So fetch content is bad because it runs every time. Vcpkg does run once. So I would suggest that the author should try vcpkg, because it just works.

thank you for again demonstrating Western propaganda gish gallop
of course it would be a waste of time to address the layers of nonsense due to Brandolini's law,

but suffice it to say that West, who never apologized for genociding millions of Muslims, repeats the same gish gallop in their propaganda to distract from their war on, and attempted genocide of, Syria and Yemen

I fixed it for you. Now I know you will have a knee jerk and get back. And.. I am not even a Russian but I do believe that it's time for the world to embrace the fact the existence of Russia and China and end of hegemony of US and Dollar.

And I will not respond you further. Keep living in the bubble inflated by Western media.

As someone who used Jira and BitBucket quite a bit: The mistake was using the cloud version.

It's really a shame that Atlassian have price almost everyone out of their self-hosted solutions, because those where always much faster. I'm sure that Atlassian understands the business case better than I do, but I just don't see the point of their offerings when I can't afford on-prem. The main selling point for us was always: "We do not want this data on any servers we do not control, and Atlassian products allows us to do that". Now you need to be able to afford a data center licens, and I can't imagine those sell to well, other that to existing customers who now have no choice.
They did help the entire world get work done for 30+ years so they can't have been too bad.

It depends on the definition of target user/market. For IT professionals definitly yes.
Aside: trapping information in proprietary silos like Discord and TikTok only breaks the web more. Both require phones/phone numbers to participate. Both ostensibly track users' every move. Even just passively accessing these services normalizes internet communities dying and valuable information being lost forever in a deluge of memes.
All of the above and the root permission will be fixed jn future release if yuh want to wait
This is true, until bitbucket starts to go down.. The fact that it's better is just circumstantial.
I think it's just about having something new and lots of people getting excited about it. Part of the problem today is that there's too much cynicism floating around especially on sites like Reddit which has seeped into HN also. Or maybe it was always there but the optimists don't comment anymore.

Crypto was that for a lot of people. Leave aside all the cynicism it is still cool as a tech. I think the LLM developments feel like that right now. Tomorrow there will be something else.

But the places where people will be geeking out will not be probably the open internet but closed ones like Slack or Discord. I think this is a shame but it cannot be helped probably.
Elon Musk’s Twitter labels CBC “69% government-funded media”
I think they decided that Apple is a coopetitor - i.e. they are a competitor on multiple fronts but they ultimately need to support their products operating on Apple's platform.
It's really not though is it, that's just your programming thinking for you.

Human deaths from weather and climate related events are near all time lows, while overall population is indeed at all time highs. We have better crop yields (3) and productivity thanks to both technology and indeed, CO2 fertilization of the atmosphere (4), which is driven by photosynthesis, a process which is optimized at thousands of ppm for the vast majority of plant species, many multiples from where we now stand.

Of course, the most abundant periods for life on earth have been periods of abundant carbon, such as the Carboniferous era, and the Cambrian era (5).

Clearly the ecosystem is far from collapse as a result of mild warming and improved plant productivity. In many regards, it's thriving, and certainly more so than 100-120 years ago, which predated any pretense of conservation at all.

And we know that it's indeed glaciation (global cooling) that so often leads to catastrophe in ecosystems (1)(2).

But that we can program human beings with subtle prods of horrific and exaggerated headlines, along with cult-like expectations of consensus, into believing the opposite to be true from reality, is certainly an indication of paperclip optimization gone awry.

American carpenters visit a carpenter trade school in Switzerland
I find it fascinating that the USA lacks these kinds of education systems. Trade schools exist for software developers, too. Some companies in Europe even prefer trade school over university education, as the later often have not really learned the trade of software engineering.

I think there's a single point that we need to keep an eye out for;

A model that got to the point where it's possible for it to propose new architectures, improve optimization & efficiency.

In other words, the extremely massive model that could do this doesn't need to be available to the public. It's sole purpose should be to be used internally by a company to improve itself.

This is actually the point at which many say could lead to the singularity.

Coinbase Could Move Away from U.S. If No Regulatory Clarity: CEO Brian Armstrong
Can you rephrase this so it's not written so passive aggressively? I'd love to have actual info, but you seem to be trying to beat the previous commenter over the head instead of actually considering what's being said.

E.g. "The excuse of "but Leaf battery degradation" is on its way out, sorry" - this is just silly. It's not an excuse. It's a reason. If the reason goes away, then great. But to pretend that people are making excuses betrays a very shallow way of looking at things.

