> It is abundantly clear the USA is no longer a dependable ally An extreme and inaccurate statement. The US is still party to NATO Article 5, meaning the blood of our young people is pledged to be shed to defend, say, Estonia. That has n

In the boom times people get too cocky and in the retrenchment they get too pessimistic. Bill Gates came to my university in 2001 or 2 urging people to major in computer science because the dot-com bust was bad and everyone was convinced co

Does not make economic sense, there is still the cost of panels and transmission. There might be a surplus now but dropping the price to zero will increase use (demand). I was surprised the story does not even specify "residential,&quo

I've been using emacs for over 20 years and had no idea about `M-x tetris`. Worth reading just for that!

Even if the heyday of profitable journalism fact checkers were a magazine thing. Newspapers generally did not use them, they moved too quickly for that and had too much space (newsprint between the ads) to fill. On the other hand, in that e

People are allowed to crticize a project whether or not they want to fix it. It was a mild, brief mention of one issue. Accurate, too, so not slander. You seem to think there is a conspiracy against Caddy. That seems doubtful. But I could s

Ok fine, instead of poring over someone’s comment history why not enjoy some free time?

Instead of poring over this person’s history maybe fix the bug?

by eduction 1y ago
You responded to a specific technical observation stated briefly and without emotion with a nasty personal attack. Oh and now I see you work on the project. Hard pass on Caddy if this is how you respond to mild criticism.

Chesterton's Fence - why did everyone start encyrpting their websites? His critiques of why LE is flawed security wise are spot on and I suspect something like SSH keys as he suggests would be pretty much as good. But there's a re

John Deere bricking someone’s tractor because they put in an unrecognized spare part has nothing to do with supporting some poor hard working software developer who would otherwise starve. It’s using software for evil. (And if I had to bet

Why did we have to call them “lock files?” There is an existing thing known as a lock file for actual file locking. Call them literally anything else. Freeze file, version spec, dependency pin… There really are only two hard problems in com

Wait… Koskivuori? Well of course they took his Linux patch right away, this is blatant Finnish favoritism! Imagine if some poor Estonian tried similar… ;-) Just kidding, very cool to see a blow by blow of landing a Linux patch. I felt sim

If people knew about all the vulns in their software the vulns wouldn’t exist. You can’t disclose if you don’t know. And establishing when you “should” know or what counts as an actionable report will require basically a lawyer to untangle.

The sentence says you can fall under more onerous terms if the project is “organized,” whatever that means, and even under the loosest terms you are required to report security issues to an outside organization. So there is liability if you

This shouldn’t be downvoted. “I do not accept liability” is literally the core of every open source license. Go look. Even MIT.

Auto editing rules written by subliterate YC partners made this headline completely illegible. Almost as bad as techmeme headlines.

And you’re suggesting that if the US does it it is ipso facto a good idea? Strange reasoning. This is also apples and oranges. Running credit cards involves knowing exactly where people are located. You do in a real sense “decide” to do bus

The obvious move is to take cues from the 787 program in terms of composites, to cut fuel burn. Adds some creature comforts like larger windows as a side bonus. https://youtu.be/lapFQl6RezA?si=Nef60vinA7hXbnta

It’s you who are mixing things. Putting up a website outside the UK and “deciding to provide services in the UK” are two decidedly different things. UK legal imperialism is self centered and unrealistic and undermines speech the world over.

Incredibly shallow post. The level of validation and defensiveness in any piece of code will generally have to do with how close to the edge of your application it is — that is, how close to the input. Functions near the core can assume mor

Maybe add those links in the posts themselves. The first one mentions what the second one will be about, you could just turn that into a link. Or have a bullet list of all the links you add to each post in the series.

You should explain what the AdLib is. This whole thing just drowns in jargon and quick technical assertions that are never explained. It is skimming the surface (as though clipped together from various poorly understood sources) rather than
