A bugtracker is inherently dynamic.

My residential ISP doesn't support IPv6 at all. If a site is ipv6 only, I can't reach it unless I use a VPN.

Perhaps the biggest problem is 5 cents or less isn't enough to cover minimum transaction fees.

Also a lot of them may or may not be safe depending on additional context that you don't have in the test.

Even more than that, a lot of vulnerabilities require untrusted input to exploit, but the library or executable is usually only used with trusted input. For example, suppose the ch…

IME, usually you care more about latency than throughput for normal interactions, and there is a noticeable difference between the slowest ones, and the fastest ones, but I've trie…

I like biking ok, but where I live it is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter for it to be a good mode of transportation. Even if the roads were better designed for bik…

Perhaps, but it would be pretty unusual to use a commit/hash id instead of a version tag, or the main development branch.

Most AUR "helpers" show you the PKGBUILD and/or a diff thereof and ask you to confirm that it looks ok before continuing the install. At least by default. Maybe most users just ign…

At the very least that has the advantage that it's possible to make more of it, so you aren't dependent on a limited sample of standard water.

Unfortunately, there is an incentive to make the patent application contain just enough detail that a patent clerk with relatively little knowledge of the subject will grant a pate…

It is beneficial for society as a whole, even if it isn't beneficial to the founders and investors accrual of wealth.

It depends on the field, and to some extent on the particular patent officer assigned, but one of the failings of the US patent system is many patents don't actually provide enough…

That's not surprising. Claude code is buggy enough, and releases break things often enough, that I wouldn't expect users to distinguish bugs introduced by switching to rust-based-b…

It would have been better if they hadn't required you to migrate at all. And a lot of people, including me, ran into issues during the migration process. Thankfully I was able to g…

You need to be careful with blocking based on IP. IP blocks get reassigned every once in awhile, and you can end up blocking the wrong people. I've seen multiple cases where a bloc…

IMO, using copyrighted works to train models should only be "fair use", if the models are then released as (at least) open weight, so that the public can benefit from it. (Although…

Not any more. But in college I worked in an astronomy research group.

1. The satellite is usually significantly brighter than the thing you are observing. Often bright enough to saturate pixels (which can spill over to adjacent pixels). 2. If you are…