When in fact, what they're saying is true. It may not be the case for everyone, but for a lot of people's situations it will be. It would be good to understand the additional situations people are in that might be becoming EV-accessible, but we can't do that if people such as yourself are endlessly brow-beating people.
At some point someone somewhere is going to build a real-life E1M1 replica (as in something you can walk through). I kinda suspect it already exists.
While you have a valid point, I disagree with how you said it.

Marketing is a term that comes from a going to a literal market to promote goods for sale.

A marketing team is different from the product team. A product team aims to understand the market and solve the problems for that market. While the marketing team's job is to let people know that you're solving the problems.

Marketing is about promoting. It's about letting people know you exist. Yes, you need to understand the market and solve a real pain but that part is product development. Marketing will worry about product placement, about knowing who the correct audience is, where to reach them, etc.
The presumption that 20 characters is any meaningful amount of entropy is based on the password actually being somewhat random, and there's no fundamental reason to believe that that's true. I tend towards brute forcing not being the most likely reason for this, but the indisputable reality is that any combination of weak passwords and PBKDF2 makes it plausible (if not necessarily likely) that an adversary with a sufficiently large hardware budget can break disk encryption.

Many large concentrations of power have moved toward to softly excercising their powers, rather than hard. Users (also citizens) can take a lot of abuse IF their superiors position them to be vulnerable to them, and also give things to them at the same time. This kind of thing was a classic in interpersonal relationships, and now significant leaders found out that it works well on a large scale too.

And just to underline this point, I invite you to look at comments of people reacting to situations like this. They sense that something is very wrong, but as they are vulnerable and attached, they don't like the idea of letting go at all - so they defend, apologize, rationalize, do whatever they can so that they detach the undesirable thing from the beloved entity. Just like how poor abused people do to make sense of their partner hurting them.
> "a picture is worth a thousand words"

and it might be opposite for the GPT models actually. it's just easier for humans to grasp the bunch of knowledge with one eyes sight, but usually most of useful information might be represented with just of bunch of words and machines are to scan through the millions of words in an instant.
I am honestly curious, what countries do you refer to when you say not-welcomed countries? The first thing that came to mind was Germany, but I am guessing you were not talking about that...

Never forget that hostilities towards people from specific countries is a rather subjective phenomenon. What is religion to one person, is completely unacceptable to others.
Honest question - what do you like about Windows?

I used windows from 3.1, NT, 95, 2000 until XP, at which point I switched to Linux for my main OS.

Obviously I used all the later versions of Windows too for work, but each version seemed worse and less usable (7 was ok I guess).
I have put a lot of effort into getting donations, but they just don’t come. It’s a dead end. Even if I annoyed my readers in the manner or Wikipedia, I still would not make rent, but I would make my website significantly worse.

In any case, it’s futile to argue with you. You have the luxury of judging from a distance what I’m constrained to describe from first hand experience. You bring up Propublica and Mother Jones as if these rare successes mattered to people with humble readerships. It goes to show that you don’t have a tenuous grasp a reality I’m familiar with. You express desires, I express facts.

In any case, why should anyone care about what you want? You get a free product and complain that it’s not free enough. The cheapest customers are truly the most demanding. It behoves any self-respecting person to ignore them.
a) The part you quoted stipulated "...in the absence of any sort of opsec failures this implies...". You might be surprised to learn that some folks _can_ run really, really tight opsec.

b) The first two sentences of the next paragraph read:

> Or does it? Let's go into what LUKS is doing in the first place

Someone who doesn't know in detail the math of how this stuff works but _does_ know how to run tight opsec could very reasonably assume that now fairly long passwords can be brute-forced. That's like, the entire point of the article, innit? Describing how this almost certainly _wasn't_ an attack on the password, but almost certainly an attack on the mechanisms that use that password as an input to crypto.
If you could just write good code that would be fine.
> They basically copied the UX of Office 2003 and did nothing to improve upon it since it's initial release over a decade ago.

On the contrary, sounds marvellous.

Sounds utterly weird. Spreadsheets already are tables, so WTF is the use of a “separate concept of tables” within your tables? Seems to be geared towards creating confusion.

