LLMs will certainly replace most developers. Most developers dont know that "computer" was a profession not long ago (and a quite demanding one). You are conflating "not understand…

As someone diagnosed recently, I can confirm this. People think it is a linear set of symptoms/traits, and not a bouquet of clues. Disclaimer: I previously was one of those people,…

Im developing something vaguely in the same space (tamper proof audit log) - (or several things since I also have a custom temporal object mapper for postgres); what is the advanta…

Me. You know nuclei is written in go? Sometimes you need resolution consistency between eg. A port scanner and nuclei. You build and test this on your infra, but then you need to d…

None. There are no good actors in a profit-driven endeavour. But open-weight seems pretty good (the chinese)

Reiserfs. A good example on how oss cannot save the product. There are others, but this is the first one that comes to my mind. If you use clearly unethical oss, are you just using…

Some fun trivia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir

Good question. No. Since the press was invented, our records have improved tremendously, partially because of the low cost of maintaing them. However, we still have detailed record…

You can take note. Writing is a physical action, e.g. performing output. Writing is an action. You can memorize, take a mental note, but you are not writing. (Someone else mentione…

If you are a 250 year old nation built on "stolen land" (by the europeans, mind you), I would assume not many. But the US has been home to many great writers. This is just stupid.

To be clear, there are excellent american authors, and many comments mention them; its more of a "why am I reading stupid questions about history?"

Reducing these countries to a single name is probably the reason why we can guess this was written by an american; each country has at least a bunch of inspired authors per couple …

One of the projects Im working on and off is a tamper-proof audit log, based on some PoC code I created almost 10 years go; unit and integration testing are good at preventing defe…

Disclaimer: im not an expert on this. But serious implementations outright mention jepsen usage. Just saying.

> This article is about Cloudflare developing for their own internal control plane--I'm fairly certain their requirements preclude a single Postgres. True, but the article claims b…

I had no idea mandriva/openmandriva still existed. I still have a mandrake cd somewhere, mostly because I cannot seem to be able to depart from physical media :)

Lol. Honestly, I love Munich, but I totally understand why certain movements galvanized there :p its easy to be on a high horse on a rich land - if something is not right, must be …

One of the reasons is that Germany is not a friendly country for non-german speakers (and/or if you dont have the right profile); I've worked for a while in both Berlin and Munich.…

This is - by far - the most stupid stuff I've read on the internet the past few days. They didnt find cancer either (as well as a plethora of diseases that could be related to the …

Yes, they did. And the motivation is quite simple: money. Having the US control export your flagship model is the ultimate stamp approval in the AI race. All headliners are america…

10 years ago, I was headlining a project where we had strict performance requirements (ssr, php mind you) - the target for any operation except login was 30ms, and any endpoint tak…

Corner case: actually, it can. Also, thats how auto-updating works ; depending on local state as a source of truth using browser apis is a terrible idea IMO. The whole concept of "…

Openevidence.com is not available in the EU, so I would actually be weary of recommending it. You either be exposing personal info, or getting a result you cannot guarantee it hasn…

Why not just ask for context and approval of the legal team? That would generate enough trail so some shady requirements get dropped almost immediately; having your superior explic…

Yes, something like "analyze throroughly the @datasheet.pdf and create a plan to implement x"
