oauea··on I love building a startup in Rust but wouldn't pick it again
Hardly, it's a fantastic guardrail when combined with health checks. You can say "you don't need it", but everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Make those mistakes not matter. You also take backups, right? Same idea.

Not really, just do a rolling deployment like you should be doing anyway. No one cares if the new version takes 1 millisecond to start up or 3 seconds because they literally won't notice.
oauea··on How Spotify's podcast bet went wrong
If you're on desktop, https://spicetify.app/ & https://github.com/theRealPadster/spicetify-hide-podcasts
oauea··on 50% rejection rate for iPhone casings produced in India shows Apple’s challenge
Noticed the same thing. Even implying that what management wanted wasn't realistic would make them incredibly uncomfortable.
oauea··on Reddit Confirms It Was Hacked–Recommends Users Set Up 2FA
If you're a spammer then yeah, there's value to be had. But for moral people there really isn't any.
oauea··on The entire prompt of Microsoft Bing Chat?
Probably hallucinated
oauea··on Google's Bard shows incorrect information in its launch ad
Microsoft really missed out by not having the bing AI assistant be clippy-based
oauea··on Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
Not me. I've tried on Chrome/Firefox on Linux and Edge/Chrome/Firefox on Windows. Both logged in and out. From EU.

Dead link that redirects to bing.com
oauea··on Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
Am I missing something? That link just shows the usual search results.

Did they not roll this out in the EU yet or something?

oauea··on How much can you get out of a $4 VPS?
Just keep in mind your disk can get zapped at any time, so keep backups and use raid if possible.
oauea··on Go 1.20 released
Try google.
oauea··on Go 1.20 released
FUD
oauea··on Stop the proposal on mass surveillance of the EU
Send police to deal with the situation. If that is not possible for some reason, then that is the problem that needs fixing. You don't need murderbots.
oauea··on Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now
When you dig deeper, you will indeed find that the public reason for these kind of restrictions is "to keep the user safe".

They claim to be worried about malware installing their own extensions, so they lock everything down. As if that same malware wouldn't just patch the firefox binary to allow loading unsigned extensions.

It's ridiculous and obviously meant as a first step towards a walled garden. It's very unfortunate that firefox followed google in this.

> Chrome is customizable too

Not really. Got a link to a Tree Style Tab that properly renders itself in a chrome sidebar? Because that's still not possible.

oauea··on The unequal treatment of demographic groups by ChatGPT/OpenAI content moderation
My point is that it's perceived that way within America. But the internet is larger than just America. And presumably/hopefully ChatGPT gobbled up all kinds of data originating from other countries.

No worries, it took about 10 seconds to copy paste that
oauea··on The unequal treatment of demographic groups by ChatGPT/OpenAI content moderation
> The latter has historically been perceived as more respectful

Maybe if you only consider Americans. But rest assured, many black people do not want to be called African or American. Because they are neither.

oauea··on The following security updates require Ubuntu Pro with ‘esm-apps’ enabled
Paywalling security updates is evil. Goodbye ubuntu.
oauea··on Stop the proposal on mass surveillance of the EU
The answer is yes. Murdering other humans who have no way to see it coming and no way to defend themselves is deeply evil. Especially when you factor in the murder of innocents (also referred to as collateral damage), and the facts that mistakes happen.
oauea··on Stop the proposal on mass surveillance of the EU
Don't call encryption illegal. That's letting them shape the narrative.
oauea··on Stop the proposal on mass surveillance of the EU
The reason is, and always has been, to enable lazy police work. They won't have to do their jobs if facebook will just tell them who the criminals are.
oauea··on Go 1.20 released
Useful enough to be included in the standard library. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/57436#issuecomment-14125...
oauea··on Go 1.20 released
Because it's extremely useful to have adaptable data structures, without byzantine code generation?

I don't need some half-baked language model to stand up for myself. Thanks, though.

> - That climate change is real, and that humans are causing it

Not a political point. This is fact.

> - That vaccines are effective, including the COVID-19 vaccine

Not a political point. This is fact.

> - That COVID-19 is not a hoax; that it is a deadly illness

Not a political point. This is fact.

> - That masks are effective in limiting the transfer of airborne pathogens

Not a political point. This is fact.

> - That Joe Biden won the US presidential election in 2020

Not a political point. This is fact.

> - That former Pres. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii

Not a political point. This is fact.

Any others?

This is a joke, right?
oauea··on Nim and Go programs identified by Carbon Black as malware on Windows
These companies should be held legally responsible for defamation.
oauea··on FYI: LLVM-project repo has exceeded GitHub upload size limit (2022)
> As it turns out, we only run repacks on a repository network level, which means that repacks need to consider objects from all forks of a given repository.

> Repacking entire repository networks will always lead to less optimal pack sizes compared to repacking just objects from a single fork. For GitHub, disk space is not the only thing we optimize for, but also performance across forks and client performance.

So the lesson here is you can DoS existing open source projects somehow by forking them and increasing the forked repo size >2GB?
