The main point is NIST is _downstream_ of CVE issuance. Yes, they can — and still do — add disputed/rejected tags to CVEs, but in many cases by then it's already "too late." The CV…

The problem I have is that there's no way to embed an "uncertainty" into EXIF metadata in a standard way. I just want some photos to be "Summer 1987" or "February 1976" or even "19…

I mean, humans can't draw bikes! https://themagnet.substack.com/p/why-is-it-so-hard-to-draw-a...

And then they submit them to a CNA and get a CVE assigned, and then _everyone_ needs to deal with the not-actually-a-vulnerability report, especially when the not-actually-triggera…

That's very different; hair doesn't perform membrane transport along its length. The surface of an axon is critical to the cell's functioning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axolemm…

I loved synergy back in 2005 when it was _actually_ open source! It was probably my first open source contribution! But then it was enshittified and made impossible to build from s…

Well the comments tend to be superfluous "whats" (describing the code itself) instead of the more helpful "whys." And they're almost never the most useful "why nots".

I think you misunderstand me. I'm saying that your "ton of random stories constantly being published about Native Americans apparently being secret geniuses with magical powers" ar…

That's quite amusing; you don't see the connection between "magical powers" and sidelining real intellectual achievements? Also, Madden is not a master's student anymore. He's a 62…

Sure enough, thanks for the correction!

That version is ~~brightened significantly~~ (edit) a longer exposure; I like the darker one better. https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/amf-art002e000193/

Even worse, those features show "100% uptime" pre-existence on the breakdowns page too.

I'm still floored that Andres both found this and didn't ignore it. It's such a testament to an incredible engineer. (But also, my conspiratorially-inclined mind is quite entertain…

Thanks for proving my point perfectly.

This is such a classic example of online discourse in general. There are two options, and folks tribally cling to one or the other without realizing that both are legitimate and we…

@dang I think the link should go directly to this topic: https://www.rubyforum.org/t/ruby-newbie-is-joining-the-ruby-...

Right, the correct way here is to simply grant _everyone_ a license to _everything_ under the terms of the AGPL (or whatever). You can then separately license portions under other …

> "by choice because of" Goodness, that doesn't look like a choice to me.

Forget compilers, SSA is an immensely valuable readability improvement for humans, too.

That's quite the interesting perspective, but I'd say it gives "them" more organization and unified focus than is real. It's an open source language and ecosystem. Folks use it — a…

Willison's razor: Never dismiss behaviors as either malice or stupidity when there's a much more interesting option that can be explored.

OP (and I) can definitely distinguish the two. The trouble is that I can no longer find the humans who are actually posting valuable information.
