I'm swimming against the current with this, but I think the role is really cool. Blessed by your own company to wear the vestments of an expert, and expected by the customer to del…

To be fair the curl author is excellent at what he does.

Hopefully this improves workflow for installing plugins offline. It's not bad already but it's not as good as the connected experience.

I am guessing the author is either criticizing people who are anti-social (in the pop culture definition) or believes he was before and after some thinking arrived at the conclusio…

It's as if you know me, I can feel myself panic whenever anyone asks me anything, and I end up saying completely the wrong thing as if I wasn't fully in control of my thoughts.

Really you're down for over an hour a year? Unscheduled?

I wish they would just add ChaCha20-Poly1305 and Blake2 to FIPS, instead of ushering in the era of WireGuard forks.

gpt-image-1.5 works decently for generating images compared to old Sora, but you pay per generation. It's possible that monthly flat rates were too much of a loss leader for OpenAI…

This is cute but it's missing programmable documents (Microsoft) or hooks to use AI (Google) to really challenge either competitor.

"Anymore" is right though. This should be a call to change the global mindset regarding dependencies. We have to realize that the "good ol days" are behind us in order to take acti…

I hope Apple is paying attention, since their first gen AirTags are vulnerable to voltage glitching to disable the speaker and the tracking warning.

Why the name Shadowbroker? It sounds a lot like the Shadow Brokers which is the hacker group that stole and published some NSA hacking tools. Then again they were named after a vid…

This might be well-intended to restrict bot posting, but it also silences dissent. HN is one of the few places left on the internet where dissenting voices can post. A dissenting v…

We were verifying code before? And wouldn't AI help with verification at least for the trivial flaws?

> They intended to type “not significant” but omitted the word “not.” This one is pretty egregious.

To add on to this, in some organizations it's easier to assess risk according to RMF and similar frameworks if the application ships with stunnel and is configured from within than…

Counterpoint: if they had reached for sharding early, they would have avoided the technical debt of having to refactor their existing database. I don't think sharding is necessaril…

I think economies of scale, while only mentioned in the penultimate paragraph in TFA, is an underrated factor. Whenever something looks like alien technology but is available for $…

The messaging on the website pretty much agrees with you, then.

Can it do Oracle? That would be a gamechanger.

Maybe we should stop viewing DNA as source code or I guess more importantly as the sole source of heritability. It's clear that parts of DNA are somehow variably expressed. Differe…

Sorry for slow response. Snitch sounds like a tool that will do intercepting or alerting. Little Snitch is perfectly named in this regard. When it pops up prompting you for action,…

I don't like the name but I like the TUI, connection monitoring is perfectly handled by a TUI!

They probably are, but the Ukraine war has not shown that. The only large ship lost by either side was a Russian ship, the Moskva, which was sunk by a Neptune anti-ship missile. Ot…
