- Laws can change, sure, but probably business practices will change first, since it is easier. In EU, you are entitled to money refund for online purchased goods (with some caveats ofc), but the business can (and most do) require you to send the item back first, on your own expense. That reduces the risk of fraud like this.
- > all areas that matter: sleeps when lid closed, wakes when lid opens, touchpad and display don’t suck.
All of these seem to be fine on my thinkpad (true, I probably have somewhat lower standards for passable display). Battery life sucks a bit, what I can usually fine outlet somewhat to plug into.
- > Just commit the example input
The example input(s) is part of the "text", and so committing it is also not allowed. I guess I could craft my own example inputs and commit those, but that exceed the level of effort I am willing to expend trying to publish repository no one will likely ever read. :)
- I am very happy that we get the advent of code again this year, however I have read the FAQ for the first time, and I must admit I am not sure I understand the reasoning behind this:
> If you're posting a code repository somewhere, please don't include parts of Advent of Code like the puzzle text or your inputs.
The text I get, but the inputs? Well, I will comply, since I am getting a very nice thing for (almost) free, so it is polite to respect the wishes here, but since I commit the inputs (you know, since I want to be able to run tests) into the repository, it is bit of a shame the repo must be private.
- > Old terminals are slow and have a bunch of weird Unicode issues.
rxvt-unicode is plenty fast and handles unicode well, at least as far as I can tell...
- Pricing model for a terminal. What a time to be alive.

Well this is something at least I guess.
- > that “times” is a property over the “5” object
Maybe here is the confusion, ruby is based on message passing, so the `times` is a message you are sending to 5, not a property of it.
- But at least it was not low effort spam.
- Last time I was looking into this, is there not up to an hour of delay for the billing alerts? It did not seem possible to ensure you do not run over your budget.
- Yeah, the book is definitely worth the asking price.
- I found https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/tramp-emacs.html#Multi_00... to be working pretty well, but it definitely took some fiddling and experimentation to get the right settings.
- The thing is TRAMP also gives you a shell, not just a file access. When I am in a remote buffer, I can do M-x shell, and I will get a command line running on the remote host. What is more, since the T stands for Transparent, when I want to insert e.g. output of some command into a buffer, the command is executed on the remote host and I do not have to do anything special to achieve that, it just happens auto-magically based on the directory of current file (local vs. remote). I find that useful, and you cannot really do these things with a network drive on Windows.
- > talking about the average developer really, not the typical end-user
Average developer wants Windows (with WSL) or Mac. Still not Linux. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- One huge advantage of JQ is that it often is installed. I have jq in our Jenkins image, but I do not have this tool. The syntax is bit arcane, but once you invest bit of time into learning it, it starts to make sense (to a degree). It is a reasonable language for a stream processing.
- I see, I misunderstood that. I have read it as an attempt to prevent redis taking the code from valkey.
However, if the intention was the other way (to allow valkey to take code from redis), valkey should just go for AGPL as well, there is little reason to pick GPL if the code sharing would be the motivation for the license change.
- I am bit confused by the comments here. Sure, it remains to be seen whether Redis Ltd. can be trusted again, but cannot we just be a happy for a bit that we (again) have a good software under a free license?
- I am not sure what that would achieve? Combining programs under GPLv3 and AGPLv3 is possible (the resulting work is under AGPLv3).
- Good question. I care only about POSIX compatible shells, so the escaping just follows the POSIX rules. In practice that means it works on any actually used system except windows, which is fine with me.
- Another approach is to have powerful enough language that allows you to guard against the shell injection. I wrote a syntax form allowing to do this:
With file being bound to "foo'bar" and output to "x", it is automatically translated into(sh "cat " file " >" output)
This gives you the flexibility to use shell (sometimes it just is the most concise way) while being safe against injection.cat 'foo'\''bar' >'x'I believe for example in rust you should be able to do the same.

() ascii ribbon campaign - against HTML e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments - Bit annoying is that when companies ask for a portfolio, they often mean GitHub. Lot of non-technical hiring people I discussed this with were confused by the fact that there are other ways to contribute, like mailing lists.
- What I find interesting is that the project claims MIT license, but if it is "almost entirely" AI generated, I am not sure it even is copyrightable. So either the licensing terms deserve some large disclaimers, or it is not "almost entirely" made with AI. Based on the name I assume it is your project, could you shed some light on which of those two options is correct?
- It's mff.cuni.cz. ff.cuni.cz is faculty of philosophy, mff is faculty of math and physics :)
- > so app starts
I assume this "app" is not open source, correct? Is is compatible with Linux systems? Can it run on non-FHS distribution?
> all your other apps are shutdown
I admit I am curious about this bit. Does it just start killing all other processes belonging to the same user ID? Or of all users (since you could get "assist" from process owned by an another user)? At least PID 1 needs to survive the slaughter, but it can be used to run arbitrary code to assist with the cheating. So how does it tell what is "an app" it needs to stop?
- No.
- If you (the company) send me a company laptop to use for that shit, sure, we can interview that way. It is the same deal with Teams and Zoom. None of that shit is touching my personal devices, it is strictly limited to the work machine.
- > Unicode case folding decisions can also be made at that point
Ok I will bite. How do you indent to do case folding without knowing the language the string is in? Will every filename or whatever also have its language as part of the string? I am not sure what the plan is there.
