It’s from another repo and literally just an example env for an empty local docker DB: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgsa-tts-archived%2Fai-gov-api

The person you replied to doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It’s just an example password used for running a local empty DB for development and has nothing to do with production or even test databases.

You can see this in the readme: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgsa-tts-archived%2Fai-gov-api

See my longer previous comment if you want to know more. And again, not defending this project, but this whole comment chain was just misinformation.

I’m really shocked by the confidence people have here with clearly zero knowledge.

“.env_example” is literally just the example/template which is only updated if new “config” items are needed and it doesn’t contain actual secrets.

Developers copy “.env”/prod and “.env_local” files, which are used for the specific environments. These are in .gitignore so that they’re not accidentally pushed to .git.

For production the “.env” is generated during deployment from secrets in a locked up environment. (I mean they COULD fuck this up, but there’s no evidence of this AFAIK)

The example postgres password is simply a “hello world” type password that is often used when running a local docker image of the DB so you can get a full dev environment running in a couple minutes, as mentioned in the readme.md: https://github.com/gsa-tts-archived/ai-gov-api

It’s not even a testing environment, it’s a temporary local/dev DB just so you can test your code.

I am NOT defending this project, but holy shit this thread is full of misinformation and I had to correct this.

It was his grandfather who was arrested for being a technocrat while the party was banned during WW 2, and who moved to South Africa from Canada for a “white people’s fight” against “global jews”. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/09/joshua-haldeman-elon-musk-grandfather-apartheid-antisemitism/675396/

Not saying his direct parents didn’t hold similar beliefs.

That’s the marketing doing it’s work

Just because it’s not popular in your social bubble in Europe doesn’t mean it’s not important. I’m European, and I found it very useful during e.g. COVID or the start of the European invasion. (Ukraine*)

Of course there were problems with fake accounts back then, but it was still the best platform for curated expert feeds if you followed the right people.

It’s not the same anymore, many of the experts have left and especially the feeds don’t have the replies of other verified e.g. scientists. Similar to Reddit, but probably even worse/more noticeable.

My go-to these days is to push the current branch, dynamically.
git push origin HEAD

Depending on the VC, HEAD has different prefix/suffixes to make it work.

Edit: formatting, also I never checkout master I do origin/master so I cannot even push it with this method. I think

I don’t think the stickers void warranty in Europe, they have to prove that the water damage caused that exact failure. So water resistance is actually nice in that sense, because it also means their product probably failed.

But to respond to the first part, it’s just planned obsolescence. Why design something that needs to be fixable, if you can, well, just not do that. You don’t have to design or test opening the case, how it feels to put the battery in. How durable the closing and opening is.

So many problems are just gone, like “does the back get loose and fall off if you open it too often?”

People underestimate how much cheaper it is to not have to worry about user operations and error, you cut out any need for usablitiy testing and design. They are just being cheap and trying to sell it as “cool design”.

I was going to ask if the appointments are based on the elected government/party for further elaboration, but thought that would be lazy so did a bit of research.

So yeah, she’s Marina Silva. Lula’s cabinet’s minister of environment and climate change.

Especially frustrating when Samsung already built phones with replaceable batteries AND water resistance. (The IP rating was lower though)

I hope there is a high rating limit, so they can’t just add “survises a droplet” as reason to not have a replaceable battery.

I’ve tried almost all popular incremental games. Some I might have forgotten, but most are not listed because I lost interest.

Sorry in advance for lack of links, on mobile ATM. If there is interest I can add them.

Note: Most web games work on mobile, but some require an S-Pen or so for hovering upgrade tooltips before buying.

Favorites, beaten (web):

• Matter dimensions (my all time favorite)
• Godtree incremental (quite short)
• Idle Formulas
• Succubox (too much clicking but was similar to universal paperclips)
• Smaller demo games, like summer jam games or from www.incrementaldb.com

Favorites, beaten (Android):

• Upload Simulator (nice pacing)

Still playing (web)

• Incremental Mass Rewritten (active development)
• Antimatter dimensions (inspiration for many others, mobile app missing last layer)
• Fundamental (slow cycle; upgrades -> offline -> warp offline time)

Current Android games:

• Ctrl C (repeat old chapters for multipliers)
• Grimoire
• Myriad + Myriad DE (definite edition is slower, but in development)
• Upload Simulator 2 (don’t like the pacing compared to 1st)
• SPACEPLAN (trying out. nice, apparently new, visuals)

Also occasionally playing steam versions of Increlution or Cookie Clicker, and waiting for Orb of Creation v0.6.0.

You can also hide the clicked (parent) comment too. I don’t personally use it, to keep an overview, but it allows going through comments with much less scrolling.

12 years. The amount of knowledge and experience shared in a conversational style was invaluable, but I cannot keep using a service that is hostile to users like me/us.

It affected how easily your comments or posts could get upvoted, the more karma you had the more “trust” you had. Bot accounts were bought from people with high karma due to this reason, and sold further for a higher price after farming.

At some point the post/comment karma was changed to a fuzzy number, someone claimed your karma affected how it was calculated. Not sure if true.

Reading about how digg died, one reason was “front-page” bandits/groups. Basically people grouping up and getting paid to land posts on the front page. The more they did it, the more “trust” they had to hit front page again, similarly to high karma accounts on Reddit.

Yes. It’s like saying you’ve moved on, while talking about your ex every chance you have.

Still, IMO, ideas should be considered no matter where they come from. They can just be dismissed.

I feel like it might be bit close-minded to think there might not be anything good to learn/implement. The core still has some Aaron Swartz in it.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying to protest by using alternatives, and then going back if there’s real change. (naïve, maybe)

Initially really wanted Reddit to take a hit so that they would be forced to reconsile, but I became disillusioned quite quickly. Compared to the fediverse, it is rotten; Spez is only the mouthpiece for their internal chess game.

He probably spoke the truth, when he claimed to previously having been the only one defending the third party apps.

Sync was the first app that looked nicer AND improved usability for me, after almost a decade of RIF. So I paid for the dev version to support it, and don’t regret it even with what happened.

I have really enjoyed Jerboa while waiting for Sync, can recommend. It’s on the Play Store and native android (+ open source on GitHub)
