lols, what about the sendfile and other vulnerabilities that lasted decades. Linux just does not have a secure mentality, it has a hacker mentality, maybe acceptable for a lot of uses, but it is what it is.

I think I kept skipping each 5 minutes until I got to something interesting and then was at the end of the video. What is his point?

I wonder if we're back to peer to peer networks with proof of useful work (e.g. serving read requests) vs proof of wasted work.

yeah it is so mad: TITLE=$(echo '${{ github.event.issue.title }}' | sed 's/"/\\"/g' | sed "s/'/\\\'/g") Even in ruby it would have been something like TITLE=she

Most customer value is in trust. If the LLM has pretty good judgement and easy to configure sandbox then fewer bad experiences by customers equals better trust. So it is clearly a dimension LLM providers are completing on. I don't want

How is it going to work for corporate customers. What if one us employee writes claude output into a ticket, can that be read by a non us citizen employee? What about paraphrased?

The big bet here is that anthropic stays ahead of the curve and is the goto tool for businesses. The risk is disruption to that leader position, or that it can't sell all those tokens because the value/cost ratio is too lower for

I'd like write program / run program / debug program to be as easy as it is in roblox. It isn't that easy though, the set of things you need to do it well is extensive. I wouldn't be averse to a new platform, one in

Scrolling through those images it just feels like intellectual theft on a massive scale. The only place I think you're going to get genuinely new ideas is from humans. Whether those humans use AI or not I don't care, but the repet

I think if your university doesn't do in person exams with pen and paper then the degrees it hands out are not much evidence of anything. If you're not interested in learning the course content, then what are you doing there? Pret

Even with anyhow there is a lot of boilerplate it seems to me dealing with crates that don’t use it. I haven’t tried snafu but its name does not inspire confidence. Clanker (ai assistant) also love to unwrap and if you don’t catch them you

I do feel like better application sandboxing is needed but so much open source software is built on the Unix abstraction meaning you have to run in a container, but macOS doesn’t have containers as far as I can see, and containers themselve

Looks a bit like Rust. My peeve with Rust is that it makes error handling too much donkey work. In a large class of programs you just care that something failed and you want a good description of that thing: context("Loading config

I think that vibe coding now with anthropic tools and the latest model means that the cost of writing integration tests is significantly reduced. When the company ships a large product that has components from many teams, there is still a r

It looks from the public writeup that the thing programming the DNS servers didn't acquire a lease on the server to prevent concurrent access to the same record set. I'd love to see the internal details on that COE. I think when t

I actually prefer a game where the rules mostly come from the DM. I think it is better if there is no players handbook. The characters develop along their story arc, e.g. at some point you character acquires new powers, e.g. your character

People say don't reinvent the wheel usually in a business context because writing from scratch is usually a lot more work than using existing technologies. Sure reusing technologies is also a lot more work than you would expect because

Me no like inconsistent use of spaces. x += labelW+20; hDescEdit = createModernEdit(hwnd, x, y, editW, btnH, ID_DESC_EDIT); x += editW + gap; What no clang-format or equiv in 1990?

Am I alone in thinking that all the stuff I get for free (in exchange for some amount of targeted advertising) from Google is pretty cool and that these attempts to break up big tech are going to be very bad for consumers and the economy an

Games are much easier than real work and provide more consistent dopamine hits with their graphics, sound effects and feeling of progression. Factorio while fun is a long way from real work.

There seem to be a bunch of folks for whom shaking the legs is an important part of the process. Can be a bit distracting to others in a team workspace. It makes me wonder whether they should have bicycle desks.

I can't help but wonder whether the major problem is actually API changing from version to version of software and keeping everything compatible. If the build language is LUA, doesn't it support top level variables. It probably ju

From the Linux conference video I watched I think they have the wrong approach. They’re trying to improve a bad api by adding types do describe it’s awkward behavior. The C programmers who love the Linux style want to be able to change sema

It is a fail/succeed mindset rather than a play mindset I imagine. I definitely feel a difference between a chore and a game. That said not all chores are easily turned into games. But seeking games over chores probably leads to a happ

Any chance of a window manager that lets you alt tab between windows instead of between applications. So Alt-tab-tab-tab takes you 3 windows ago, not 3 applications ago, or worse 1 application ago and 2 unrelated windows of that application

When is the government going to realize that software and business process patents are bullshit and that they should be wholesale dismantled. I suspect the same should be true for mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering. Eg TSMC doesn’t
