> The researchers notified Microsoft of the security lapse on February 6, and Microsoft secured the spilling files on March 5. That's pretty abysmal response time for what seems like it should be a simple fix for a serious problem.

Whether it's autotools or not is not very relevant to point 1a. I'm also confused why point 1 leads to 1a, and not to the opposite of 1a. Source distribution tarballs should not contain code different from what's in the sou

Erlang/Elixir nodes can actually be rather trivially clustered, you can spawn processes on other nodes and transparently pass messages to processes on other nodes, including things like closures. It does not magically schedule worklo

I feel that, build times can be a pain. I'm calling out to pandoc to build a static site and I've had to parallelize it to get build times down, and that's with far fewer pages.

There is no technical reason, it's all about incentives. What Kagi and Marginalia do is fundamentally incompatible with Google's business model. The reason Google shows you search results is to serve you ads, but the presence and

That's not true. It was first released under the Qt Free Edition License, which was nonfree. Harmony was started in that time. In 1999 version 2 was released under the Q Public License, which was a free software license but not GPL-com

In the same way that Google stopped federating by no longer accepting connections from others, as long as most people keep their stuff at Bluesky they can also just close themselves off from others again. I don't necessarily think it i

That's what I had in mind as the consequences in the last paragraph. I'm not sure what the process for that reclassification would look like. I think it does need some level of actual confirmation that the copyright owner is respo

I think it makes more sense to disqualify abusers from the entire takedown system. The DMCA takedown process takes a guilty-until-proven-otherwise approach, and companies like Markscan from the article can clearly not be trusted with that p

I don't think that's a very strong argument since it applies to a lot of laws that are very much considered acceptable. From trespassing to the entire field of intellectual property.

If you add a dependency without understanding the license that dependency is released under, you should stop doing that. That counts for every license, and particularly if there is no license.

Note that you can also search for something like "translate some sentence to french" in Kagi and get a translation widget, which I think is powered by DeepL. It doesn't show alternatives, but it's pretty nice.

To make this work you need to set the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable to the same value it has in the environment Firefox is running in. For example: sudo -u desktopuser XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 firefox --new

That does not work on macOS. "-i''" is the same as just a bare "-i", and it will then interpret the next argument as the backup suffix.

That is indeed an incredibly frustrating difference, because there is no version of it that works on both GNU and macOS. In practice I often end up using perl to do an in-place search-replace instead.
