For a moment I thought this was another case of AI psychosis, like the post from week ago about the "content-addressed lattice heap" but this is actually pretty neat.

Ironically news outlets like to use the phrasing you rightfully point out as absurd. Not sure if they just do it randomly or only when they get orders to push a certain narrative. >Car plows into Christmas market in Germany, killing at l

Don't most companies have a Git repo for skills that you can pull?

Because it costs money? Believe it or not, most places don't pay you 6 digit salaries for shuffling around YAML.

It is a fantastic init system/service supervisor. My problem with it is basically everything else. I think its developers see systemd as central to the entire system, basically the userspace counterpart to the kernel. I prefer the appr

SDL is a relatively high level API and framebuffer style graphics work fine on it. I think there are some edge cases for X11 with non-compositing window manager where you will get interesting glitches if the window moves.

I'd agree if POSIX provided something like an open() flag which made the changes visible atomically, but as it stands, the rename() idiom is the mainstream way of durable file writing, so it is commonly used. Practical example using bu

Hard links suffer from the general issue of there being two styles of writing to a file - open(2)/write(2) vs rename(2). Depending on the internals of each program you use to update the file, you will get very different results. This i

If you blindly TOFU ssh sessions, those can be pwned easily in many common use cases. Legacy software configurations like NFS with IP authentication will be bypassed. Realistically the most likely scenario is using your home as a VPN, or a

AFAIK Lambda and everything else will use micro-VMs. No serious company would use a shared kernel design for workloads in different security contexts. (Personally I wouldn't even use the same hardware host, but sometimes sacrifices hav

And how many of those actions do uncached downloads instead of building self-contained offline images... Speaking of which, I wonder if GitHub has implemented any HTTP interception for common mirror sites, like used by apt, etc.

If you have /proc available, you don't even need to disable ASLR (all mappings are available to you)

I strongly suspected that there was some pre/postprocessing going on when trying to get it to output rot13("uryyb, jbyeq"), but it's probably just due to massively biased token probabilities. Still, it creates some hilar

I see this point a lot but it never really made sense to me. What exactly does IPv6 bring to the table that makes it unnecessary to remember IP addresses? Especially for anything more advanced than just looking up a hostname.

I'm not sure there are many causes that have "50% of people incandescently furious about it", except maybe heavily diluted positions like "corruption = bad". Even just based on voter turnouts. If you see this kind o

...except for HN "unvote"/"undown" feedback which is especially unfortunate due to the shared prefix. Every time I upvote something I squint at the unvote/undown to make sure I didn't misclick.

Interestingly, the section doesn't actually have to start with a number. TCL man pages use the 'n' section and 'man' resolves them just fine despite the ambiguity. Conversely, manpage names can also start with numbe

I'm using Hyprland right now for its wayland support, but IMO so far the best mental model for window management I've seen is that of herbstluftwm with static layouts (you can still use dynamic tiling and tabs with it of course)

I don't deny that node/npm is useful for building servers, devtools for JS development itself, etc. but as an end user I haven't encountered anything useful which requires having it on my machine.

This sounds like satire but isn't - I just make sure the nodejs/npm packages don't exist on my system. I've yet to find a crucial piece of software that requires it. As much as I love that cute utility that turns maps in
