The title immediately reminded me of Cory Doctorow's pet peeve with AI and its alleged ability to "evolve" into support for consciousness, which he described as: "This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding faster and faster horses, we'll get a locomotive"
As a user it feels that you get cosy with stuff they know and you gain a lot of time until you hit something they don't and you lose more time than the sum you gain from the beginning because finally you have to learn everything and more to be able to understand how the LLM put you on the wrong track.

The black swan for LLM in a sense.
Heh, agreed. But the derailing of USA is extremely worrying to me (the trend is downward), whereas with China it is a given I accepted.
A huge typing pain.

So that's why they broke loading issue comments without JS. As if the (post-M$) UI hadn't been sluggish enough before...
The BASIC interpreter parses numerical values from text each time a token gets executed. It converts that into a float and, in the case of POKE, then into an integer. Using the dot without the implicit leading zero, there's no need to convert a "0” (48 in decimal) into a zero and, possibly, a multiplication by 10 of previously parsed digits, in this case the starting zero value.
Probably nothing. That was their last hope...
Disagree. SourceForge was established in 1999. The term "software forge" was in widespread use, until Github started gaining mainstream attention. But the term "hub" doesn't necessarily always refer to the same thing - e.g. certain adult entertainment website is also using it.
I don’t the comparison with a sports car is particular fair.

I regularly drive both a 2011 Prius and a 2023 BMW X1 “mild hybrid”, I’ve also test driven an iX1 electric and X3 “real” hybrid recently (all practical family cars).

In order of increasing accelerator-input-to-actually-moving (at low speed) delay:

iX1 electric (best)
Prius
X3 hybrid
X1 mild hybrid (worst, dangerously bad)

That is to say, every time I get into the 14 year old Prius I think “wow this is nippy” after having driven the 2 year old X1, which we’ve nicknamed “the lag wagon”.

Toyota really nailed the driving ergonomics of the gen2 Prius, given the constraints. Yes, it’s a slow to accelerate at high speeds, but it’s still really nice drive around town.
Any power, worth its salt (and China is most certainly one of those), will be acutely aware of conflict which involve opposing powers.

If something can be done through the Israeli/Palestinian conflict which damages the US, you can be sure China is working on it.
To me the worst part is not even the feed (I can use “following” tab) but the replies. I often used to look at single threads to see replies there. Since they started prioritizing replies from premium users it turned into cesspool and I eventually stopped using X altogether
Depends on the wasp/bee species. Not all of them swarm. Also, ants are related to wasps, and you will see similar behavior with them.

I had a friend, when I was a kid, that shot a white-faced hornet nest (not actually hornets -they are big yellowjackets -even worse) with a BB gun, from, like, 50 meters away.

The hornets figured out who shot their nest, and swarmed him. May have just been that they attacked any nearby critters, but he certainly paid for his folly.

White-faced hornets are better to have in your yard, than yellowjackets. They are a lot less aggressive, only attacking if their nest is at risk. They also eat yellowjackets, so you have hornets or yellowjackets, but not both.

The article and the poll it is based on is wild. Questions like, "do you think all Palistinians are anti-Semitic or just the Hamas terrorists" and similar push poll style nonsense offering limiting answers to slanted questions.

However at least one question is about whether the attacks on Israel...

Can be justified by the grievance of Palestinians

So while most questions force them to pick sides between Hamas and Israel with no option to say they support Palestinians they do get at least one chance to say whether they think the Palestinian people have legitimate grievances (though still only in context of supporting an attack).

And the Intercept article is very clear when they link that they think Palestinian and Hamas support are being intentionally conflated, just as you've tried to do again here.

I don't know if that's the whole story? Sure, GitHub has more data to process (and way more compute), but even when switching between tabs within one repo (going from code to pull requests, for example) GitHub is still much slower even though its query shouldn't be affected by the number of repositories it has.

TikTok wasn't banned. It was required to be sold but ByteDance refused to do so, probably because the CCP won't let them.

And if the U.S. does ban TikTok then it sets a precedent that other countries can ban U.S. and Chinese social media apps in the same manner. Europe for example.

Overall I agree with you. I was merely speculating on why there is so much pushback against the TikTok ban -- that people (erroneously) pattern-match this decision to McCarthyism.
Yup, so short-sighted. Probably boosted numbers when lots of trolls bought premium to be noticed (where their obnoxious replies normally would land in the bottom with no views), but in the end I got so tired of the hostile environment that I just stopped using it.
Agree. Much less maintenance with Caddy
There is probably the real truth about why providing this generous free tier. The more websites you host from the same domain, the better leverage you have in the field.

