It's a good sign that unlike fyne, this library passed the very first test I threw at it: rendering some CJK text. Fyne can't do that unless you give it one custom font to render everything in — well, good luck finding one satis

Just an ad for their vulnerability tracking product with a clickbait title. Doesn’t even list a single “vulnerability” with any sort of impact that might have been missed. Flagged.

When I use Copilot I make sure code it writes matches my own style. If it doesn’t I modify the output to what I would have written. I never accept more than a few lines at a time unless it’s something completely boilerplaty. The result is m

This is like outlawing sneezing at home. Unless you’re sneezing so loudly that your neighbor decides to call the police (equivalent would be reproducing large blocks of existing code verbatim, but Copilot already has warnings for that kind

Agreed as a former scientist (theoretical high energy physics). I’ve yet to meet one person in related fields who’s enthusiastic about giving paper mills a 2000% productivity boost while giving honest people a 20% boost at best, and by the

I doubt the libc default in established systems can change now, but newer languages and libraries can learn the lesson and do the right thing. For instance, Go sets TCP_NODELAY by default: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

As a sibling has already pointed out, this blog post has nothing to do with “Google themselves”. In addition, “nothing really for end users” is obviously bullshit and inconsistent with what the post says itself, e.g. > This means your ex

Forbes.com is basically a blogging platform with a small number of journalists and an army of random contributors, quite a few of whom are scam artists. All those random blogs are not terribly different from medium.com in essence, but Forbe

I don’t get “final rate is usually lower”. Why is it lower, and by how much? And since it’s “usually”, what about the unusual case? Equal to the sticker price, or higher? But since you use “<” neither should happen? I would expect an exa

No. With BitTorrent, I can tell a client to go fetch this torrent or hash (magnet link) and it can do that without any specific hardcoded server. Centralized trackers help but there’s always the DHT. With git you need to give the client an

Thanks, it seems dokku does allow bringing in outside nginx vhosts, something I must have overlooked the last time I checked. I'll have to take a deeper look.

Fixing a non-critical bug that affects <0.001% of bookings in airlines’ ancient systems, which are likely stringly typed in specific formats in many places? Good luck. They can’t even show my family members’ names right.
