Pwhy1··on I scanned all of GitHub's "oops commits" for leaked secrets
Maybe I missed it but the article doesn't mention the even easier way to see this: the activity tab.

It has everything. Any force push to hide ugly prototype code is kept forever which annoys me. I wish we were able to remove stuff from there but the only way to do it is to email support it seems?

Here it is for the test repo mentioned

Pwhy1··on Show HN: I made a screensaver that solves chess puzzles
That's fun! Is it possible to have an optional pause before solution is shown, so if looking at the screen there is some time to try to solve the puzzle?
Pwhy1··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
I started a small meditation where I attempt to walk back through the whole day as best I can, while trying to drift to sleep. It has made me appreciate my life more and I remember more mundane details because I have at least recalled it once, if that makes sense.

Unless it is a day to forget... If you have too many of those, you know something needs to change.

Pwhy1··on How the new Microsoft Recall feature fundamentally undermines Windows security
I would not touch this..

But it got thinking, if git ever gets replaced would it be by something akin to this that is constantly monitoring all keystrokes in your repo folder and you never make a commit as such, the ai repo upstream just sorts it out..

Pwhy1··on A collection of interactive music theory tools and visual refs to learn music
Great site, I have bookmarked this and will definitely use it for study.
Pwhy1··on Are hospitals overtreating patients nearing the end?
I completely disagree. I would rather not exist than be in truly agonising pain for the rest of my existence.

Heck, I've had something as simple as bad food poisoning where, if it was a terminal symptom, I would have ended it.

Pwhy1··on Show HN: My ML applications book, which HN helped me write (sample chapter) [pdf]
Looks great, I think I will pick this up. Can I ask a strange question, what font is used for the text in the book? It's very pleasant to look at!
Pwhy1··on In the Pancreas, Common Fungi May Drive Cancer
If diseases caused by self defects arise mainly after reproducing (say in your 50s/60s/70s), would there be much evolutionary pressure to eliminate it?
