How does what I said suggest that one isn't allowed to dislike it? You are free to dislike it all you want. That doesn't mean that it somehow doesn't solve a ton of problems that prior art either didn't solve at all or w

Yes? Systemd is not an init system. To compare it to init systems is to make an apples-to-oranges comparison. Systemd's "scope creep" is a stereotypical haters argument and is nonsensical. The 'Unix Philosophy' was

You... Do know that this is just a downright weird take, right? Systemd is software. Software has bugs.

This is utterly disgusting. It took me 6 months to actually fully apply to SNAP (and I count the time it took for me to actually get a card). I seriously can't imagine this is legal, but if it somehow is ruled to be so, I can't im

Am I the only one who thinks that this will effectively enable vigilantism? What is stopping this from trickling downwards to lower levels of government and law enforcement? And then, of course, it trickles down to the citizenry because of

Yep, it did. If I have the right bill (H. R. 5371), it's SEC. 781 if you want to see the actual text. (The table of contents is horribly bad though, and only covers divisions and titles and nothing beneath it though.)

This nonsense of tacking bills onto other bills needs to end. As does this nonsensical fearmongering of Hemp and Marijuana. Absolutely none of it is actually evidence-driven from what I remember. I know the CDC has (had?) side effect stuff

I tried setting up Zitadel and couldn't because for whatever reason it's Nix build isn't reproduceable. So Nix always breaks when trying to verify that it, you know, actually built correctly. So I eventually gave up.

I've tried Keycloak and quite a few other IAM solutions, and finally settled on Kanidm. Not because it was written in Rust but because the project was easy to learn and understand and it wasn't that hard to hook things up to it. I

I was trying to create an account but it kept saying the confirmation code was wrong. Idk if that's a bug but... I was using the audio captcha. Still, the website seems pretty neat!

I think I tried that (or a derivative of it, didn't know Samsung was the primary developer) that broke in some very very weird ways. Will try this version, thanks!

I'm 99 percent sure that executive orders are not at all legally binding. They're just ways of setting out policy. But the president does not have the authority to override congress with an executive order. An executive order can

How is .NET debugging on the command line? I don't use IDEs that often and last time I tried making something serious with .NET I couldn't find any kind of reliable debugger that I could just spin up and get to grips with. And I w

Right, but that's what I'm getting at: PDF is just a terrible format all round. People do things with it that have nothing to do with document preservation. We have PDF forms, we have PDFs able to execute arbitrary JS (which can m

by ethin 11mo ago
IMO PDFs should just be gone. Nobody should use them. They are a solution in search of a problem. The most common argument I hear is "well we need document fidelity!" But IMO this completely ignores the fact that this just isn&#x2

Hot take but I seriously think both Agile/Scrum and "make a single dev do a ton of things that wouldn't necessarily count as software development" (like RDB design and management) is the direct cause of all of these prob

This phrasing is not by itself unusual; this almost mirrors the requirements for strict scrutiny.

I know, and that's a good thing. That's probably one of the biggest blockers for it's wider adoption. I hope that CMake can eventually get similar abilities for calling into SPM or just outright handling Swift package manifes
350.
by ethin 11mo ago
Swift just needs to gain cmake bidirectional support, like, SPM should be able to compile CMake projects and vice-versa, or be able to use vcpkg. Once that's done, I could very much see myself switching to it for a lot of things.

These people will literally claim that just bumping into them is "assault". Where do you think they're getting the "1000 percent increase" stats from? (For those who aren't aware, what the DHS is really trying

Yes. That's what my comment was getting at. And no, they shouldn't be allowed to set the price. If I buy a license from Steam, I can't name my price, so I don't see why these companies should either. If they want my data

by ethin 11mo ago
IMO a company should lose all control over technology once you've purchased it. Doesn't matter if it's "smart" or not. If the company wants to do something like telemetry, they can buy a license from you for that da

This problem is only magnified when you consider our voting system. Any ranked voting system inherently runs into Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, which makes what we have right now not exactly democratic. The solution would be to switch

I always find the claims that we'll have AGI impossible to believe, on the basis that nobody even knows what AGI is. The definition is so vague and hand-wavy that it might as well have never been defined in the first place. As in: I se

This! And vibe-coded solutions usually will implement stuff your project already has in it, instead of reusing what already exists. Or Claude will massively over-engineer something that could be collapsed to 30 lines or something.

If it's obviously AI generated and is an absurdly long PR, I'd ask them to extensively justify the complexity (especially if it does side quest-isms like this example where the AI created a DSL and stuff: why exactly is the DSL re

Yeah, pretty much. I would be less disagreeable about Wayland if they had solved this problem early (and yes, they should've thought about this early during Wayland because the most prominent target is desktop environments). But they d
