That's a very arrogant attitude. I'll give you one example: I sometimes can't open OpenAI API documentation due to some stupid Cloudflare captcha checks. No, on Firefox, however many times I click that checkbox, I can't

It is absolutely not common. It is reasonable to expect contributors to have a certain amount of programming experience, but I rarely see any open source projects ask for requirements in a very specific area like a job posting. Many open so

They can do all of that, of course. My point is that their condescending attitude is going to lose potential contributors like me, when most open source projects embrace a much more welcoming environment. Maybe they are doing fine, I don&#x

I find parent's comment very truthful and (mostly) reflects the reality, based on my personal experience. Saying that as someone who created many pull requests and opened/participated in many github issues for open source projects

Not 100% agree but would almost say the same thing. As someone who made small contributions to several projects and left comments under many GitHub issues, things that I see: * Heavy users are more likely to report bugs and end up contribut

I checked the time to make sure today is in the year of 2024. I swear this has been widely known at least since the Win 98 era.

In theory, yes, but in practice, people who know how to compile gdb is a small subset of people who need to debug c code. Not to mention that it actually takes extra time to do so, when people are used to debug Python/JavaScript/G

No, part of the malicious code is in test data file, and the modified m4 file is not in the git repo. The package signed and published by Jia Tan is not reproducible from the source and intentionally done that way. You might want to revisit

Not going to happen in the US for the next few years, at least. Jeff Bezos killed the endorsement because he wanted Trump to win. Trump will return the favor.

One thing I find people don't talk enough about is how bad AWS documentation is, across the services. They contain outdated information about services, inconsistencies for the same feature, and lack explanation and meaningful examples

Such cases would be pursued by DOJ or FCC or some other federal agency that the President has 100% control over. If the president asks to drop the case, it will be dropped.

Wild take that might actually be true: by attacking the Biden administration, the company wants to appeal to Trump and maybe even get Trump's attention (and favor), hoping that the Trump administration will loosen the regulations on be

The CEO or the company can only be in trouble if they are found guilty in court. That's not going to happen in the next two months, and Trump probably couldn't care less about this.

Well, I wouldn't consider 7700 low-power in any sense, maybe 7640U or 7840U on a mini PC. You are running Linux the entire time?

A few x86 CPUs used are 4-7 generations old. Not sure what to make of that.

Yeah. I scratch my head when there is a ton of new models and competition happening in the mini PC market that provides good value for end users, but nobody notices. When Apple releases a new mini PC, suddenly it's like a breakthrough

Eh, how does using a VPN make it easier to MITM attack yourself and modify the response of that GET request?

Good points. I was more focused on the technical side. I want to add a bit more to "easier deployment" -- traditional model is that you push updates at some interval (regular interval like semi annually/annually or non regula

Dumb question: how is this better than connecting the digital piano to a DAW on a computer? Is that the "set and forget" aspect of this device?

What about using a relay as a temporary solution to remotely turn it off instead of physically yanking the cable? Maybe that's good enough for them, people never touch this problem again, and we wouldn't have this story (which of
