IMHO, yes. It's an attempt at remote code execution. If I don't like windows, should I add a if else clause that deletes the home directory if the code is running on windows?

This looks like a security nightmare in case someone decides to publish this interface publicly. Prompt injection to exfiltrate sensitive Information being on the top of the list.

Some content simplifies the problems to such a high degree, that this is more a game of "guess what I wanted you to answer" than anything else. Eg "Your only senior developer knows the entire code. He just asked for a 200% ra

I was thinking exactly this. People consume processed foods because they highjack our evolutionary responses. If GLP1 agonists make people immune to those high fat, big carb diets, perhaps we would see a decline of these strategies and inst

This is crazy. Tools like photoshoot have gen ai tools in them. Does that mean that Photoshop is now a minefield for artists? If a single artist uses the wrong tool once they disqualify the entire final product for awards, even if the asset

This is extremely interesting to me. I've been using docker swarm, but there is this growing feeling of staleness. Dokku feels a bit too light, K8 absolutely too heavy. This proposition strikes my sweet spot - especially the part where

Just make sure not to pick them from fertilized ground (like garden beds) as they may have high levels of nitrites (?). Pick them from wild areas

> investors are quite interested in profitable companies that also grow fast. I'm gonna dispute this. We're currently profitable, and to do so our growth is just "good" (80-100% yoy). We're also raising a smaller

Yep. And importantly - backups on different cloud providers, with different payment methods.

Yes, absolutely my fault. But these problems happen. Credit cards expire, people change companies or go on leaves, off boarding processes are not always perfect, spam filters exist. Add to that the declining experience of email with so much

I really liked Hetzner but I got burned by one issue. I had some personal projects running there and the payment method failed. Automated email communications also failed among so much spam and email notifications I receive, and when I noti

I really like electric approach and it has been on my radar for a long time, because it just leaves the writing complexity to you and the API. Most of the solutions with 2 way sync I see work great in simple rest and hobby "Todo app&qu

The thing knitting taught me is that you can have something beautiful and useful even tho literally every part of the piece is a single point of failure. No redundancy, no backstop. If any of the stitches gets cut, the entire piece can unra

Just one other thing. In Analog you also have compensating developers, which will exhaust faster in darker areas (or lighter if you think in negative), and allow for lighter areas more time to develop and show, and hence some more control o

Personal anecdote: I do freediving, so CO2 tolerance training is common, and I've done it on and off. Basically you do breath holds to train your body to get used to high leves of CO2. I've found that brief high C02 levels are ver

A very large library of premade charts for web. Probably the largest I've seen. Less customizable than chart.js, and D3 is more of a rendering library than a charting library.

I've been very curious about electric -- the idea of giving your application a replicated subset of your databse, using your api as a proxy, is quite interesting for apps where the business layer between the db and the client is thin (

Ok I'm going to invert that thought, and say: if books are so intelectually more efficient, why do we even have universities? Why do we have lectures, and why doesn't everyone just read? Spoken word is one of the most primitive an

I think reading is an essential skill, but we also need to get reading out of the pedestal. Because a lot of the time these arguments come across as some sort of literary elitism. Like if you're not ingesting information through readin

It's 2025, and some ORMs are quite good (eg. Django, ActiveRecord). You can have an ORM with escape hatch of SQL. I do not understand the people who are so against ORMs. I use ORM query interfaces 80% of the time, and for performance c

Basecamp violates that rule often and they are doing ok. If I remember right they even make it a strategy to re-write their whole application every few years. There's no hard rules in software engineering, and all best practices should

"Everyone can do sterile work", I mean some people can't even boil an egg. There is a big sample bias here. The community of hackers is generally intelligent and curious. The laws in place were not necessarily made with them

Yesterday I went to buy an electric toothbrush and some were marketed as having "AI". This thing is reaching astronomical bandwagon proportions.
