ishouldbework··on Don't let anyone take away your big box of cables
And the types in general differ in size as well. Type-4 cable physically does not fit into Type-5 PSU (well, reading this thread, this probably saved me from burned system...)
ishouldbework··on Cop Explains Why He Used License Plate Reader to Stalk Woman
To be fair, the full quote is

> I can’t tell you what to post or not post, but if you could refrain from posting anything until my investigation is over, I would appreciate it.

emphasis mine, given that, "The detective urged the victim not post about it" seems like taking things bit out of context.

ishouldbework··on Fable Converted Pylint to Rust
I wonder how it handles pylint's plugins.
ishouldbework··on Ping-pong robot beats top-level human players
> Is it possible South Koreans edge in RTS games is from their compulsory military service?

Unlikely, most players postpone their service as long as possible, and majority does not play professionally again after completing it.

ishouldbework··on Trivy under attack again: Widespread GitHub Actions tag compromise secrets
So, fork the action repository and pull from upstream at your own pace?
ishouldbework··on Rebasing in Magit
While faster Emacs would always be nice, I think the idea is you just keep it running. Hence emacsclient program. So startup time is not such a big deal.
ishouldbework··on New benchmark shows top LLMs struggle in real mental health care
Finding a licensed therapist, especially one covered by health insurance, who takes new patients, can be a challenge in some areas. So while it obviously is a bad idea, I can hardly blame people in a bad place looking for at least some help.
ishouldbework··on Acme, a brief history of one of the protocols which has changed the Internet
That should be prevented by dnssec no?
ishouldbework··on Tech Titans Amass Multimillion-Dollar War Chests to Fight AI Regulation
> most of the population [..] can vote.

I mean, this is a solvable problem...

ishouldbework··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
Fair. My "information" is based on what I heard in my network. :)
ishouldbework··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
Well, speaking just for central Europe, it is pretty average. Sure, entry-level positions are different story, but anyone with at least few years for work experience can find reasonably payed job fairly quickly.
ishouldbework··on Checkout.com hacked, refuses ransom payment, donates to security labs
Interesting, that number is much higher than I would expect.
ishouldbework··on Leaving Meta and PyTorch
Look, I get that some pages require javascript, but

    <style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style>
which is then unset by JS, with no <noscript> anywhere, is just... I just get white page.

Changing it to

    <style class="fallback">body{white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:monospace}</style>
gives perfectly readable web, so it seem bit... pointless.
ishouldbework··on Firefox profiles: Private, focused spaces for all the ways you browse
Huh, I had no idea the <profile> argument to -P is optional (--help does not say), I was always using --ProfileManager instead. Nice quality of life improvement, thanks for the information!
ishouldbework··on The grim truth behind the Pied Piper (2020)
I do not believe that is dang's point. He often posts comments like these under recurring posts, I assume in hope that the past discussions could also be of interest to the readers.
ishouldbework··on Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change
Well yes, but the complication is that Luca is both systemd developer and debian developer, so the passing of the baton did not really happen here.
ishouldbework··on Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change
Funny part is that it used to be a separate file system, before Luca decided to kill it. https://lwn.net/Articles/1041948/
ishouldbework··on Element: setHTML() method
I did not notice setHTMLUnsafe exists. That makes it (in my, unimportant, opinion) fine.
ishouldbework··on Element: setHTML() method
> It then removes any HTML entities that aren't allowed by the sanitizer configuration, and further removes any XSS-unsafe elements or attributes — whether or not they are allowed by the sanitizer configuration.

Emphasis mine. I do not understand this design choice. If I explicitly allow `script` tag, why should it be stripped?

If the method was called setXSSSafeSubsetOfHTML sure I guess, but feels weird for setHTML to have impossible-to-override filter.

ishouldbework··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
Electricity is not a basic commodity required for life. It is convenient for sure.
ishouldbework··on Pwning the Nix ecosystem
Well, anything POSIX or GNU does support the --. I think most golang libraries as well? And if the program does not, you can always pass the files as relative paths (./--help) to work around that.

For sure though, this can get tricky, but I am not really aware of an alternative. :/ Since the calling convention is just an array of strings, there is no generic way to handle this without knowing what program you are calling and how it handles command line. This is not specific to xargs...

Well, I guess FFI would be a way, but it seems like a major PITA to have to figure out how to call a golang function from bash shell just to "call" a program.

ishouldbework··on I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'
So, uh, this part "Here's the kicker: the URL died exactly 24 hours later. These guys weren't messing around - they had their infrastructure set up to burn evidence fast." was completely made up by the AI or did you provide the "exactly 24 hours later" information out of band in some chat with the AI?
ishouldbework··on Pwning the Nix ecosystem
> It is not possible for xargs to be used securely

Eh... That is taken out of context quite a bit, that sentence does continue. Just do `cat "$HOME/changed_files" | xargs -r editorconfig-checker --` and this specific problem is fixed.

ishouldbework··on Why did Crunchyroll's subtitles just get worse?
Oooh I see, thanks!
ishouldbework··on Why did Crunchyroll's subtitles just get worse?
Word of the day, 吹き替える. TIL.

One question if you have a minute. Why is it アメリカだけに吹き替えされている instead of 英語だけに吹き替えされている?

ishouldbework··on Gem.coop
Well, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10611-024-10144-y seems to claim there is a link for sexual crimes. This paper suggests that there is some delayed effect https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092753712....

Cannot speak for the US, but in Europe immigration is connected to crime increase in general. The Ukraine refugees are one of few statistical exceptions.

"will put me into a torture camp" for sure, but "devalues my life or personhood" is pretty vague. So, for example, if I value guns and consider them necessary for my well being and personal safety, should I refuse to work with anyone who votes for increased gun control? This sounds like a recipe for very fragmented, unstable society.
ishouldbework··on Structured Procrastination (1995)
Can you make the browser window smaller?
ishouldbework··on Apple takes down ICE tracking apps after pressure from DOJ
We do not have DUI checkpoints in my country, but I would assume they delay the travel due to being, you know, checkpoint. So it might be desirable to take alternative route if you do not want to spend time waiting for the check. I guess?

I strongly doubt this was a reason for the app though.
