Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-11 +Created 1970-01-01Some reverse engineering was done at: twitter.com/hackerfantastic/status/1575505438111571969?lang=en.
Notably, the password is hardcoded and its hash is stored in the JavaScript itself. The result is then submitted back via a POST request to
/cgi-bin/goal.cgi.TODO: how is the SHA calculated? Appears to be manual.

sqlite3 :memory: 'WITH t (i, j) AS (VALUES (1, -1), (2, -2)) SELECT * FROM t'
TODO clear example of the computational problem that it solves.

The highly underdocumented built-in module, that supports SQL spatial index and a lot more.
Quite horrendous as it only seems to work on geometric types and not existing columns. But why.
And it uses custom operatores, where standard operators would have been just fine for points...
Minimal runnable example with points:The index creation unfortunately took 100s, so it will not scale to 1B points very well whic his a shame.
set -x
time psql -c 'drop table if exists t'
time psql -c 'create table t(p point)'
time psql -c "insert into t select (point ('(' || generate_series || ',' || generate_series || ')')) from generate_series(1, 10000000)"
time psql -c 'create index on t using gist(p)'
time psql -c "select count(*) from t where p <@ box '(1000000,1000000),(9000000,2000000)'"The third part module, which clutters up any serches you make for the built-in one.
Example: nodejs/sequelize/trigger_count.js
There is of course no built-in support for SQL TRIGGERs in Sequelize, but we can add our own: stackoverflow.com/questions/29716346/how-to-create-a-trigger-in-sequelize-nodejs/76215728#76215728
Ubuntu 23.04 boot broken on kernel 6.2 by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-11 +Created 1970-01-01
Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-11 +Created 1970-01-01The solution on kernel 6.2 was:as per comments under: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2012559. This also made the nvidia driver work: Find GPU information in Ubuntu.
sudo apt instal nvidia-driver-515Previously I had:and it blew up before reaching disk decryption.
nvidia-driver-510I also tried:but that broke in a different way:
nvidia-driver-525Finished apport-autoreport.service - Process error reports when automatic reporting is enabled.
nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:0: Idling display engine timed out: 0x0000947d:0:0:407
(1 of 2) Job systemd-backlight@backlight: nvidia_e.service/start running (32s no limit)Demo under: nodejs/sequelize/raw/many_to_many.js.
NO way in the SQL standard apparently, but you'd hope that implementation status would be similar to UPDATE with JOIN, but not even!