You had to be the best of the Best to work for DEC —not a nerd-hipster (like the talented, but not trained or experienced techies at Apple and Microsoft). Apple and Microsoft were all over us trying to get us to quit DEC by falling for their limos and food courts (our CEO drove a Pinto and we wore suits because it neutralized people coming from different backgrounds as being equal, so we could truly work together regardless of our socioeconomic background, not because we were jerks like LSD-dropping Steve Jobs, who was off screwing Japanese investors out of $100 million in 1989s money with in his magnesium Cube at the time). A couple things happened to change it all, but the gist of it is that Dave Cutler finally cracked and defected to Microsoft (he’s the Ace of Aces behind all major DEC systems from 1970s forward and now behind NT and Azure) and the DEC boardroom was anxious about Intel having appropriated DEC’s revolutionary RISC processor tech that would go on to give us the last 35 years of the otherwise dead X86 tech that was cheaper because it was being sold in high volume by an army of PC clone makers. First the Board sold DEC’s Hudson division that made the groundbreaking Alpha and StrongARM chips to Intel (as a settlement), and then they sold DEC itself. There is a lot more to the story, but that’s pretty much the bottom line. What happened to the people? Cutler took many, when Google and Amazon became a thing, they tracked some or us down (including YouTube founders) and took some. The vast majority were sent to the benches (permanently). I heard a rumor that DEC’s then youngest senior level worker ever today hangs out on here sometimes and has a reputation of like 11 because truth sort of conflicts badly with all the crap that bloggers wrote for the current generation over the past 35 years. You see, those bloggers were maybe computer store (like shoe store) salesmen, but probably were just slightly smart school children when all of that reality was goin’ on. RIP Ken Olsen. FU Dave Cutler.
We have paused our CBC News Twitter accounts
Uncle Bob has been widely criticized for his political stances, basically being a MAGA republican.

This also spilled into some critiques of Clean Code which are sometimes colored by this.

I vaguely remember reading about an impedance matching game, but I can't find it anymore. The goal of the game was moving the projectile to the correct location, and that projectile follows the same kind of curve produced by a reactive load on the Smith chart.

"And hotels hate reservations made over the phone or by email because too many guests never pay a deposit and never show up."

I'm thinking you're from a non-western country, otherwise that would be false; the only wiggle room you gave yourself was 'booking through email' which I don't think even really exists, unless you meant booking through a hotel's website. Hotels take your deposit when you make a reservation over the phone or on their website, and if you book through booking vs the hotel the hotel will lose 15-30% of the room sale.

You have just as many choices when looking for hotels, just look at google or bing. You don't need booking for anything. People rarely just drive up to hotels without checking hotels in the area beforehand on their phone. I'm not familiar with it in developing countries.
I don't want to overstate this - it's absolutely possible that the password was obtained through some other mechanism. But a weak password (even if it's 20 characters long!) as the input to PBKDF2 is something that can plausibly be broken in a reasonable timeframe using realistic hardware, and there's a really easy way to fix that, and people who care about this should protect themselves.
Linux Mint has started changing the UEFI boot order every time GRUB updates. Which seems to be quite often recently. It's incredibly rude!
"The problem, of course, is that few of us can agree on what "clean code" means, and how to get there. A rule like "methods should only do one thing" looks great on a T-shirt, but it's not so easy to apply in practice. What counts as "one thing"?

I don't agree with this statement at all. From my experience this is perfectly possible. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the statement... why would it be hard to write methods that only do one thing?

Some time ago, I asked GPT4 to write a sonnet about exactly this question. That it is unfortunate, that GPT4 cannot take the garbage out. The LLM answered as expected with a witty sonnet.

I then asked it to write about the same topic in the style of Shakespeare.

Its response started with the line 'To sweep, or not to sweep, that's the question'.

I found that incredibly clever.
Some subs exist solely to provide space for product promotion using unaware users as medium, so yeah it's not surprising this thread is locked.
It's no worse than using, say, Microsoft Teams or Microsoft 365. I also make sure not to paste anything sensitive into it. The kind of thing I've find it to be useful for is massaging the one-paragraph intros to be more readable.

For example, Microsoft docs tend to use the word "you", which doesn't fit into certain styles of design documents. I used to have to rewrite the product overview paragraphs myself to clean them up, now I just ask ChatGPT to do it.

I feel the same. They made me hate this shit. I'm especially salty because to me, originally, Windows was the coolest thing ever - when I first saw Win 3.1.
So if I were to replace a large switch statement with a decision table, then that's AI all of a sudden?
The sad thing is, Windows (even 11) can be great.

I bought a new PC 18m ago, and due to the particular software I need to run, I needed a primary Windows installation. The PC came with a Windows 11 license, but I downloaded a stripped out ‘gamer’ focused ISO and installed that instead.

It’s brilliant. Thanks to the nature of the ISO, it is totally debloated – far beyond just the obvious removal of things like ads and spyware. As a result, it boots faster than any operating system I’ve ever had – once you get past the bios shenanigans, it takes about 5 to 7 seconds and it’s fully ready to go. (That’s a clean boot, not from sleep). It’s similarly fast in regular use, and it has been perfectly stable.

(The only downside of this approach is you have to be careful what’s been stripped out before you make your choice. In my case, I’ve not been able to install a printer, and WSL has also been removed. These are minor irritations, which so far I haven’t led me to abandon this installation – because otherwise it’s just great.)
