If you host images as well, your bandwidth costs might skyrocket.
I was pretty much forced into putting a site I'm managing for a client behind cloudflare due to the above-mentioned issue.
Even a rock has more personality and humanity than a chatbot. More useful too, since you can throw ot at your enemies to impede them. Can't say the same about a chatbot.
The only rational step for the EU is to support open everything: Open Software, Open Hardware, Open platforms, etc...
Beggars can't be choosers. Until they pony up the cache to fork android, they're beholden to the US.
If you vocally oppose your tyrannical government, you won't avoid a bomb on your head. In the best case you'll get a bullet through your head. Worst case, you spend a lifetime in a prison.
- Press F4 to bring up a console that stays in sync with your window. Extremely powerful.
This os trivially fixed by wrapping them in a flex container. In tailwind that would take 2 seconds.
So we have:
- OP didn't even look at this project before posting it, or...
- they looked and didn't find anything wrong (no eye for quality), or....
- they looked, saw it looked off, but didn't bother to fix it, either due to lack of necessary skill to do that or maybe they didn't want to invoke the agent a second time???
I concur with your conclusion that it seems no human was involved in any step.
Also, evidently, thing doesn't even work given it shows years-old repos that didn't actually get any traction recently. It's AI slop in product form
Speaking of Phoenixes this whole debacle made me start diving into Elixir/Phoenix. My first impression is that I much prefer Ruby as a language, however I'm struggling to even think of using Rails currently.
André is a better man than I. I wouldn't be able to resist making threats about turning off prod.
Israel, the stronger entity, should've been the one to abstain first and attempt to understand and forgive, instead they kept building illegal settlements and driving more and more people out there homes. Israel made sure the embers stayed hot, and I can't think of any reason for that aside from hoping those hot embers produce a flame that justifies genocide and completely eradicating the Palestinian population.
There is no shortage of articles on the internet detailing how Israel is the one responsible for propping up Hamas.
And the current leaders of Iran are the fruits of what the USA/CIA sowed by toppling a popular democracy and replacing it with a despotic monarchy.
What sound highly improbable is someone having access to this obviously different ore (used as a flux) but never thinking of smelting it.
With regards to metals, I have no doubt someone, be it a kid apprentice or a master smelter, experimented with melting different rocks to see what comes out. After all, if you already know that different rocks spew out different metals (copper, tin, etc..) it logically follows that there may be more.
And then someone, be it the same person or a different person entirely, would've surely conducted experiments. After all, you already have Tin, Copper, and Bronze which combines both of them; all with different properties. Of course someone will want to know how this new shiny metal the smelter spewed out fares compared with other existing ones.
Then some smith will want to try making something with that metal, new things are exciting. Many people here are familiar with the desire to try out a new Programming language or framework just for the sake of it, and a Bronze age smith is no different. Then someone will give that mee Iron sword/knife/axe a try , duel a friend, ruin their bronze weapon, and said friend will be like "holy shit I want an iron sword too it's way too good" and bam you got a meme.
And a single instance of something is hardly a pattern.
In addition to what others said about TFA, This part jumped out to me:
> Specifically, I was sent this commit replacing references to Homebrew from late July. As evidence of Homebrew's authorship was being erased and obscured, no additional acknowledgement was added to credit Homebrew for having created and maintained Portable Ruby since 2016.
A paragraph later the author writes
> In fairness to Andre, the rv-ruby repo continues to retain a copy of Homebrew's LICENSE.txt which names "Homebrew contributors" as the copyright holder. Andre also later added an explicit acknowledgement to the README, but that attribution came more than a month later, and (I'm told) only after he was directly asked to credit the original project.
"In fairness" my ass. How can the author leverage a claim of authorship being erased, when the license is sitting there, untouched, for over a year?
And when someone told Andre to credit the original project... He simply did? Seemingly without any issues. In what universe is this an example of "obscuring authorship"?
Of course, putting this section right after the section where Andre mistakingly accused google of copying code without perserving the original license, leads you to think Andre is a hypocrite, when in fact there were over 7 years between the two "events". The storytelling is doubly dishonest because as Andre kept the original license intact, rendering all implicit claims of hypocrisy void.
In short, this article is borderline defamation.
I started reading with an open mind, got a bit confused by the "dongle" joke, which the author doesn't remember but somehow it should be inappropriate. It's equivalent to saying "I think he said something bad 10 years ago but I'm bit really sure"
Then there's the part about "leverage control" to extort heroku, which was a blatant misrepresentation of events and shows a clear Agenda.
Not taking sides my ass. I can only conclude the author's reputation, as being ine of the nicest persons in the community, was earned through similar manipulation.
And since the entire article is a "take my word" type of story, the blatant bias already displayed casta a shadow of doubt over the veracity of any other claims it makes, leading me to conclude the opposite: André is actually a nice and likable person, and has good principles.
The Engine, Gecko, however, is hard to fork since it's tightly coupled to the browser itself.
I also think that when the parent mentioned "forking Gecko", it might be in the sense of extracting the engine and putting a new browser on top of it, just like other Webkit based browsers e.g. Orion and Gnome Web.
