It takes a script kiddy considerably more effort to circumvent a captcha than just automating a site via curl or chromium. This difference is the increase in cost of an attack. This is the security gain.

In 2019, btrfs ate all my data after a power cut. Btrfs peeps said it sounded like my SSD was at fault. Well, ZFS is still chugging along on that drive. I am not surprised btrfs took ages to stabilize, and it will take ages again before I r

Can you do similar trickery to ensure `mount` doesn't list your bind mount?

The boring company was a play to ensure California doesn't bother with its owned rapid transit systems. Much like hyperloop.

Yes, that is why the owners of the computers (corps) use these tools - to maintain control over their hardware (and IP accessible on it). The end user is not the customer or user here.

Can you serve 200GB of an average 1mb large HTML page per second too, per core?

No, but one would be downloaded the first time I'm opening some NPM backdoorfest.

Yes, whenever I’m reading untrusted code, I don’t want to be using a language server - most of them execute arbitrary code, and I do not want that.

Whilst I don't understand the users who are hell bent on having a single-executable work, if you have users who are hell bent on using but a single executable, you have to meet them where they're at.

That's why relative positions are not used in CRDTs in the absolute sense. Entities are added via IDs and operations are recorded via IDs. If user one deletes line 3 and user 2 deletes line 4, user one will see lines 1, 2 and 5 and onw

The specific case of an edit to a line being applied to a different line than what it was intended for because a previous change deleted said line is exactly what CRDTs rectify. I'm not referring to merge conflicts per say, or that the

This is exactly the kind of scenario CRDTs rectify.

What's up with the nix shell file?

TCP wont always deliver your packets anyway , but it does have a mechanism of timing out if a party believes the other party did not receive something. UDP just means that if one cares for their data to be received, they must verify it them

I agree, simplicity is cool. That is why I love to support platforms that are simple to support. Say, if you have a piece of software that has it’s main entrypoint be a status icon, it suddenly becomes incredibly difficult to support gnome,

Feature parity matters, especially if adoption is a goal. I'm not sure Gnome cares about adoption, but since they're on the back foot, and if they're wanting to increase adoption, it'd be in their best interests to have

As a user, I would like to use a Firefox that is a real Firefox, not some chrome on top of a Safari instance. Similarily, I'd like to develop apps that make use of NFC without paying apple a 100$ a year. As a user, I'd like to use

I argue that I’d like to use a JIT in apps on the app store.

If you install heat pumps, which are the most efficient single-home way to heat a house, then you get AC for free.

They were the (one of the) first ones to usb-c on laptops. I don’t think they were ever planning to do usb-c on the iPhone, they had no reason to be this late.

SSD write endurance scares me more than running out of memory.

It might be different people saying that, and with time, some blockers are removed, some people migrate, and a new set of would be linux users get bumped up in the queue where they are now at their last obstacle to using linux.

The problem is not that a new variant of an enum could be introduced, it is that an error that a library returns has the option to return an *inner* error, which then could be a type defined by another library. Thus, if you develop library

There's a tangential issue in Rust where there's a concern around if a library should be exposing the error types of its dependencies. If they are exposed, semver is broken anytime a dependency is updated in a semver breaking fash

It'd be cool if you could like just slide out a drive from the primary laptop into the backup laptop and continue on as though nothing has happened. Maybe we could even do that with batteries.

Yes, but for this reason alone I believe there is far less FOSS software on iOS.

by eptcyka 2y ago
Due to the way apple restricts development on their platform, one has to recompile/reinstall homebrew software every 7 days for it to work, effectively killing FOSS development for people who don't own the bundle/app IDs. I o
