A quotation from The Bible

Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.
 
[μετὰ ἄφρονος μὴ πληθύνῃς λόγον
καὶ πρὸς ἀσύνετον μὴ πορεύου·
φύλαξαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ κόπον ἔχῃς
καὶ οὐ μὴ μολυνθῇς ἐν τῷ ἐντιναγμῷ αὐτοῦ·
ἔκκλινον ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνάπαυσιν
καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκηδιάσῃς ἐν τῇ ἀπονοίᾳ αὐτοῦ.]

A quotation from The Bible

Some people are thought to be wise because they don’t talk much; others are disliked because they talk too much. Some people keep quiet because they don’t have anything to say; others keep quiet because they know the right time to speak. A wise person will not speak until the right moment, but a bragging fool doesn’t know when that time is.
 
[ἔστιν σιωπῶν εὑρισκόμενος σοφός,
καὶ ἔστιν μισητὸς ἀπὸ πολλῆς λαλιᾶς.
ἔστιν σιωπῶν, οὐ γὰρ ἔχει ἀπόκρισιν,
καὶ ἔστιν σιωπῶν εἰδὼς καιρόν.
ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς σιγήσει ἕως καιροῦ,
ὁ δὲ λαπιστὴς καὶ ἄφρων ὑπερβήσεται καιρόν.]

A quotation from A. A. Milne

   “Wait a moment,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, holding up his paw.
   He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks … and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
   “Yes,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
   “I see now,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
   “I have been Foolish and Deluded,” said he, “and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 3 “Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting” (1926)

A quotation from C. C. Colton

If the weakness of the head were an admissible excuse for the malevolence of the heart, the one-half of mankind would be occupied in aggression, and the other half in forgiveness; but the interests of society peremptorily demand that things should not be so; for a fool is often as dangerous to deal with as a knave, and always more incorrigible.

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 372 (1820)

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

Strange enough how creatures of the human-kind shut their eyes to plainest facts; and by the mere inertia of Oblivion and Stupidity, live at ease in the midst of Wonders and Terrors. But indeed man is, and was always, a blockhead and dullard; much readier to feel and digest, than to think and consider.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Sartor Resartus, Book 1, ch. 8 (1834)

A man who does not see this is senseless; he who does see it, and still advocates such a measure, is impious.

DVC, FDS, Kart и Dolt для версионирования данных

Дата-сайентистам необходимо следить, на каком наборе данных ML-модели проявляют себя наилучшим образом и почему. Для этого есть специализированные решения, которые помогают реализовать версионирование данных. Меня зовут Павел Куницын, я главный специалист по анализу данных и МО в ПГК Диджитал, и сегодня хотел бы рассказать о некоторых профильных open source инструментах

Выбираю Open Source БД для себя

Задача такая: искал Open Source БД для своего пет-проекта. Решил посмотреть в интернете новые решения в рамках БД. После чтения статей и отбора из 6-7 БД остались три (3), которые понравились лично мне. Больше ничего путного не нашел. Почему именно эти? Во-первых, они Open Source, а во-вторых, у них есть ответы на два главных моих вопроса «Для чего это нужно?» и «Работает ли из коробки?» Давайте покажу на примерах.

Of course someone would be that stupid. Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying “End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,” the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.

@haxing_ninja The most elegant option would be to fork #gotosocial, vendor #Dolt, and use Dolt’s storage engine directly. I could compile a single binary which would be easy to deploy. I’d need to level up my #GoLang in a major way…

This would also allow me to use Dolt’s decentralization features in addition to #activitypub for node synchronization. That’s beyond the scope of what I’m considering right now though.

@haxing_ninja yup, that’s pretty much what I’d have to do if I use something backed by PostgreSQL. #Dolt supports importing via pg_dump https://docs.dolthub.com/guides/import#postgres

It’s operationally simpler if I can use Dolt’s #MySQL server directly and skip the ETL step. You can also use Dolt as a MySQL replica via binlog.

I want to use #Dolt as the backend for an Fediverse server populated entirely by #bots. The clone/pull semantics will help me keep an analytic copy of the DB.

If it goes well and I can open up the instance, branches will allow people to pull data on their own bots.

The primary goal: experiment with #fedilytics and #GenerativeAI.

Secondary goal: make progress on #Fediverse account portability.

@haxing_ninja

@haxing_ninja I actually want to use #Dolt. It’s an relational database with native #git like version control implemented in #GoLang. It targets the #MySQL dialect for path dependency reasons. Team plans to add #PostgreSQL support, but it’s a big lift.

https://docs.dolthub.com/sql-reference/sql-support

@aral I read through the #Kitten docs. You did a nice job walking through the project and it’s capabilities 👍🏻

Looks like a neat tool. #HTMX and #alpinejs are nice choices to bundle. I’d prefer #SQLite to #JSDB, but I see what you’re going for. I might try it out with #Dolt via Dolthub’s SQL API https://dolthub.com/blog/2020-08-21-dolthub-repository-apis/

Overall it feels like a static site generator, but it’s dynamic! very cool 😸
