It generally refers to a group of “normal” people. E.g in some context they are an “out” group that does not have some specialized knowledge or understanding that the “in” group would have. So it can be negative, but it generally just means

The nomenclature could use some polish, but on HN we know they mean ability to bypass technological restrictions .

Each layer needs more than one safeguard then. If breaking the layer breaks the system then the layer needs better safe guards.

The xz backdoor would have been a yawn instead the many hands fire drill it was at most big orgs. It was scary.

Yes, cel-go. But it is all the same expression language. It is used in a number of places in GCP for example. Attribute based ACLs, and such.

Disclaimer: this is a neat project. DSLs are such a trap for most projects that think they need them. Use lua or something off the shelf for scripting. CEL exists for Go and (safely) solves many of the problems you might also want a DSL for

Only about 36% of US forests are older than 80 years old. They will grow back, but we should do our best to protect older growth forests.

And a VMM is going to require a lot of unsafe rust code. There are strategies to minimize it to make that surface easier to audit, but it is not a panacea for systems programming gremlins.

Use OIDC. It is based on Oauth. I would fiddle with implementing basic Oauth clients first. Like a Spotify playlist fetcher or something. Just to start getting a feel for the flows and things you would be concerned with.

Built my resume with typst and know of several other folks using it for serious document typesetting. It is a very nice and modern typesetting system and language that just feels easy to make it do what I want. It incorporates elements like

Wonder if this is like the old school benchmarks people would cheat on. Should not be hard to assemble a series of such puzzles and get a read on overall accuracy :)

There are just so many good examples. If you get stuck or aren’t sure you at least have safety rails.

They definitely are too much. Htmx, for example, continues to increase in popularity precisely because so many full stack devs are playing with it and it seems to solve their problems.

I play WoW still. It is very much a fun social group and hobby as much as it is gaming. We nerd out over the lore and shared experience in the game. It can be a very humanistic experience if that is what you want. I have played this game fo

Thanks. If you are reading and got this far, my link was probably a blog spam of the parent’s link and was the actual link I tried to find.

This is not a new theory: https://news.bitcoin.com/the-many-facts-pointing-to-cypherpu... There are several good much older articles and posts digging into Sassaman and Finley and the sort of cyberpunk scene from that regio

But it’s not true in practice. Pure simple XML vs JSON sure. XML you deal with in SAML has tons of extra things like namespaces, canonicalization issues, etc. it is way more complex and has led to many security issues over the years.

Yeah, see the other replies in here. It is just a mess of ancient cruft and unclear implementation guidelines.

by bitexploder 2y ago
Yeah, it is a gross morass of pain and cruft and unclear implementation for devs.

by bitexploder 2y ago
Lol, yeah, having SAML means putting XML parsing into critical security points. No thanks.

Active voice is difficult in technical and scientific writing for sure :)

Maybe the debunking AIs can match the bullshit generating AIs, and we will have balance in the force. Everyone is focused on the generative AIs, it seems.

I think you underestimate how high that bar is, but I will grant that it isn’t that high. It can be a form of sophistry all of its own. Still, it is a difficult skill to write clearly, simply, and without a lot of extravagant words.

This. I am very picky about how I use ML still, but it is unsurpassed as a virtual editor. It can clean up grammar and rephrase things in a very light way, but it gives my prose the polish I want. The thing is, I am a very decent writer. I

Or something like msp430, doing math on 16bit address space is fun and only 4 hex digits. All the concepts transfer.

Remember ~70% of their profit is AWS. The consumer business gives them massive revenues but costs dramatically more to operate.

The novelty to me is that the “The experience seemed roughly on par with trying to advise a mediocre, but not completely incompetent, graduate student.” in so many subject areas! I have found great value in using LLMs to sort things out. In

Oh, I see. Makes sense. I wonder if dust really can infiltrate a drive? Hmm.
