Seems like Kyber is dual-licensed AGPL and proprietary, seems like a pretty standard way to fund an open source project.

In that case wouldn't the blame lie in the smarty-pants person? When the web site says everywhere that it's beta quality?

The user is going to win after going out of their way to install an aftermarket binary blob on their deprecated thermostat? Seems like a stretch no?

This is for people who have already bought a nest and got burnt by the deprecation of their online services. Of course they could get another thermostat but then that'd just be mor…

I don't get the hate, it looks like they reverse-engineered the nest thermostat and wrote a firmware for it? That's super cool and the fact that an open source project doesn't have…

btw I've used neon for that and it worked well. Disclaimer: I have no relationship with them, I just have a shoestring budget.

Obviously you probably thought about it but what about rendering the subtitles on top of the video stream? Was there a reason it was not possible (e.g DRMs?)

Hey Filip – while we're talking about memory architecture, have you started looking at ARM's EMTE extension (e.g https://security.apple.com/blog/memory-integrity-enforcement... )? …

Very strange logic. If we follow your example, going to the dealership and taking a car for a test drive is a rug pull because eventually the car dealer will ask you to pay for the…

How is wanting to build software sustainably a rug pull? Like seriously, if you get value from orbstack, it's fair to pay them. Otherwise you can still stick to free alternatives l…

If you read up on this story, you'd find out it's not run off the mill corruption. Sarkozy actually conspired with a foreign state – in particular with someone who directed a terro…

I mean, it's not like you can get away with running with zero SREs if you're running in the cloud. The personnel costs for on-prem hosting are vastly exaggerated, especially if you…

If you look up their latest annual report ( https://wikimediafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/W... ) you can see that they're allocating ~1.7% of their expenses towards ho…

A lot of it is because platforms need a wedge against AWS/Azure. Take edge computing for example – most apps are CRUD apps that talk to a single database, but vendors keep pushing …

Sorry to self-promote but I did exactly that a few months back: https://khamidou.com/gpt2/ Generally, I think the Karpathy tutorials are a good starting point but they're very math…

> What's the use case for Zig? You're in that 1% of projects in which you need something beyond what a garbage collector can deliver and, what, you're in the 1% of the 1% in which …

Please — rust advocates need to realize that you're not winning anyone to rust with this kind of outlandish comments. Zig is not an extreme sports experience. It has much better me…

Just because they send them to a school without cell phones doesn't mean they're not hopelessly addicted to them

That's very helpful – thanks for taking the time.

I'd be curious to hear more about how tmux helps you — I tried it and besides keeping a permanent session open on a remote server to me I didn't find much use for it compared to re…

> If memory safety was the only relevant metric, we would've rewritten everything in Java decades ago. well for a good 15-20 years the jvm had awful startup times which probably wa…

If I understand correctly, in your analogy, golang is floppies and rust is a sophisticated version control system? lol

> If all the kids love Rust and hate C, then perhaps a switch to Rust might be a necessary evil to ensure we'll have well-maintained coreutils for another generation. You still nee…

I mean the one bug with the 9.8 CVSS was a denial of service when calling sort(1). That sounds like CVE grade inflation tbh – if you have attackers running sort on your machine the…
