I find a lot of LLM articles to be hard to read, but since this one was pretty "straight to the point", I found it to be okay and got the important information across. The title "The Linux reality check" made me groan, t

IDEs, static linters, and syntax highlighters aren't designed to replace any part of the problem solving process, but rather augment them. It's impossible to become dependent on any of these tools to the point where your cognitive

That's not my experience at all. I was approved fairly fast - around an hour from submitting the form and getting a response. However, even being in the cybersecurity programme, Fable refuses to answer prompts that it determines could

I got the same vibe from > These are asciinema recordings of real terminal sessions, rendered as text rather than video. Playback caps idle pauses at two seconds and changes nothing else. Thanks? This sounds like it's the LLM's

I think this is a slightly different problem. The absence of an optional field, if that's a legal state, is meaningful every time you use the type, so you encode it on the field: `phone: ValidPhoneNumber | null`. When it's not nul

That would've been a cool PoC to work on as well, but seems a fair bit more complicated than the BadUSB-style attack I ended up doing. Would've had to do a lot more RE to figure out how to interact with the whole microphone subsys

From personal experience, there have been a few papercuts (mostly trying to figure out why runners aren't picking up jobs), but it isn't too hard to debug and the CI format is simple. When it works, it works well enough. It uses a

I wish my city only had a single case like that. Unfortunately, in Tallinn, it is extremely common that a bike path is suddenly routed onto the curb, and that's when you're lucky. For some paths, the path just... ends, and you sud

According to the linked homepage, the memory usage seems decent (few hundred megs for most use cases when working with a 3.3G logfile). There's a screenshot with various tasks and what the peak memory usage is. At some point you need t

Good question! I wasn't too concerned about this, because the only way you could even interact with the OS where the server was running was via HTTP requests, which are fairly limited in nature. The OS or kernel itself wasn't dire
