Yesterday I updated our dependency on the sqlx crate and put up a PR, and it failed in the CI build in a way I couldn’t reproduce locally. I asked codex to take a look, and it: - Grabbed the CI logs on its own to figure out what the CI erro

Is “informed consent” that little checkbox that is checked by default? Or is it the one with the wording that says something about “discounts and offers”? Or is it the one that’s enabled because it’s a “new category” that didn’t exist when

Yeah. Also, I basically stopped visiting my building’s first floor because all the amenities I need are on my level now. I’m not sure I agree with the whole “buildings need foundations” stuff anymore.

You know how a clear sign of a “bad neighborhood” is when you see a large percentage of payday loan buildings, liquor stores, gun stores, etc? I see the percentage of advertising devoted to gambling to be a similar bellwether to the decline

I always tell people I use a “git reset” based workflow. I rarely “checkout” branches, I just stay on main, reset hard when switching topics, reset soft when squashing, and I only name my branches on the remote end via “git push origin HEAD

If you’re sitting under a tree in the rain and it gets soaked through and you start getting wet, finding another tree won’t help you. The whole industry is adjusting to the reality that the expected output of an engineer is much higher than

A look at Amazon’s search results says it very much won’t continue to provide useful advice, no. Maybe this’ll be the first tech product category that avoids enshittification, but I’m not holding my breath.

You don’t even need that to understand the tension between QM and GR: What is the gravitational field of a particle in a superposition of two different locations? What about when the superposition collapses? Does the gravity field instantly

Enjoy it while it lasts. The pressure to turn on the money faucet is very real, and as soon as they do, the AI shopping experiences are going to just mean “run an auction and steer the user to the highest bidder”. Like how Amazon, google, e

I often think about how I’d do it if I ran my own company. I would really like to see what it would be like doing all code reviews over email. The repo would just be a simple vps-style server with git-only ssh access, there’d be a particu

One should always imagine a 1000:1 ratio of “person who reads a warning message” to “person who can do anything about it”. You drop a little stderr print in your library saying “foo is deprecated, please use bar”, but then that library is i

Would you enjoy the experience of telling your LLM “make a HN-style comment thread on $subject with 200 comments, no trolls please”, and then actually spend time reading them? No? I’m imagining not at least. Because there would be no point

This is happening with coworkers now. It’s honestly insulting. They put up a PR with all the obvious tells, the markdown table of files that changed, the description that basically parrots back things the human obviously wanted them to stre

Yeah, cookie banners, newsletter signups, “please disable your adblocker”, etc are the ultimate “hmm maybe I’ll just do something else” reality check for me. Not only do I close the page but I typically lose interest in whatever I may have

See here you go again. I'm not doubling down on anything. My claim goes like this. Tell me where you disagree. 1. In a typical IPv6 setup you have more than one address. You even had to exclude android from the discussion just to b

I’m not convinced the changing demographics are going to change much in the way of electoral outcomes. It could just as easily be that conservatism is just a function of age, and GenX-ers will be voting more or less the same as the boomers

Y’know I see you in every thread about IPv6 and you have this terrible habit of completely ignoring the actual point someone is trying to make and bogging straight down into the minutiae of some technical detail instead. I will stipulate th

I'm not necessarily talking about fingerprinting or tracking here, it can be something a lot more mundane. Like if I have a homelab setup and I want to see what hosts connected to something, and I look at the logs and see privacy addre

IME nothing pays attention to when you set a flag to not do autonomous addressing. macOS and iOS don't respect it AFAICT, I don't recall what Linux does by default, but I don't remember having any success. But it's rathe

The changes to Ethernet lookup mandate that you have a link-local address in addition to your “real” address, and this starts the ball rolling on the idea that machines have multiple IP addresses in general. Which makes privacy addresses co

I wonder if the cell carriers are seeing this as the existential threat it is, or if they’re just continuing with the whole “bury our heads in the sand” strategy. If having a phone number has no benefit and only brings spam, and WiFi is ubi

Hmm, the more I think about I think you’re right, they likely still do use kerberized nfs, but I think the auth layer they use is… different. Without giving too much away, the internal SSO software ends up either wrapping or providing Kerbe
