If an author of a PR just generated code with an LLM, the GitHub PR becomes an incredibly inefficient interface between a repository owner and the LLM. A much better use of the owner time would be to interact with LLM directly instead of re

This is also very detrimental to buyer experience. When you search for a specific new product, prices from different sellers can vary widely. Most often there is no way to tell what is the reason for the difference. Is the cheapest offer si

An extension from a trusted, non anonymous developer which is released as open source is a good signal that the extension can be trusted. But keep in mind that distribution channels for browser extensions, similarly to distribution channels

This applies only to Heroku Fir and Cedar apps (apps that run in Heroku Private Spaces). Heroku Common Runtime apps still use shared wildcard certificate and their domains are not discoverable like this.

I have investigated similar situation on Heroku. Heroku assigns a random subdomain suffix for each new app, so URLs of apps are hard to guess and look like this: test-app-28a8490db018.herokuapp.com. I have noticed that as soon as a new Hero

And then, they will pivot away from humanoid robots. To justifying the valuation they have already pivoted from electric cars company to self-driving taxis company, without delivering self-driving taxis, they are now pivoting to robots, bef

In winter, even on a sunny day, only tiny fraction of your skin is exposed to sun. 10-30 min of sun when you are wearing tshirt and shorts is much different from 10-30 min of sun when you are wearing long sleeves, gloves, and a scarf.

I've been using Linux as my main system for ~25 years, but always kept Windows installed for games. On my latest computer I've build 3 years ago, thanks to Steam with Proton, I no longer have Windows and have been happily playing

Long time ago Sourceforge and then GitHub promoted into the current default the model of open source distribution which is not sustainable and I doubt it is something that the founding fathers of Free Software/Open Source had in mind.

Since 2019 people living in Krakow do not burn any solids for heating, because the city introduced total ban on solid fuels including coal and wood an the ban is quite effective. But people around the city and, frankly, in most of Poland st

I like to think of coding as gathering knowledge about some problem domain. All that a team learns about the problem becomes encoded in the changes to the program source. Program is only manifestation of the humans minds. Now, if programmer

Can't we just store C and let the O2 back in the air like plants do? We could store it right where it came from, in old coal mines.

I think the argument is that the building was able to generate such income stream, in this case the stream comes from the owner. The owner is betting the investment will pay-off at some point, so is taking temporary loses (you could say tha

An interesting things is that GitHub is an expensive service and my guess would be that MS makes good money on it. Our small company paid about 200+ USD monthly for GitHub, much larger cumulative cost than Windows licenses. My believe was t

Do you honestly believe there are people on this board who haven't used LLMs? Ridiculing someone you disagree with is a poor way to make an argument.

Before LLMs programmers had pretty good intuition what GPL license allowed for. It is of course clear that you cannot release a closed source program with GPL code integrated into it. I think it was also quite clear, that you cannot legally

With self driving cars population on roads increasing, a side effect can be that all traffic will be shaped towards staying within the speed limits. With more cars staying within the limits, breaking the limits becomes more difficult.

For containers you will also have own TCP/IP stack similarly to what is shown for VM on the diagram, this is done when a container uses slirp4netns to provide networking. An alternative is to use kernel TCP/IP stack, this is done

As Stuxnet showed us, you don't need to run a nuclear program to be infected by malware developed by state level actors.

I wonder how practical it would be to build a system that would let home appliances cheaply overuse energy when there is a peak in wind or solar production. For example: * Let heat-pumps heat homes to say 23C instead of 20C * Let freezers d

With phone hardware lifetime so short, would it be possible to catch-up with hardware update cycle? I guess each new version of a phone can ship with new versions of binary blob drivers. As mentioned in the announcement, reverse engineering

To be precise I wrote 'in books' which record also revenue, not just profits. Increasing cloud revenue is one of the things that drives big corps share price up, the missing bit is that this revenue comes from big corps themself.

Hard to reproduce bugs often depend on an order of events or timing. Different architecture can trigger different order of execution, but this doesn't mean the bug is not in the application.

Right, there is a reason why print magazines use columns even for long multi-page articles. With long lines, readers tend to get lost when navigating from the end of one line to the start of the next line, and the reading experience suffers

You break even, when you break even, the faster it happens the better for your investment. With the current earnings it will take 53 years for investors to break even.
