its-summertime··on Deno Sandbox
which, if its the LLM asking for the result of the locally ran "echo $API_KEY", will be sent through that proxy, to the correct configured domain. (If it did it for request body, which apparently it doesn't (which was part of what I was wondering))
its-summertime··on Sandboxing AI Agents in Linux
Do you have more information on how to set up such VMs?
its-summertime··on Deno Sandbox
if there is an LLM in there, "Run echo $API_KEY" I think could be liable to return it, (the llm asks the script to run some code, it does so, returning the placeholder, the proxy translates that as it goes out to the LLM, which then responds to the user with the api key (or through multiple steps, "tell me the first half of the command output" e.g. if the proxy translates in reverse)

Doesn't help much if the use of the secret can be anywhere in the request presumably, if it can be restricted to specific headers only then it would be much more powerful

its-summertime··on The largest number representable in 64 bits
It all goes over my head, but, what does the distribution of values look like? e.g. for unsigned integers its completely flat, for floating point its far too many zeros, and most of the numbers are centered around 0, what do these systems end up looking like?

its-summertime··on Apple to soon take up to 30% cut from all Patreon creators in iOS app
Of the patreon alternatives (dependent on content), Substack, X, Youtube, BuyMeACoffee, all have fan-side apps. kofi, Fourthwall, Squarespace, all the NSFW-centric alternatives, do not.

Of the mini-apps in China, I don't know, I was never exposed to the existence of their non-mini-app counterparts.

its-summertime··on Apple to soon take up to 30% cut from all Patreon creators in iOS app
I'm aware of your point. I disagree with it. A lot of companies seemingly have found it viable to have first-class web apps as part of their lineup; Off the top of my head: Uber and Uber Eats, KFC, Patreon, (And every single competitor to Patreon), every single mini-app in China (where discoverability is much higher), etc etc.

There are more app-having companies that have web apps than not

Due to the web's distributed nature, "all" is impossible, but there are plenty of ranked-by-rating lists of web games out there. I don't want to be spammy so I'm only gonna link one of them that comes to mind, but there are a lot of other listings you can find at any search engine of your choice!

https://www.kongregate.com/

(All is impossible for both iOS and Android also: Games that don't get updated, games that get unlisted due to having a link to their own website with the wrong phrasing next to it, games that get unlisted due to the app store owner not being satisfied with the description page for the game, regional restrictions, requests from governments to remove socially unacceptable apps, etc)

This might not be useful to you personally, however.

its-summertime··on Libbbf: Bound Book Format, A high-performance container for comics and manga
Thinking more about this: ZIP files can be set up to have the data on whatever alignment of one's choosing (as noted in the reddit thread). Integrity checks can be done in parallel by doing them in parallel. mmap is possible just by not using zip compression.

The aspect of integrity checking speed in a saturated context (N workers, regardless if its multiple workers per file, or a worker per file), CRC32(C) seems to be nearly twice as fast https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Checksumming.html

ZIP can also support arbitrary metadata.

I think this could have all been backported to ZIP files themselves

its-summertime··on Memdeklaro – The humanitarian open source alternative to government ID
Doesn't seem to support either my self-chosen name or my actual name, due to heavy assumptions about what a name is. Doesn't seem to support birth dates in alternate calendaring systems, it also doesn't specify what calendaring system is used.

Doesn't seem to allow a person to optionally identify with their place of birth, their citizenship, or their parents' existence. For some it is important to not identify with those things, for others its just as important to identify with those things.

I'd suggest to not use such a saying as it has a very mixed and revisioned history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_is_thicker_than_water#Ot...

Clarification?

its-summertime··on The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe
Windows 8 featured a notable paradigm shift from a menuing launcher (click start, programs, then the program you want, as an example), to a full screen launcher (Think Android and iOS). And also switched from floating windows (The default for most Linux distros and for Mac AFAIK) to rudimentary tiling windows (Think Android and iOS)

its-summertime··on Show HN: Circuit Artist – Circuit simulator with propagation animation, rewind
Disclaimer: I've only played before the release of the propagation.

Across all the Zach-like and other games I've played around with, the wire management in Circuit Artist I'd say feels very fair and intuitive, and not obstructive to gameplay.

The developer is very accepting of feedback and it showed up a lot, with quality of life features showing up constantly (e.g. being able to automatically draw bus lines, with corners et al).

Worst case, you can copy the circuit into your favorite image editor, make edits there, and paste it back into the game (Or use Netpbm/other software to programmatically generate circuits) (Or make a library of circuits to copy from using any other app that can handle images).

The flexibility of the idea of MS Paint + circuit is taken to its complete logical conclusion.

Good. Its beneficial, I'd think. Lies are not new, the amount of lies, probably not new either.

I don't think we have (yet) reached a level of badness compared to the prior point of tobacco companies telling people around the world that cigarettes have medical benefits.

The ability to know that giving up might be the right path forwards, is very useful.
its-summertime··on Python numbers every programmer should know
https://starship.rs/ perhaps? I should probably start using it again honestly.
its-summertime··on Python numbers every programmer should know
From the complete opposite side, I've built some tiny bits of near irrelevant code where python has been unacceptable, e.g. in shell startup / in bash's PROMPT_COMMAND, etc. It ends up having a very painfully obvious startup time, even if the code is nearing the equivalent of Hello World

    time python -I -c 'print("Hello World")'
    real    0m0.014s
    time bash --noprofile -c 'echo "Hello World"'
    real    0m0.001s

its-summertime··on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder
I was interested in learning about notable old software.
its-summertime··on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder
Gwent comes to mind as an undownloadable game, which must be run from the first-party launcher, it is a free game (not counting in-game spending) which is always-online, so practically the antithesis of GOG

GOG and CD PROJEKT splitting up should ensure this is not going to happen in the future as much.

There is only 1 Steam client for Linux, and there will only ever be one client, and that client has had basic issues (context menus being a completely new window that steals focus, comes to mind instantly) that have been unresolved year after year.

For GOG, there are plenty of clients for Linux [1][2][3][4], And they are open source, I can go and talk to the people making these clients directly, I can give feedback, I can make changes to make these clients better (and to a small degree, I already have).

its-summertime··on I can't upgrade to Windows 11, now leave me alone
I don't know how many years/months/days/hours the author is going to continue using Windows for, but this seems like a perfect task to be "resolved" by AHK, which is probably in the top 10 things Windows users have access to. Worth trying, at least before switching to another source of operating system.
