Yes some of us are having a hard time with it. All of the years we've spent on immutable by default, strong types and dreaming about the lambda has to matter! The AI that just rips…

Shouldn't tons of applications linked against musl be crashing all over the Internet if it can express this kernel bug?

Actually, if you implement a JavaScript runtime at all your choice is either too slow for modern web users or `unsafe` everywhere. Runtime values are often simultaneously either wo…

GitHub is the worst place to host your code. Except for all of the other places.

I wonder if bong hits ever helped him with his Makefile.

Sounds a bit like surrender here. There's no reason to read the code anymore. The LLMs produce it inhumanly fast. They can usually debug and fix problems faster than Haskell can co…

Lyme disease is not the only tick disease. There's alpha gal (red meat allergy ) and also ascending paralysis. And more.

My child almost died from a tick. Other children do die. I would gladly kill every tick on Earth and whatever relies on eating them so no human has to lose a kid to this again.

At the minimum I might say you only allow Chrome to access Google Workspace/SSO, which is needed to access like 95% of company resources. This is, in fact, the topic of the OP. You…

It's possible some people thought they were there to move zines. But then there's this. > In addition to the encrypted messaging group chats, Song, Arnold, Morris, and others met i…

This is the correct answer. Having your users run multiple browsers by default (instead of with whitelisted exceptions) is now multiple attack surfaces the org has to manage.

It's incredible how hard it is for firms to migrate away from platforms. Clearly you could just give something away for nearly free for 20 years and then jack the price up and make…

After spending years on end doing functional programming I used to stumble when looking at for loops until I got used to thinking that way again. It's funny how different the skill…

Lisp actually kind of sucks and the community is insufferable but a lot of good things in computer science are unachievable without lambda calculus. Compilers, type inferencing, Ru…

probably the best use of s-expressions is as an alternative to json which you can implement in 50 lines of code e.g. pretty good for config files or basic serialization

We're so close to realizing the answer was with us the entire time. midwit meme template guy on left: katie u want meet 3pm discuss project midwit: Hi Katie, I hope this message fi…

The irony of these fancy FP languages that were designed to develop compilers or to get PL academics off is that they're actually also really good at the most mundane code imaginab…

Given this is "BBC Future" let me guess, barely above significance and n=16?

Yes, chronically disturbed sleep is the obvious confounder and is well known to drop T and explains the observed small changes a lot better.

A year ago I would have agreed but lately, when it comes to stuff linked off of HN, it's actually more likely to be clear and readable if it's AI written.

Not including Reddit probably boosts its IQ 25 points.
