I am not sure I understand the distinction between the packaging and build process, at least in the context of nixpkgs. Packages in nixpkgs are essentially build instructions, which you can either build/compile locally (like Gentoo) but normally you download them from the cache.

Official packages for the nixpkgs cache are built/compiled on Nix's own infrastructure, not by the maintainers, so you can't just sneak malicious code in that way without cracking into the server.

What package maintainers do is contribute these build instructions, called derivations. Here's an example for a moderately complex one:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applicatio...

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applicatio...

As you can see, you can include a patch to the source files, add custom bash commands to be executed and you can point the source code download link to anywhere you want. You could do something malicious in any of these steps, but I expect the reviewer to at least look at it and build it locally for testing before committing, in addition to any other interested party.
I think OpenAI has caught the non tech mind share. I noticed just this week that my friend group and girlfriend no longer say we will Google something, but rather let me ask ChatGPT…
I don’t think that ‘hostile’ is really fair in this case, when ‘insufficiently competent’ will do (albeit at the cost of more syllables).

I am not a fan of Grammarly or their technical model, but I don think it’s fair to attribute malice when it is adequately explained by stupidity.

It’s been a long time since I did any front-end work: should both Grammarly’s extension and your own code use namespaced property names?
Also, on races/cultures, at first the Gypsies in Spain hated Camarón (now THE god-like Flamenco singer composer for the Gypsies) because he mixed some progressive music from the 70's with Flamenco and even kind of prototype for Techno.
And tons of Blues from the US, too.

They were more Ethnicist than some staunch American WASP belonging to KKK.
Kinda like Blacks in the US calling another one "Oreo".

They said what Camarón did was "Heresy" to Flamenco music, that his album was not flamenco at all. Heresy with capital letters for them.

10-20 years passed, and, guess why? The gypsies said that Camarón now was "the greatest (Gypsy) one/ever), as it were the Jesus for Gypsies.
I mean yeas, that is a typical fascist strategy.
Thanks for the report. Hmm, we have some tests for CTEs, so at least we tried to support them.

I'll file an issue with your exact query.
I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but anybody who measures military power doesn't actually looks at things like ability to do something. Talbian and co simply survive and don't give up. But they are totally incapable of anything else beyond that.

> Conventional armies have a hard stand against partisans.

No they don't. Its just not worth doing in the long run.

And whatever you may think of the US military forces, they have the ability to do lots of things.
I was surprised to learn that OXO doesn't carry plastic Good Grips containers anymore. This must have been another COVID special, as I purchased an entire set of them years ago. I had to purchase them on eBay.

I like their glass containers but prefer not having to worry about them shattering.
What's the intent that makes it terrorism?
This sounds fantastic! Thank you for your work. Now I gotta go learn Rust :-).
As far as I understand, this solution requires interactive authentication first, i.e it brings up the idp login page then issues the required keys etc. I was asking about whether there's a way to automate this such that one can use a static token, or a machine key etc. This way you could still benefit from rotating the key, cancelling a user's access etc. I believe this is what sssd can do today except it doesn't work on musl based distros.
That sounds like double/triple glazing which is has been around for years in Europe. The most common type uses Argon as an insulator, but there are also vacuum versions.

about embedded sql: you are right, this must be solved on the editor side. in vscode, it should be possible via request forwarding [0]. for neovim there are plugins like otter.nvim [1].

and at least for js, we are planning to add direct support for it in our workspace api so that `postgrestools check file.ts` will emit diagnostics for embedded sql. this is only feasible because we can easily parse js/ts code in rust via oxc[2] though. are you aware of similar tools in other languages?

Yeah, and also (light spoiler) over the course of the show, the system(s) in question go from something more like advanced data analysis/surveillance AI to a full-blown AGI scenario - and it's the only show ever that actually discusses this topic in plausible, realistic way. That's why the quote changed by the end, because (among also the change of perspective), the question of how the computer system itself feels about you became both valid and relevant.

> There are some bouts of introspection, especially early on, which he uses as justification for installing the backdoor in the first place, but on the whole he's adamant that none of this is his fault.

Well, at least until later, where I'd say his perspective evolved towards fear and eventually immense guilt ("selling the world for a dollar"), which made it hard for him to consider the possibility that what he created might want, and perhaps have a right, to live. Finch is the opposite of the "oops I guess but really I've done nothing wrong" kind of billionaire.

Not needing polymorphism, interfaces, DI frameworks or auto-mocking, IMO.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but IMO with this strategy you ship way less production code.
The US is in a far worse state than those countries you listed sans Hungary. What doesn’t help of course is that the US seems determined to export American fascism back over the Atlantic.
It won't be like that. You'll slide further towards Putin/Erdogan state management and oligarchy. Hints of it already in how AP and The Atlantic are being treated, and the hints about what a future judicial system might look like.
My extension problem story is a bit different. We distribute an extension that makes it easy to switch between proxy servers for geolocation testing.

