I dunno, does it? I don't imagine Linus and friends would celebrate this any other way than saying "ah, neat"

Apologies I didn't mean to imply there was some nefarious purpose behind this!

Just to summarise what's going on here, because it took me a little bit of clicking to get the gist of it: > The goal of the LOLBAS project is to document every binary, script, and library that can be used for Living Off The Land te

I think they mean that more recent (or “modern”) OpenGL versions beyond 4.1 aren’t supported on macOS, and semi-seriously suggested Zink/MoltenVK as a way to use (say) OpenGL 4.6 on that platform

I've seen quite a few HTML templating engines that look just like this (in C#, TS and Python)

I'm not exactly bullish on Twitter, nor a fan of Musk, but I don't think it'll happen quite that way. I suspect Twitter will lose in the long run but it won't be this sudden or as soon.

This is an interesting find and explains why “ravenstine” has sort of disappeared from this thread, having asserted that this use of steroids is simply down to men wanting to impress women (then doubling down in it, and sprinkling in some a

You might want to check how that word was spelled in the comment you're replying to :)

Wait now it's "other people" - before you were pretty certain the problem was women

by smcl 3y ago
I'll state it more clearly here because you seem resistant to really think about what I have said - there are men and women of all sexual orientations using steroids. Are you certain that a disproportionate number of straight men, ou

by smcl 3y ago
I'm not sure you can put this on women - since not only can men can be into men, but women can take steroids (and of course be into both men and women). Plus it's not necessarily the case that people use these steroids to become m

I find Rust a bit hard to follow (having not studied it in any great detail) but a good deal of that boilerplate either avoids common problems in code or allows you to explicitly say "yes I know I'm doing something dangerous"
523.
by smcl 3y ago
Yeah it's mind-blowing until it lies to you and, for example, insists that one pound of feathers and two pounds of steel weigh the same. Then it becomes a bit more clear what the limitations are. Trying to feel out the limits and break

It sounds like the login problem and the free speech policy (which I think we won't agree on but that's by the by) are the main issues. But it's interesting we have completely alternate impressions how it was before/afte

What I mean is that at a certain point they can't keep up the "if only X could have had a gun" line, because at that point they will have had a gun and the conclusion that guns aren't helping will be unavoidable.

Why do you say Twitter is moving in a positive direction? My experience is that I dislike their app and they killed the one I liked (Tweetbot), it's frequently down (I still get the "Something went wrong" error), and any ki

5 minutes is maybe an exaggeration. I know that when Tweetbot reported I had >500 in my feed I had enough nonsense to read for a couple of 20 minute tram rides.

If your hope is that every cop and/or gun owner magically transforms into this Elisjsha person, then I think you're going to be disappointed.

The same way these AI code completion tools respected GPL-licensed code?

I don’t think you want to do a US vs UK comparison on violent crime. Hell the American police alone committed more homicides than there were in the UK last year.

If school shootings continue and there are no options, it's not "the left" you'll have to worry about. It's everyone . You needn't wish me good luck. I live in a country where guns are already legal, available

I feel like many people would hear his words and not really process them. To you or I Craighead is saying something quite sensible - "you need to be ready and prepared to actually do this, and you probably aren't and won't be

Yeah the UK had a shooting in Dunblane that shocked the country. Then, like Australia, something happened and somehow we didn’t have any more school shootings. If only we could pinpoint that something . Like if there was a lesson that co

So as usual, more guns. Brilliant, decades of school shootings and your solution is to throw more guns at the problem. Honestly if you like guns, you should really hope you don't get what you're asking for. Because once the inev

They weren’t very useful in either Parkland or Uvalde. I think at the point where you’ve got a fucked up person, determined to kill, with easy access to firearms and a culture where “a school shooting” is a regular thing, you’ve already los

It’s not a little “use selenium” switch you can click, but it absolutely is an option (and there are others) if the barrier is simply to have an authenticated account and be logged in. If these data scraping operations are as sophisticated

Sorry I don’t buy it. Hundreds of millions of people use Twitter, and we are to understand that there are an enough people scraping to the extent that they had to suddenly take drastic action by shuttering unauthenticated access? Any dev wo

I actually get what you mean. There's something kinda rewarding about reducing chaos in a tangled system like that. At a certain point (as long as you're careful) you kind of can't go wrong, every little improvement increment