For example, less countries or companies, would ban cloudflare network IPs for whatever reason when it means a such big part of the Internet would be cut off. Something when you have to negotiate your peering agreements for interconnection with others.

Also, regarding their ddos and other network security protection, it means that a bigger part of internet is in their direct control and doesn't have to be firewalled like everything coming from the outside world.

It's the same thing as when you look at GMAIL, why it is so generously offered to everyone for so long. But now you imagine that any service provider in the world you limit or consider spam what is coming from gmail? Impossible

It’s amazing how many constitutional rights are allowed to be restricted by contract in the US. First Amendment free speech rights are on that list.
It's not whataboutism, it was a very relevant question and possibly a precedent, no need to react aggressively.

For one, you can't implement blanket security features on an OS unless all devices have TPM 2.0, so all users who want the better security will have to have TPM 2.0 devices. Those who don't can stay on current hardware and use it till it falls apart.

Secondly, if Microsoft is bad for deprecating SW support for devices without HW security features why isn't the same uproar against Apple for doing the same?
Literally every social network launched in the last decade was outspokenly anti-Zuck, all of them failed or are struggling. People don't care.
Western companies operating outside China are often forced to agree with China's censorship requirements too. Look up the "great cannon" on wikipedia. Many such examples.
If tiktok were to remove the recommendation algorithm than it wouldn't be banned, which means that it's not about free speech.
The irony is not lost on this oldie either. We used to truly be anonymous. No real names. No photos or videos posted online. JavaScript was limited to the wonders of DHTML. Web pages were documents. Everything felt decentralized, as was intended. I really miss those days. Ok, not the under construction animated gifs, but everything else.
I don't think the 4 GiB instance actually ran into an OOM error. They merely observed a 400 MiB memory spike. The crashing instances were limited to 256 and later 512 MiB.

My unpopular opinion on this:

- He waits till he is in charge

- Presents himself as White Knight (or rather Orange Knight?)

- Gets TikTok unbanned

What is infuriating is the fucked algorithm that is now showing in priority the tweets of Elon, even if you don't subscribe, follow or care about him.

There's definitely a difference in company culture. One place I worked at you'd shout donuts into the office chat from your coworker's unattended laptops (and they'd be on the hook to bring in donuts or equivalent).

We used to play this on IRC. Was quite fun.
The analysis looks rather half-finished. They did not analyze why so much memory was consumed. If this is the cache which persists after the first call, if it's temporary working memory, or if it's an accumulating memory leak. And why it uses so much memory at all.

I couldn't find any other complaints about rust backtrace printing consuming a lot of memory, which I would have expected if this was normal behaviour. So I wonder if there is anything special about their environment or usecase?

I would assume that the same OOM problem would arise when printing a panic backtrace. Either their instance has enough memory to print backtraces, or it doesn't. So I don't understand why they only disable lib backtraces.
lmao so the past 8 years where the media was a propaganda org for the DNC was what exactly?
What evidence do you have that preexisting news coverage was biased regarding Israel/Palestine? From many Israeli perspective, much of MSM is biased against Israel!

Everyone else is responding with FOSS, so I'll respond with some companies:

Co-Star, the astrology SaaS, is apparently written with a Haskell backend. I'd love to have seen the casting call for that.

I believe the Mercury bank also runs most of their backend stuff on Haskell. Functional languages in general are surprisingly common among financial investment firms.

Some of Target's stuff is written in Haskell. I think there was at least one big Facebook project that was written in Haskell, but they may have moved away from it by now. Awake Security does some Haskell stuff.

One thing which might be surprising is Haskell is apparently quite strong for general backend web dev.
This happens with partial autovectorization, too. Compiler fails to vectorize a first loop and then vectorizes the second, result is a store forwarding failure at the start of the second loop trying to read the output of the first loop, erasing the vectorization gains.
How does this compare to a tool like RepoPrompt?

The worrying observation I make from Traitors is how easily a group of about a dozen people can become so sure of guilt on so little evidence, and time after time of being knowingly wrong. What if anything can we learn from this to understand the jury system and prosecutorial process?

