What other markdown viewers or editors support URL schemes that just execute code? And not in a browser sandbox but in the same security context notepad itself is running in.

I used to enjoy it much more before it became just another podcast extoiling the virtues of AI-assisted coding. I have too many of those already.

How would they? This is AI, it has to move faster than you can even ask security questions, let alone answer them.

Option 4 as well, that's how we do it at work and it's been great. However, it can't really be "someone on the team knows Nix", anyone working on Ops will need Nix skills in order to be effective.

No need to overthink it. In any semi-modern language you can (de)serialize anything to and from JSON, so it's really not that hard. The only thing you need to do is have a representation for the plan in your program. Which I will argue

If you're interacting with stateful systems (which you usually are with this kind of command), --dry-run can still have a race condition. The tool tells you what it would do in the current situation, you take a look and confirm that th

> What do other languages' standard libraries do to walk around clone3 then? They don't offer generic clone3 wrappers either AFAIK. All the code I've seen that uses it - and a lot of it is not in standard libraries but in

Sure, you need a tiny bit of asm to do the actual syscall. That's not what I'm talking about. Most syscalls are easy to wrap, clone is slightly harder but doable (as evidenced by glibc). clone3 is for all intents and purposes impo

I actually love this about Linux. The syscall API is much better than libc (both the one defined by POSIX and libc as it actually exists on different Unixen). No errno (which requires weird and inefficient TLS bullshit), no hooks like atfor

I don't think this is inflicting net suffering, really. The money doesn't just disappear, the seller gets it. Auctions are zero-sum.

It's sad how much of this thread of supposed hackers comes from people who are simply parroting this dogma because it has been drilled into them. People were even preaching this before IPv6 privacy extensions came into use, either down

But the part about the undersea cable is simply wrong! Major undersea cables have been disrupted several times and never has a "continent gone dark". I think this betrays a severe misunderstanding of what the internet is. It is th

Car enthusiasts caring about the driving experience doesn't just mean drivability. Engine sound is a huge part of it. All the classic Porsche 911 have flat-6 engines which make a distinctive sound that is totally part of the brand. FTR

I don't know how everyone arrives at that conclusion when the cost of the subscription services is also going up (as evidenced by the very article we're talking about). People who are renting are feeling this immediately, whereas

That seems oddly rigid though. I need to known in advance which networks will definitely never need subnetting so I can assign them a /64. Why have so, so many address bits and then give us so few for subnetting? People shame ISPs endl

Yes, kind of. In the same sense that Vec<T> in Rust with reused indexes allows it. Notice that this kind of use-after-free is a ton more benign though. This milder version upholds type-safety and what happens can be reasoned about in

I'll let you decide whether it counts as "mainstream", but the principal implementation of Nix has a very old school setup using bison and flex: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src

Avoiding cyclic dependencies is good, sure. And they do name specific problems that can happen in counterexample #1. However, the reasoning as to why it can't be a general DAG and has to be restricted to a polytree is really tenuous. T
