The xz backdoor should've been a wake up call for everyone subscribing to the classic cargo cult that "malware can't exist in open-source software". All the payload was submitted through auditable code that was cleverly

> If a growing number of people have the sentiment that an engineer vibecoding an idea has less value than a human doing it then that is all that will matter in the end. Because if you put them on balance that will be the truth.

I am facing that very dilemma. I lean more to the anti-AI side, I don't want to get my skills atrophied by relying on it, but I recognize its potential productivity boosts as tempting to use.

Most of his restoration work on videos limited to just being cosmetic at best with his expertise just being retrobriting. When there was an issue on the motherboard, he almost always outsourced to his more tech-savy friends to fix it for hi

Since memory is becoming an expensive commodity, I guess the old ways of being precious on the efficient memory usage of your program (like it running on the constrained 1mb memory back then) are making a comeback. I only feel sorrow for th

Jetpack compose is very refreshing to use, it integrates well with Kotlin DSL capabilities. My only problem is its Web target is still very dull to use, with its long cold startup time and since it's all rendered into one big canvas el

I see no reason those emulators wouldn't fall under the Blunded App rule, they "execute code" (interpret instructions). It's just Apple enforcing their rules when they see fit...

Apple enforces their rules rather arbitrarily. Wouldn't emulators also fit the definition of self blunded apps? Anyway, I am glad I have never owned any Apple products in my life. They can screw themselves with their tight grip on user

That isn't the same thing. It's you're using AI tool to code, obviously the tool should be given due credits on the commits, for ethics. but in this case Microslop is branding any commits as "co-authored by Copilot&quo

I'm more impressed by the fact they accepted it upstream, specially for an OS target that is long gone from the market and has virtually no users. Usually upstream projects would reject such PRs under the reason they just increase main

I find that a very bold move, how will they reivent the wheel on the man-years of optimization work went into LLVM to their own compiler infrastructure?

Which is still a crazy claim considering Rust is often told about having strong bureaucracy around even sharing variables (borrow checker).

I find that an exaggerated claim, have you really checked they aren't using a webview or some other non-native runtime?
