<p>Seems very promising but then you realize the LLM behind said agent was trained on public but otherwise copyright encumbered proprietary code available as improperly redistributed SDKs and DDKs, as well as source code leaks and friends.<p>In fact most Windows binaries have public debug symbols available which makes SRE not exactly a hurdle and an agent-driven SRE not exactly a tabula rasa reimplementation.</p>

<p>Nice although I think the ASCII comma <i>feels</i> wrong as part of a filename even if for purely aesthetic reasons.<p>If we want to stay within (lowercase) alphabetic Latin characters I think prefixing with the least common letters or bigrams that start a word (x, q, y, z, j) is best.<p>`y' for instance only autocompletes to `yes' and `ypdomainname' on my path.<p>Choosing a unique bigram is actually quite easy and a fun exercise.<p>And we can always use uppercase Latin letters since commands very rarely use never mind start with those.</p>

<p>Thanks for all impressive work on AdGuard.<p>Any particular reason to adopt Rust for this project instead of Go as many of your other products?<p>Because I think since you have quite extensive Go codebase I would imagine you had to rewrite possibly a significant amount of code.</p>

<p>Debian testing is about as stable as it gets while also being a rolling distribution. The promotion of package updates from unstable to testing does not take that long either depending on the severity. I would venture a guess that there is more to it.</p>

<p>> over Debian/Ubuntu<p>And over Fedora/RHEL. If I had to guess, it could be that new entrants find it easier to submit changes to Arch Linux packages [1]. ChromeOS also steered away from Debian-based distributions, choosing a Gentoo base.<p>[1] <a href="https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages" rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages</a></p>

<p>Monotype does not have the same consolidation with CJK when compared to the virtual monopoly it has with Latin script typefaces.<p>They still have a healthy selection of competitive companies to choose from such as Morisawa, Iwata, Motoya, Ricoh, JIYUKOBO, DynaComware, Arphic, Sandoll...</p>

<p>Out of those, only Morisawa's BIZ UD, Sandoll's IBM Plex and Adobe's Noto families are of outstanding quality.<p>Motoya is also a reputable foundry. FONTDASU also, I guess. And Google's Zen.<p>But those are all text faces! The only display families are a few freebies from Fontworks which do not cover a lot of design range.<p>So, yes, hardly 2000.</p>

<p>Telefonica does this.<p>Until I switched, it would only peer with other Tier 1 providers 2000 mi away from my location, even though there is a large IX 5 mi from home co-located with a large regional ISP with several other networks and appliances connected to it.<p>I filed a complaint but it is impossible to escape the event horizon of the customer service black hole, and customer protection regulation agents fail to appreciate how clownish it is to have 100 ms ping to my university 5 mi away.<p>So I switched and recommended everyone within earshot to do so as well.<p>To this day I fail to understand the logic behind not peering locally.</p>

<p>> Typst has made some basic choices, which as someone who typsets a lot of math, makes it a no go.<p>For me, breaking from not just a 40-year-old history of mathematical typesetting but also from the <i>American Mathematical Society</i> recommendations is the dagger. Plus doubling work if you want to reuse what you wrote to render MathJax or KaTeX.<p>> $\alpha x$ is correct and $\alpha\beta$ is correct, but $\alphax$ is not.<p>Like you said, braces can be used so all of the following are valid: ${\alpha}x$, $\alpha{x}$ or the odd $\alpha{}x$.</p>
