    As a web dev a lot of this is simply ongoing maintenance of a largely unknown quantity. Most web devs know React and use it extensively; Astro is something they'll have to learn on…

    This was far more of an option in the 1980s and earlier; a CEO being compensated 20-30x a line employee was pretty standard around then; now it's closer to 250-300x. I think there'…

    This does suppose there are good jobs in the area, which can be a bit hit or miss especially out in the sticks. Not to say one couldn't move, but moving isn't in the cards for ever…

    > Taking this argument to its extreme, does this mean that introducing new technology always decreases technology? I assume you mean "decreases security" by context. And in that ca…

    In all fairness, a LOT of this was copied over from the military. From ranks to "High Year Tenure" (aka "Up or Out") nothing here is particularly innovative.

    SKG is basically "right-to-repair" but for games. I do contend that if your phone breaks and the company says "we won't fix it and you aren't allowed to" then the government isn't …

    The text "prevented further rollout and ultimately got the cameras shut down" is verbatim in their post maybe a few sentences after talking about how the muni piloted them.

    Depends on the token; JWTs usually have payloads that are only base64 encoded. As well, if there's a refresh token in there it can be used to generate more tokens until invalidated…

    I don't consider myself fully qualified to speak to this, so please take it with a grain of salt. From what I gather it seems like you could potentially create scenarios where TOCT…

    I've only dabbled, so I'm happy to have people with more linux-side knowledge to call me out on any inaccuracies here, but... io_uring is effectively as "secure" as any other sysca…

    Similar sentiments here. I can't find much common ground with Charlie Kirk but that doesn't merit an assassination. Unfortunate all around, and a situation not too dissimilar from …

    The GP did not say anything about war continuing due to logical outcomes or nationally-motivated ones. Most wars simply are personal pursuits wrapped in convenient excuses.

    Curious how we're defining "democracy" and "free market" with this one. I wonder how countries with a pure democracy and an actually free market compare to the republic and regulat…

    Damn, what country is this in? Maybe the US could learn a thing or two from this level of attention to detail.

    Yeah, I think they didn't mean max "accurate" integer and rather meant max "safe" integer.

    They actually did NOT repeal the portion relevant to software development being considered research - it was actually made permanent and is pretty trivial to find by searching for …

    In all fairness, plenty of people leaving the trappings of Big Tech are pretty capable of uprooting and doing business elsewhere; California offers relatively little other than wha…

    Partially! The text of the OBBBA actually made permanent the section of the tax code that treats software development as research and amortizes accordingly. However, because nothin…

    My approach is to compliment the LLM on something I've not thought of and ask it to sell me on the approach, expound on its position, and ask probing questions. If I get a feeling …

    Not going to lie, this is one of the few reasons I use LLMs at all. Even if I feel like I have a decent idea if I don't have anyone around to listen I'll just lob thoughts at an AI…
