The recent "opus 5 is worse than 4.8" suggests otherwise

yeah that didn't work. Some apps required particular runtimes to use. We installed those versions in /opt and used them only for the apps that absolutely needed them. Scanner still said "there's an old shared library in

how can you learn to use a tool that keeps changing unpredictably?
125.
by vrighter 2mo ago
no, they can't in indentation based languages. changing indentation implies changing the code. A formatter isn't allowed to do that
126.
by vrighter 2mo ago
indentation based immediately implies no safe copy pasting, and you can't count on a formatter to untangle the havoc pasting some code can wreak

I have been given a list by security. "We had an automated tool scan that machine. It reported these. Fix anything medium severity and above. Never mind that some of them involved vulnerabilities in some part of the bluetooth stack (se

if that document really does need internet access to be rendered (unlikely) then it can use the internet connection one would have used to upload the file in the first place.

Why would rendering a document need internet access?

I would like to add the constraint that if your software doesn't work, regulatory bodies will fine and sanction your country.

disruption != benefit. I was called quite disruptive in class when I was young. I'm sure my teachers never meant it as a compliment.

my workplace just gave me a new laptop. It has a slightly faster cpu, the same 16gb of ram I always had, no fingerprint reader, no card reader. One less usb-c port as well as one less normal usb port. Apart from the CPU, everything else is

I turned mine smart by using an esp32, an IR led and a n ir demodulator. The esp32 has the ir led pointed towards the AC and the receiver aimed at the room. It then hosts a small html page and connects via wifi to my home network. It used t

In my country, Malta, we drive on the left too, but I drive a LHD car, so everyone can tell me I'm on the wrong side somehow.

It's not about using different tooling. It's about using all the tooling available to you. An LLM can help you (I don't like them and don't use them but to each their own). It might be able to help you when you don'

The compiler does respect my code's semantics, provided I obey the contract and avoid UB. If I do, it does that perfectly. I compile it a million times I get the exact same semantics every time (yes, stuff like register allocation migh

I don't trust promises from the ones who stand to gain from people believing them before they are delivered. Yes they claim it's jsut a couple of years out... we'll see then

See the problem with generating apps like this is that you have no idea what secret sharing even is and it's pretty clear you didn't even bother to research anything. This has so many holes, and secret sharing schemes NEVER send

good thing quantum computers that can factor numbers have never been built. No number was ever really factored without cheating, the actual shor's algorithm has never been implemented. And we're not really any closer to

"far less deterministic" does not make sense. it's either deterministic, or it isn't. llms aren't. And to anyone who starts spouting the mantra that you can just set the temperature to zero and i just don't kno

the oss community has a phobia of having anything in common against all its reimplementations of the same thing. So systemd offers some consistency between distros: bad. X11 was pretty much standardized, that won't do.... let's in

you can neither check nor enforce any conditions. So the right answer is A

the only difference is that the compiler always looks at the whole code and if it says it can do something, it can, always, and without fail.

shhh don't give anyone any ideas, because they'll try it and sell it to management, as idiotic as the idea itself is

a lot of cves are of the type "if you leave the keys in the door, then anyone can unlock it and get in! We must destroy all doors, they are insecure!" This is one of them
