I used to be mostly indifferent on LLM generated writing and didn’t understand why it bothered people (especially on HN) so much. Either a switch in my brain flipped or something i…

I've started email the customer support of pages that have overzealous CF settings saying that it's a pain and that if they want to keep me as a customer they need to fix it. Most …

That's my point - GSL is NOT MSVC only, it's a general purpose library and NOT a standard library implementation of a toolchain so any compiler is expected to be able to compile it…

Herb Sutter's comment on why it's ok is confusing to me: > Regarding the use of UB internally: It's okay and if anyone is worried about it the use of UB is benign on the platforms …

Pretty sure it was the crash (same story with Cruise for that matter)

This is a “perfect is the enemy of good” situation. If the alternative was permanent standard time this argument would be meaningful; but the alternative is switching time twice a …

Water is wet. It is in the interest of SK Hynix (and Micron/Samsung etc.) to convince people that the shortage is not a short term issue regardless of whether it is or not. I’ll be…

> A NOBUS backdoor in an asymmetric primitive that looks like "X% of all keys is weak" That’s not a NOBUS backdoor. It’s a different type of backdoor and I’m pointing out that prov…

This post makes a bad argument. Saying that there's no "Nobody but us backdoor" to prove there's *no* backdoor of *any kind* is clearly naive at best, dishonest at worst. As an exa…

The intersection of phones that have unlockable bootloaders, public-ish driver blobs and decent hardware is tiny. What other phone would you pick?

If they wanted to do that, your chances of "I talk, and it screws me" are pretty high anyway. Also, don't take my word for it - here's a US police officer saying the same thing: ht…

The point of the article (and any similar advice) is that 4 is not possible

67 feels different. The vim/emacs gag feels authentic in the way that someone surrounded by cs/vim/emacs/unix culture would want to stir the pot playfully. "Do a barrel roll" simil…

I still don't see where HF is explained?

But no new easter eggs (that I'm aware of). I think those easter eggs could only have been created in the 2000s Google culture. The fact that they're still around doesn't really sa…