I ran my worst client demo ever a few months ago. It was like our product simply didn’t work. A lot of pulled hair and frustrating debugging later we discovered that a recent update to the 1Password extension broke ours. They were subscribing to an auth event, but not returning, this timed out so our subscriber was never called. So our extension would tell the browser to change proxy servers, then sit ready to provide credentials, but the request would never come. 1Password’s support team was better than grammerly’s, but it’s hard to convince an unknown PM to prioritize something, especially if you’re speaking to them via a support team.

We’ve since discovered that there’s some Russian extension you need for government websites that has the same issue.
Is there a standard way to build a useful multi-story building yet?
At no point would I say web development is super simple. It's hard to get started, it's hard when something gets larger/more used, and it's hard when things are massive.

There are so many things to consider, as the original post shows. On top of that is:

- accessibility
- screen reader support
- testing
- usability
- animations/transitions can help and are another can of worms
- SEO
- consistent user elements -> interface components
- responsiveness
- performance
- minification
- lazy loading images
- optimizing images (eg serving a 200 kB webp/avif instead of a 5MB JPG)
- caching/scaling so your server doesn't go down when Hacker News/Reddit links to it
- hosting cost
- security
- CORS
- CSP
- forms
- validation
- feedback
- helping users fill it in correctly with as little friction as possible
- user content sanitization
- rate limiting
- licensing
- of the content you make
- images you use
- libraries you use

Your toolset might work for a simple website that nobody will visit, but if you actually care about providing the best experience you might want something more.
> With this, you can create powerful web applications

As long as you are able to keep your requirements simple enough. I feel that it is not the tech stack that is getting complicated, it is the user and management expectations. For example, try building a web app like Google Docs, even a simple one, with Vanilla JS and CSS and other tech you mentioned. You can do it. But it will take you far longer than somebody who is not limited to this simpler stack.

The world of web has shifted.
For today's whataboutism: billions of people live in cultures where buying the best-priced product and not noticing or ignoring the slave labour or environmental costs in the production chain is perfectly moral.

E.g. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-merchant-iphone-...

There's also a lack of outrage of how our trash gets exported. It's the phone producer or the trash-people's crooked morals, not ours.. ;-)
Every time I see something pertaining to a pomodoro timer, I'm reminded of interviewing with a YC founder in downtown san mateo in the early 2010s (he was working on websockets + slide deck/prezi-like tech iirc), and half our interview consisted of him hyping up this technique. The company went under within a year, and I could never respect this technique afterwards
For a while now, I've had the idea that some malicious person could have a browser extension that detects and modifies news sources to spread propaganda. We've already got joke versions of this, s/{some annoying topic}/{joke} — and for the moment, this is still in the "ha ha what a silly bug" domain.

One day, I expect it won't be silly. It'll be some more subtle transformation that rewrites one party, or one person, as having constantly sinister motives.

Will we even hear about it, if such a thing comes our way?
The Aztecs were hated from the rest of the tribes. The rest of the Natives joined the Spaniards against them. Guess why.

Hint: human sacrifices and slavery.

For the rest of the Natives, they were like the Nazi Germany, or, a better comparison, the Imperial Japan in Asia.
I think "woke" has kinda gone out of fashion this year. When actual fascists remove their masks and start grabbing for power, it becomes blindingly obvious that the "woke people" were absolutely correct about pretty much everything. Even if their tactics and methods were a bit bad at times.

Hopefully I'm not the only centrist who woke up to this.
Awesome, great job on the site! I saw it on the Slack, and was surprised at the level of detail in some of the pages like the tooth selection screen :D

>US has shown the citizens no longer deserve the freedom that they had

>We do need a big powerful government full of Democrats to run things.

>Democrats have proven that they actually do give a fuck about the country, so they should have more power to unilaterally exact laws and legislation without trying to appeal to the Republican voter base.

And after that they say that it is the Trump who is the fascist.
yep, it's in Grammarly's interest to namespace or scope their CSS in a way that doesn't conflict. Not doing it adequately goes both ways, website CSS could break their extension, or their extension could break the website.
> And that would make sense totally aside from punitive response

So the government has spend the last nearly 50 years completely failing in building rockets or sats the way SpaceX did. SpaceX with little money did it in less then 20 years.

And now you think its smart to have have the government taking over again? Do you want the government to run the global Starlink network, dealing with costumer complains?

What part of NASA or any part of the government in the last 20 years convinced you that they could operate SpaceX?

DoD tried to make space good and literally created ULA and after 10 years they often paid 300+ million for a launch?

And just FYI, Starshield is Starlink for the government and the government already controls those themselves.

I've seen something similar, briefly and ages ago now, with it doing the equivalent of* en:"I speak English" -> fr:"Je parle français".

* It might not have been French, I remember the effect not the detail
`String => Cat` and `String => Animal` are the types of the functions themselves - not the arg and return types.

