edit: works better when used together with StackOverflow.comment.enabled = false;

A lot of people call set -euo pipefail the “strict mode” for bash programming, as a reference to "use strict"; in JavaScript.

In other words, always add this if you want to stay sane unless you’re a shellcheck user.

An app that will save the world…and other fantasies that software developers tell themselves to feel important

People who use the same spice for every dish.

Specifically for the rate limit issue, a lot of nix’s derivations are hosted on GitHub and now and then the rate limit problem comes up when I rebuilds a dev environment.

Nixos.org is kind enough to host gigabytes of cache, but to get a ~40MiB tarball, we need to beg at the door of M$. Path dependency is really a trap.

From the article:

People attempted to solve the puzzle because they were instructed to, while ants were motivated to carry the load to the third chamber (which was open toward the nest) since the load was made to resemble food.

Reading through the source code, it’s more of a repackaging of other open source libraries, probably for its AI effort.

God damn it Jimmy. I knew it was 1216, one after Magna Carta.

It’s more of a math meme: Cartan Subalgebra.

Reminds me of a hilarious bug in early GHC: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/163

The compiler will delete your source file if there’s any compile error. And the user complained only by sending a very polite email to report this bug. Simon Peyton Jones mentioned it in one of his talks and I still find it quite hilarious till this day.

The turd is crunchy.

PKD has a novel in the same vein: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Indefatigable_Frog

Left arm tattoo: do you worst. Problem solved.

0 * 1.25 = 0, so why not?

“You don’t need to follow anybody! You are all individuals! You are all different!”

In theory, methods like nightshades are supposed to poison the work such that AI systems trained on them will have their performance degraded significantly.

Encouraging. However, there seems to be a question missing in the discussion: why aren’t more people taking the reduced hour offerings?

According to the report itself, after the first stage of trial, 86% of the working population started to negotiate for reduced hours, of the people surveyed, 51% were offered reduced hours and only 14% took them. It’s an unprecedented large proportion, but still less than one would expect given the benefits. There are other factors preventing people to do so. I hope there will be a follow-up research to find out why.

Linux Foundation (of which Linus is an employee) is an US entity. RISC-V International foresaw this and chose to incorporate in Switzerland.
