As a web dev a lot of this is simply ongoing maintenance of a largely unknown quantity. Most web devs know React and use it extensively; Astro is something they'll have to learn on the job or hire for specifically. It's akin to wr

This was far more of an option in the 1980s and earlier; a CEO being compensated 20-30x a line employee was pretty standard around then; now it's closer to 250-300x. I think there's more optionality than we may assume, we've

This does suppose there are good jobs in the area, which can be a bit hit or miss especially out in the sticks. Not to say one couldn't move, but moving isn't in the cards for everyone.

> Taking this argument to its extreme, does this mean that introducing new technology always decreases technology? I assume you mean "decreases security" by context. And in that case - purely from a security standpoint - genera

In all fairness, a LOT of this was copied over from the military. From ranks to "High Year Tenure" (aka "Up or Out") nothing here is particularly innovative.

SKG is basically "right-to-repair" but for games. I do contend that if your phone breaks and the company says "we won't fix it and you aren't allowed to" then the government isn't doing its job. On the sam

The text "prevented further rollout and ultimately got the cameras shut down" is verbatim in their post maybe a few sentences after talking about how the muni piloted them.

Depends on the token; JWTs usually have payloads that are only base64 encoded. As well, if there's a refresh token in there it can be used to generate more tokens until invalidated (assuming invalidation is built in).

I don't consider myself fully qualified to speak to this, so please take it with a grain of salt. From what I gather it seems like you could potentially create scenarios where TOCTOU is indeed a problem, but in considering the situatio

I've only dabbled, so I'm happy to have people with more linux-side knowledge to call me out on any inaccuracies here, but... io_uring is effectively as "secure" as any other syscall unto itself. The issue is that the me

Similar sentiments here. I can't find much common ground with Charlie Kirk but that doesn't merit an assassination. Unfortunate all around, and a situation not too dissimilar from the Mangione case (in the context of what happened

The GP did not say anything about war continuing due to logical outcomes or nationally-motivated ones. Most wars simply are personal pursuits wrapped in convenient excuses.

Curious how we're defining "democracy" and "free market" with this one. I wonder how countries with a pure democracy and an actually free market compare to the republic and regulated market we have in the US.

Damn, what country is this in? Maybe the US could learn a thing or two from this level of attention to detail.

Yeah, I think they didn't mean max "accurate" integer and rather meant max "safe" integer.

They actually did NOT repeal the portion relevant to software development being considered research - it was actually made permanent and is pretty trivial to find by searching for "software development" against the text of the bil

In all fairness, plenty of people leaving the trappings of Big Tech are pretty capable of uprooting and doing business elsewhere; California offers relatively little other than what it has from existing inertia.

Partially! The text of the OBBBA actually made permanent the section of the tax code that treats software development as research and amortizes accordingly. However, because nothing can just be straightforward, it also allows domestic resea

My approach is to compliment the LLM on something I've not thought of and ask it to sell me on the approach, expound on its position, and ask probing questions. If I get a feeling something's off I just go do independent research

by seangrogg 1y ago
Not going to lie, this is one of the few reasons I use LLMs at all. Even if I feel like I have a decent idea if I don't have anyone around to listen I'll just lob thoughts at an AI just to ask for alternatives, dissenting opinions

You assume people are buying something because "both sides" are doing it. But what about those who aren't ideologically aligned with either end and instead exist in the space between?

I am currently in the process of implementing a TLV message protocol (think MsgPack, CBOR, etc). This is something I've been kicking tires on since my time at $BIGCORP; JSON without the bloat, Protobufs without the ceremony. I've

As you sort of allude to, YMMV. I moved from California to Nevada and literally all taxation went down. Income tax from progressive scheme nearing 10% to 0% Sales tax from ~9% to ~8% Property taxes are hard to pin to a single value, but wit

If there is a reason to want to in-house the fabrication of chips then it seems silly to not extend that to at least the boards that house them, otherwise we wind up still being reliant on an international supply chain which seems to defeat

A 5-20% markup on CPUs isn't the worst thing, but those still need a mobo to socket into and as far as I'm aware we still don't have much capability on the availability of boards. Are there any companies that are spinning up

Assuming you're locked in on the browser WebSockets are about as good as it gets at present. HTTP/3 requires WebTransport which has been a bit of a shitshow in terms of getting things up and running so far, in my experience.
