For those who might want to watch it, the episode is called "Common People", and it's a pretty brutal one.

I wanna say Berkeley Mono [1] because it's what I use and it looks very familiar, but I'm generally bad at font stuff. I typed out the text from the image and looked at it side by side and didn't notice anything obviously dif

Oh wow the coss.com thing makes this so much worse. Making such an aggressive and public commitment to open source to then turn around and do something like this is a pretty rough look.

This certainly makes me feel better about the project I started a few months ago to replace my Cal.com instance with a smaller, simpler self-hosted tool https://git.sr.ht/~bsprague/schedyou

"Above average" is underselling it: the US has by far the the highest incarceration rates of the rich world [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarcera...

One example I can think of is Google + Project Maven [1], where Google was partnering with the DoD but "withdrew in 2018 after internal protests". Though they've since partnered with the DoD on other initiatives [2]. [1] htt

In the age of LLMs, it wouldn't be hard to build a UI on top of a Wikipedia dump [1] that satisfied any particular idea of serendipitous flipping. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

That's a bummer, especially since folks normally use the ".rs" TLD for Rust projects, so the (perhaps accidental) implication from the domain is that this is a Rust project with the source available somewhere.

Obligatory shout-out to Berkeley Mono [1], which understandably isn't on this site because it's a paid font. I really enjoy the customizer that comes with it, I use the font on all my terminal/IDE environments, as well as on

I don't think that's a charitable take of the article. To many programmers, it wouldn't be obvious that some of these footguns (autoboxing, string concatenation, etc) are "bad", or what the "good" alternat

Looking at the patch itself (linked in the article), the description has this: > We now support configuring bandwidth up to ~1 Tbps (overflow in m2sm at m > 2^40). So I think that's it, 2^40 is ~1.099 trillion

It makes sense that each "stick" needs to be higher density since you can fit far fewer of them flat on a motherboard (especially true for servers, I'm curious to see what that'll look like).

I use Jujutsu in mostly the same way at work. I have a `jj review <branch or PR number>` alias that checks out a copy, and then I do the review with three copies open: the IDE (for quick navigation and LSP integration), the diff (i.e

For reference for Kobo in particular: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools I recently threw an LLM at it to turn the Obok plugin into a statically linked CLI in Rust, it works great.

Wouldn't a hash work great for this purpose? I.e. 1. User requests for email alice@example.com to be removed from database 2. Company removes "alice@example.com" from 'emails' table 3. Company adds 00b7d3...eff98f t

Yeah it would have been nice to end with "and here's a five-line shell script to check if your project is likely affected". But to their credit, they do have an open-source tool [1], I'm just not willing to install a big

Came here looking for this. The Logi+ Options app is, as others have noted, less than stellar. I just want to control the zoom, flip, and coloring on my MX Brio.

Same with RSA and other things, I think the author's point is that slapping your name on an algorithm is a pretty big move (since practically, you can only do it a few times max in your life before it would get too confusing), and so i

My /24 came from ARIN's NRPM 4.10 block [1]. Basically, you can get a /24 if you'll use it to help IPv6 adoption, which is what I'm doing: my web hosting service will offer shared IPv4 and dedicated IPv6 (like Fly.i

The approach I've outlined scales fine to N servers, it just doesn't work if they're on different networks. But scaling also isn't really a parameter I (or the author) are optimizing for: we have a single beefy server we

I have a very similar setup to the author, but instead of running Tailscale in my initramfs, I have a Raspberry Pi sitting next to the home server (which is on my Tailscale network) and I use it like a bastion host. Process is something l
