But then you just move the security issue elsewhere with more to secure. Now we have to think about securing the automation system, too. This is the same argument I routinely have with client id/secret and username/password for SM

Cloud providers have put a lot of time and effort into making you believe every web app needs 99.9999% availability. Making you pay for auto scaled compute, load balancers, shared storage, HA databases, etc, etc. All of this just adds so mu

"Someone viewed your profile" with a blurred photo of them. So you know exactly who it is, but you won't just tell me in the email? I have to open the app/site so you can tick your engagement box for the day? So glad I&#

"Here's what AI came up with and it mostly worked the one time I tested it. Might need improving". No. I don't want to test and pick through your shitty LLM generated code. If I wanted the entire code base to be junk, it

I was in the same position as you when I started my law degree! My solution was: - Take notes on paper - Scan with Genius Scan (free) or similar - Upload to Microsoft Document Intelligence on Azure to get character recognition and a PDF out

We have just stopped accepting PRs entirely for now. It's been utterly exhausting. We never got many PRs beforehand anyway so the uptick in entirely LLM written PRs was very noticeable. We do continue to argue with LLM-submitted securi

Why wouldn't Wikipedia just capture and host this themselves? Surely it makes more sense to DIY than to rely on a third party.

Because when they eventually get their wet dream of 7-day renewals, everyone replies upon them once a week. LE being down for 48-hours could take out a big chunk of the Internet. Certificates have historically been a "fire and forget&q

Most providers do for dedicated servers, or make you agree to a fixed term. I don't believe they do the same for VPS / Cloud servers.
