Yeah, but what would you do with it? Can you convert the bytes to work on any other sensor the victim may also use their fingerprint? Never looked into the real implementation details of the fingerprint hardware.

Wouldn’t biometric data be sensor/implementation specific. I doubt the fingerprint data stored on an iPhone is the same as the one stored on an Xperia.

« The problem with grabbing small snippets of code is a lot of context is lost.» does not mean that a lot of additional code is required to understand the context, additionally, simple code may require you to read a bit of code to understand it.

Simplicity does not mean small scale, nor that it must be understood at a glance.

Rich Hickey got a great presentation where he discuss simplicity vs complexity. It’s worth a watch if you want to better understand the concepts.

Simple != few lines of code, nothing incompatible about those two statements

I got a bot on lemmy that scrapes espn for sports/football updates using regex to retrieve the JSON that is embedded in the html file, it works perfectly so far 🤷‍♂️

Though to be fair, I think the study would yield similar results to pretty much every country.

MongoDB handles web scale. You turn it on and it scales right up

How can it be profitable? Surely the energy cost would surpass that value of a single search?

How is Go safer?

What big advantages does pathlib provide? os.path works just fine

Writing a package manager is not one of the most common programming tasks. After all, there are many out-of-the-box ones available. Yet, somehow I’ve found myself in exactly this situation.

How so?

I’m a big fan of SQLite and its extensions. Given the large number of such extensions in the wild, I wanted a structured approach to managing them. Which usually involves, well, a package manager. Except there is none for SQLite. So I decided to build one!

/ isn’t a valid char in filenames, yyyy-mm-dd is better

That’s for images though, not text content.

Sweden and Denmark are very similar. You don’t need oil/gas to make it possible

made a racist conservative

Half of TES lore is about racism, oblivion even got a racism table for all the playable races.

Huh, I missed that when skimming through the post and source code

I am considering implementing my own ActivityPub server to remove the dependency on a Lemmy server to get votes,

I saw that part and misunderstood it as if he didn’t run an instance.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Honestly surprised you’re able to get lemmy votes without an admin account, I thought that data was restricted to instance admins.
