Is this actually correct? https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Saltpans makes me think ChatGPT is referencing the wrong book.

This is just an excellent comment, thank you. One note - we're not as concerned with predicting exactly the user's build as I think your $DAYJOB might be. We need to scan the space of possible valid resolutions that'd do a bi

Dependabot lets you know if a dependency you use has a vulnerability and opens a PR. The problem comes when teams are unwilling to merge those PRs even if tests pass. In my experience there's a very binary split here. Some codebases (e

I generally agree with you, but I'd caveat that a critical CVE is easier to take if you're on the latest version of that dependency (so you can easily apply just the patch and not other changes). We want to help you weave package

Interesting. Should it? I don't have much experience installing ruby gems with the OS package managers, I've always done it through the language-specific ones like bundler / gem. Here's a github issue showing the kind of

Definitely. I'm very interested in govulncheck and building tooling into the ecosystem to make dependency use safer.

Thanks! We wanted to start with a language that's relatively consolidated around a framework before expanding to more balkanized ones like JS.

Can you expand a little? Here's some technical background on what we're doing: We have our own database of every version of every rubygems package alongside its runtime dependencies (like you see at https://rubygems.org

Only Ruby right now. We want to make it work really well for one language before expanding. Which language would you want it in? We have a command line tool you can use to send your lockfile to our server so we can process it, but you have

Thanks for the feedback. We know we're tackling a big problem here. Our ultimate goal is that if you use Infield we keep you on the latest version of every dependency, automatically. The road to get there can go a number of ways. >

It's a bit buried, but if you go to https://app.infield.ai/hn and click "I don't use Ruby" we'll ask for your email/language and put you on our list.

Thanks! We actually pivoted to working on this problem at the beginning of last year. We were previously called Syndetic and were building software for data providers. As we considered pivoting I spent some time thinking about the biggest p

(founder here). The interaction between high level language package managers and system binaries or compiled extensions is definitely on our roadmap. For example the ruby net-ssh gem relies on specific versions of openssl being compiled on

I still use wobbly windows on KDE and it fills me with warm nostalgia.

Can you explain the screen tearing thing? I'm running kwin on X and I don't notice any screen tearing (including doing things like moving windows around rapidly with the "wobbly windows" effect on).

Yeah, here's where I think things tend to go off the rails in the wayland discussions with people having different personal experiences. I've tried to run both firefox and chrome in the native wayland mode and neither works proper

Is the scaling algorithm specific to the wayland implementation? I saw a github thread about configuring it in sway but wasn't able to find anything about KWIN. I'd also love a flag to just disable scaling on a per-xwayland-app ba

Ok, here is my use case that wayland doesn't work for. I have an AMD graphics card (5700xt) and two 4k screens. I want to run firefox, chrome, emacs, and a terminal. Using KDE or Sway, if I set my desktop scaling to 2x, all programs th

Can you explain (or share a link) to some proposal for how to enable my pihole to securely talk to upstream resolvers but force all embedded devices on my network to go through the pihole? Anything that lets my pihole sidestep my ISP seems

As someone who recently set up a pihole, I was shocked that it was possible to redirect all DNS requests on the network (in plain text!) to the pi. I did the method where you set up a network firewall at the router level that redirects all

I just want to chime in and say you probably don't want to do this. Steam on linux can technically work with NTFS drives, but I've only had success running games that are linux-native. With anything that uses wine behind the scene
