Ruby guys have made an attempt to introduce type system few years ago, but they found it nearly impossible to infer types from metaprogrammed code - which makes sense. So they came with the suggestion that you write types for dynamically generated methods yourself. Comeon!

With rails you'd always have to pay for absence of strict types with extensive testing where you'd basically have to verify that data structures match.

I don't buy it anymore

Every few years someone discovers FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED and represents it. I remember it lasting for 15 years at least

cloudflare captcha can be easily passed with browser extension, not much different from the suggested bypass

Nah, homebrew made apple guys believe they get pretty much everything Linux has. Who would expect an exception?

You wouldn't know unless running crate install.

I use lsof -i a lot on Mac, its not that I'm criticizing, but mostly disappointed.

Cause it's obviously a Rust crate, you would kinda hope that it might compile at MacOs. In 99% of cases that works.

Think it should be explicitly stated that it is not available on Mac OS as procfs does not support it

AI is great for hit'n'go, but in the long run it brought us more trouble than help. It gets very inconsistent, does not track the context (especially if it is a common-sense context), brings in some weird architectural patterns by default, avoids updating current components preferring to write new almost exactly the same ones alongside with similar existing ones, e.t.c, e.t.c.

It's definitely a great tool to quickly bootstrap something, but I find myself thinking "I should have better done that myself" more and more.

Yep, this guy also delivered this nonsense when working as a president advisor. Since then I am genuinely surprised when someone brings ukrainian official statements on the table. Like, really guys?

Ukrainian Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council is definitely some local city madman

Pretty much yes. Basically FSB can perform MITM attacks any time they want, but it still requires an order.

It does not help a lot with end-to-end encryption though

Ukraine actually has inherited 19 TU-160s from USSR. 8 of which were transfered to Russia as a payment for natural gas, and 11 were disassembled.

Oh it’s already implemented since 2000, with SORM system. Think they are to extend it to give direct FSB access without pre-request starting from 1st of september
