He can report the incident to digital crimes unit who can subpoena HN/YC for identity of the poster, and then they can take it from there. There is always something you can do — whether you are going to bother is an altogether a differ

How do you call when someone repeatedly does the same thing expecting a different outcome each time?

If the underlying infrastructure does not provide reproducible builds, I'd suggest you should instead fix that.

It also leaves my favorite way of ignoring files in Git: actually just ignore them yourself and never use shortcuts that break that (like "git commit -a" or "git add .")!

Even if that quote was left in, "espresso drinkS" usually stands for drinks based on espresso, not espresso itself. You know, like cappucino or macchiato.

If a voter has no particular interest or alignment to one political position, but they receive money or other reward to vote for a particular option, is that not a "corrupt voter"?

To me it still sounds like a build artifact, and not source code: yes, you want to keep it and track changes to it, but freeze tools should allow one to easily get a reproducible build of package-lock.json too (eg. by passing a timestamp, i

Alternatively, you can also just try not to have security issues, and resolve them with urgency when they do pop up.

Many countries in the world have local systems for quick, direct bank transfers encoded with QR codes to be used by local payment systems or local banking apps.

In this case, the original superblock seems already destroyed, and it sounds it gets the fs autodetection confused, so the suggestion is to use one of backup superblocks but clean up the messed data first.

They could have 2x customers spend 50x as much money too. I think it's more about contrasting it with world economy as a whole for a reality check.

I believe a more likely outcome is that neither one of them outright "wins", and they get joined by other players like xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mystral, Llama even... That should make it hard to bank in on future growth with any singl

I'd like to see legislation to require publisher to clearly state if game works offline, and if not, what is the committed, guaranteed operational life ("at least to June 2030" prominently displayed, for instance).

Some would more amicably call it democracy, but to each their own.

Wipefs simply cleans up your filesystem signatures, not your data.

Shouldn't it be simple: mandate video game producers prominently put an end-of-life commitment on every game sold (guaranteed to work until June 2030), and an $80 game will make a customer pause. Obviously, bankruptcy could still short

The integral sign is the only one which gets mirrored when you switch to RTL — is that how it should behave as it is basically an elongated S (from summation over)? Or is that a bug in MathML implementation in my browser?

I also like to say that the code is the first formal/precise definition of what the product is.

I can see how it can modify GPU driver behavior, but I cannot see how it would get you better performance with everything else the same? What it should do is ensure some things not relevant to Half-Life 2 were not done, thus getting better

Ideally by adopting a different architecture at the same time so they fix everything that is troublesome in their existing product!

I believe both are valid: sometimes upstreams are not set up for donations, and sometimes your org will make it easier to submit a patch or to financially sponsor a maintainer.

We are talking about a case when maintainer is unavailable to do the work: what would happen if this was a proprietary dependency and the maintainer is gone (eg. bankrupt, moved on, incapacitated...)? There is nothing unusual about this, bu

How do you define unnecessary work if this is... necessary for you? You are already benefiting from getting the tool/library/system for free, so you can still compare writing the thing you need (necessary?) from scratch or adaptin

You'd be surprised to learn this about free and open source software, but if a maintainer is unavailable, you have both full rights and full source code to... wait for it... fix it yourself (or pay someone to)! There is something unhea

It's funny someone takes an Apple statement at face value instead of reading it for exactly what it is: they asked to be excluded from the law that was introduced to prevent exactly what Apple is trying to do. After being denied an exc

EU has exposed that web site operators care little for a good user experience and will take user tracking (external, non-required cookies) over it — and as you say, 83% of customers also do not care. It is perfectly possible to construct we

Apple is clearly virtue-signalling. They will give access to other assistants through Trust Zone (or whatever it's called), but their assistant gets direct access to system services? If Trust Zone is usable for other assistants, it is

FWIW, only the RSS feed is offered with a "Link" of alternate type in the headers: a missed opportunity, if you ask me :)

For a long time, urllib had everything deprecated except for the parsing code which remained relevant as the upstream RFCs have not changed IIRC. Urllib2 is now also gone and mostly replaced with urllib.request. It should cover 99% of the u
