There's already a rate limit on pulls. All this does is make that rate limit more inconvenient by making it hourly instead of allowing you to amortize it over 6 hours. 10 per hour …

It's not a limitation of the internet, it's a fundamental property of communication. Imagine trying to validate that all letters sent to your company are written by special company…

If an endpoint costs a lot to run, implement rate limits and return 429 status codes so callers know that they're calling too often. That endpoint will be expensive regardless of w…

In my personal view, this seems a little overbearing. If you expose an API, and you want to tell a user that they are "unauthorized" to use it, it should return a 401 status code s…

If all that's missing is 'a nasm compatible assembler', did they try just swapping it out for nasm, which seems to have a readily available alpine package? https://pkgs.alpinelinux…

Yeah, because no one on Linux or Mac would clone a git repo they just found out about and blindly run the setup scripts listed in the readme. And no one would pipe a script downloa…

Is this the first Summoning Salt video you've seen? I don't know enough to say that he doesn't use an LLM during his writing process, but I do know that I haven't noticed any appre…

Maybe that's a harsh lesson in making promises that can't be delivered? Or, more likely, no lessons will be learned and people will still trust what the company says in the future …

Seems like the best way for somebody to get over a bad thing that they did in their past is to be forthright in acknowledging that they did the bad thing, and show through their ac…

That seems like significantly more work for marginal (if any) benefit over just having a single squash commit per PR. I don't think I've ever found myself in a situation where I ne…

When you are charging people extra for the features you're promising will exist in the future, it seems reasonable to call that fraud if you never deliver.

I think what they're getting at is that for something low quality is less likely to have survived for a hundred years to even be a contender in this race.

I assume that an "ATR turboprop" does not count as a commercial jet.

How on earth is it Canon's fault when Apple releases a breaking change?

I would imagine you would call yourself a Software Engineer if what you do for a living is software engineering. I'm not sure that schooling needs to be a factor.
