>I counted about THIRTY em-dashes, which any frequent generative AI user would understand to be a major tell. Dude, plenty of people write with em-dashes and semicolons; I personal…

I'm part of several small/mid-sized communities where people voluntarily do sysadmin work so that the group can have some nice shared services, and that's to say nothing of the num…

And from what they do show, it doesn't look like the sites.google.com link was actually clickable, which will reduce the success rate of the attack substantially. I'm not sure if i…

I've never heard anyone define memory safety that way. You can segfault by overflowing stack space and hitting the guard page or dereferencing a null pointer. Those are possible in…

Which is a very intentional (and successful) marketing ploy by companies to get users to not care about them. It sounds like a boring technical thing instead of "we need your permi…

Neither the 404 Media article nor this one claim otherwise. I think the key "AI angle" here is this (from the 404 Media article): > Hackers are increasingly targeting AI tools as a…

There's not a strong differentiation between "official" policies and guidelines and "unofficial" specific consensus on Wikipedia. Individual arguments are generally built out of po…

> I'm not terribly convinced that software engineering is harder I don't think it really matters what jobs are "harder". Nothing in the article is making the claim this is unique (…

It's a pretty small Mastadon instance and I didn't expect that this would get the attention it has. effdee shared an archive link ( https://archive.is/hmvEh ) which will work if th…

I worked on the data warehouse for federal storage of Medicaid and CHIP data (US government-sponsored healthcare programs that cover ~25% of the population, especially people with …

It's not akin to that at all. External recruiters are typically paid for placement (i.e. they get a commission paid on a hired employee after they're hired, typically 20–30% of bas…

I suspect they're taking issue with the implication that these things are universally life changing, not that they can be meaningful at all. I have no doubt the author of this arti…

Indeed, it looks like they even tried to fix it in LLVM (back in 2017) but wound up reverting it: https://reviews.llvm.org/D28990

Nebula used to not have a discovery feed and just a most recent videos one, so I could see someone wanting to filter out creators who they've watched and decided aren't for them to…
