Call it what you want, but it's just disrespectful and unnecessary. I'm sure we've all fucked up somewhere and didn't attribute something correctly, but I feel like once it's been brought to your attention, it'

Not trying to be condescending but simply put the sandbox-exec functionality is a toy compared to what is offered in many other UNIX-likes. It's not that it's useless (both Nix and Bazel use macOS's native sandboxing to great

I think it's just that Windows Containers are a lot unlike Linux Docker containers; they're not useless, but they're very different. I don't think Darwin containers have to be so different from Linux containers, not th

Firstly, I believe the fears are founded; these fears are a good starting point, since learning and adopting a programming language is a big investment, and you should be careful when making big investments. To say they're unfounded su

This... is actually pretty great to have. Very cool. That said... It really just makes me bummed about the lack of good support for container and sandboxing technology on macOS. I know, totally different thing. But still, we'll probabl

Maybe those two issues are connected, though. For some jobs, it seems like people cheating job applications and interviews with LLMs are making it hard for companies to actually fill jobs even when there are tons of applicants. In other cas

This definitely seems to suggest that tightening down on (legal) immigration is a very bad idea. I'm really not understanding U.S. policy these days.

The way I read it, the article identifies two problems: the first being the lack of a strong manufacturing culture, and I think that was an issue that the U.S. had been developing by the 80s for sure. The other problem is simply that neithe

In addition to the sibling comment, which is exactly right (you should be using a nullable column here, if you're using SQL, for multiple reasons) I reckon this a design issue in the programming language that is largely unrelated to ho

32-bit UNIX timestamps are often signed so you can actually go before that, but most UNIX timestamps are 64-bit now, which can represent quite a larger range. And SQL datetime types might have a totally different range. Not that it really

There's more to development than just code. I'm sure the Godot developers value the contribution and will try to make the most of it, but they got zero input into how to implement it and this PR contains a lot of issues (e.g. it d

Yes of course, but obviously when it comes to household dishwashers those parts of the grid are not terribly important and I think we already exceeded the pedantry budget enough. > "split-phase 240V" happens at the transformer

Unfortunately the best solution there was for this problem was probably HPKP, which fell out of favor years ago. Would be nice to have some kind of solution for this some day; I think it would compliment CT very well.

I know this is common knowledge now, but just for people who might not realize it: a typical North American NEMA 5-15R receptacle will indeed deliver 120V 15A electricity, but the electrical grid is split-phase 240V. Right across from my di

But again, you then get (much) worse UX than plaintext HTTP, it won't even remember the certificate. The thing that makes TOFU work is that you at least only have to verify the certificate once. If you use a self-signed certificate, yo

Self-signed certificates have a terrible UX and worse security; browsers won't remember the trusted certificate so you'd have to verify it each time if you wanted to verify it. In practice, this means that it's way easier to
