I'm as anti-AI as they come and I mostly think everyone involved in this is making their respective projects and ecosystems look worse for it here. Andrew was still way out of line in making many of the points included in this post, yo

"If this was a tweet people would be fine with it" Actually, some folks do care about how the leader and public face of a project conduct themselves regardless of venue. If a different public figure ie some CEO wrote something rep

Other people (not meaning this about you) very frequently seem to throw around the BFDL acronym uncritically without remembering or caring that Benevolent is the first word in there. This blog post is mostly made up of pettiness and is not

Yes but through iterative ratcheting, some portion of that unsafe can likely be migrated to idiomatic code without unsafe. And the other 96% of the code now has more mechanical guarantees than it did before. Static linting in Rust via clipp

Andrew's online social behavior is largely a streak of pettiness imo. This is not even close to the first time I've seen him write something I felt was overtly mean spirited, not just euphemistically "blunt". "Was s

A lot of what else Stephen Diehl has published lately is more overtly slop, so it's a pretty safe bet.

The paid component in question here is not necessary to use Iroh, though. You can have elaborate Iroh-based projects entirely based on the OSS components without losing features and without paying anything. There are public relays and self-

Not affiliated, just a happy dev. Nothing about Iroh usage as operator or end-user entails billable metering of keys, clients, QUIC endpoints, bytes transferred etc and to be honest you could deploy pretty extensive Iroh-based software with

Iroh is free-to-use, permissively licensed, relays are self-hostable, and it's all fully open source for all necessary components. The only proprietary thing n0 visibly has is a managed platform for private relays with SLAs and observa

Relays can't observe the contents of traffic per the design, but if censorship was possible and meaningful based on the tuples of the paired connection endpoints, I guess? The public number0 relays are (honor-system) running the open s

Presumably this has significant literal costs (because Cisco) and maybe a hardware or virtual-appliance requirement?

That is a pluggable/possible, but non-default, configuration.

I'm a heavily skeptical reader on the topic but I didn't really see anything more than "here's a couple ways that we find the tech useful". It didn't feel like much of an actual refutation of the commentary tha

"The gangsters do it and get away with it so any random person should get to as well"? Not a particularly defensible position if that's an accurate paraphrase.

What is the specific concrete purpose of downloading millions of URLs per hour across different domains if it's "not doing anything wrong"?

If Slint's licensing terms don't bother you, that's cool. They are more restrictive than most of the Rust ecosystem being dual Apache/MIT, though.

Was there some new developments with this project that renewed interest recently? I started learning Rust in 2018 or 2019 and I think "good Rust GUI" research is probably at least that old.

Why would it be more spooky if Apple in particular did this vs all the other hardware vendors that ship a pre-installed OS?

Doesn't serve the same purpose as OP, but for the opposite direction, `git maintenance register` is a built in if all you need is periodic fetching and GC: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-maintenance#Documentation&#x2

Small nit, but PR description bodies might wind up as part of a commit message verbatim, depending on repo settings and the merger's personal behavior. It's an easy outcome, the merger doesn't need to copy and paste or anythi

It has once even force pushed to github, which doesn't allow branch protection for private personal projects. This is only restricted for *fully free* accounts, but this feature only requires a minimum of a paid Pro account. That sta

Colorful is an odd way to spell "vocally bigoted".

The amount of questions I fielded about web3, coins, ledgers, etc as an IC speaking with customers or internal leadership was around an order of magnitude lower, and well-known brands weren't trying to sell me any of them. It was much

Not limited to here, of course. Net-new publications to ArXiv for some (most?) CS subcategories are >=90% about models, transformers, training, quantization, or some other directly related field, or how to apply these towards a different

A demo as "the future of" something doesn't really resonate with me. It's like saying a melodic motif and a couple well-written lines of lyrics are "the future of" my new music career.

If you haven't heard of it yet, Mergiraf uses tree-sitter grammars to resolve merges using syntax-aware logic and has a pretty good success rate for my work.

Not speaking for others, but Niko's writing is IMO strongly shading the wording used to describe positions that do or don't align with his own views.

Because people who enjoyed working with Elixir otherwise but don't want to participate or support that kind of environment have mostly left when the trend became clear. So the folks who are sticking around are the ones who are neutral-
