I couldn't agree more. Thus far I'm still objectively more productive than all of the AI enthusiasts I've worked with. I think a lot of the activity with these tools is coming from people who just enjoy using them more than t

You're mistaking a compromised build pipeline versus a compromised source repo that only triggers in some build pipelines. You can do reproducible builds from compromised source tarballs. Nothing about reproducible builds necessarily r

No, it wouldn't. The xzutils attacker compromised the source repository. The build pipeline portions were used to obscure the purpose of the exploit embedded in the source code repository.

(Not OP, but...) I still fail to see the current value in confirming that a reproducing builder also included the same compromised dependency that I did when I built it. I understand that reproducible builds are guarding against dynamic att

I lived in DC for 5 years. From 2011 to 2014 and 2019 to 2020. I saw _a lot_ of cops, of nearly every jurisdiction, but never a national guard member.

My understanding of the claim is that the mainframe data is stored in a high fidelity format but some records simply lack a full year. At the time social security was instituted it was common for people to not know their own age precisely.

Unfortunately paying for these services to avoid ads will never work. It was first promised by cable TV when they first scaled out coaxial around the country. You paid for TV in part to not have ads. That worked great until the advertisers

Both TST and Sidebery are leagues ahead of tab groups IMHO. Frankly sidebar tabs just work better for 16:9 aspect ratio because with a maximized window most sites don't make good use of 1/4 of the width anyway.

When I initially read the htmx documentation I was confused because it kept talking about a hypermedia client. The context clues suggested they were referring to htmx but my brain kept saying "isn't the browser the hypermedia clie

The founder of neovim did briefly attempt to participate in the vim dev process. This was a few months later. The most relevant thread is here: https://groups.google.com/g/vim_dev/c/65jjGqS1_VQ/m/fFi

I feel the same way. Legacy vimscript certainly had some warts but vim9script has been much nicer IME than lua. Elsewhere I've likened vim9script to typescript 1.0. It has just enough types to be useful but not enough to let you go dow

I don't disagree with anything you've said but I would personally take this line of argument a step further. I think Bram learned from the neovim fork. Neovim bolstered the existing lua support by reducing the impedance mismatch b

This is all correct. To quote from the official description of vim9script: Vim9 script and legacy Vim script can be mixed. There is no requirement to rewrite old scripts, they keep working as before. You may want to use a few

This has entered the popular lore but I think it is easily proved false. The thread in question: https://groups.google.com/g/vim_dev/c/-4pqDJfHCsM/m/LSFNhqs2... My read of that thread was that the i

That is interesting to me because that isn't my experience. I just tried the lock screen for example and I couldn't get any of tabs to reload, foreground or not. I'm on Android 10 running on a Moto G7. Maybe it's affecte

This glosses over the outright fraud within the banking industry that was at the heart of the S&L crisis. Without the fraud there would have been enough assets and financial incentive to consolidate instead of liquidations. The Fed poli

If the image is accurate I think "motion led" would also be in scope for initial collection. There is a filtering process after the search term net that determines whether it is in scope for the warrant. Given the dubious framing

It is being likened to bubblesort in various places but your description (which I quite like) makes it seem like quicksort with an intentionally bad (worst possible?) bifurcation.
