The best tool has just a single button that has already been pressed for you. The mechanical action is there just for satisfaction.

This feels like I am violating something that is sacred.

The last time I felt the same was when I accidentally found a Japanese Youtube channel that had tons of clips of konbini storefronts, a few seconds long each, most of them with zero views.

CVE 10.0 if you happen to use one specific functionality in the library. Non-CVE if you do not, and because it's an old bug, you cannot just downgrade to get a non-red result from Trivy.

GPU driver packages are already a huge collection of workarounds for bad game engine coding.

An Nvidia employee once told me that one of the easiest ways to squeeze out a few extra frames on your old machine is to rename the game executable to hl2.exe.

Only in EU because of the Accessibility Act[1]. Copywrong holders are allowed to disable screen readers elsewhere because that allows them to sell more audiobooks. You will apparently also lose many other features, among them Asian scripts and developer mode.

Nineties called and they want their shitty export grade computing back. Anyone still remember OpenBSD?

Look, we're always telling our bosses to stop micromanaging us. UB is just the compiler telling us to stop micromanaging it!

Turns out intelligence gathering is pretty boring routine work, not Bond-esque spy stuff or stakeouts in camo nets and face paint.

So... because of risk of retaliatory litigation I have to sit on vuln reports for one month while black hats are free to roam.

If you grew up in a junkyard, getting adjusted to the social norms of a bazaar might feel like your way of life is being threatened.

> There are no other choices.

Fail safe noisily and implement a cooldown period.

Most online merchants redirect me to my bank's web page when I enter my Visa credit card number. In theory it should be possible to have a card number that by itself is useless and always requires an external confirmation?

Removing code paths that the programmer has explicitly laid out in the source code should be made a hard compile error unless the operation has been tagged with an attribute (anyone who wants to add the unsafe keyword to C? ).

Another commenter suggested using LLMs, but I disagree. Having clangd emit warning squiggles for unchecked operations (like signed addition) would be a good start.

Without AI, both writing and reading code are bottlenecks.

How many times have you reviewed your old code and been appalled at the terrible quality? You personally created slop; it's no different from GenAI output except that a human had to spend precious time crafting it. You likely were indeed bottlenecked by your ability to churn out code that you just had to get to work, for one reason or another.

The real issue is in the asymmetry when one party can use automation to create more code than another party can possibly manually verify.

Those ATtiny85 boards that plug directly into a USB port are great if you need 1 to 5 GPIOs and/or a HID interface. At 2 dollars apiece or so it's worth having a few around.

When my mom remarried, her new husband started to manipulate her and isolate her from other relatives, trying to turn everyone against each other. The last time I met her, I was basically talking to two copies of him.

I've already dealt with the fact that I will not get my mom back.

The author argues that writing code cannot be a bottleneck because work always fills up the allotted time. Developer teams should instead focus on doing less and writing better specifications.

The error in the reasoning is that while you can increase your resourcing to tenfold and gain nothing in return, the inverse is not necessarily true.

That site itself violates at least "similarity", "proximity" and "common region" as everything is sorted in one alphabetical list.

We were on self-hosted Gitlab but after a merger were forced to Github. Navigation feels painful in comparison and basic features such as commit graph are now behind more expensive tiers.

Biometrics are "what you are", not "what you know" or "what you have".

Voice fingeprinting is essentially useless because it is easily recorded and reproduced.

> that it looks just like an Apple system notification and it disappears without a trace afterward

Probably so-called SMS flash messages. They're shown as overlay popups on Android too.

Is there an alternative to archive.(is|ph|whatever)? The Kremlin sympathizer admin is still blocking my country at both DNS and Cloudflare level.

We should also also embrace offline mode more. Disable all network connections until you make a conscious choice to go online. Heck, make a Windows 3.1-esque GUI for it and call it Trombone Winsock just for fun.

If any program complains it needs network connectivity for offline features, it goes into the Recycle Bin.

A very real use case I can see would be Palestine supporters defacing Israeli product labels here (don't shoot the messenger, please).

Nah. Our CEO just fires everyone who asks for a raise because they're a liability now.

FWIW, this is in a country that supposedly has really strong unions and worker protections.

What I say: This is not ready for production.

What management hears: We can sell this to the customer for acceptance testing.

You can spend too much time communicating and not communicate enough at the same time. Effectiveness is the key here.

Depends on the degrees of separation between you and the draft author.

I guess we both agree that both humor and sarcasm are difficult to convey on the internet and LLMs do not make the job any easier :-)

Preferably with even-numbered ones.

OAuth8, you surely meant.
