How do you decide what externally available packages to store/cache in artifactory?

I’m curious, as I also deal with this tension. What (human and automated) processes do you have for the following scenarios?

1. Application developer wants to test (locally or in a development environment) and then use a net new third party package in their application at runtime.

2. Application developer wants to bump the version used of an existing application dependency.

3. Application developer wants to experiment with a large list of several third party dependencies in their application CI system (e.g. build tools) or a pre-production environment. The experimentation may or may not yield a smaller set of packages that they want to permanently incorporate into the application or CI system.

How, if at all, do you go about giving developers access via jfrog to the packages they need for those scenarios? Is it as simple as “you can pull anything you want, so long as X-ray scans it”, or is there some other process needed to get a package mirrored for developer use?
Apropos.

Yes, yes they are. A captcha is a simple system which returns a binary pass/fail. A dark pattern plays with your understanding of reality to make you choose what is beneficial to the company at your expense.

Oh, that makes more sense. I’ve never worn shoes like that so I couldn’t make any sense of that situation.
Yes. Nucleophobia.

Same reason it's called "euv" and not "soft x-ray".
The "shut up and calculate" attitude has done a lot of harm to physics research over the past decades. It is quite remarkable and more than a bit surprising that the primary tenet of general relativity -- that spacetime behaves differently where there is curvature vs where there is not -- was not sufficiently accounted for seemingly by any researchers this entire time.

I am interested to see some retrospective metaanalysis on how many cosmological models have not suffered from this glaring omission. I suspect it's very few but I also think that it would be difficult to do this kind of modeling before we were able to do analysis in silico so there would be an obvious bias in the set of theories.
Minimalism with computers is the only sane "way", at all level.

Ofc, the planned obsolescence fanatics of the javascript-ed web or of ultra-complex syntax computer languages will make it as hard as possible to let this "minimalism" a "real-life" alternative.
Yes, it is more that margins are highest when a machine is brand new so it pays to maximize duty cycle. It will last for a decade, sure, but those 90nm fabs are not nearly as profitable as a 4nm fab.
I've always wondered what the name for this was! When I was younger I noticed a common one in some of my social groups, "small little"; I'd always wondered whether it was a cultural phenomena (someone said it, then it kept spreading) or a more natural diminutive (like I think "small nitpick" is).
That's exactly what I've understood, and this becomes even more important as the size of codebase scales.

Ultimately, LLMs (like humans) can keep a limited context in their "brains". To use them effectively, we have to provide the right context.
To clarify: this is Developers as in housing & building developers.

Socialized healthcare is good because it doesn't mean you're tied to a job or worried about in/out network hospitals. But, care would still be rationed as it doesn't magically provide us with infinite resources.

I just like to point this out since there are very good arguments for socialized care in the US, but this isn't one of them.
I didn't say they weren't.
> Why would it not avoid dark patterns?

What do you think is going to happen if an AI system which avoids current dark patterns starts being widespread? Bad actors aren’t going to shrug their shoulders and stop, they’re just going to make systems which trick those AIs. Adapting a dark pattern is significantly faster and more cost effective than training a new AI to bypass those new approaches.
Sounds like OP hasn't tried the AI IDEs mentioned in the article.

For example, Cursor Agent mode does this out of the box. It literally looks for context before applying features, changes, fixes etc. It will even build, test and deploy your code - fixing any issues it finds along the way.
I use WireGuard to access all in-home stuff as well, but there is one missing feature and one bug with the official WireGuard app for android that is inconvenient:

- Missing feature; do not connect when on certain SSIDs.
- Bug: When the WG connection is active and I put my phone in Flightmode (which I do every night), it drains the battery from full to almost empty during the night.

Ok, that makes sense. As far as I can tell, even truncated to "just" 122 bits, there's still no known way to generate a SHA-256 collision, so the MD5/SHA1 versions are comparatively vulnerable vs an hypothetical SHA256 UUID version. However, it's starting to feel like UUIDs may not be long enough in general to meet the need for secure, distributed ID generation.

Didn’t seem like dunking on juniors to me
I don't know. Your comment feels like alien. The first line under the first bold heading is:

"Remember your first day reading production code? Without any experience with handling mature codebases, you probably quickly get lost in the details".

Which looks pretty much accurate. And yes, this includes the (later) implied idea that many juniors would read a PR in some kind of linear order, or at least, not read it in order of importance, or don't know how to properly order their PR code reading. And yes, some just click in the order Github shows the changed files.

Not that for 99% of the industry, "junior dev" is not the same as something like:

"just out of uni person with 12+ years of experience programming since age 10, who built a couple of toy compilers before they were 16, graduated Stanford, and was recently hired at my FAANG team"

It's usually something bewteen that and the DailyWTF fare, often closer to the latter.

Very sceptical of "Context First: We front-load system understanding before diving into code". The LLM sees the whole input at once, it's a transformer, not a recurrent model. Order shouldn't matter in that sense.

