VMtest··on GitHub Copilot as open source code laundering?
my linux-like kernel will be MIT license though
VMtest··on Learn by reading code: Python standard library design decisions explained
I remember there is an old explanation of Python implementation on Youtube, the inner workings, I have never watched it. But I couldn't find it now
VMtest··on GitHub Copilot as open source code laundering?
gonna develop my own linux-like kernel soon, with my own AI model trained on public repositories

wanna see the source code of my AI model? oh, it's closed source

it's just coincidence that nearly 100% of my future linux-like kernel code looks the same as linux the kernel, bear in mind that my closed-source AI model takes inspiration from GitHub Copilot, there is no way that it will copy any source code

VMtest··on Ask HN: How do you stay on top of everything you find interesting on the Web?
category and topic of interest, yea, I kind of do the same thing actively, but as you mention GTD, I should stop doing the categorizing already, it's taking too much of my time

I made a comment on tab overload post previously:

VMtest··on Installing Windows 11 on Legacy BIOS Without Secure Boot
Does the TPM or Microsoft's Pluton on the AMD/Intel CPU prevents people to use Linux?

I know some Linux distros already supporting enabled Secure Boot

edit: sorry I reread your comment that you already mentioned Linux can run with TPM

VMtest··on Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse unless they give 30% of creator earning
at least tell us how much it cost to build and support this functionality before asking that question
VMtest··on Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse unless they give 30% of creator earning
Epic sues Apple though
VMtest··on Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse unless they give 30% of creator earning
because the arguments from people like the parent comment don't hold
VMtest··on Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse unless they give 30% of creator earning
> but I'm not sure if Apple relented or if it was just a misunderstanding

the replies to your comments are literally telling you the true story, at least do your own homework

VMtest··on Apple is threatening to remove Fanhouse unless they give 30% of creator earning
She, the fanhouse app owner, only takes 10% from the content creators
VMtest··on Farmers Deserve the Right to Repair Their Tractors
Not sure if anybody has mentioned this regarding open source hardware, they are really doing a great job repairing on their own

VMtest··on Fastly Outage
I am already here
VMtest··on Non-technical security best-practices for open source projects
you mean the summary, tree, log, refs on the navigation bar? I kinda agree, but it's not totally "impenetrable" though

other than that, all links are in blue color to me

VMtest··on Stanford CS Curriculum 2021
SerenityOS creator Andreas Kling is self-taught as well

VMtest··on How a Jenkins Job Broke our Jenkins UI
if that's the case, just restart the failing nodes

and of course it's not that simple, they still have to customize the workflow

VMtest··on A Dive into Ray Tracing Performance on the Apple M1
I have seen in old posts that people writing their own raytracers, and that normally means it's on CPU as well right?

so their own raytracers are not real-time either

VMtest··on Rethinking the computer ‘desktop’ as a concept
Such brilliant \s

please advocate these (old) ideas (becoming new again) to the creator of SerenityOS, I want to listen to his opinion since he used to work for Apple as a WebKit and Safari engineer

VMtest··on Android 12 will let alternative app stores update apps automatically
It's funny because as you mention this, somebody made a thread few days ago for iOS already

VMtest··on Chiropractors are bullshit
I almost wanted to share that video over here too, but I Ctrl+F "Ian" and saw that you did that first

The channel name is Chiro Core by Dr Ian

VMtest··on Counter-Strike Global Offsets: reliable remote code execution
after reading the comments, I think the takeaways for games are

1. sandboxing - restrict read/write/execute folder/file access at kernel level

2. sandboxing - restrict games to execute arbitrary code, only the game binary itself is allow to be executed

3. anti-cheat software should not be installed at client's computer

4. implement anti cheating from server side instead of relying on client side anti-cheat software

VMtest··on Overcoming Tab Overload
I think somehow I have overcome this tab overloadding problem on my own

I have restricted myself from browsing internet on mobile phone, so I only view them from my personal computer

I always keep a note on what I browse, regardless of how important or useless it is (except entertainment stuff to some extent)

I am using this note taking method to all my work as well, for example, searching online about security aspect of several CI/CD pipeline tools that my company use

The notes that I create are all mostly markdown files, with names to their own, so I can grep or find whenever I want, and encrypt and archive the whole folder as I want to back them up

By note taking down the links that I have viewed, sometimes with some wordings for explanation, I can keep track most of them, not all, becacuse sometimes I use namings that I couldn't recall and that's totally fine, I can still grep/find as I want anyway

I would just put down some file names so you guys can get a better idea

1. 3d-printing.md

2. asm.md

3. algorithms.md

4. browser.md

5. cybersecurity.md

6. hacking.md

7. graphics.md

8. gamedev0.md

9. reverse-engineering.md

10. storage-hard-drive.md

11. vpn-proxy.md

12. video-hardware-acceleration.md

13. game-engine.md

14. freelance-startups-business-side-hustle.md

15. fuchsia.md

16. electrical-and-computer-engineering.md

17. electronics.md

and a lot more like

300. linux/doc/linux-kernel.md

301. android/doc/android-apps.md

302. macos/doc/macos.md

303. windows/doc/windows-install.md

Edit: if you are wondering why do this at all when everything is just one google search away, well, i guess that's the whole point

VMtest··on Lima: Linux-on-Mac

VMtest··on Tried Nvidia’s GTX 1080 – still no external GPU on a Pi
So your daily driver is Windows pc already?

For development + video editing + gaming, are you gonna make a Windows vs Mac comparison video soon?

VMtest··on Google Docs will now use canvas based rendering
This is misleading.

1. You write Canvas in Javascript, the article did not mention anything about Canvas in WebAssembly.

2. Although WebAssembly used to run in Javascript with asm.js, WebAssembly code can be executed by V8 engine (C++ based) already.

VMtest··on Rufus: Reliable USB Formatting Utility
I used the same method as you, but from different source.

I tried to dig into my documentation for the link that I saved, it doesn't seem like I saved the google search terms for it, but they can be deduced from the link anyway.