Also, I have watched a bunch of series and I have not once noticed anyone click the obvious “hack”: the last person to enter the breakfast room after a kill night is almost always a faithful, because of the TV cliffhanger of viewers hanging on which of two faithful survived. It’s the best truth signal the game gives and I’ve never seen a player mention it. Maybe TV edits the knowledge out.

This baffles me a lot as TikTok and RedNote have very distinct market niches except for their Chinese origin. I assume if someone were interested in a flavor of social media like RedNote they would have been on it already.

Is there a really strong market demand for whatever social platform as long as it's owned by a Chinese company?

In many (most?) places they can't state this explicitly in official documents, so you are usually free to come up with your own story, why you parted ways.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they made an offer for the unneeded ones: hand in your notice now (and act like it was your decision), or we promote you to a user.
Can anyone comment on the code review experience? (I assume similar to Gitea but I haven't tried either).

I recently did some moderately serious code review in GitHub and discovered it's a baby's toy version of a code review tool. It seems it would be unusable for serious engineering work unless you totally design your source control model around making that work, at the expense of all the other things that influence how you wanna manage your history.

I am mostly used to Gerrit which has a very reasonable basic model but a lot of rough edges and some performance issues.

Suddenly I realised I don't think I've ever actually used a review tool I really like! I wonder if our industry is just getting by without one?

IIRC the Gitlab one was slightly better than GitHub but I can't remember too much about it.

After months of hard work and countless late nights, I'm thrilled to share that I just launched Snippy on Product Hunt!

What is Snippy?
Snippy is a Chrome extension designed to supercharge your productivity:
Create dynamic text snippets and templates for reuse across websites.
Access snippets anywhere – whether you're writing an email, crafting social media posts, or filling forms.
Use AI-powered suggestions to generate content directly within text fields.
Lightweight, seamless, and integrates effortlessly into your workflow.

Why I Built Snippy
I constantly found myself rewriting the same type of content across platforms – emails, feedback, support responses – and wished for a tool that could help me reuse, adapt, and even generate text on the fly. That’s where Snippy was born.

The Launch
Today, I’m humbly asking for your support on Product Hunt. If Snippy sounds like something that could make your life easier or help your team, I’d love it if you could check it out, leave some feedback, or even give an upvote!

Here’s the link to Snippy on Product Hunt

Feedback is Gold
I’m also here to learn! If you’ve built something similar or have thoughts on improving Snippy, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments.

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate your support!
I found that today "bare metal" is used equivalent to "non-cloud". I think this is pathetic.
At least encrypt your private key and store it somewhere private, and then store the decryption key in your password manager. Then if either one is compromised you are still safe.

I just don’t get why don’t people use the “following” tab. You only see people you follow, if they post things you don’t like unfollow them that’s all.
I don't think that's true. For instance, Meta will spread whatever information it's legally allowed to if you pay them.
Very possible. Most import tariffs and bans are to protect national industry. Still a "our humans are more important than yours" division of the world.

But yes, countries who impose import restrictions often don't want others to impose them.

This is definitely true. It’s also completely normalised to build a large commercial service on open source and not even contemplate if or how the upstream project is funded, or consider funding the upstream a serious cost.
> started prioritizing replies from premium users

And often non-premium users are simply flagged as spam and hidden.

Which actually means that if Elon removes your blue checkmark (as happened recently with Asmongold) then it is akin to a shadowban.
Caddy is pretty good! Nginx does feel quite similar to Apache2 if you don’t try to do too much mod_rewrite.

To be honest, you can have both good and bad configuration in either.

I recently migrated one stack from Nginx to Apache2 (where an Nginx container would refuse to start when it was a reverse proxy for say 10 services and one of those took longer to start meaning that it had no DNS records, so Nginx would be in a restart loop and the other 9 would be unavailable) and it was fine.
Maybe it is, these days? As much as I appreciate all the functionality brought to us by these tools, when I started web-dev circa 2005, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL + PHP) was the go-to for hobbyists.

As much as I look back at the simplicity (Apache config was not that difficult for a small site, at least with Apache 2.0), the part of me that operates production software these days gets anxiety the idea of it all.

And yet, when I wrote a small website to host my wedding website last year, it was indeed Linux, (some webserver), Postgres and PHP, with me copying files manually to FTP. It was probably nginx but you know what, I paid a company £50 for a large amount of storage, bandwidth, a domain and SSL certificate, for year, and everything went dandy. Horses for courses and all that.
Whenever the Russian government denies something like you're suggesting, I take it to be an admission. I'm usually right.
