I find the attitude of the Ladybird devs refreshing though, and it kinda aligns with my opinions about Rust. I never fell in love with Rust or got particularly excited about adopting it. But, I just don't see a serious alternative (may

Yeah I think for SMTP it's easy since it's perfectly scalable to do manual approval for each mail. But not really sure how to set up safe search. One idea I had was to say "nobody would ever put a secret in the subject line,

Yeah I have been planning to give it its own accounts on my self hosted services. I think the big challenge here is that I'd like my agent to be able to read my emails, but... Most of my accounts have Auth fallbacks via email :/ S

Yeah I think this is gonna have to be the approach. But I don't like the fact that it has all the complexity of a baked in sandboxing solution and a big plugin architecture and blah blah blah. TBH maybe I should just vibe code my own..

I hate constantly discussing this but this one is quite interesting. "It's a great example of..." definitely set off my slop alarm. On the other hand it isn't actually "a vague retelling of the article" it&#x27

Does anyone know a Claw-like that: - doesnt do its own sandboxing (I'll set that up myself) - just has a web UI instead of wanting to use some weird proprietary messaging app as its interface?

The Linux kernel has been using __attribute___((cleanup)) for a little while now. So far, I've only seen/used it in cases where the alternative (one goto label) isn't very bad. Even there it's basically welcome. But ther

I guess what I'm saying is: for very large complex features, I don't want one big commit. I want to review a series of commits and then I want to have that series of commits persist in the history. This is how Gerrit operates &quo

by bjackman 8mo ago
You can't "stack" MRs in Gitlab though right? So if you're merging a complex feature you just have one huge mega commit?

FWIW as someone who sadly has about 10% of his brain constantly engaged in AI detection when I read HN, absolutely nothing about the announcement struck me as feeling AI generated. (I feel guilty for pointing it out but I guess it's ac

Is there a good code review tool out there? The best one I've used is Gerrit, at least it has a sensible design in principle. Aside from that I've only used GitHub and Gitlab which both seem like toys to me. (And mailing lists, lo

I do run NixOS, but it's easy to make mistakes in a complex setup.

Very likely people who actually work on RE at the NSA also have access to IDA Pro licenses. I don't work in this space, so take it with a pinch of salt, but my understanding is this is a fairly long term strategic initiative to _eventu

I wish this would be the default. I expose my homelab port 22 directly to the internet. I'm _pretty_ sure I always always always disable password auth but I do worry about it because most distros have an unsafe default. (A lot of this

The discourse about AI is definitely the worst I've ever experienced in my life. One group of people saying every amazing breakthrough "doesn't count" because the AI didn't put a cherry on top. Another group of peop

The thing is, I doubt anyone at TikTok ever says "this design choice is good because it's addictive". Almost certainly, their leadership gives them metrics to target, like watch time, and they just hypyothesise and experiment

I think weird acting styles can be part of the joy of watching older media. Seems like films mostly switched over to "modern" acting in the 70s (?) and TV had a lot more variety in style (and quality lol) way up into the "mod

I find that respect for safe following distance varies quite a lot amongst the places I've driven. E.g. - Switzerland and (somewhat surprisingly) UK: pretty good, people doing idiotic shit is rare enough that I'll usually comment

My guess is that CCC works if you disable static keys/DKMS/etc. In the specific case of __jump_table I would even guess there was some work in getting the Clang build working.

Well part of the issue is that it isn't actually a CLI tool. It takes control of the whole terminal and then badly reimplements a CLI...

I don't think this is more challenging than the browser thing. The scope is much smaller. The fact that this is "only" 100k lines is evidence for this. But, it's still very impressive. I think this is Anthropic seeing th

WoL is easier if it works. My experience has been that with consumer hardware it usually doesn't. Debugging it is more hassle than it's worth IMO. I think if you don't have a proper mobo with a BMC then just throwing in a KVM
