also, HTTPS certs are for in transit - so I see no reason why one certificate can't be used for all the Websites on the same server.
Re:Writing toy software is a joy on Tuesday June 24, 2025 @01:51PM (#44368851)
I know writing "toy" software has exposed me to new tools I might not have otherwise even known about.

I can't afford much n the way of software, so I've been trying to learn to make do with FOSS.

In this video, we explore what graph databases are and how you can get started with *Neo4j*, one of the most popular tools in the space.

We'll walk through:

* What makes graph databases different from relational databases * Real-world use cases like friend recommendations and fraud detection * A beginner-friendly intro to Cypher, Neo4j’s query language * How to set up your own graph database in the cloud or locally

Whether you're just starting out in tech or you're autistic and curious about how your brain might naturally "click" with complex data structures, this is for you.

If you're interested in the intersection of *autism and programming*, you'll find that graph theory and database design can actually be intuitive and empowering.

*Want to see the relationships between people, places, or products — clearly?* Graph databases make that possible.

Grug user want keyword research tool.

Grug user find program that does that and more.

Grug user confused by menu.

Grug user wish tool only did keyword research.

I predicted they'd walk back the announcement.

It seems to me nobody keeps this administration on their toes like the autism community.

I got ADHD so here's the short and sweet as explained to me by (ironically) ChatGPT:

they essentially subjected various LLMs including GPT and DeepSeek-R1 to the prisoner's dilemma and changed the circumstances to see if those models would adapt, or would stick to using an existing solution.

the LLMs adapted.

Notably, these LLMs aren't actually programmed to do that, making this adaptability most impressive.

Uber doesn't turn a profit but it's still around. Crazy how the world works..
My tools: Microsoft PowerPoint, YouTube.
I can see it from the City's POV.

It's not just installing it - it's making sure the thing won't end up making the problem worse or causing other problems.

why not just insist on your number?

Re:The sudden rise of AuDHD: autism and ADHD (2024) on Friday March 07, 2025 @04:42PM (#43295064)
It's hard to say how many ADHD diagnoses are illegitimate without knowing how each diagnosis was brought about.

A good diagnosis looks for evidence from childhood, in the form of school reports, a survey from someone who knew the patient as a child, etc.

Re:Ask HN: Who Doesn't Want to Be Acquired? on Monday March 03, 2025 @06:48PM (#43248295)
Yes. Frankly, I don't think anyone - let alone FAANG - would want to buy it, no matter how profitable it gets, because the business is inextricably tied to my persona.
Re:Inheriting is becoming nearly as important as working on Saturday March 01, 2025 @12:49PM (#43221650)
except that capital flight usually takes place in the form of exchanging one asset for another (stocks for crypto or money, for example), an event that is subject to taxation (in the US at least) if a profit is realized.
Re:Inheriting is becoming nearly as important as working on Saturday March 01, 2025 @12:20PM (#43221407)
you could create an exception: if you have <= $1M in unrealized capital gains, those assets are not subject to unrealized gains tax.

Even with my extensive work experience, I got nowhere. So I just gave up and became a YouTuber.
statistical regression is also machine learning.

sure, but

a) that would involve changing the code base b) more privacy minded users would just delete the messages or not update.
