Just because something is copyleft doesn't mean the person who gave you the binary you're using has to supply you with the code the used to build it. That's what the GPL does.

Its purpose "if you run the software you should be able to inspect and modify that software, and to share those modifications with your peers" not explicitly resist copyright. Yes copyright is bad in that it often prevents one fro

If nothing else the _perception_ of it is enough to have had a chilling effect, my own parents were concerned and affected by it enough to tell me where not to play outside so that I wouldn't be seen by randoms.

yeah, I would rather it did that. You run Claude in a sandbox that restricts visibility to only the files it should know about in the first place. Currently I use a mix of bwrap and syd for filtering.

To wit, if you get to vote for the HOA board but not for the government that can override every decision the HOA makes, are you meaningfully enfranchised? They're arguing that due to the failure/stalling of the two-state solution,

That one is highly inconsistent, on some platforms its useless. For instance on Chrome/linux entering historic dates via the datepicker takes minutes to slowly scroll through the years. Always build your own datepicker, you know better

I wonder if this is a potential "off switch" for the internet. Just hit the root ca so they can't hand out the renewed certificates, you only have to push them over for a week or so.

The MitM happens when the client sends packets to the fake IP, I think the argument goes.

by webstrand 8mo ago
Oh you mean that it's a popular way of initiating the interception part of MitM, got it.
41.
by webstrand 8mo ago
Really? I thought MitM was always intercepting/manipulating traffic from or to the victim.

by webstrand 8mo ago
MitM isn't even necessary, a rogue DHCP server configuring a malicious DNS could attack this.

No? If the device is connected to a cell, they can still triangulate it just like normal.

Its the same argument for high-density hog farming. If the use of private property may impinge on the neighbors, either through invasive noise, or costs to public utility infrastructure (power, water) then the community ought to have some

I've tried simple whetstones, and haven't yet got the knack of not dulling knives on it. The bizarre sharpening contraptions take the knack out of it, same as the pull-through knife mutilators. It may not be the best, but it is be

This is anecdotal, America is geographically quite large. For a lot of people, where these events are happening are more than a days drive away (10 hours or more), it's not happening "here". A lot of people here _enjoy_ the a

Doesn't seem like LLM generated text to me. Even prior to ChatGPT some journalists preferred to write in a novel-style with extraneous fluff like that.

That's not HTML5 as far as I can tell. If you want both HTML5 and XML validation, you have to write your own DTD.

by webstrand 9mo ago
Unfortunately XHTML5 doesn't exist and if you try to force the issue, you have to re-declare all of the non-numeric HTML entities in your own DTD (I abandoned the idea here). I'd love to use XHTML, its just not viable anymore. As

You can still just manipulate the official hardware to produce the image you desire, i.e. record a video that's projected onto a wall. And it'd be fairly easy to do with existing technology too.

I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and I've never had trouble running a game that's rated gold or above. I've even gotten an Easy AntiCheat game to work correctly. I've been gaming on linux exclusively for about 8 years now and

And what happens when the licensing board gets politically compromised? You cant fix broken incentives by papering over another layer of administration. If the underlying incentives are opposed, the administration layer will be adapted to f

Yeah, the issue is that there are no utilities for manipulating OsStrings, like for splitting, regex matching, or formatting OsStrings/Paths. For instance the popular `fd` utility can't actually see files containing malformed utf-

Details works even when it's set display:contents too, for even more flexibility. Can't animate from open›close, yet, though. That's pretty much my last frustration with it.

I like to think of typescript, pycharm, and whatever consumes t-ruby as, effectively, type-directed linters. The types are advisory only at runtime, so the full power of the dynamic language can be used. But at compile time the type can be

I write scripts in rust as a replacement for bash. Its really quite good at it. Aside from perl, its the only scripting language that can directly make syscalls. Its got great libraries for: parsing, configuration management, and declarativ
