For a state level attack, that wouldn't even help. They'd just use state level forged documents.

If your not Dijkstra then using title like that negatively affects people's perception of your post.

I don't use Kagi, but this post reads much more like a PR smear campaign than anything else.

Absolutely. Over the years countless projects have missed contributions from me because of a bad README.

> an athletic commission is responsible for refereeing

This sounds a bit like a distancing attempt.

Surely those referees follow the rules of UFC. So ultimately UFC is responsible no matter which entity enforces the rules.

  my script will never:
  - go down
  - require an upgrade
  - force me to migrate
  - surprise me
  - keep me up at night

Oh my sweet summer child.

I think "theft" closer describes this rather than "demonetization"

I have a reasonably wast library of technical/scientific epubs/documents. Could I use this to import them and the quiz the books?

Thanks, I was looking for this. The wobble is so distracting that I couldn't even check try this out.

> this is massive overkill

Then just create a few aliases for yourself and forget the rest.

People think that git is complex. It is.

The task it's accomplishing is insanely complicated.

New comment by logro in "Infrastructure as code is not the answer (2022)"

With the same logic you can say that contraceptives are not the answer because they aren't 100% effective.

Of cause IAC is mis-sold like anything new. It's not the end of all your problems. But as someone who's had to deal with the opposite too, infrastructure-as-a-weird-mystery-that-accidentally-happened-over-20-years-and-only-long-bearded-john-knows, IAC is fantastic.

This is 100% malicious or novice coder. And we surely know it's not the latter.

If you need an unsafe call, you add a dict_put_unsafe(). That again should of course be rejected in a code review.

Had anyone tried to grow their own saffron? How did it go?

Those two topic don't have much in common, trusting a state level hacker actor vs. trusting people in general.

Trusting anything from that actor is full on ignorant, let alone "a new decoder". It's insane.

I didn't even know Google Podcasts was a thing.

How times have changed. I used to get excited about all Google products but now I generally see them all as toxic.

I occasionally use that feature. But absolutely every single time is by mistake and it has negative effects on my mood. Still love Firefox though.