I use docker compose for development because it's easy to spin up an entire project at once. Tried switching to podman compose but it didn't work out of the box and I wasn't motivated to fix it.

For "production" (my homelab server), I switched from docker compose to podman quadlets (systemd) and it was pretty straightforward. I actually like it better than compose because, for example, I can ensure a containers dependencies (e.g. database, filesystem mounts) are started first. You can kind of do that with compose but it's very limited. Also, systemd is much more configurable when it comes to dealing service failures.

Steelmanning the decision to overturn Roe there's two factors.

* The belief that Roe was illegitimate from the beginning and that Right to Privacy was invented by the courts out of nothing.

* Changing prevailing sentiment on the issue in a manner not dissimilar to the position they were in during Civil Rights. Meaning if left to stand the existing rulings would have impeded progress the country clearly wanted to make. This was one of the justifications for Roe in the first place.

I think it's not hard to see blue states as acting very much like southern states did during the period the tide turned. This of course requires being neutral on abortion but I think it's not inaccurate to say that "an obvious wrong and evil" is how pro-life people view the issue.

>Marketers ruin everything eventually

You need to follow that chain of thought a little further. The unfortunate weak spot in a capitalist economy is that it's basically a Darwinistic system where the fittest survive, and "fit" means willing to do anything to make a dollar. Morals therefore become a weakness, and those who are guided by morals will be stomped out by those who don't really care. The guardrails are made of laws, not morals, and those who make the laws are often benefiting from the status quo. Like it or not, this is the jungle we find ourselves in.

The TL;DR is that sensor fusion is really hard, and their bet was that keeping the training pipelines simpler would let them scale faster/easier, and human vision is the existence proof that it can be done without lidar.

In AWS why would you need a NLB/ALB for this? You could expose all ports you want all day from inside the EC2 instance, but nobody is going to be able to access it unless you specifically allow those ports as inbound in the security group attached to the instance. In this case you'd only need a load balancer if you want to use it as a reverse proxy to terminate HTTPS or something.

I would like to provide liveable wages for both artists and athletes.

Who gets to choose which artists and athletes are funded?

When do we start funding them? In high-school, before? After they graduate? There are many people who identify as athletes at that age, football players, cheerleaders.

I have a 6yo son who is really good at doing various crafts and he really enjoys it, does he count as an artist?

How do we define art? Are we counting the preforming arts? Does someone playing the guitar in the subway count? What about my garage band that I have with my friends?

On the flip side, are we also going to ensure Taylor Swift has a livable wage for life? Tom Brady?

Following this format, here's some of my favorites:

1. Pro Git, by Scott Chacon and Ben Straub (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2)

- Skill: Git, covering both high-level aspects (commiting, branching, GitHub/GitLab, etc) and its internals (objects, references, packfiles, protocols, etc)

- Kind of material: free e-book, book and website

- Why is it good: easy to read, even when approaching the inner aspects. It's very unlikely that you won't learn something new and amazing after reading it. The Git internals chapter is a gem, providing and demonstrating the plumbing commands that manipulate the internal data structures.

2. Learn you a Haskell for Great Good by Miran Lipovača (https://learnyouahaskell.com/)

- Skill: Haskell

- Kind of material: free e-book, book and website

- Why is it good: covers the language and functional programming in a very fun and informal way. Reading it and learning Haskell made me a better programmer in other languages (specially in Python and Kotlin)

3. intro_x86-64 by Luana Martins (https://gitlab.com/luamfb/intro_x86-64)

- Skill: x86 assembly (NASM)

- Kind of material: tutorial mixed with code

- Why is it good: covers the x86-64 assembly using the NASM syntax, explaining the basic instructions, the stack, function calls, syscalls and so on. Easy to read, with some exercises. The chapters themselves are valid NASM code that you can assembly and run in your machine.

4. Putting the you in CPU by Lexi Mattick (https://cpu.land/)

- Skill: operating systems and program execution

- Kind of material: website

- Why is it good: explain what happens when you run a program, covering syscalls, multitasking, memory management, fork, exec, ELF and so on. Everything written in a very fun and informal way

5. Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho

- Skill: Python, but for those who already know Python and want to improve their skills

- Kind of material: book

- Why is it good: explains in depth several Python concepts, sometimes even showing the bytecode.

It looks to me like journalists do provide context in some cases. Because the lack of context makes some people and policy look better than they would without context, it's worth trying to remember which people and policy don't get contextualized, and which do.

For example, with some context, we can't tell that particular politicians floated policy proposals that were met with widespread pushback, then disavowed the policy. Later, when the uproar dies down, the politician quietly enacts the policy. Without the context, we don't see that politician as nearly always untruthful.

By selective contextualization, particular politicians can be framed as fabulists, or framed as driven by circumstances, and therefore blameless.
