To be fair, once Xint gave the heads up and the kernel team committed a patch, what was Xint supposed to do? Keep asking the kernel security team to backport patches for the LTS kernels? As soon as a patch is committed, the clock starts tic

Yes and that's why the current system where security researchers are expected to reach out to the distro mailing list is flawed and instead there should be a defined pipeline for the kernel security team to give a heads up.

So much to list: - They ditched their previous android app for a new one that doesn't get the grandfathered accessibility access so autofill is mostly useless... - On mac, safari integration is consistently flaky. It regularly keeps ge

Read while walking, I live in a walkable city. The pedestrian way is safe. I stop reading when I arrive at any intersection then start again once I cross. Even as a kid, I'd rush to open any magazine I bought before I got back home an

That does seem to depend on countries and universities. I do have to say I was appalled by some of the tests I had as an exchange student in the US (will not name the Uni in question but ranked around 60 in us rank). I remember a computer g

Yeah, I hated the keyboard but really did like the touchbar. Apple really dropped the ball there though. We shouldn't have needed Better Touch Tool to make it useful.

So TikTok is for b2c. What's the equivalent for b2b product targeting developers or opensource software? Stars on github? Or are there a lot of adtroturfing hn accounts to influence the narrative? It reminds me of pg's article on

So far my flow with llm is spec, get the llm to develop it, it kinda works as a proof of concept. Then I look at the code, the structure and architecture makes me want to vomit. So I initiate a refactoring round where I tell it exactly wha

Thinking before you start implementing the entire project is doomed to fail. Thinking before you implement each features/user story is usually rather important. A waterfall model with short feedback loops iterating on small tasks is no

My problem with turkish style hammam is that unless it's extremely well maintained it often smells of mold. When I went to some nice hammams in turkey, I didn't have that problem but outside of turkey, it's often unbearable.

I've never read as much on my kindle as when my son was born. I didn't want to use my phone so any micro break was spent reading. Much harder to do now that my son is 4 years old, I'm less sleep deprived but there's less
