It wouldn’t be necessary for IA to go under. If push came to shove, they could just downsize and be forced to decide what to delete. They’re probably sort of already doing that but for stuff they have not yet archived. What do you acquire verses what do you delete.

I joined to talk about math and programming. It’s a letdown that this Podunk platform seems to consist mostly of the weirdest, loudest people who saw the political compass meme and took it way too seriously.

The VPN software he had to use to talk to Mossad was only available for Windows.

I’ll have an answer for you just after I finish re-watching Home Alone.

Firewalls and NAT suck. Users have to go through strange procedures in their router’s unpolished, bespoke interface just to be able to run a server. Imagine having a phone that can make calls but not receive them. The internet is broken.

You won’t find him on any social network

I seem to recall he is or was on one of the fediverse platforms. Am I misremembering?

Pure rent seeking. It’s not the only example. So many products have artificial defects deliberately added by the manufacturer so that they can then charge you to disable the defect.

It’s a catch 22. If everyone uses it, game companies get it shut down, and then it doesn’t exist, and then nobody uses it. The only existing methods of piracy are little known. That you’ve never heard of it is expected.

Using it for writing tests is attractive because the way we generally test software sucks. Programs are written abstractly for an unimaginably large number of cases, but only tested for a finite few. It’s so ugly and boring and inexact. I’d be so giddy if a language/system came along that did formal methods properly, enabling me to formally prove correctness in every case. Programming is fun. Proofs are fun. Tests are not fun. And I’m here on Earth to have the most fun.

This is all to say that using LLMs to do the boring work of writing tests is a suboptimal solution for testing software. It fits a general pattern. Yes, you can learn X by having a conversation with an LLM, but I believe it will be a subpar experience compared to forcing yourself to read a professionally-written book on the subject.

memory safety isn’t the only source of security vulnerabilities

I would like you to produce an example of a Rust evangelist disputing this. They’re not as dimwitted or misguided as you seem to think.

Off by one error

There’s an ongoing effort to get gcc to compile Rust.^[1]

It doesn’t answer your question directly, but https://linuxpreloaded.com/ has a large list of vendors you could check out.

How do you get to your home directory?

deleted by creator

A hacky way to fix that is to make that device your user home directory. If the device contains your user home or root directory, it won’t be removable.

I’m looking through the code now. It looks like it’s getting the device list from multiple sources and the fstab source might be losing the race to something else.^[1] fstab devices aren’t removable.
