jj does not have large file or submodule support, but it does intend to in the future (you can read their design docs). Right now it's git compatible, so I'm not sure how 'permissi…

Google killed basic HTML in Gmail a few years ago

Note that this is not what the article is about. Bash has a fake /dev/tcp path that opens sockets. What you have there is just perl opening a socket normally. Great solution, but t…

I like the fun in this article, but some nitpicks don't seem right to me. This kinda reminds me of cinemasins. 1) I would assume his dad talked about always having a backdoor as a …

Falling apart? You mean getting stronger? Every single one of these is an existing hole being patched. It isn't making new holes

How reductive. Sure, there are paper mills and non-reputable colleges that hand out degrees, but that's clearly not what the author is writing about ('lecturers' there won't care a…

Millions of users, and you think exactly zero of them will hand over their credit card info?

This is really cool. Most people here are whining that you, a college student, aren't acting like an adult. I hope you can look past that; it's supposed to be hacker nature to do s…

Just click the varset in the tree view and it lists them in the properties pane

What emotion must people be feeling when they die then? > the word is worse than meaningless It seems as though you are redefining it to be meaningless, then projecting that onto e…

I hed to look this up, so here's a correction: it was one large line logically split, not smaller lines. So you can't select, say, a long compact JSON line. Still not fixed: https:…

When I tried Wezterm last year, you couldn't select more than 3-5 lines of text. I went to fix the 'bug', I found that it was intentional because it allocates a string and copies m…

You may be surprised to hear that many people work to make a living and then just go home. Not every employee has to drink the kool aid to make a living.

You can . But this makes intent clear. If you clone a git repo and see build/ with only a gitkeep, you are safe to bet your life savings on that being the compiled assets dir.

Yeah... I don't think you were wrong. Having 100 tiny gitignores makes finding out why something is excluded annoying. Our policy is one root level gitgnore and gitkeeps where requ…

Points 3, 4, and 6 are directly related to AI. 5 is indirectly related

Your first point only holds if nothing ever changes in the programming world. People write new languages and frameworks all the time. How do you compare dates in pandas? How about …

I doubt it. Ghidra is extremely extensible with their plugin/tool architecture. Public Ghidra includes the extremely helpful decompiler tool, and a few others, but I'm willing to b…

That argument is not going to hold up for long though. Someone can prompt "improve the open source projects I work on", an agent 8 layers deep can do something like this. If you co…

There is something to be said about that. Firefox does keep inserting it's 'helpful features' like Pocket on users, which is very annoying. My point is just that everyone is so cri…

In this example, nearly every other company in existence gives their employees nothing and asks them to use their hands (forcing AI with no option). It's hard for me to look at Goo…

> The AI features can be disabled entirely or individually, so users can pick and choose what they want to use It sounds like you would want to switch off two of them and leave two…

This is expected behavior in Microsoft products, but has Firefox ever done anything like this?

In the parallel universe where Firefox defaults to ai features being off, there's a snarky comment like yours about why it isn't on by default. It is really tiring to hear this stu…

Unrelated, but in that link: > Interestingly, the code continues to check the entire hash after a mismatch. This is a standard practice in cryptography, but maybe not at the time.
