But this is already how open source works today. If you have the code, you, a human, could find and 'fix' or exploit vulnerabilities as much as you want. Now if Fable had an easy jailbreak like this that allowed you to attack remo

I know this is only tangentially related, but recalling messages is horrible. I hate that so many services will allow people to send me a message, give me a notification with a preview, but then the message gets edited or deleted. If you dr

Asking Claude to commit and push triggers the Co-Authored-By thing typically, even if the change was made by hand. It could entirely be possible the author just asked it to generate a commit message for this change (although the style doesn

I'm not anti right-to-repair by any means. I'm just saying that "we don't need the manufacturer, just vibe code your own firmware" is not a solution to this problem. Farmers should be able to swap parts, tweak loads

I've never been fond of the argument that there should be a professional software engineer certification, but hearing people like you being presented with the potential dangers and just going 'oh yeah just go with a better test su

Aside from the legal question whether the manufacturer allows you to do so, I’m pretty excited about somebody vibe coding firmwire to a 35 ton machine with a bunch of big attachments at the back and plenty of ways to mangle the bodies of ca

It’s especially frustrating that dependency hell seems to be embedded in the Python culture. The amount of “oh no this lib will only work with Python 3.10+ and a slew of other libs at random versions we won’t bother to tell you” while some

In the best case scenario, professionally writing software is treated like a craft. You produce something useful while applying your skills, with the tools at your disposal. You can write software as an art form, just like woodworking can b

I don't like the superpower vibe either. I do not entirely look negative upon my ADHD, but then again, to what degree it is my personality and to what degree it is the disorder, I don't know. If others want to view their ADHD as a

Apologies for drawing that conclusion, but usually the argument presented is something like "amphetamines / stimulants bad especially in healthy adults -> usage on the rise due to increases ADHD diagnoses -> diagnoses potent

Even if you were 100% correct and the world is broken, fully causing ADHD as a disorder: Please fix the world FIRST and only once proven ADHD is caused by what once was the shape of western society and no longer applies, THEN you get to tak

I suppose that's true, in much the same way that chemotherapy treats the symptom of cells spontaneously deciding to replicate in your body. That does not mean we judge people battling a cancer diagnosis and tell them to pursue non-medi

To provide a European/Dutch perspective: I’m pretty sure that as a small employer myself, I am very much disallowed from using those mechanisms to actually inspect what employees are doing. Automated threat/virus scanning may be a

Minor pedantic correction: 2.5gbit, 5gbit and 10gbit RJ45 is getting more affordable and more common, and for short runs should run over CAT 6 and CAT 6a fine, and plenty of reports it does ok on short runs even on CAT 5e. With devices like

I've wondered this as well, I'd love to hear from the mods as to how many false positives vs true positives this generates. Us, the lowly users, only spot it when it mangles a title, but does it actually provide some tangible bene

Shipping has always been a strong point for Ikea. Just look at how efficient most of their stuff is packaged, usually into very neat rectangular packages. They can fit a ton of stuff into a small volume, which improves shipping cost a lot.

Same, I really have nothing bad to say about the Tailwind design system. I suspect there is a lot of halo effect going on, where if people were asked to judge the pure code aspect of Tailwind vs the design system separately, they'd be

I'm not necessarily arguing in favor of deep cascading, but I don't see how something like this: .form-element, .button { height: 32px; } Is something that can be easily achieved with Tailwind without either using @apply all o

Starting from 'what looks good' is putting the cart before the horse. Making a UI usable and well laid out first is key. Practical UI and Refactoring UI are great resources, as long as you read them through a lens of 'what wo

That still really isn't a reason. I think I can extrapolate where they are going with this, which will be something like 'I have a ton of 720x400 hardware CRTs sitting around that I need to use/support/deal with'. B

Yes, and I want FireWire. Oh, and I'd really prefer 16 bit real mode CPUs. While we're at it, why not go for support for serial connection mice? This reads like such an arbitrary wish without a reasoning WHY you would want this. I

Amount of driven kilometers are also up massively compared to 1985, meaning that per kilometer we did fine on the safety record. Stop trying to make cars safer, and reduce the amount of driving you need to do. There is a way to have more li

And I know how to tell any story, it's called lying. Whether you are lying with statistics or lying in a story does not matter. In the end it all comes down to whether you can validate what you've been told. Most people however wi

I get it, you like stories of individuals. We should figure out a way you can listen to more stories, so you can form an even better opinion! Perhaps we write them out, shorten them a bit. Or perhaps group them by similarity. And then if we

That depends. I'm perfectly happy as a European business owner that it is made very clear that accessible software is not optional, and even if you think it is expensive, that you can't just sit around and wait for the fine to hit

So let me get this straight: because the US wont let you get the sales tax you paid back like you would with a VAT, you blame the "sane" system for effectively imposing an import tax, even though there is no way for the that recei

Open source means being able to verify how the sausage is made. Getting a premade sausage and saying “oh you can still eat it and spice it up however you like” isn’t that. I’m happy open weights exist, but it is not truly open source.

Yep, that's more my class of customers. The height limitation is probably because of the gantry crane. In my experience having the truck driver follow the reachstacker is kind of uncommon, you'd ideally either tell the truck drive

Fair enough, I was thinking of terminals one step smaller where reachstackers or straddle carriers directly drive to and from the quay. On bigger terminals it’s a much more interlinked process indeed. See https://youtu.be/in

Agreed, with the asterisk that shipping companies and terminals will try to be the ones driving the government agendas on this. Government run does not necessarily equal neutral. But a neutral system I am generally in favor of.
