Like anything in coding, it depends. LLMs are good at following conventions . If what you're doing has been done a 1000 times before and there is a good bias, it will produce good …

Tip: LLMs are very good at following conventions (this is actually what is happening when it writes code). If you create a .md file with a list of entries of the following structur…

Ultimately Kerberos is used to authenticated basically everything in a Windows on-prem environment and in a way that is largely transparent to the user. Silent SSO is a very nice f…

I use the bemis bidet adapter. It's $50 US on amzn and requires no power (splices into the feed). Only wish the knob would spring back to the off position. Was going to give it to …

Writing code is easy. Knowing /what/ to write is hard. I know how to write English. But that doesn't mean I can write a book (that someone would want to read). AI can write code. B…

I'm not a fan of XML either with the exception of one purpose which is document processing using XSLT. XSLT is THE correct way to generate documents. Markdown is extremely limited …

I would argue that API doc text should not be inlined with code at all. It's just noise. It should be in a separate XML file with a minimal schema. Then building the javadoc is jus…

Dread. I run all of my Windows Server / 10 / 11 client VMs on ESXi for testing my Java software product. I'm getting the impression that proxmox is the only real alternative for Wi…

I have a crazy theory: Zillow is directly responsible for the housing shortage and high home prices. Zillow inspires people to move. More moving means houses get fixed up which inc…

The blog article doesn't actually say the IAKERB impl will proxy to KDCs. Strangely it is entirely specific to Windows 11 and by extension Windows clients. There is no mention of W…

This is not accurate. NTLM provides signing and sealing using a session key. It is the responsibility of the protocol using NTLM for auth to use that key to sign or seal. The probl…

Yeah, I don't get it either. On a related note, folks who are thinking we'll just use Debian or SUSE or whatever other distro, don't understand what RH does. RH is one of the princ…

The poster did not claim it was a "cure". The way I read it was that if you're gut biome is dysfunctional because you eat too much, that is a factor in the immune response to SARS-…

Ditto. I have vi going in a term maxed in it's own workspace and just leave it open always so that when I have an idea I just do :r!date to add a timestamp and type in whatever ide…

Async is superior. I have done processes with locks in shared memory. I have done threads. But I predict Async will slowly start to take over. Processes are not suitable for workin…

The problem is not with digital signatures. The problem is bad ECC certs used to generate digital signatures. So SMB is not affected. Code signed with one of these bad ECC certs is…

Not exactly but I'm not sure it matters. It sounds like if the curve parameters are crafted just-so, they can dodge validation and use anyone's public key and yet still negotiate s…

I'm starting to like async as in libuv and JS. I don't know what people think of JS but I've done condition variables (Java) and semaphores through shared memory and I actually thi…

The simplified method: Take a guitar and transpose each mode to E. So start with Phrygian since it's natrual key is E. But then transpose Dorian from D down to E. Forget the key. J…

This post has long since scrolled off the front page but for posterity here is the best part: "The fact is that good system design takes time; it is the sort of thing that requires…

Isn't "AI" pretty much snake oil. IIRC Artificial Intelligence used to mean a computer that could think like a person. But that just is not the case. Even with IBM ads with a compu…

Ah, no, the Myers algorithm is also known as the "Sortest Edit Script" and your algo does not follow the shortest path or produce a script (just -1 for mismatches). More specifical…

As other's have pointed out, yes, bases align like two parallel stack of plates. This is for two reasons. One is that the aromatic rings of bases are mostly carbon and thus not pol…
