Nice work! But...I added an image to see what options it gave me. There was no way to add alt text, which leads me to believe that accessibility was not a priority. Unless passing …

Quadlets and rootless containers are two major reasons I'll be switching from Docker to Podman.

People predict that in 50 years, no human will be driving a car, and people will be shocked that we let humans drive cars manually. Coding may be the same. So many vulnerabilities …

Don't we all inherently know that government surveillance will constantly increase over time if we give in? In theory, we could achieve a "happy medium," but the same access used b…

Seems analogous to employees of a missile manufacturer being upset that their missiles were used for their intended purpose.

I'm not disputing the designation. Per the US Code [1]: > The term "supply chain risk" means the risk that an adversary may sabotage, maliciously introduce unwanted function, or ot…

First of all, what "blacklist?" The article puts that in the title, but never explains anything about a blacklist. > The National Security Agency is using Anthropic's most powerful…

I've never regretted buying Legos for my kids. Yeah, the kits can be expensive, but they last forever. We've thrown out or donated lots of old toys, but the Legos will never be giv…

As a kid in the early 1980s, I spent a lot of time experimenting with computers by playing basic games and drawing with crude applications. And it was fun. I would have loved to ha…

I've wasted hours of my life trying to get Latex to format my journal articles to different journals' specifications. That's tedious typesetting that wastes my time. I'm all for AI…

Seeing things like, " New driving model " on their list of latest releases does not inspire a lot of confidence. Yes, the HTML tags are displayed on the page. Some basic quality as…

I took meds for depression a few years ago. I don't know that they did anything other than signal to myself that I wasn't ready to give up. They may have served as a kind of "dumbo…

I'm slowly de-Microsofting my computing. I've traded OneDrive for Syncthing. I ditched one PC for a Mac. I have the technical skills to run Linux effectively, but the biggest obsta…
