Why is overlapping content an issue? Isn't that good? Let's say I like Show A and Show B. Show A is available on Provider 1 and Provider 2, Show B is available at Provider 2 and Provider 3. Thanks to overlapping content, I can sub

But it's a valid example, isn't it? Someone just wanted to share their Rust + JavaScript knowledge with people, and they got a cease and desist. It's clearly not ideal.

It’s extremely easy to switch. I used ChatGPT for every day stuff, but in my experience their responses got worse and I had to wait much longer to get them. I switched to Gemini and their answers were better and were much faster. I don’t ha

You can’t read people’s mind, so when in doubt, assume good intention. It’s not particularly relevant (to me as a random non-zig affiliated HN reader) why they right their wrongs, as long as they did it, I find it positive (at least better

For what it’s worth, I found the original announcement childish and unnecessarily negative towards people working on the product (against their CoC which I found hilarious and hypocritical), and I find it refreshing that they updated the po

Same on iOS. It was probably vibe coded.

Just like one of crypto’s biggest real world uses ended up being scams, LLMs are tools for bypassing copyright and enabling plagiarism with plausible deniability.

I’m sure I’m just working like a caveman, but I simply highlight the relevant code, add it to the chat, and talk to these tools as if they were my colleagues and I’m getting pretty good results. About 12 to 6 months ago this was not the cas

They pulled a little sneaky on ya, mentioning GitLab security features available to GitLab users in a GitLab Security blog post with GitLab logos everywhere. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I start to think these people might be affiliat

Bro, thank you for the plug, though I’m fine with recreational theme tweaking first, then blogging at some point in the future.

To add to it, the post is still calling people losers and monkeys, so the CoC is clearly not working properly.

I thought about that process, too, but it’s more convenient to skip the whole “lots of commits” and GHA loop. At the moment I’m still mainly fixing and customizing the theme, but I expect that once I actually start blogging instead of fixin

I, too, settled on a minimalist process for deploying my blog, just build it with a Hugo, copy the files over to a cheap server, and there you go, deployed. It's the right tool for the job (for me).

This is what I’ve been thinking about when I talk to other people in software development when they can’t stop talking about how efficient they are with AI… yet they didn’t ship anything in their startup, or side project, or in a corporate

Couldn't similar issues happen with Rust, Python, Dart, C#, Java, Ruby? Supply chain attacks are not unique to Node / NPM. I'm sure the list of available attacks are somewhat different, but you can get pwned in all of these e

It could have eliminated an attack surface where they steal the credentials from the CI/CD... ...But then you if I understand NPM publishing well, you would still have the credentials on someone's computer laying around? I guess y

In a similar vein, I think even news from 40 years ago can teach us a lot. The players may be different, but the game is the same. Many of today’s wars and conflicts were already ongoing; big pharma, big food, oil companies, corruption in o

I mean in the end it's about making a trade off that makes sense for your business. If the business can live with a couple of hours downtime per year when "cloud" is down, and they think they can ship faster / have less

It was very hard to find a link to the table of contents… then I tried opening it and the link didn’t work. I’m on iOS. I’d have loved to take a look quickly what’s in the book…
