I see… The site said an Auto Wiki didn’t exist for my repo but could be generated via app.mutable.ai, so I went there and assumed it was substantially the same product despite the slightly different interface. I guess I didn’t find the act

[Edit: Apparently I’m reviewing the wrong product; see replies.] I tried the app version on one of my old repos. It’s a somewhat challenging test case because there are few comments and parts of the code are incomplete, though I’d say the

How typical of PWAs that even a demonstration site, which should demonstrate the best that PWAs can be, has a glaring UX bug on iOS. Namely: if you swipe from the sides of the screen to go back/forward, you get a duplicate animation.

I use all of those tools but the inconsistency drives me crazy as it's hard to remember which syntax to use where. Here's how to match the end of a word: ripgrep, Python, JavaScript, and practically every other non-C language: \b

Interesting, it supports an n-gram indexer. ripgrep has had this planned for a few years now [1] but hasn't implemented it yet. For large codebases I've been using csearch, but it has a lot of limitations. Unfortunately... I jus

The bypass is Apple-specific… which it must be, because the security feature being bypassed, CTRR, is itself Apple-specific. I don’t think Android phones or Raspberry Pi even have any equivalent.

(Not the OP.) “Terrifying and absolutely nuts” may be over the top, but in my experience it can be extremely helpful to have the source code to as many components as possible when something goes wrong. Sometimes you find a bug in one of th

I’d be shocked if it was. Mostly because these are exactly the kind of bugs you find whenever you go digging into crusty old code. It would be more surprising if the image parsing code wasn’t vulnerable. And while these probably aren’t

FYI, that's not how macOS app bundles work. While ELF binaries typically list the shared libraries they depend on with just a filename, Mach-O binaries use a path. This can be an absolute path, which is typically used for OS-provided

Judging by some YouTube videos I’ve seen, ChatGPT with GPT-4 can get pretty far through a game of chess. (Certainly much farther than GPT-3.5.) For that duration it makes reasonably strategic moves, though eventually it seems to inevitabl
