> So the fixes are still fixes,

maybe, the maintainer would need to review them to determine that, and that can be time-consuming especially because LLMs tend to provide walls of sometimes dense text

since the human couldn't be bothered to understand whether the change is a valid one, why should the maintainer take on that work. if they wanted an LLM to find bugs in their code they could run it themselves with less work than sorting through LLM-generated PRs.


proves you only need conviction to break smth

I called Capital One to replace a card this month (either there's no online flow or it wasn't available to me). The default flow to verify my identity before they'd replace the card was to send a notification to the android app. My android version is too old. The alternative flow (which took them 20 minutes to figure out) was to send a text message with a link to an online ID verification service.

Is it COMPLETELY impossible that you could receive that link on a dumb phone, send it to a PC with a webcam, and then take a selfie photo and an ID photo? No. Is it likely to be an incredible hassle? Is it possible that in other similar situations, you'll be required to use an android app instead of a website? Yes, I've had that happen.

I think you are grossly underestimating the degree to which smartphones have become absolutely mandatory for many tasks.


Is this what apple does in xcode?

The design or gameplay isn't the issue, the aesthetic is clearly Minecraft.

You can't take Minecraft assets, mix the pixels around a little bit, and then be legally free and clear. If the public looks at pictures of your game, and they say "100% it's Minecraft", you're gonna have a bad time.


I've always advocated for smaller atomic refactors.

...oh. Never mind.


It's not immediate restoration, there's a delay.

Its an addiction, just like a lot of things.

you got it all in reverse, antifa are literally the masked goons killing people

Pause frames are wild. I have a cheap Legion Go dock and if I leave it with power/Ethernet connected and no legion in the dock, it brings down my whole network after about 30min or so.

The romans had society. No tobacco or coffee

Thanks for the link. Well that's pretty sad.

>Because meatbag CEOs need to know that they are just as vulnerable to this sort of thing as their employees they so callously discard.

True! And true all day long


Because low quality food or bad tasting food is not a health hazard (well, not a health hazard under the USDA's purview. The population being too fat is HHS's job)

Tyson and Purdue have the occasional problem that causes a recall, like everyone else. In a system like this, some background noise of recalls is expected and normal and not indicative of a problem. For example, this recall is about a labeling issue, and while the USDA is calling this a high risk recall, that's because recalling improperly labeled food is done to encourage trust in food labels, which America does really well, except for all the bullshit terms companies put on food that have no legal definition.

You are supposed to be able to buy from a different company if you think Tyson chicken is shitty, which it is, but for some reason the people who say that's how it's supposed to work keep letting Tyson buy all the other companies that sell chicken products.

Step one is basically just never buy chicken breast. Chicken breast often has some white stripes on it, which is a result of chicken breast essentially being forced to grow bigger than it naturally would. This is known to make the chicken taste bad and have a bad texture, but Americans are bad at paying attention to anything that can't be turned into a simple numerical metric, like price per pound.

Chicken thigh won't develop that striping.


I think you may have replied to the wrong post.

Private cloud compute I think. I learnt about it today too from a reddit post.

If someone is opposed to Communism they should oppose Communism, not anti-fascism. Seems pretty straightforward

Oddly the US is very cozy with some modern Communists!


I don't know. I've seen lots of "architects" conceptualizing just overly complex structures.

As a higher level comment points out, my fear is that Flock will end up being the straw man, happily torn down in favor of more outwardly palatable but privately onerous player(s).

what is "PCC"?

> This is definitely an interglacial period.

Absolutely, and therefore, by your very own link, we are in an Ice Age.

Just as I stated. (Maybe read your own link?)

> Wrong, that's not how glacial periods are defined.

What, exactly, made you think I was defining a glacial period when I spoke of "Ice Age".

If it's not clear by now, I was responding to an abuse of the term Ice age, after all ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQuGub7yzpA&t=94s


> National companies often employ locally and pay taxes and have a stake in your long term interest

> A hostile power [...] has no such stake.

As someone that grew up in Detroit, reading this is basically equivalent to science-fiction for me.

If you think domestic companies have some sort of special stake in your country, you're misinformed.


I wish the people down voting you would take a moment to explain why. Not because I agree with you, but because I don't know about this and I am curious and would appreciate a calm rational person to explain why they disagree with you.

The current administration is the final nail in the coffin of presidential-style governments versus the parliamentary system.

Separating the legislature and the executive has no useful purpose: if the president is going to defacto enact law should be handled by the legislature, then there's no reason they shouldn't just be the head of the legislature and forced to actually whip the votes to do so.


> “exceedingly difficult”

Who are you quoting?

But sure call me crazy for thinking it's user hostile to put install / add to home 5 taps deep into the menu. That has nothing to do with supporting a 2015 web API. They would go on to add smart app banners to promote native app store apps instead.


Still wants an email address. No thanks.

I guess that team was dismantled some time ago, with no on carrying the flag anymore. Modern windows is impossible to work on using just keyboard. Some mods & extensions do help. But the native experience is abysmal.

I remember a time when stupid speech was suppressed by a punch to the mouth. Internet took that away from us, the social pressure to not be annoying dumbass. Now look where we (USA) are. Sometimes violence needs to be used to stop the speech of the oppressor. Tolerance Paradox and all that.

>I would dispute this in anything that isn't mostly about string processing and in that case you can always easily grab different string functions, which you should probably do anyway if strings are that important.

I'm telling you that I've seen it, in stuff as diverse as video games and robotics. Lots of things use strings as values. It's easy to say "just change everything in millions of lines of code" when you aren't the one who has to make that change.

By the way most software does copious amounts of string processing... I think that should be common knowledge, but I guess it isn't.

>This doesn't sound like a general purpose statement that applies to anything broadly.

You sound like you have zero experience. If your config is in strings, and hundreds of thousands of lines of code already rely on the string-ness of the data, then you just can't make the change easily.

>All I'm saying is the the title is wrong and musl doesn't do much to prevent speed in a program. If someone was really trying to optimize, blaming the standard library is not going to get them very far and it's easy to work around, but needing to do that is very rare.

I believe the title is accurate. People in performance-sensitive areas gripe about libraries, even standard libraries, quite often. I don't mean to insult you but you're making bold assertions despite clearly lacking the experience to know how things are done in industry generally.
