    I'd much rather be surrounded by people wearing earbuds than have people watching tiktoks through their phone speakers on the subway

    You cannot build a CSAM generator, period. CSAM means Child Sexual Abuse Material -- material created through the sexual abuse of children. If it came out of a generator, it is not…

    This is an easy fix. Ditch the HOV element and make the lane toll-only. Tolls already encourage carpooling -- more people in the car means less toll per occupant.

    I would be shocked if the rust documentation didn't explain very clearly how to bootstrap rustc starting from gcc

    The strike emphasizes the importance of automation. We should be prioritizing the investments that will allow us to fire as many of them as possible as soon as possible.

    I'm a little confused about when I'd use this, if I'm quickly iterating on code as I develop it, probably I also want to know whether it type checks, right?

    I've been using this workflow with hg and it's great, happy to see a git port

    The article makes it sound like the system was using eval (probably on a per-request basis, not just on start-up), and also like ceasing to use eval was pretty trivial once they re…

    This was my experience. There's this narrative that you move away from your parents and you have the freedom and independence they were previously denying you, and I'm sure that's …
