I'm not trying to explain why Unix sockets are great and TCP isn't... I'm trying to solve a real-world problem along a similar vein myself. FWIW, I agree that you should use Unix sockets for local-machine access - you can&#x2

This is all well and good if you want to restrict access to root users, but I thought we were trying to restrict access "to a specific process" (i.e. a specific client application.)

Sorry to be pedantic, but this doesn't really allow you to lock down the socket to "a specific process" does it? You're talking about restricting it to root, or another particular user/group. I'm interested in

Good call out. One of the advantages of ProxyCommand was that it is supported by Chrome's Secure Shell extension, meaning you could use it on Chromebooks: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/secure-shell/

I don't see how it's unfair at all. This is novel technology with rough edges. Sharing novel techniques for working around those rough edges is normal. Eventually we can expect them to be built-in to the tools themselves (see MCP

Hey, thanks for that! I didn't come across that back then. Looks intriguing.

Usually color correction happens in post-production, where optics are developed pre-production. Definitely, poorly designed lenses will have color casting and fringing issues, but color correction is largely about balancing colors across va

Years ago, I tried building something like this using ProxyCommand to try to fetch the SSH certificate "just-in-time" without having to run a command first, but unfortunately the ordering of OpenSSH was such that ProxyCommand ran

Yeah, for the Mac Studio, which is likely to stay in one place, this probably works well. In actuality, I use a Macbook Pro, which has the same pricing issue. In my experience, the fastest option for this is NFS without encryption, which is

Keep in mind you can't just upgrade a Mac Studio to 16 TB for $4,800. You can go to 8 TB for $2,400, but to move up to 16 TB you also need to upgrade to the Ultra chip for an additional $1,000, which also necessitates moving up to

I think the bigger issue might be the microphone placement. Humans tend to prefer microphones that are closer to microphones which are further away (this is one reason headsets w/ a boom arm usually sound better than a built-in microph

ISO 8601 is a great standard when you need interoperability (e.g. between machines/servers, or between humans in different locales) or the ability to sort by timestamp. For personal note taking, or notes to be shared locally, it makes

Your first two sentences mostly sounds like a semantic argument to me. While I agree not all dogs within a breed are high risk (especially after quality training and while under the care of an experienced handler), I would say that if the b

I am not sure I understand you. It's true, I generally prefer not to preorder as it means I'm essentially offering an interest-free loan to a company. Sometimes I'll do it anyway for one of two reasons: to lock in a price tha

I'm not taking it up with a small business... I'm choosing how to spend my money...? Are you implying I'm obligated to by a watch?! Lol Why do you think I haven't been calling my representatives to complain about tariffs

Yeah, it is transparent... that they may raise the price and undisclosed amount. There's nothing wrong with it but the terms mean I'm not interested in preordering. I'll wait until the final price is available. Why did this s

I agree, to an extent. I mentioned it in another comment but IMO there's a big difference between someone who types a low-effort prompt like "silly image of a cat" and someone who spends hours or days iterating on a prompt. O

Honestly, it sounds like we are in agreement except that I don't find those descriptions to be unfair, and I'm not sure why you would, after stating them yourself. They are common behavioral traits of the breed. Some breeds carry

Right. It's not doing "all the work" as the parent said. (Not to mention the editing process that comes afterwards!) Indeed, some photographers distinguish the two as "taking" a photograph versus "making"

In fact, you can take such photos with a cheap camera and cheap lenses if you are skilled. No, equipment does not make a photograph. (source: I own expensive cameras. Taking good photographs is still hard.) Time and place matter. Your subje

Creative input is more than just "an idea" though. It's things like design elements: composition, color, light, line and shape. It's also things like symbolism and metaphor, meaning and intent. It's both a thought p

I also wonder this. I can write instructions to draw an image on the screen using OpenGL - or I can write an LLM and prompt it to draw an image. Why should I get authorship rights in one case but not the other?

Try taking photographs like the ones you see in Nat Geo, or museum exhibits, and you'll quickly realize the camera is most definitely NOT doing all the work.

The difference between sales tax and a tariff is that the consumer pays the sales tax while the importer pays the tariff. In other words, I'm not presented with a "price + taxes + tariff." I'm presented with a "pric
