   It would be very helpful to see even just one example of this syndrome posted so others could become better informed.

   Also a big plus for Go: no async.

   Impossible to measure in absolute terms but I think it's clear productivity increases relatively when LLMs are used. At least that's my strong experience.

   Um. This is the forum for an industry that outsourced its entire core of what they do to Microsoft (GitHub).

   Perhaps worth noting that this Costco experience is localized. I've experienced it myself in Los Angeles when visiting, and when I lived in the Bay Area. No carts. Takes 10 minutes to get a parking spot, etc. But here in Montana Costco

   They might just compute a hash over the binary, or the code space in memory.

   The "Hunting for Exploitation" section is unclear to me: "The exploit leaves a distinctive trace in kernel logs when it runs." Hmm. Wouldn't a system with a compromised kernel also log exactly what the attacker want

    It was there but mystery meat vs whatever version you might need for your binary.

    WFH and a big dollop of "socialism" in the US. Supposedly the reason many voters felt that their lives were better under Trump 1.0 was due to the various subsidy and rent freeze measures taken by the US government during the pande

    Another explanation is that their expectation of the future value of money is very low. If money turns out to devalue 10X then owning stocks (call on the future income stream of companies selling presumably useful things/services in th

    I'm just relieved to read that it isn't in fact...in space.

    This bothered me some months ago, so I began posting all the non-sensitive LLM sessions I made online. That way when someone makes an assertion I can present evidence.

    This is a myth in my experience. LLMs are good at all the kinds of programming I've tried using them on, including many cases that are very far from "CRUD web development".

    The good thing about this is they thereby also support FIDO2 hard tokens such as Yubikey. The UI is often confusing but you can always tell it to provision the key to your Yubikey rather than the OS enclave.

    Async is an anti-pattern but sometimes inexperienced developers don't realize that and will infect your codebase with it.

    I've seen many bugs get to production for the lack of such testing.

    Imagine you are the developer of k8s hosted systems. Now imagine you want to test your systems in a repeatable fashion. You'd need some way to spin up a test k8s cluster, deploy your application, subject it to a test workload. That&#x2

    Article could benefit from some editing: the poem is from variously the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries! After reading a few times I get that one date is the supposed composition date, the second is the publication date of Beade, and the last is
