra generation. Most grid-tie systems are in that boat.

Suddenly you find yourself looking for something to spend power on so it doesn't go to waste.

I thought it was to make a fuckload of money for shareholders.
