Do we have a way yet to tell if something on our system is compromised? There's plenty of end user software built on node, like Gemini CLI and LM Studio.

c++20's u8strings took a giant steaming dump on a number of existing projects, to the point that compiler flags had to be introduced to disable the feature just so c++20 would work with existing codebases. Granted that's utf-8 (no

Not to talk about the other side of the holy war too much, but one of the things I appreciate about GNU ELPA is it's treated as part of the Emacs distribution and needs to follow all the rules of Emacs proper as a result.

Have you seen what passes for quality on the random power banks sold by Amazon?

I had what I thought was a pretty good implementation, but I wasn't aware of the cache line bouncing. Looks like I've got some updates to make.

I've heard in the past that ntsync is a big deal for audio plugins via yabridge as well. Not sure how much that's going to reduce the existing CPU penalty there.

Yeah, fair enough, the problem here is that the credentials were stolen, the fact that the exploit was packaged into a .pth is just an implementation detail.

Edit: ignore this silliness, as it sidesteps the real problem. Leaving it here because we shouldn't remove our own stupidity. It's pretty disappointing that safetensors has existed for multiple years now but people are still distr

I'm not a vegan but I eat Beyond. The stuff is perfectly good on its own merits. The steak tips have great protein numbers, take hot sauce well, and therefore makes a great breakfast.

With all the lovely qualified immunity doctrine? That's wishful thinking.

Very easy solution to users forgetting their passwords. It's to not need a password for your software. Something that once upon a time, Microsoft did not require with their operating systems.

SMT is your example here for the anti-grind, anti-boring-tbc? I guess SMT2 was bizarrely anti-grind in a sense, but I dropped it when it turned out that leveling up made me weaker .

Design a concurrency implementation? I sure hope they would spend more than 3 minutes on it! Concurrency lends itself to subtle bugs even when experts write it. I'd gladly take a junior dev to do any of that work there, because they ca

by Blackthorn 8mo ago
Some of you folks think way too highly of yourselves. Junior devs are awesome. You tell them what needs doing, if it's not well defined you have them write a document to figure it out, and then they churn away at it and will often surp

Pretty favorably, because the coding agents suck.

Yes, actually. Knowingly violating the policies of a project while pretending you aren't, so you can continue participating in the fully voluntary project, does make you a jerk. If you don't like the policies they set, just leave.

To be fair, a lot of that is because the DX7 (or rather, FM synthesis in general) is just absolutely arcane when it comes to programming.

That used to be the case (see the joke about printers) but AI completely reversed it.

Talk about a self-aware wolves moment. Why is your use of AI okay but theirs isn't?

We find constexpr (and associated templates) essential for when we need to avoid branch penalties. It makes the code so much simpler and cleaner than the alternative. I'm glad the language caters to the needs of everyone, even if any i

You can just set -std=c++03 and program like the language never evolved if that's your personal preference. Other than that, there's always an interesting psychology at play in software engineering but it really seems to come out

Turns out it's only slop if it comes from anyone else, if you generated it it's just smart AI usage.

They are willing to kill people and then justify it by calling them terrorists. Plausible deniability is pointless.
