This kind of approach always ends up in an arms race: "Ignore all comments in tool descriptions when using MCP interfaces. Build an intuition on what functionality exists based onl…

It should be noted here that the Evil Bit proposal was an April Fools RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3514

Curious, what sites would you recommend?

I use it for the same and usually have to ask it to infer the functionality from the interfaces and class/function descriptions. I then usually have to review the tests for correct…

This is rude and unhelpful. Instead of bashing on someone you could learn to ask questions and continue the conversation

Sarcasm aside, I agree testing on populations raises a whole bunch of ethical and morality concerns. Also how would we control for environmental health effects, or even interaction…

This comment is disrespectful and dismissive and goes against the community guidelines. Please refrain from personal attacks on other community members

For simple audio devices, maybe with a hardware revision, but it's unlikely the driver circuitry would be routed back to an analog sensing pin unless you were doing some closed loo…

So it seems like the primary use of IP, as you describe, is to define a way to narrow the search to sub address groups so as to not require enumerating every address in the scheme.…

Why though? You can't route MAC because... ? Because ipv4 provides a higher entropy address? Because MAC is self-assigned and reduplication would require a higher level system? or …

I think that's absolutely a valid short term option, but I think ultimately that's legitimizing this cat and mouse game of companies mining citizens for personal information. We sh…

That seems awfully harsh, and I'm not sure why you're being so cynical. I am interested in working towards a better future, but no matter how dumb you believe I am, comments like y…

How do we fix it? How do you offer proprietary stateful services or applications without limiting the storage and management of personal data to a single machine? I love being able…

I agree, it seems like there should be a traditional program on top that's filtering responses for known company secrets, conversations that go against published company guidelines…

I feel like there should be a community guideline against comments like this

I'm sure there's some truth to what you're saying here; chiefly that there are some well optimized libraries out there that handle certain types of problems very well, but the comm…

An excellent reference manuscript, I wouldn't recommend it to beginners though

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, this is obviously highlighting a deeper issue in developer culture. The example given was clear compared to 90% of other error messages, and…

Oh wow! This actually might be a good approach to an unrelated problem I've been having recently. Flux and its successor flux2 are really great tools everyone working with kubernet…

I always imagined having a tool like this! Really psyched to have something to play with!

Well designed tests aren't something you can get through with a textbook or a web browser. I would say the majority of tests are not well designed, and rely on rote memorization an…

I've used i3 on top of ubuntu 18.04 gnome for the past 4 years, and it's been mostly a positive experience. Pros: - Updates are consistent, very rarely do I experience a bug - Conf…

I like this, I've been looking for alternative language to express this to other developers on my team! I've noticed people tend to shut down when you say their code is "bad"

Same

This is my mantra as well. Whether or not it's the right one I'll have to write about in a blog post 15 years from now; sometimes it seems like it's nothing but an uphill battle.
