DelightOne··on G/O Media Incorporating AI-Generated Content
Why is ChatGPT allowed to do it and not Google?
DelightOne··on How the data center site selection process works at Dropbox
5 commands that when you forget them or when they go wrong you have to manually fix. And where when you automate them you realize on your laptop that something went wrong and you have to go back and fix it, possibly losing hours depending on where your other computers are.

Who would want that, possibly over many repos? Git isn't even working well with large files to be synced. Think about git submodules. So much can and does go wrong because Git is not designed to sync that way. Not worth the hassle for most people.

DelightOne··on The 'fuck you' pattern (2021)
Why can't UBlock Origin do that?
DelightOne··on eBPF Verification Is Untenable
Of course it would be nice if every app can load up its own untrusted eBPF code and for the kernel to not be compromised. But why such high standards, where else is that the standard to go for? Seems perfect is the enemy of good.
DelightOne··on eBPF Verification Is Untenable
> to be secure against actively hostile code

Was that a requirement for the predecessor of eBPF: Custom kernel modules?

DelightOne··on Now Reddit are coming for the individual personal subreddits
~~Doesn't support Safari.~~

edit: Nevermind Safari works. 1Blocker blocks comments with the "Block Comments" ruleset. Usually it is supposed to hide comments where they are not the primary focus. So some rule should probably be adapted for Lemmy instances to work.

edit2: Reported it to 1Blocker.

DelightOne··on How I feel quitting my own startup
How can that happen and how do you avoid that happen without ones' own knowledge?
DelightOne··on Reddit’s blackout protest is set to continue indefinitely
Lemmy comments are broken on Safari - they do not render.
DelightOne··on Layoffs push down scores on Glassdoor – how companies respond
Is there a Meta Review for Glassdoor like for Amazon? Something that records how many reviews were removed.
DelightOne··on Apple dives into display-making to cut reliance on Samsung
A browser with features not broken by design? Scary.
DelightOne··on Large-scale study reveals autoimmune disorders now affect around one in ten
The body detecting and removing them would be cooler. I wonder whether any mutation anywhere exists that does that.
DelightOne··on An Ominous Heating Event Is Unfolding in the Oceans
How is it supposed to cool anyway when there's less and less ice storing the chill? I mean.. where is the coldness supposed to come from.
DelightOne··on Design quirks, limited parts, and other ways Chromebooks frustrate repairs
And some much better.
DelightOne··on Firefox may soon reject Cookie prompts automatically
But.. what if it asks to allow tracking based on your internet provider? Then the provider delivers who you are automatically instead of anything you control.
DelightOne··on Spotify abandons Heardle less than a year after buying it
Why don't they just ask songs some of you once heard before using ur song history?
DelightOne··on A trick to reaching flow: Leave your work broken
I usually add a line with a plain "todo" to break the build and afterwards a three-line comment describing what is supposed to change. At the end of the change I remove the todo-line and move the three-line comment to the now-better location as documentation for why that code there is the way it is.

When I don't have such comments, its usually back to the collection of design documents thinking through the next feature.

DelightOne··on GPT4 simulating a FTP server at ftp.disney.com
> From the script it appears that GPT4 is fully 'aware' that the FTP server is not real

Is "this word fits here" now synonymous to "fully aware"?

DelightOne··on GPT-4 identifies SVB’s biggest risk & gives good advice using 2021 balance sheet
How do you know it doesn't use 2023 data just because you tell it to pretend its 2021?
DelightOne··on ChatGPT is rendering other people's chat history in the sidebar
When I do not know how to program something, I get a couple of options. Often better than Google.
DelightOne··on Saying goodbye to Stack Overflow
Something like that. Especially when the Chatbot then corrects the small usual mistakes it already knows by itself (as ChatGPT can).
DelightOne··on Saying goodbye to Stack Overflow
Those can be answered by ChatGPT. Only question is where to integrate it into peoples' workflows. Maybe into the post-creation interface? Maybe into the SO question-creation dialog.
DelightOne··on Mozilla solves the Manifest V3 puzzle to save ad blockers
Right, I am talking about Chrome. You seem to be talking about something else.
DelightOne··on Mozilla solves the Manifest V3 puzzle to save ad blockers
When that walled garden relies on 3rd-party tools and does not give them enough power to do their job well.
DelightOne··on Mozilla solves the Manifest V3 puzzle to save ad blockers
Except that not being able to block all ads potentially containing viruses makes THAT walled garden unsafe by design.
DelightOne··on CMU CS Academy: a free online computer science curriculum by Carnegie Mellon
Universities still require students to go through their own, potentially worse, material.
DelightOne··on Git archive generation meets Hyrum's law
To clarify: I am proposing to use the old archival method for already-existing releases, for example by passing in the necessary arguments to git archive forever. Releases without previous archival or created after some point in time in the future call git archive with the new arguments. No substantially more storage should be necessary.

Once the accompanying gzip-version is sufficiently old or unsafe, breaking very old releases does not matter anymore, making it a seamless transition.

DelightOne··on Git archive generation meets Hyrum's law
Can't Github just keep the old archive as it is for the already-existing releases and use the new format for new releases? Over time old releases phase out and the advantage of the new format is completely in effect. You can even use a time-based cut-off date if you somehow want to get it in sync.
DelightOne··on Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't (2019)
That's what you would expect from the App Store as well, since why change a dynamic library when the code-controlling developer can just build a new version with his own code when the developer wants to update the app.

Injecting new (the nature of not being available on app-submission) framework versions on the developers' behalf would be scary, since these versions weren't tested with the app because the versions did not exist before. As you said, ABI compat is impossible when no one cares about that much.

DelightOne··on Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't (2019)
I am talking about apps on the iPhone where Apple does not have access to developers' source code, right? We might be talking about different situations.
DelightOne··on Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't (2019)
So.. how do you rebuild apps without having access to their source code?
