I recently left a FAANG. Shortly before I left (for unrelated reasons) the director of my org got scolded by the VP he reported to because token usage in his org was low. After that the ICs in my org were told to use ai…
I know someone who works on the macOS permission system. If you submit a bug report and share the feedback number, I will send it their way https://bugreport.apple.com/
I’ve been running Linux for ~20 years. Proton is, without a doubt, a huge leap forward for the ecosystem. I stopped dual booting Windows for games ~5 years ago and haven’t looked back. It’s positively wild to me that…
They needed to compile the kernel because they were using the full kernel. The main package repository (and thus the main binary caches) only include a de-blobbed version of the kernel. To get standard Linux including…
I would argue that you should do something similar in Haskell, too. It would ensure that practically everything accessing the allow list fails to compile unless it had been adapted to the new model. Haskell’s strength…
Disagreeing with a particular taxonomic way of describing different types of people simply because it makes it hard to advance your political beliefs does not mean the words involved in that taxonomy are slurs. “Slur”…
Cisgender is recent, but it’s also primarily used to serve as the counter to transgender. To understand “cisgender”, it’s useful to study the history of “transgender”. Transgender was introduced as a term because it…
And yet, Elon has decided that a term used in academic medical research for nearly a century, “cisgender”, is a slur and banned from the platform. Funny how he wants to protect objectionable speech that aligns with his…
The Korean approach is still wrong, arguably. If you want to include the totality of the life of the baby, the next normal stopping point would be conception. That would make the child ~9 months old, not 1 year.
I disable password authentication and use fail2ban. It's unlikely they will be able to brute force my key, but no server is perfect. sshd might be compromised one day. I’d rather have an extra layer of defense just in…
Many of the str functions in the C standard library assume a nul terminator.
I’ve used Mac’s at my job for about 10 years + a few years of personal use before that. I’ve had ample time to get used to the Mac workflow. macOS’s approach only works nicely if you expect to have one simultaneous task…
Some models of the Turing machine have an infinite tape in only one direction. Some also don’t require every state to have an exhaustive set of transitions. Those models generally consider going off the end of the tape…

I’m assuming I’m the “assertion made below”. I made no such claim. Let me rephrase it. There have been 8 mass shootings in America in the last 7 days. No one was running to twitter to speculate about their causes. No…
But, again, why are you focusing on a group that is statistically less likely to commit mass shootings compared to the average person? Even if you find some root cause for trans shooters, you’d be, at best, eliminating…
You optimize for the common case, not the uncommon one. Shouldn’t we figure out why shootings in general are happening rather than fixating on a specific case because it involved an unpopular minority group?
This narrative about trans shooters is disconnected from reality. If you take every trans shooter in the last decade, you get less than 10… out of thousands. For context, last year America has nearly 700 mass shootings.…
Citation needed. Everything I’ve seen indicates that transition rates are roughly equal.
Browser JS definitely never had the ability to unmount storage volumes before Chromebooks existed.
Oh the tons of hours waiting for menus to load to swap your camouflage pattern after crawling onto slightly different terrain…
I also completed MGS3 on euro extreme, and was about an hour from the end of MGS2 on euro extreme (the action sequence right before the MG Ray fight). I was playing the PC port, and let me tell you: aiming the automatic…
Back in the day I beat MGS2 and MGS3 on Extreme. The box shouldn’t be your plan for sneaking past any guards. It’s for situations where you are caught out without any cover and you need to hide. Pop in to it right as…
Yes. That’s how the public domain works.
I had a at-home-only version once. Then I failed to unlock my vault on my iPhone (FaceID issue or something) and it refused to allow me to enter the master key without first passing the 2FA check with the server (did it…
