Der Faschismus arbeitet übrigens auch damit, dass seine Gegner glauben er ist übermächtig und unbesiegbar.

go.sum Is Not a Lockfile
In Go, go.mod acts as both manifest and lockfile. There is never a reason to look at go.sum.

I am getting Parquet-pilled.
spotify_clean_playlists.sqlite3.zst (34GB, non queryable) ->
spotify_clean_playlists/*.parquet (11GB, queryable)
I wish more dataset releases and dumps were done with Parquet. It's truly excellent, particularly when paired with DuckDB

I just vibecoded with exe.dev and Opus 4.5 a backoffice for our FIPS 140 validation, with a separate view for the lab (where they can also upload test vectors), public links for clients, and guided scripts for testing.
I have not looked at the code once. It works great.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
