Viewing profile — duped

The one thing that falls over is that the webhooks are actually self modifying code since you have an 'on commit' webhook that bootstraps the actions logic from the workflow.yaml f…

I'm not sure that it's that mind boggling. The entire complexity and value of GHA is not in the runners but the scheduler that the GH frontend hooks into and runners subscribe to j…

The point I'm making is they're not entitled to scale a business if they can't scale responsibly

But they couldn't possibly do it at that the scale they're operating at. They couldn't hire enough people in the countries they operate, or know the language, or trust that who the…

Just because it's by design doesn't mean it's good

Or their app was configured to let other LE agencies access it without their knowledge in violation of state law (1). Only linked one case but afaik it happened in a number of CA c…

No, I'm thinking of improperly stored gasoline evaporating and combusting.

Poorly stored gasoline can spontaneously combust, though. So more like a firebomb.

You don't find it useful that use after free, double free, uninitialized memory, and many kinds of race conditions are just impossible in code that compiles? What exactly is the lo…

People find it immensely useful in practice, though.

I think the word "taxonomy" is a really good way to look at music theory. Really, the study is about giving names and notation to things in music so we can write and talk about it …

You should understand language before debating vocabulary. I am quite well read on political philosophy and history, and I will continue to call out fascists when I see people talk…

The word I wanted to reach for was Nazi but I toned it down

I'm referring to how both Lütke and DHH, a Shopify board member, have fascist politics. The word does have meaning. But underlying that meaning is a philosophy that there is an in …

Almost any system that limits participation in democracy will be abused to disenfranchise people that those in power do not want to give a voice. So you're coming at this from the …

Shopify seems to have a fascist problem.

Where I live the municipal courses are actually a part of our water retention and drainage systems that are provided at cost (or discounted cost, sometimes free) to members of the …

Please don't make the word "lawfare" a thing. It was invented by a criminal to argue that being investigated for his crimes was somehow corrupt.

PL theory seems to be in an infinite loop between arbitrary control flow like call/cc and then realizing it's hard to reason about and restricting it. I do wish we could land on a …

I mean the lack of clear goals in American wars just reinforces their point

github.io is not a forge, it's static site hosting. Completely different product than github.com, but integrates with it nicely. People use github.io to host sites that are develop…

If someone hangs a 'no cars' sign at the entrance to their private nature path you're not going to think they're saying 'You are not traveling according to the exact rules I have m…

I kind of like the idea of a software forge that won't host the Torment Nexus discovered in 2027 because its TOS didn't contain language about it in 2026.
