While working for one of the previous companies, I hit a regrettable counterexample for the point in the article. Developers built a web UI for creating containers for the labs, taking the advice from this (then future) article too literall

Wait for the next step, when the lawyers collectively decide that the crook that designed the payload is innocent, and you, the one who copy-pasted it into the LLM for analysis, are the real villain.

There is a useful middle ground here. When picking the middle element, verify that it is indeed within the established bounds. This way, you'll still catch the sort order violations that matter without making the whole search linear.

Not really. I know that my sleep is worth more than the difference between HDD and SSD prices, and I know the difference between the failure rates and the headache caused by the RMA process, so I buy SSDs. In essence, what we together are s

Feedback (if someone reads it): offer an option to translate everything to English. For example, news from/about Russia are in Russian, and thus I can't meaningfully share them to non-Russians. That's despite the appropriate

The end result is still positive. Before the mainline submission, Bcachefs could not be DKMSed, as it relied on changes in other subsystems, as opposed to just additions, so you had to compile your own kernel. Now, it is available as someth

They assign it directly to the interface, and letting others connect to stuff behind CGNAT is indeed my use case. Two other VPNs working for this purpose are OVPN (+1 for them using WireGuard, but their Singapore node is slow) and SwissVPN

They are one of the few VPN providers that give out public IPv4 addresses, and you can even get a static one. So, if you are using them for having a public IP, not for privacy, please continue doing so.
