I think juniors and fake seniors are a lot more productive because they were never really able to measure their productivity so spamming LoC and trusting AI output makes sense to them.

Those engineers are annoying but I'm so sad about the previously great engineers who are doing this and now contributing slop everywhere.

Did the dice method prevent this attack? I only skimmed about it being that the seed was mistakenly using 40 bits of entropy but I don't know at which point of the generation the bug was.

I misunderstood your comment more and in that case I apologise. I thought you meant you review all packages you install or upgrade from any source. In my case I'm guilty of not checking brew updates (even from casks) on Mac, but I&#x27

Call me naive (I don't use arch) but if that's the only change then what's the point releasing the change? Unless pkgver refers to an external dependency or a binary, in which case you might as well say reading the changelog

Cold wallet was definitely recommended late 2025, along with the meme of using dice to generate the entropy. Ledger wasn't recommended by coldcard definitely was

I've built a lot of software like this over the past year. It's always kind of there but not quite and over time feels dirty. I don't think I'm still using any of it.

Not sure if it was Mac or phone, and I'm not sure if it was strictly emdash or one of the other seemingingly hundreds of different length dashes, but there was a time at least that -- would be rewritten to it. Also macs have this reall

Ever since I stopped using swap everywhere I haven't had to deal with that really annoying situation where a server is still online but limping and you're hoping ps and kill respond quickly enough before the server falls over

They also glued the short ribbon cable for the screen to the front of the iPod classic so that when the spinning HDD failed if you tried to open it and weren't very careful/aware of this it would rip off the motherboard. There was

Wondering about this. 10 years ago it was true but Brazil are a shadow of their former selves, and Argentina without the likes of Messi and Aguero aren't the same. I know they reached the final but Messi almost had the golden boot. Wou

I understand and appreciate your point, but takes like brexit are nuanced. They might be overall bad, but they will always have some benefits and in my opinion journalism (especially economic journalism) should explain those benefits even i

Thank you. I'll give them a try, if recommended I can forgive captchas because most companies don't really think about the negative user experience and it's unfair to punish one
