Only two commits have 'Co-Authored-By: Claude' and they're both PR contributions from a non-google email.

For feature parity, the old PC will require USB OTG, HDMI input, wiring for ATX control, and a software stack.

This is why I recently went with a PiKVM. Pricier and clunkier but much more open and transparent.

AlphaPhoenix mentions in the description that he wants to try and image an interference pattern, and it seems possible. Though it wouldn't really be showing you the quantum effect; that's only proven with individual photons at a t

Yep, and that's what I stick to today. I just worry how much longer until the remaining games that support this die out...

Agreed. To be more precise: I think the solution is small, community-run servers. This allows large, consistent groups of players to play together regularly with a much higher percentage of admins who can handle cheaters manually. I also ma

Even better: never use process.exit(). Set process.exitCode instead. https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#processexitcode

I know solo projects always have an infinite list of "nice to haves". But personally I never skimp on vendoring dependencies. In my experience, not vendoring has _always_ led to breakages that are hard to debug and fix. Meanwhile,

Avoiding side effects does not require inventing a brand new purely functional language programming language.

Tinc is incredible, it has worked flawlessly for me for 6+ years with exactly 0 maintenance. As trustworthy as it is, I am sadly on the hunt to replace it. Compared to wireguard, the throughput ain't great, and it takes way too much C

It is a weird example. But that transform does not work generally. Consider if you want to stop when insertIntoMouth() returns a particular value. Or if there is some filter() step, so that you don't know that `n` input items will map

I know multiple companies doing the same thing -- it's really great to use JSX that most JS shops will already know instead of introducing a whole other template language that (typically) have a brand new syntax, weird logic-in-html, a

This is a common thought but it certainly hasnt been the case at any of the bay area startups or faangs I have worked at or interviewed for. Always 40 hrs. Are there super heavy hustle places? Probably, but most places realize more time is

In every interview I've done, lunch was explicitly bracketed by "this is a free, casual lunch that won't affect your interview at all". And as an interviewer, I've never been asked to report on lunch chats. > You

There's tons of little details and inefficiencies in elisp that crop up such that easy things like "listen to responses" are hard to get fast. Random example: before native json support, large lsp responses (which can be mult

Plenty of server-rendered apps have been caught putting private data in responses. In this very same comment section people have mentioned the story of a state website that included teacher SSN's in hidden fields[1], and OJFord shared

Fair point, but I haven't hit it in practice. Tons of services are embracing docker as a first-class output. I just checked and I run exactly 2 images that are from a third party.

I feel for you. I also wasted a lot of very painful hours trying to get it to work. I even had it working for a while before a docker update broke it -- turns out docker-compose's ipv6 support that many people relied on for years was a

Lots of good points about the challenges of self-hosting throughout this thread, especially maintenance, security, and time-investment. Here's my solution to all of them: Invest in your common infra. Docker provides stable images confi

Is there really an epidemic of EE's who know how to use a field solver, but don't know to consider coupling between signal lines? My intuition is the opposite of yours: most EEs actually know the ideas from the Veritasium video. T

There's two bits of controversy: 1) Slander: He claims that the way EE is taught is a "lie" but leaves out the many ways that standard EE models agree with his result. 2) Clickbait / inadequate explanation: he leaves out

I find the focus on the employee being WFH very weird -- there's no justification for the remote work situation contributing to this theft. There's just a nebulous claim of too little oversight. But if Sony apparently allowed this

Their video on the front page contradicts itself. They highlight the UI coded by "user interaction" and no surprise, the Pocket button in the URL bar has tiny usage. And yet, in the new design? It's bigger and more prominent.

> git add --patch can help here, but it's still tedious work. This is pretty much the operative line of the post. Rather than invert my whole development flow, I just use a UI like Magit which makes patch commits trivial.

tl;dr of confidential computing: In normal cloud computing you are effectively trusting the cloud provider not to look at or modify your code and data. Confidential computing uses built in CPU features to prevent anyone from seeing what is

If you trust the CPU vendor to not be colluding with your cloud provider, and that the cloud provider hasn't found and exploited a hardware or software vulnerability in the enclave, then a successful remote attestation is a cryptograph
