Re:I don't read web articles anymore, but I read books on Monday January 09, 2023 @10:40AM (#34311505)
Books have just problem: time. Tim from the idea until it gets out from the print. A lot of things can happen in meantime that are not reflected in books.
Re:Ask HN: What to do with old computer books? on Thursday December 29, 2022 @05:06AM (#34171147)
I've donated all of my old books to local library. I've also donated some of my old high school books to school. Those are editions published by school, and I had them in mint condition.

Is there some setting in GitHub to prevent this messages from coming?
Re:The Cypher Query Language – Best Practices on Wednesday December 28, 2022 @03:37AM (#34158885)
I don't know, I like the to have difference between Cypher commands (all caps) and some other elements.
Re:The Legend of the QWERTY Keyboard (2013) on Thursday December 15, 2022 @04:12AM (#33997025)
I've never used any other layout than QUERTY or QUERTZ (depending on the local settings). Until now I've always thought that the result was the mechanics behind typewriter, and now it seems that that wasn't the case. It's nice to learn new things. But it also makes me wonder how things come into becoming legends or "truth".
Re:The Gates of Argonath from the LotR in VR 50 FPS Using UE5.1 on Thursday December 15, 2022 @04:09AM (#33997005)
This looks so great. When I see this I'm somewhat sad that I don0t have computer powerful enough to try to do something like this by myself.
Re:Memgraph vs. Neo4j: A Performance Comparison on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @03:34AM (#33877177)
> If you prefer a TL;DR, here it is: Memgraph is approximately 120 times faster than Neo4j, all while consuming one quarter of the memory and providing snapshot isolation instead of Neo4j’s default of read-committed.

I see that there is a link to repo and test methodology is quite extensive and well described. Did anyone try to reproduce this results on their own?

What about graph databases? Where do they fit? Is there a report or comparison for them?
Re:Ask HN: Non-techie friendly way to store crypto outside of exchange on Friday November 11, 2022 @04:58AM (#33558854)
Can you even get the funds out of crypto to store them on your hardware wallet? My knowledge about crypto is equal to zero.
Re:Ask HN: What do you do for online privacy? on Friday November 11, 2022 @04:57AM (#33558843)
I'm not doing enough :( I'm not sure what I can do.

I have two browsers, Firefox and Chrome. On Firefox I run add blocker, on Chrome I don't run it. Why? My job requires sometimes to help marketing team and if you block adds you don't see the whole picture or our and competitors activity.

I don't encrypt files before upload. Why? I'm not sure how to do it and my biggest fear is what if my encryption key stops working. I got locked out my Windows because I run a system update and I didn't disable bit locker before that. So I had to go through recovery procedure.

I use Twitter and LinkedIn. I'm not very social on social media. I don't create content.

Re:Ask HN: Do you use data lineage in your projects? on Thursday November 10, 2022 @04:10AM (#33543999)
I get it, but I still don't like it. Lineage sounds to me like you try to put your data in one line, like an aliment.

Re:Ask HN: Do you use data lineage in your projects? on Thursday November 10, 2022 @03:26AM (#33543723)
I find the term itself very strange and hard to understand (I'm not a English native speaker).

"Data lineage" what does it even mean? Wouldn't it be better to call it "data tractability" since that is what this is about. Am I right?

Re:Ask HN: Why does everybody say “Mastodon” when they mean ActivityPub? on Tuesday November 08, 2022 @04:58AM (#33517619)
I've never heard about ActivityPub before your post. And Mastodont is complicated by it self. Is it one server, one service or multiple ones? Why handle isn't something simple. Where are my messages stored? So put on top of that protocol and it would be a total mess.

Thank. Will try it out.

Ask HN: How to Replace Google SSO?

Posted by kobaroko on Tuesday November 08, 2022 @12:46AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm thinking about moving away from Google. I have bought domain and a hosting server. I wonder if there a way to replace Google SSO on places where I 've used it. E.g. I use Google SSO account for LinkedIn, Twitter. Do I need to to convert each account to non-google account? Maybe there is some service that would do that for me.

Ask HN: Converting HTML to Markdown Using RSS

Posted by kobaroko on Friday November 04, 2022 @03:25AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I would like to move away from CMS that I'm using to GitHub pages. I think that the easiest way is to use my RSS feed as source, but I don't know how to convert. I get it that not everything can be converted, but just to manage to get the images and text out and formated right it would be great.My second option is to copy HTML source code, but I don't think that GitHub pages support all of the...
