pre-commit is a convenience for the developer to gain confidence that pre-flight checks in CI will pass. I've found trying to make them automatic just leads to pain when they interact with any non-trivial git feature and don't han

Because the biggest cost at a lot of orgs is staff. Your typical software shop will be comical—the salary costs towering down on all the others like LeBron James gazing down at ants. The moment you go from productivity gains to staff reduct

I think the problem is that, as a group, people who care about software quality/craft don't actually produce higher quality software. You'll get good quality and garbage software out of the craftsman and pragmatist groups at

At this time I'm not really sure if anyone can really say there's a 'point' to passkeys anymore. They just are exportable now, both Google's and Apple's implementation are synced instead of device-bound putting

Slapping on OpenTelemetry actually will solve your problem. Point #1 isn't true, auto instrumentation exists and is really good. When I integrate OTel I add my own auto instrumentors wherever possible to automatically add lots of conte

Also NAT66 exists and I use it on my home network so you still have to have the machinery to do NAT traversal when needed. It's nice to use my public addresses like elastic IPs instead of delegating ports. IPv6 stans won't be able

I am in no way saying that this is cheap but 300 TB will set you back a little less than $6k with tax. Very attainable for people other than OpenAI and Facebook. And it's not crazy at all to snag a server with enough bays to house all

So they want them to send them an alert when there's a doubt that the threat is real? Company needs a better comms officer.

I mean these students now have the absolute funniest and most effective way to protest this bullshit. They could do more musical instruments, but I think bringing in comically fake depictions of outlandish weaponry would be legendary. A cer

If you turn overcommit off then when you fork you double the memory usage. The pages are CoW but for accounting purposes it counts as double because writes could require allocating memory and that's not allowed to fail since it's

These models have turned a bunch of NLP problems that were previously impossible into something trivial. I have personally built extremely reliable systems from the biased random number generator. Our f-score using "classic" NLP

Model itself can't output JSON reliably. It's on you building a system around the model to make sure it either returns correct output or errors which is trivial to do.

I mean kinda yeah. Literally any program running as your user can connect to dbus, grab your secrets and slurp your home directory. Flatpak 'solves' this issue by putting the program in a sandbox that can't talk directly to d

Zero disagreement but GNOME I don't think is the one in a position to fix this as I'm not aware of any implementation of the better application level security model that doesn't require a lot of kernel support.

Program running as user can read data owned by user. If this is a vulnerability then the entire linux userspace is compromised. Can you believe that applications I run can execute gpg2 and steal all my secrets? The dbus process is run by an

Yes and literature is a pretty bad way to teach critical analysis. My high school did political speeches from history and that segment was infinitely more enjoyable than The Scarlet Letter. You can just teach the thing you want to teach.

I have found that "low end" appliances avoid a lot of this nonsense since there's no money for extraneous parts and they've been using the exact same designs for decades.

Is it any worse than an army of consultants? It would be one thing if it was some off the shelf software but a huge chunk of this project seems to be a new custom application intended for student and faculty use. It just sounds like Accentu
