I don't want to be like "that guy" or anything but there is definitely a racoon in there so like 14,332 cats and a racoon.

I switched from packer to lazy after I noticed the maintainer of packer stopped using packer in his neovim config. Also I believe he has now officially marked it as unmaintained an…

I don’t think that’s really fair. They are highlighting some pretty serious security flaws in MCP tools that are allowed to do some pretty privileged things. They don’t even mentio…

I believe they have already started this effort. https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/06/22/type-system-updates-...

I'm pretty sure you could use something like https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-referenc... to allow you to copy and paste your args into a user prompt when you in…

"usually it demands 'libDickSmasher v2.0 or higher'" Legit made me chuckle

This is insecure code that is susceptible to SQL injection. Check out https://phptherightway.com/#databases and read the PDO section. It gives almost your exact code as an example …

I'm also surprised no one is really mentioning Nomad in this discussion either, I know for a fact circleci used nomad at some point to schedule CI tasks on worker machines. If I cr…

I was wondering anyone could shed some light on the "These hash functions should be pairwise independent" part. I don't know what pairwise independent means. My background is mostl…

The VSCode Blog has a great article on Piece Tables talking about their adoption of that data structure https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2018/03/23/text-buffer-r...

This is indeed a downside but there are workarounds -- The wikimedia foundation put out a good blog post talking about getting HTTP connection pooling for PHP https://techblog.wiki…
