I'm in my armchair thinking autoimmune diseases.

I don't think this community of professionals is going to come around to a solution which requires marginally more effort. If no one checks their dependencies, the solution is to centralize this responsibility at the package repository

You seem to be partly arguing from a position of ignorance. The trans-ness some people experience is extremely general and durable, far more consistent with the explanation that they innately are their gender somehow[^1], than with choice

I'm not trying to define away biology here. Although "sex" is surprisingly hard to nail down. Rather, I'm arguing the underlying motivation for creating these categories was and is a sociological one. Why carve out women

by allreduce 6mo ago
I'm claiming that there were always women with outlier biology which is not at all easy to classify and not obvious at a glance. People caring about this issue in sports now and changing the objective admission criteria to exclude them

by allreduce 6mo ago
The classification has always been based on sociological conceptions and is still based on such after this change. There have always been outliers who are sociologically women, but don't have the biological makeup most women have. That

No need to get fancy. A yubikey glued to a tungsten cube would have prevented this attack. Thats 50€ for the yubikey and 300€ for the tungsten cube.

This helping the vulnerable framing is naive at best. This is about an American ad company consolidating their power over what people can do with devices they bought and are reliant on daily. Helping the vulnerable should not involve that.

You can emulate latency, packet errors, etc using netem tc [0] on Linux. [0]: https://man.archlinux.org/man/tc-netem.8.en

And the devs are responsible for finding a good technical solution under these constraints. If they can't, for communicating their constraints to the rest of the team so a better tradeoff can be found.

Mostly agree, but X11 does not fit well into the unix model either.

What's the mistake here? Shouldn't an incident report start with this and then continue with an analysis of the process, without too much "internal perspective"? In my mind, the internal perspective might be useful to jo

Not all software development will be automated immediatly. But I've noticed that many skills I've built are lessened in worth with every model release. Having a lot of specifics about a programming environment memorized for exampl

It commoditizes software construction. The resources to learn how to construct software are already free. However learning requires effort, which made learning to build software an opportunity to climb the ladder and build a better life thr

Doing hard things has consistently made me more generally (not only in the narrow hard thing) competent and comfortable with myself. Why go to the gym if you don't need physical strength? One needs to do something to not degenerate int

I'm starting to find the naive techno-optimism here annoying. If you don't have capital or can do something else you will be homeless.

I've got to ask. Is this kind of violent crime common or perceived as common in the US? If a stranger asked me for a ride home here my first thought wouldn't be that they want to attack me.

The point is that the tech companies don't. Agreeing to say, forced arbitration with a company, because you signed up for say, their streaming service, is obviously unconscionable. What would be even worse if those TOS said that you ha

If you need a bug to get fixed, hoping someone else is going to do it is not a good strategy anyway. Just fix the bug yourself. I think people are mostly just cargo culting tbh.

There are many explanations why these incidents could be rare but not impossible. These models are still stochastic and very good at picking up nuances in human speech. It may be simply unlikely to go off the rails like that or (more terrif

Not a lawyer, but that always seemed naively correct to me. However, the copyright system has always be a sham to protect US capital interests. So I would be very surprised if this is actually ruled/enforced. And in any case american l

I assume it's a deliberate choice. Where I live these old prepaid contracts are still available next to the offerings you describe and are preferred by some older people and minimalists.

Honestly I feel like something important was yanked from under my feet. Computers were always an escape for me, then a starting career, something that helped me get started in life. Wow, those things I learned while spending nights making t

Are there more security disadvantages besides the obvious when giving one app like Termux root access? The obvious being that you trust Termux and all binaries running in it with total access to your system. I am mainly looking to access my
