Viewing profile — wasting_time

Off-topic, but clicking this link instantly crashes my desktop in both Firefox and Chromium. Debian 13 with backports kernel, AMD laptop graphics. I have never seen anything like i…

Evry, not Every.

Does this mean exe.dev will become open source? Or is it not a developer tool?

It's a service, and I want to add a CLI for humans and agents. Aeolos' reply makes a lot of sense, I can refactor the backend into a library and add thin UI and API routes on top o…

You sort of answered your own question. Another reason is compiling with -Werror and hitting new warnings. Also, the version of the spec changes with almost every major release.

I made a UI with htmx, it works great. But now I want to add a JSON API to the program: I could reuse the same routes (/create, etc), but require an application+json header; or add…

I do the same for translated code. It's not creative work which is a prerequisite for being copyrightable. And avoid relying on direct LLM output for actual work to make sure I don…

The era of LLMs is similar to when Magic was discovered in the 1400s. The layperson may be able to get ahold of a spellbook, but without Understanding it comes with high risk of tu…

git subtree was the OG tool: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20090430 It has since been merged into git proper: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/git-man/git-subtree.1.en... https://docs…

I wish NATO would step in and annex the Russian region between Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It could become a new country rebuilt from modern standards. And permanently cuts Russian sup…

No source code. Maybe I'm spoiled after decades on Linux, but I really don't want to hand over my phone to an opaque binary blob.

Whoops. My mistake for only reading HN headlines and extrapolating. OP, please disregard this recommendation.

Fair point. Probably I should assert copyright on the translated work. In any case it ought to be part of the GPL. The current text is rather ambiguous.

Look for a "static site generator". Bearblog and Hugo are popular ones. Then you can host your site anywhere and don't have to worry about security problems.

The GPL isn't strict enough now that everyone has a copyright laundering machine at their disposal. I've been experimenting with adding a "translation" clause in accordance with th…

It seems your previous submissions were flagged, likely because you're posting from a brand new account with no karma. I vouched this post which makes it possible to comment. Proba…

I'm no physicist, this is just how I understood this thread; but AIUI it's better to think of the neutrino being in all three eigenstates simultaneously, and if any of the three "b…
