I find this article a useful framing for understanding what is happening to GitHub right now. The original is from 2022, but this 2023 repost includes a relevant preface.

The text reads like an LLM was involved in this.

https://github.com/doy/rbw is a Rust alternative to the Bitwarden CLI. Although the Rust ecosystem is moving in NPM's direction (very large and very deep dependency trees), you sti…

Finally https://www.metaculus.com/questions/9558/50-of-users-access-... can resolve!

Property-based testing is nice, but making it coverage-driven is a game changer. It will explore code paths that naive random inputs will not trigger in a thousand years. In Rust t…

I contacted the EU DMA team about my concerns and got a real reply within 24 hours. Not just an automated message, it looked like a real human read my message and wrote a reply. I'…

It's a Linux thing too. It bit me in particular when running a script in a container that defaulted to ascii rather than utf-8 locale.

> Python now uses UTF-8 as the default encoding, independent of the system’s environment. Nice, not specifying the encoding is one of the most common issues I need to point out in …

There is a sweet spot for the bass. Lower is better for deep bass, but too low and it stops being a recognizable note, and consumer speakers can't reproduce it. This effect exists …

They accept Monero too