If we consider inside the function:

foo : arg:String => result:Animal
foo =
;; arg <: String
;; Animal <: result

However, outside of the function, when calling it, the opposite is true.

let result = foo (arg)
;; String <: arg
;; result <: Animal

It's easy to get them mixed up when looking at it from the wrong perspective - but we should be looking at functions from the outside, not the inside - so yes, parameters should be contravariant and return types covariant.

I like your definitions! My personal definition of science is learning rules that predict the future, given the present state. And my definition of engineering is arranging the present state to control the future.

I don’t think it’s unusual for engineering creations to need new science to understand them. When metal parts broke, humans studied metallurgy. When engines exploded, we studied the remains. With that science, we could engineer larger, longer lasting, more powerful devices.

Now, we’re finding flaws in AI and diagnosing their causes. And soon able to build better ones.

Of course, just selling a single stock will lower the price of other stocks. But the dropoff is nowhere close to what you are implying. He has sold lots of stock over the years and somehow Tesla stock price didn't drop that much.

I feel like you used 'worth less' to imply 'worthless'. But this is far from the case, 13% would still be a gigantic pile of 'money'.

It is pretty funny how such a clumsy programmer-name ended up catching on regardless. At this point even if they move on to a totally different model architecture they'll have to keep calling it GPT forever because that's the name everyone knows.
Indeed. It's the user's browser and experience, it's not up to the website owner. But it's frustrating to get bug reports when a 3rd party extension is the problem, not the website. Many visitors will just bounce blaming the website too.

It is closer to 35. I know because I was running an e-commerce site in 1993. Yes, you could add items to a shopping cart, place an online order using a credit card back in 1993.
ChatGDP? Yeah I use it
What would the benefit of doing this be?
Agreed, absolutely everything done needs to be viewed through the lens of what will the ratings/viewership be. Everything makes more sense. Just think of the public spectacle, interviewing world leaders in the pulpit at the Whitehouse for example. It's a live TV show.

I actually bought a 4" round LCD for that reason, but ended up ditching it in favor for the e-paper display. I also stuck to just showing minutes (and in the last minute 10-second interval updates) so that it doesn't get too distracting.
No, this is a rationalization.
Oh, come on. “Priceless” is never not hyperbole. Everything has a price. But for an average person, 100 million pounds is an unimaginable amount of money. Any object worth that much is essentially priceless.
Its frightening to see how many screenshares and recordings contain that green infestation as default on every website, not just the obvious visual disturbance (am i the only one who thinks the green is ugly and clashes with most websites colors?) that does not seem to bother users but the privacy and obvious attack vectors that come with it. Chrome can enable extensions only when needed why does no one do this? Why is this not the default on every browser?
Manjaro users used to come to the Arch forums for support. In one case user came with some kind of a kernel issue and when we started to debug it someone noticed that the kernel version they were using was not in the core or testing repos at the time. (It was newer and bugged).

There were many such cases. There is now a policy in place: https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/#arch-linux....

That's not all! Some Manjaro users learned to withhold information that they were using Manjaro and insisted that "it's archlinux", even when their own logs clearly said Manjaro.

Also, people behind Manjaro let their ssl cert expire 4 times. At one time they told their users to change their system clocks: https://archive.is/JeOLo.

Manjaro people have literally DDOSed AUR. https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1017

The amount of scripting languages _for Rust_ is a symptom of how Rust fails to satisfy the need to write code with less strict requirements.

It makes perfect sense to use Rust as the main language for your application but have areas which are either in the prototype stage, need to be written quicker or which simply don't need the performance. But Rust does not offer a way to enter such a less strict context and such proposals keep getting shot down by the community, even when they are made from core members of the Rust team.

Contrast that with C# which has a dynamic keyword, allows enabling a checked context (not just in code where you can't miss it but also from csproj), has reflection, etc.

I really want Rust to succeed but sometimes the attitude borders on zealotry.
> So don't do this then?

Don't do what?

- Don't write unsound code? There's no way to know until you run the program and find out your `int` is actually a `list`.

- Don't assume type annotations are correct? Then what's the point of all the extra code to appease the type checker if it doesn't provide any guarantees?
Chatgpt is going to be more like "jeep". My relatively old grandma just calls all SUVs jeeps. Meanwhile, she doesn't even drive an SUV.

I doubt anyone from gen Z, or any gen, really, is entrapped to chatgpt. They'll all just use what is easiest and requires the lowest amount of input energy to get a semi passable output.
I guess it's telling that faced with the prospect of the fall of American democracy, the obvious thing is to start gambling on it.

I don't know how much I would gamle in such a case. There are many outcomes compatible with his previous actions. Maybe he gets a heartattack. Maybe there is no election. Maybe the election process is manipulated so he wins. Maybe he actually wins, fairly or 'fairly'. Maybe they find a way for him to run, maybe it's Vance. Maybe someone else.

The important thing is that we should prepare that shitt will happen, and democracy don't survive automatically. We literally have him on tape, pressuring Georgia secretary of state to "find 11,780 votes" and overturn the state's election results. And it is not 'lazy' to prepare (intellectualy and physically), and when it happens it's too late to 'discuss the politics'.
