siwatanejo··on Copy Fail, Dirty Frag, and Fragnesia kernel vulnerabilities
Errr.. are you saying that Linux contributors are only affiliated to small companies or volunteers? Well, last time I checked, some contributors were RedHat(IBM) and Microsoft employees ;)
siwatanejo··on GitHub Compromised
Good point. Then why in the world would a company have 3,500 repos? Do they create a repo for each employee?
siwatanejo··on GitHub Compromised
It's normal that a dev has *access* to all the code.

But did he clone all the repos into his machine? I doubt it. So, the hacker extracted all the 3800 repos using the employee's machine as a gateway? I doubt it as well, I'm sure they would have detected this huge amount of data much earlier than transferring all of it?

> The real question is why github has 3800 internal repos.

I guess they mean customer's private repos?

siwatanejo··on AI eats the world (Spring 26) [pdf]
Yes, so our buildings' windows will be solar panels, what's wrong with that? And all our floors can be data centers, what's wrong with that?
siwatanejo··on AI eats the world (Spring 26) [pdf]
What's wrong with that? There are now materials that allow you to have solar panels on a window (so they are not opaque anymore), and we can put data centers under our feet.
siwatanejo··on Servo is now available on crates.io
wait, Servo is a js engine? I thought it was only about rendering websites
siwatanejo··on Lisette a little language inspired by Rust that compiles to Go
F# is very similar to python because it's based on indentation instead of curly braces. And with Fable you can transpile it to Rust (or Python even): https://github.com/fable-compiler/fable
siwatanejo··on MAUI Is Coming to Linux

siwatanejo··on MAUI Is Coming to Linux
Almost nobody needs accessibility; let's be realistic, it's obviously not a priority. The priority is to put this out the door (MVP style).
siwatanejo··on Yann LeCun raises $1B to build AI that understands the physical world
LesLabs would have sounded more French ;)
siwatanejo··on Agent Safehouse – macOS-native sandboxing for local agents
It's kinda funny that I, being skeptical about coding agents and their potential dangers, was interested to give your project a go because I don't trust AI.

Yet the first thing I find in your README is that to install your tool I need to trust some random server serve me an .sh file that I will execute in my computer (not sure if with sudo... but still).

Come on man, give me a tarball :)

EDIT: PS: before someone gives me the typical "but you could have malware in that tarball too!!!", well, it's easier to inspect what's inside the tarball and compare it to the sources of the repo, maybe also take a look at the CI of the repo to see if the tarball is really generated automatically from the contents of the repo ;)

siwatanejo··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
/me stops buying Samsung and waits for next Motorola Flip

How do you know? Each word is one token?

hahahaa
siwatanejo··on Functional programming and reliability: ADTs, safety, critical infrastructure
Return type DUs are so much better than checked exceptions.
siwatanejo··on It’s time to free JavaScript (2024)
I actually think that people should rather use EcmaScript name instead of JavaScript, because it's a way better name (much less confusing, given that this lang doesn't have anything to do with Java anyway). I wish Oracle started suing people to force everyone to use the better name.
siwatanejo··on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
I upvoted you.
siwatanejo··on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
I guess they require a credit card before accessing that free tier?
siwatanejo··on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
Actually, seems TailScale is also a vendor? huh, and I thought it was an opensource project...
siwatanejo··on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
But is this vendor-lockin, as in CloudFlare being the vendor here? Because at least with Tailscale there's no vendor lock-in.
siwatanejo··on Ask HN: How to deal with long vibe-coded PRs?
Ok great. Now that it aligns, how valuable it is? Is it a deadly & terrific feature? Then maybe you should review it. It's just fixing a nitpick? Then ask the contributor to find a less verbose change.
siwatanejo··on Ask HN: How to deal with long vibe-coded PRs?
Are you kidding me? You should be able to explain from the user PoV what does the PR achieve, a new feature? a bugfix?

That data point is waaaaaay more important than any other when considering if you should think about reviewing it or not.

siwatanejo··on Ask HN: How to deal with long vibe-coded PRs?
Forget about code for a second. This all depends a lot of what goal does the PR achieve? Does it align with the goals of the project?
siwatanejo··on The anti-abundance critique on housing is wrong
did you just well-actually'ed me?
siwatanejo··on Claude Sonnet 4 now supports 1M tokens of context
I do think AIs are already using abstractions, otherwise you would be submitting all the source code of your dependencies into the context.

> you can literally just claim a new highrise

> will block your sunlight and make you sad

If a high-rise blocks a single electron of my apartment's normal sunlight, it would definitely make me sad.

siwatanejo··on Gitea Private, Fast, Reliable DevOps Platform
Cool! And does GiteaCloud have macOS&Windows agents?
siwatanejo··on I've launched 37 products in 5 years and not doing that again
Haha brilliant. I remember my ex going to courses from guys that claimed to have become successful "entrepreneurs", and when I asked her what's their main income from? She told me: well, selling courses. (PS: So the course basically consisted of teaching them how to speak in public lolololol.)
