Have I Been Pwned listed me in the ALIEN TXTBASE Stealer Logs. I went through the Notify me tab, got a verification link to check for my personal records, and all I got was this lousy:

"No domains were found for your email address. Whilst your email address was found in a stealer log, no websites were found alongside it. This can be due to the way the log was formatted."

TL;DR: You could try my email in there, believe credentials were stolen, when that might be recycled leak stuffing.

nicolaslegland··on How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
In the version from Google Translate, "trop souvent" adds a notion of frequency like "too often" would, "avant" is shoehorned as a misplaced compulsory match for "before" when "too many times before" already felt like a ready-made phrase at this point.

In yours, "salua" would likely pass as a greeting, while "excessivement" would rather refer to the silly moves she made. Definitely harder to read for me.

I agree the "before" is the hard part to get right, I process "too many times before" as "too many times already", emphasis on reaching that number of times, given the song's context. Maybe we should treat "said […] before" as a smoothest form of "had said […]" to sing.

I'd go for "Elle a tant de fois dit au revoir" (9 syllabes).

Change my French mind.

nicolaslegland··on Show HN: Regex.ai – AI-powered regular expression generator
https://regex.inginf.units.it/ only needed 5 seconds to generate /(?<=Rd )\d++/ when I highlighted 9856, 10190, 9753 and 8883.

https://regex.ai/ was stuck with /9856|10190|9753|8883/ and confidently emitted /\d{4}/ as an alternative.

https://regex101.com/r/cAaV1z/1 confirms the former.

Regarding that video, stuttering on a travelling content made me tick. Video has a lot of duplicate frames, not in a perfect ratio of the encoded 60Hz.

• Open https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_BaT3LDwo8, advance with the "." (dot) key.
