Don't worry, the hard lessons are already being set up as we speak!

I've heard of it by name, but not much beyond that.

I'm very sceptical of using shadow prompts (or prompts of any kind) as an actual security/compliance control or enforcement mechanism. These things should be done using a deterministic system.

I'm not a KDE user, but reading the article, it looks like theme-specific colourful icons for third-party apps will just be falling back to whatever icons originally shipped with the app. You'll still have colourful icons, and hop

Yeah, if anything the governance model is questionable. The browser itself is technically competitive with anything else out there.

There's two main reasons for this: - First and most impactful: as the earth curves down and away from the observer's horizon, your line of sight goes through a thicker slice of the atmosphere. Looking straight up you might have 10

My criticism was mainly of the original article for failing to link to a primary source beyond hotlinking some dmgs. I appreciate you linking these, though, as well as the extra context.

My issue with this comment is my issue with the original article -- what's the actual source for this information? As far as I can tell, this article has no actual link back to any Unifi press release, git repo, or other project page

It's not about copyright _maximalism,_ it's about having _literally any regard for copyright_ and enforcing the law in a proportionate way regardless of who's breaking the laws. Everyone I know has stories about their ISP sen

Except that the jury’s (at best) still out on whether the influence of LLMs and similarly tech on knowledge workers is actually a net good, since it might stunt our ability to critically think and problem solve while confidently spewing hal

Quanta is a pretty popular, popular science outlet. It tends to be closer to the theory than (capital P, S) Popular Science magazine, but ultimately much of what they publish is digested to a degree for lay consumption. They had an article

This is coming on the heels of David Suzuki stating in an interview that he no longer believes we can beat the momentum of climate change (adding that the best we can do right now is likely just hunker down), all while politicians in the US

"Sit tight and assess" as used above is probably a reference to the movie "Don't Look Up" from a few years ago, which (heavy-handedly) parodied administrations like Trump I (and which unortunately seem much less lik

This seems like a laughably scant CVE, even for a cloud-based product. No steps to reproduce outside of this writeup by the original researcher team (which should IMO always be present in one of the major CVE databases for posterity), no ex

Okay, yeah, but you kinda want people in your government to (a) not be defined by their history of trolling, (b) not be associated with crypto scams, and (c) maybe be marginally trained and competent at what they do, no?

I never said it wasn't a feature. There was a time, and there are still certain specific domains, where bit bashing the way C lets you is a big benefit to have. But bug or not, I think it's reasonable to call these limitations as

I actually didn't mention the Unix philosophy once in my comment, I just explained why the shell snippet you posted is the way it is. As far as I can tell, nobody in this thread's making long-winded ideological arguments about the

The myth of how much harm "leftists" can do/are doing in the US is probably what got you all here. It's another McCarthyist boogeyman, and it's not even being sold well -- a lot of the marketing's just outright

That's a good point, I hadn't known about the Waterfox drama. I do still use Firefox, but I'd been eyeing Mercury, myself. Anyway -- your other point about bus factors is also fair, but I think it's made a bit moot by th

This is hardly hacking the network. DHCP configuration is surfaced in almost every home router that exposes an admin panel (which is most of them). If you don't want to broadcast your Pihole's address as a default DNS over DHCP, y

This is a bad take. Plenty of licenses involve essentially exchanging a right for a privilege (in simple terms). People who aren't comfortable with this compromise have the choice to not get a certain type of license (and many don&#x27

I think there's a humour to C++ being like Python in that, left alone, the language's community will almost immediately try and stuff as much syntax as possible into the language. The difference is how much power the community has
