In this case the admins of this instance voluntarily disclosed the breach. What are the odds that in some future breach, on some other instance, the users will not benefit from the same treatment? And how should Mastodon users behave online

My experience was very similar. Copilot became a sort of improved autocomplete, that would save copy/pasting repeated variable names into tests, logs, etc, but offered no other significant improvements. Its suggestions were frequently

I have trouble imagining a reasonable person being interested in porn containing a minor government official, let alone being confused as to its authenticity. I can't even see reasonable people being interested in genuine celebrity s

From what I recall, it's not stated that the family who takes in the boy are cannibals. That could be one interpretation, I suppose, if depression is your goal. But if you take them at their word, they're "carrying the fire&q

Rats, pigeons, deer, etc are doing fine. Human extinction would require a malevolent AI willing and capable of waging total war on a global scale. That sounds like sci-fi to me.

Nothing about either phrasing sounds condescending to me. However, communication is more than words. You can ask about feelings with a gentle tone, a supportive gaze at eye level, and a hand on the shoulder. Or you can do it from above with

I went all in on Rails a couple of years ago. Although the overall feature set is amazing, code discoverability has been a frustrating stumbling block from day one. The "magic" (convention over configuration, autoloading, metaprog

Assuming you're not being facetious - how do you personally feel about perishing (violently?) in a global apocalypse within 20 years?

My limited personal experience with Microsoft accounts mirrors the anecdotes elsewhere in the thread. HOWEVER, the article glosses over the real story: a child obtained complete, unsupervised access to the author's computer, and wouldn

I have no reason to doubt that harmful chemicals were released. I can understand that the risks haven't been communicated to the satisfaction of the public. And I can see how that would trigger a panic. My issue is that a random person

There's a massive thread on the Reddit front page about this incident. In a video, a man films the dark ominous sky while ranting about the toxic fumes. Hundreds of comments express rage and alarm. Check the local weather and it turns

Adversity can be character-building as you say, but too much can be disruptive or traumatic, especially for a child. Studying next to beatings, arrests, and armed classmates sounds like the latter end of the spectrum.

Weighing yourself over the course of weeks and months will reveal trends, but over the course of a single day, body weight fluctuates wildly, sometimes by several pounds. This depends on food intake, water intake, bowel movements, sweating,

Everything is just luck. Genetics, upbringing, and environment all strongly influence skill and success. With different luck he could have been the youngest gang leader in the hood.

By what means should be people be judged, if not by their public words and actions? Any other factors are, by definition, unknowable. Musk's words and actions have been very public indeed. What additional context can we gain by specula

This may be true for most "Leetcode Easy" questions, but in my experience, Medium and Hard ones require familiarity with graph traversal, sorting algorithms, dynamic programming, etc. In other words: dedicated study.

Cool project. I'm very disappointed however, to see the creators using clever editing and high production values to deliberately lie about otherwise minor shortcomings. The outer case isn't 3D printed - it's an off-brand iPho

Imprisonment and forced labor already exist. Remote control weapons already exist. Nobody is wearing explosive collars. You should think about solving these problems in the real world, not a fantasy cyberpunk dystopia.

Luckey's suicide device is indeed disturbing, but this scenario is just outlandish sci-fi. Why jump through all the technical hoops when you can pay a goon to pull a trigger? Historically, this has already happened a million times.
