> Messages promoting capitalism or meritocracy Fascinating. I thought anarchy was supposed to be all about unfettered freedom of association and trade with no governmental oversight. They seem to be defining it as opposition to the exist

I wonder if something like quickcheck could be used to randomly generate characters which pass the criteria. I don't know how it would handle Paul though...

I killed Paul when trying to get the atomic numbers to equal 200. My plan was to add "H" until the rule was satisfied. Then, I thought I accidentally went past it, so I started holding backspace. I went too far.

I've only been in the industry for ~3 years, so take this with a grain of salt. Mentorship is a two way street. Reach out to your assigned mentor or anyone with whom you have a good rapport. Ask for a 1:1 meeting if you don't al

Wait, the impact is beneficial? I've been worrying about running out of cartilage in my knees throughout my life. I had considered running to be a limited time thing that will just run out at some point.

So, they rewrote energy production using rust?

Both of you seemed to be talking past each other. You were saying RedHat can stop selling to someone. They were saying RedHat can't stop a customer from redistributing the source. If I understand correctly, both are correct. Though, I

My favorite thing from that uniqueness website is that it shows cookies enabled as more common and thus more anonymizing. Not that they wouldn't just fingerprint you using those cookies if it was enabled. The other interesting thing is

What do you mean by "holding everyone up?" I'm constantly self conscious about this. I refuse to drive more than 5mph above the speed limit after a particular incident a few years back. I drive quite a bit on a 3 lane 75mph h

I find it funny that the guy wrote a long, seemingly thoughtful post. Then, he responds to all the top replies with memes and maybe a phrase. The pro-crypto people there also seem to be talking past his statement, trying to convince him of

I'm excited about them making it faster to produce. I finished the most recently published audiobook in a series this weekend. The author posts unpublished chapters to a site called Royal Road. I listen to books while running and drivi

People "conflate" the two because that's the logical implication of the phrase when one does not have the historical context of living through and being aware of the early days of the open source movement. Words do have meani

What avenue does the EU actually have to enforce it outside their territory if the business doesn't actually operate in the EU?

It is still a thing. News sites have them. Most bloggers I've come across do. HN even has one which is what I use.

I don't really care what that organization says. The most obvious meaning of that phrase is that the source code is publicly visible. If someone wants to describe a particular license, then they should refer to it or the category of li

Not joking. Thank you for the perspective. I'm still unconvinced about ASP.NET + Microsoft SQL Server being superior to the other options available today. PostgreSQL or even sqlite seem like they would be superior for an internal-use a

Is email really like that for other industries? Where I work, the only non-content prose I read or write is the salutation and signature: ``` Hello Bob, We're observing an issue with X, and I was directed to you by Y as a good point of

Can you please point me towards someone using non-linux servers in a production environment? Besides naturally vendor locked developer tools (my company uses them to build Windows desktop software), I'm genuinely confused why someone w

Try to self host something you find interesting on your home network. Don't expose it past your router because you'll probably do it wrong and don't want someone breaking into your system. It typically takes explicit effort t

I learned by trying to get my window manager to have flame effects on my windows... I also started on Linux when I was 12 probably at least two decades after the author started on Unix. I still use man pages and/or -h today though. Mor

Could you explain the difference?

At least with HTML email, I can already link text to an arbitrary link. This whole thing doesn't seem that important to me.

That's the holy grail of backend mistakes, right? Unescaped user input fed into a shell, and worse, that input is their password. How long ago was this?

I would think it would be the Windows equivalent of `grep -a Chrome -R C:/Windows`, right? Then, when it finds the file, just hexdump and/or disassemble it to learn more. Maybe they're scrambling the executable somehow?

Thank you for mentioning GPT partition tables. The whole time I was reading this thread I kept feeling like there was something I was forgetting. I even just nuked one of my linux tinkering laptops this weekend and reinstalled.

And, now I'm scared of establishing a TLS connection with untrusted servers after reading CVE-2021-22901 from that page. Remote code execution from an adversarial *server*. I can understand an adversarial client, but that just expanded

I'm not certain what "ecosystem" means in this context, but you can build docker images using Nix. It's actually pretty cool because the image only contains the runtime dependencies of whatever you throw in the container

I'm pretty young, but one of my retirement plans is my children. I can't be the only one. That is an additional incentive for me to treat them right and ensure they have the means to take care of themselves.

Am I the only one who thinks this just isn't defined well enough to be decided by the judiciary? It should be legislated. My opinion is that ML training should be distinctly different from human learning.
