I hate that this is true. I think ML itself could be applied to the problem to help you catch mistakes in realtime, like language servers in software eng. I have experience building boards in Altium and found it rather enjoyable; my own kno

Could instead be like the US where citizens aren't even allowed to read parts of the spying laws that apply to them. The endgame being to surreptitiously bug every device and application with local scanning; changes in ToS that allow t

I still love using DNSBL as part of a score-based approach. Add Bayesian filtering, spf/dkim scoring, a greylist, and postfix options like RDNS checks. I see a few spam a week, have never seen a false positive. I think greylisting made

Agreed. Having been part of the internet since its genesis, every day I mourn the loss of the critical mass of the weird and curious that pervaded it. I absolutely abhor the exploiters that came from behind and effected a nerd diaspora to s

I had a "friend" like you once. We got along well, he would excitedly dive deep with me in tech because he wanted to learn programming, and I would excitedly dive deep with him into creating coffee and beer because I find the stri

If you think money will motivate the dev, why not lead with that in your issue? I don't think offering to pay money is against TOS. However, there is a large number of FOSS devs that don't give two shits about your money. Oh hey!

Stuff like this should be done however the author wants. Your view of FOSS is perverted.

Your post is complete hype, all about people saying things instead of showing things that've actually been done. For me, 2024 was the LLM exposed as basically pure hype year. There is no expert of any field I follow online where they&#

How does AGPLv3 impact a lab's ability to do research on an implementation?

Crap, I always get that wrong. Thanks for the reminder! ETA: like I told my kids, if we don't police each other, the LLMs will never learn. ;)

Deregulation is not returning power to the people, it's bestowing carte blanche privatization of profits to corpos, in the wake of near complete regulatory capture, while they dump the negative externalities on the public.

It's a bad pattern for the employee, but a good pattern for employers and the healthcare industrial complex. The possibility that you could be bankrupt if you let your insurance lapse is an enormous concern for employees that may want

Couldn't agree more. In the SMEs that I've been involved with, this has had a huge chilling effect on both hiring and innovation. I think that the change is a primary contributing factor to the layoffs and offshoring that have sei

Here here. The only thing SOC2 has done in my opinion is to create a multibillion dollar business that mainly just drains resources from companies that may not have them, with no guarantees you're actually secure. This usually devolves

My experience with it was a PM creating a ticket for our ops group with the title "install posthog" targeting our onprem k8s infra. He had included a link to the helm chart, but that's about it. When I cracked open the chart

This is a lot like how couchdb handles MVCC. There is a `_rev` field that represents some specific mutation of a document, old revisions stay available until compaction, and you will receive an error if you attempt to write to a document wi

Reminds me of early in my career as I was struggling with turning errors in my code into useful messages to the user. I thought exceptions were so cool and that I could just pop them up the stack and voila `print(err.msg)`. It took me awhil

I kind of agree with your assessment, it would even speak to the popularity of document DBs coming up around the same time. However, I would argue that the decline in deep RDBMS integrations is exactly because of their excessive complexity.

Ever since the war of stored procedures, I've been very reticent to put any more logic than absolutely necessary into the database. The simple truth of the matter is that the DB server codebases are awful, complicated, places to develo

Agreed it's a good thing. Writing software today is still a slog that turns into a spaghetti bowl without focused intent by highly skilled devs. I think most devs realize this and really want there to be something better, and the only

I think it's elegant. I loved MVVM in the postback world, and with SPAs, I see view-specific endpoints as the view-model continuing to reside on the server while the view was split off to the client-side.

If ICMP is allowed into your network, your machine will most likely receive a Destination Unreachable response from the host that can't forward the packet further. Your application won't see the ICMP message unless you configure t

Lex Fridman recently interviewed Edward Gibson, a linguist, and they talked a lot about how the brain processes language, including how someone reading code lights up a completely different part of the brain than language. #426 https:&#x2F

This is a killer feature IMO. Bind the ctrl-hjkl in vim/neovim for navigation and go between vim panes and tmux panes transparently, beautiful.

Is it not also powered via common-mode voltage? Love how coax engineers are always stacking frequencies, including 0Hz.

Learn Ops. All operations in decent orgs these days _is_ software engineering, and a large swath of those who do it lack deep infra experience and rely a lot on trial and error in more complicated configurations.

Been thinking of going back to college (maths) myself in my post-40s age, but I'm struggling a bit to convince myself that it's going to be the best way to meet my learning goals. The degree itself, at this point in my career, isn
