Not all jurisdictions are the US, and not all jurisdictions allow fair use, but instead have specific fair dealing laws. Not all jurisdictions have fair dealing laws, meaning that every use has to be cleared. There are simple algorithms t

I have just started adding DCO to _all_ of the open source code that I maintain and will be adding text like this on `CONTRIBUTING.md`: --- LLM-Generated Contribution Policy Color is a library full of complex math and subtle decisions (some

It's not a very good one, but it is ubiquitous (it's also better if you remember to include the right syntax marker that enables heredocs): # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1 I suspect that the GP was really asking &qu

He won 49% of the votes cast. He did not get a majority, but a plurality. The turnout was ~64%, so he got ~30% of the possible votes. His main opponent got about ~28% of the possible votes. He doesn't have the mandate he thinks he does

It's been a while since I knowingly tried a Flutter app. Most of the ones that I have used even temporarily are Google garbage, and they are so bad that I will not give any Flutter app another try. I also fundamentally think that the t

You’re welcome to think that, but it's not a dumb take — it is an aesthetic and technical take (you know, de gustibus non est disputandum ). My attention is valuable (at least to me and those around me), and I choose not to waste th

Oh, I’m not confused; there is no "native" for Flutter. I just don't think that Android has a meaningful platform aesthetic‡ and most people who use Android tend to expect nothing to necessarily make sense (these are the same

Looks neat, but I won't use it or recommend it to anyone because it's built with Flutter. I understand your reasons for choosing it, but that does not change that Flutter apps feel completely _wrong_ on any platform except Android

This is an excuse, as an "emergency" is (effectively) the only way that such tariffs can be applied without input from Congress at all. It's also likely a lie, given the number of lies told by Trump and his supporters. The tw

I don't know where you've seen that, because not even the professional liars at the DEA claim that.

I will simply point you to the iTerm2 AI kerfuffle ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40458135 ) as proof that some in open source _are_ in a mad rush to bolt on completely unnecessary "features". It was a bad c

I’ve just started a new job (where I will be pitching mise to replace asdf and maybe a few other things because of your recent push on supply chain security), so it’ll be a bit of time before I can do this. I’ve thought about how to automat

by halostatue 2y ago
mise is asdf written with security and performance in mind (I believe it started with performance, but has become much more obsessed – in a very good way — about security).

You just mentioned the only thing that bugs me with mise: the frequent (sometimes 3x per day) releases. I say this only because I’m one of the maintainers of the MacPorts port for mise, and while I’ve automated things, I have had more than

The BEAM VM (Erlang, Elixir) does this with what’s called "Core Erlang", used as lower-level targets before compiling to the BEAM primitives. https://blog.stenmans.org/theBeamBook/#_compiler_pass_core_e...

Thank you. I think that I’ll need to read this again with that particular comment in mind, because that makes sense. The limitations of Elixir syntax means it would need to be something more like: ucs do expensive() =>

They should. This nesting is why `with` exists , but even if `cond` and `case` could test for exhaustiveness (they can't currently, and I don't think that `cond` ever could), `with` would not be able to test for exhaustiveness, s

Note that Erlang processes are essentially green threads within OS thread, but the Erlang process manager is preemptive (unlike most green thread managers). There is room for improvement in both directions.

I don't think that this is `with` (which is really a series of nested `case` statements with exactly two paths per case). case is_email_address?(email) do true -> case String.length(code) == 6 do true -

I turned off most GitHub emails and mostly use the Notification Centre for discovering things I need to know about. It's not entirely proof against phishing this way, but it doesn't get to use email to appear more legitimate.

Depends on what you’re doing. For best cookies, you want to cream the butter with the sugar, then add the eggs, and finally add the flour. If you’re interested and can find one, it’s worth taking a vegan baking class. You learn a lot ab
