- Confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity :)
- I would log a warning when an attempt fails, and an error when the final attempt fails.
- I shudder to think what capability the execute bit would grant.
- It would be more plausibly practical if GHC could now target wasm, but this announcement is actually about being able to run the compiler itself in the browser.
- He gone doofed.
- I have burned git into my brain, so it's no longer hard to me. OTOH, I only pull out jq once every six months or so, and I just barely scrape by every time.
- > More energy from the digestive system to power a bigger GPU.
Is GPU already the metaphor du jour? I thought we were still aboard the steam engine ;)
- As demonstrated in the article, you can compute clamp(x, min, max) with straight-line code.
- I also do this sort of restless refactoring. I find interacting with a new codebase is a kind of brain hack that (subjectively) helps me get up to speed faster.
- Hmm, not on iOS Safari.
- You nerd sniped me :) In this context, I believe it is a kilo-Jansky, not a kilo-Joule * year.
- Well... "TM Signal" was just in the news. It's close enough I bet it could fool some percentage of otherwise security-conscious users. https://www.wired.com/story/tm-signal-telemessage-plaintext-...
- Do phones have trusted execution environments? I suppose you could require the recipient provide attestation that it's running the expected binary. Of course, this is pointless if the hardware manufacturer shares their root keys with the government.
- I am familiar.
- Oh, I know it's explained in the man page. I read it every time and promptly forget because I can't internalize the choice of notation.
- I always want to reach for `units`, but I'm perennially baffled by the output! What's up with the * and /?
- Oh, I guess you were just sharing and this wasn't advice:
> I just landed a mid 6-figures job _without_ grinding leetcode. They’re out there. This game everyone plays is an abomination.
- I agree the law should attempt to be specific, but I have to point out that this is still quite ambiguous!
Is it permissible to dictate/listen to text messages on my handheld smartphone, so long as I don't hold it in my hand? Can I click "next track" on the steering wheel, but not on my phone screen?
What about smart watches? They are not handheld, but they are equally distracting, if not more so than a phone because their screens are so tiny and fiddly.
- Surely you don't believe that there's a significant fraction of tech jobs that pay $500k?
- I thought TRAMP overrides that setting in your SSH config.
> TRAMP uses the ControlMaster=auto OpenSSH option by default, if possible. However, it overwrites ControlPath settings when initiating ssh sessions. TRAMP does this to fend off a stall if a master session opened outside the Emacs session is no longer open. That is why TRAMP prompts for the password again even if there is an ssh already open.

You've certainly piqued my curiosity. Can you say any more?
- Here's a more informative doc about sandboxing in Chromium

- I "purchased" a digital game once on the PlayStation Store. It wasn't clear from the description that it was completely useless without an active subscription to PSN, so I tried to return it. They said no way, sales are final and you've already launched the game. I did a chargeback, and they basically locked down my account until I filed a support ticket and had to lie, saying someone else made a purchase on my account.
- In my experience, you should prepare for retaliation when you do a charge back.
- I think over the course of 3+ years, that keyboard probably wasted at least 30 minutes of my life.
- I love org-mode, but if I were king, it would accept freakin' back-quotes for monospaced text. Instead, it takes ~tilde~ or =equals=, and I will never remember the difference no matter how many times I look it up.
- I just "lustrated" [0] my Debian Stable machine onto NixOS on Friday, and it's gone surprisingly well! It sounds silly, but I installed this way because I didn't want to figure out how to mount my LVM + LUKS encrypted partition on the live USB.
What is lustrating? Basically, you run the NixOS installation tools on an existing Linux installation (install the tools with the Nix package manager). The installer wipes out anything on / that doesn't belong, with a few exceptions, including /home and anything listed in /etc/NIXOS_LUSTRATE, a file you create as part of the installation steps.
