   I expect that LLMs will help to make a breakthrough in reverse engineering by helping giving meaningful names to variables/functions.

   We have the same issue. We have a browser extension that wants to extract data from given web pages (retailers, like yours), but there is no API to declare "I want to look at the content of this page only if the URL matches this patter

   uMatrix tells me there are 8 external sites to grant permissions for access to resources. Definitely not a "beauty".

   Totally useless as a webapp. More useful to me would be an UI for mysql_config_editor [1]. I should definitely make myself a TUI tool for it to go along my Go module for reading and writing ~/.mylogin.cnf [2]. [1]: https://d

    I thought I was a MS-DOS 6 expert. But I had never heard of MemMaker. Probably because when it appeared I was already an expert at tweaking CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT for gaming (I made a boot floppy with menu for each game that setup memo

    This assumes they are recorded and kept. Which is a wrong assumption. At best it may have recorded a high number of down steps in an health app because of the fall.

    Figma will now have $1B of break-up fees. They could distribute part of that cash to stakeholders and employees without diluting the shares.

    As I've been involved in 3 successive acquisitions of the company I work for, I can tell you that no integration happens at all until the deal is signed. Some plans may have been draws at the top executive level, but that stops here. E

    Looks interesting. However, I don't like to have a Go compiler on the production machine for security reasons, as well as to reduce even more the system base. I think instead that the compiler should be needed only to deploy binaries a

    Better connection is not my experience. In long trips, the car starts to loose the connection to the phone, even if connected by USB cable. Looks like a memory leak crashing the system. And no, I don't want to stop the car just to rest

    The more I read about Ken and Russ's admiration for Ken's work, the more I think there is an Easter egg in the Go compiler. It looks like Russ has long planted the seed for his own Turing Award. From the article: > Today, howev

    In this case, I think it is more about an Easter egg in the Go compiler. I'm expecting we will finally discover a backdoor propagated since at least Go 1.4.
