If linux gaming requires you use a blessed immutable OS where everything you run is either unprivileged or signed by a central entity, it's not much better than just using Windows at that point. Kernel level anti cheat is a failure. Yo

Yes, please stop using discord. But also maybe stop using discourse. Nothing is more off-putting about an open source project than seeing that discord is the main support forum. I am in the fortunate position of being able to just solve my

It's not really a trick, you need good quality coffee (lighter roasts are going to inherently end up less bitter and more acidic but realistically you can normally get something balanced from any roast level), a high quality grinder (t

Most of the actual drawbacks you describe (Lack of source control and "weird/bad language" are just wrong. You can source control this stuff just fine and if you don't like the language nothing stops you from transpiling

I've heard people call the old approach "outdated" and even "wrong" before. It's honestly the dumbest situation, where people eagerly use extremely complex databases as if they were indexed KV stores. Completel

It's super common to see websites which don't properly invalidate sessions because they use JWTs without tracking them anywhere.

Function pointers are easy if you typedef the function type. What a pointer to function (int) returning int? The difficult way: int (*p)(int); The easy way: typedef int Func(int); Func *p; The typedef reads just like a

I'm not so certain that the `safe_fprintf` to `fprintf` swap was ever itself meant to be malicious. There's some speculation about the addition of strerror but again.

There are literally at least 3 well designed and featureful alternatives to OpenRC which are not systemd: daemontools, runit, and s6-rc. There are also other lesser known options. For a real world in-situ use of runit, see voidlinux. It cou

I honestly have no idea why people find OpenRC and such things appealing. Literally any supervision based option is better than leaking your PIDs, storing them in PID-files and hoping that the value in the PID file still refers to the daemo

By centralising the secrets storage, you make it easier to change the secrets in one place rather than having to change a bunch of variables everywhere. As for how you change the secrets? You should have some automated way of pulling the cu

Scepticism of everything is pretty much a given. Science is based on assumptions, most good scientists are well aware of this (the number of assumptions you have to take on faith varies, but most people can agree on somewhere between 3 and

There are good definitions of consciousness which do not separate between "the external" and "the internal". I agree with these definitions, as a matter of experience there is only consciousness and the things which appe

Consciousness is probably the most vague term in the west. At least in eastern philosophy they made an attempt at nailing it down. Just because a lot of people use a word a lot, doesn't mean the word is well defined.

If you make a robot which screams in response to stimuli, is it conscious? I think this kind of reductionist approach to consciousness is bound to end up very weak in the face of these kinds of counterarguments. Maybe I missed your point.

I think it's possible that we've historically mis-attributed memory errors to cosmic rays when in fact they were caused by heat. If you ran that machine in a hotbox at 85°C for a year I think you probably would have experienced hi

Hmm, that's genuinely concerning. I would say a more appropriate thing to say is that for simple things like audio/video evidence (at least before the AI-video era of today) and maybe logs computers can be assumed trustworthy, but

I think de-stigmatizing suicide wouldn't exactly prevent slavery. The thing stopping slaves from killing themselves is probably not the social stigma surrounding suicide.

I don't think this is really advocacy for monorepo but rather advocacy against premature solidification of abstractions. Whenever I encounter a situation like this, the first step I take is to write the code without any API or interfac
