It could do better for sure, but it's a just a Get Started guide, I never consider that a Production Ready guide.

I'm not following what you're saying here at all.

Meshnet is their peer-to-peer secure networking solution, not their conventional VPN solution. It allowed you to have multiple devices in your account directly communicate with one another, set a device as gateways for routing network traffic of devices connected to Meshnet (basically making your own VPN server), sending files directly between devices, and likely more I'm not aware of.

It was essentially their Tailscale / ZeroTier offering, but in the opposite manner to Tailscale which added Mullvad integration to provide a more conventional VPN atop their mesh network.

They are removing Meshnet, and the primary capabilities of NordVPN will be their global set of traditional VPN servers. Some of the features like P2P file transmission can be replaced by e.g. NordLocker albeit without P2P if I understand it correctly. But mesh networking is gone in December.

These agents often generate randomly named files and dump them anywhere. You can end up with dozens of files added if you let it run on any problem it tries to create one-off "test / reproduction" cases. It hasn't always cleaned them up so a "git add all" approach can bring in junk, and the patterns for names aren't consistent. In fact they're often called stuff like *-test.js which looks like it could be a source OR test file.

Ah, the video is a year old. There is another link to a reddit post in the thread. Supposedly it is solved now! Read more there

It was solved? They never decrypted the original file, only the decoy.

Disclosing doesn't mean it will be declined, it's just a signal for reviewers.

I read that "read-only" as essentially a "lockfile".

Which, this is exactly how pinning dependencies works. However if you are mutating your dependencies frequently and want the reference to them to change at the same time, this is the big pain with submodules- gotta do both yourselves. Not to mention there are now logistical problems to answer as this cannot happen atomically in all scenarios, let alone automatically.

Nothing about their post indicated they assumed that.

They offered two options, so you can go do the other one if it doesn't work for you.

A hypothetical scenario, but what if the consequences are a severe drop in overall intelligence? There is a conflated sense of "knowing" that comes from these tools.

AI that teaches you? Cool, it is great you learned. But generative AI giving you full essays you can hand in without even learning a topic? It's not difficult to see how this could have negative impacts.

Does it come assembled? No, you do it yourself.

DIY.

The author also says they want to be able to understand all of the components of the system. Software that needs upgrades that may not be backwards compatible is an issue. I imagine many web servers can fall under either of these concerns, including Apache and Nginx.

I'm not a fan of Go myself, but I can see how a simple Go HTTP server fits the bill.

I still don't understand the conflation of free as in freedom with free as in free beer.

You reserve certain rights to the code, that's not to say no one gets paid for _putting in work_.

If anything these models are about as close to providing _some_ manner of income to upstream projects. If Zorin donates a portion back, that is.

Yeah that is the opposite take of recent posts that the Cargo/npm package dependence is way too heavy.

Saying we should rely on reusable modules is great and all, but that reusable code is going to be maintained by who now?

There's no sustainable pattern for this yet, most things are good graces of businesses or free time development, many become unmaintained over time- people who actually want to survive on developing and supporting reusable modules alone might actually be more rare than the unicorn devs.

Cursor is a VS Code fork. Anyone coming from VS Code, one of the most popular editors in the ecosystem, will immediately be comfortable. The full marketplace of extensions is compatible. The switchover is effectively seamless besides a handful of keyboard shortcuts used for the new AI features.

Lots of jobs where employers pay that much per head, not just FAANG. Honestly FAANG is probably spending double that for senior+ level engineers.

More like "single process application's database".

There are interesting use cases for DB-per-user which can be server or client side, or litestream's continuous backup/sync that can extend it beyond this use case a bit too.

You _can_ use SQLite as your service's sole database, if you vertically scale it up and the load isn't too much. It'll handle a reasonable amount of traffic. Once you hit that ceiling though, you'll have to rethink your architecture, and undergo some kind of migration.

The common argument for SQLite is deferring complexity of hosting until you've actually reached the type of load you have to use a more complex stack for.

Just a heads up, your landing page shows a 404 deployment not found

Does it work that way if you initially sign up from India? Your first VPN sign up is inherently from your real IP and that's enough to determine geolocation as India. They may require different data for different countries.

I'm not saying it does. Just that it's possible. Perhaps an Indian NordVPN user could provide input here

Except the content quality on TikTok wasn't only brain rot, and the algorithm often grew into valuable content. That is, if you actually wanted it. If you want brain rot, it'll give it to you.

Meanwhile, you don't even get the choice on Facebook.

I've never heard of mise used for creating and managing APT repositories. Where does that figure in?

Since enough comments seem to focus on consolidating writes and security issues, please see the post. They explicitly state this as something they're working on.

As such everything within this thread is conjecture unless otherwise informed by their work.

If you own a smart TV that runs RokuOS that may not be an option. Just turning your TV on will serve you an ad.

Absolutely disgusting behavior on their part.

On the other hand, I did a WHOIS days ago to check up on a potential scam site my partner landed on while working on an e-commerce platform. I hope some alternative exists, people using Let's Encrypt leaves an entry in the transparency log but people don't necessarily need to use that. I haven't researched the alternatives to WHOIS yet but now I'll have to.

And they removed the post after November... Oof

Any good examples for these in systems projects?

Also the easiest case of "Take subordinates ideas for my own" with the culture at that company.

I can read up on an algorithm and explain it to people, it doesn't mean it's my own intellectual accomplishment to repeat it.

Agreed. What I want is PC Part Picker for the wider e-commerce ecosystem.

WhatsApp being owned by Meta likely detracts from this though.

We utilize every platform equally. TikTok organically grew at least 5x the followership for our business, meanwhile Meta gouges us for advertising to be seen at all and we see worse results and interactions there.

No, these options are not truly equal, and many businesses will suffer.

You can be fully aware of this and still have issues building up your platform elsewhere.

The ban of TikTok will have resounding effects even if people are utilizing the alternatives. I've seen far too many people who haven't used TikTok and the alternatives for their business, or are not business owners at all, declare their opinions as facts when they have no actual experience in this space.

I'm not saying this explicitly includes you, I don't make presumptions about your experience in this space.
