I’ve heard that Let’s Encrypt recently started issuing certificates for IP addresses. I’m unable to find the article at the moment though.
Having to maintain large states is key. I’ve learned recently that this is why I keep starting so many new projects instead of finishing things. The larger a project becomes, the larger the states I have to hold in my head and the fewer opportunities I have to rebuild and maintain that state. So if I want to do some coding, the only option available is usually to start something new with a blank slate.
Sometimes, rich people like to cosplay being poor and unimportant.


How many bits is a /s mask?


Sometimes it’s so they can sell the “cheats” to you as microtransactions instead.


Ah, so a trans pose.
Nice.


Same. I keep thinking back to my time TAing for an intro programming course and getting students who just add random braces until their code compiles. That’s me right now with Rust pointers.
As a developer? You’re not going to get very far if you refuse to write websites for the world’s current most popular browser.
Having come from the world of C++, this was a huge step up.


It wins in the sense that you still have access to the software and code, and you have the option to either hire someone new to maintain it or switch to something else. Closed source proprietary software only leaves you with the latter choice.


An important component of the cost to consider is how long we expect a company to support a piece of software, and how much it would cost to migrate everything when they drop support. FOSS wins in this regard, especially if you can get a support contact with the devs.
If no one can make sense of the change, then you reject it. Makes no difference if it was generated with an LLM or copy-pasted from Stackoverflow.
Or, make it fade more and more for each “unique” visitor. Make sure it hits after they start their marketing campaign.


Reminds me of this story of the wifi that only worked when it rained
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.


This needs to have multiple levels of “openness” to distinguish between having access to the code, the dataset, a documented training procedure, and the final weights. I wouldn’t consider it fully open unless these are all available, but I still appreciate getting something over nothing, and I think that should be encouraged.
Implying perfect code exists anywhere.
It’s also trivially easy to tell if you’re presenting someone else’s work as your own. In an interview, you ask about their projects. Those would be very easy (and often fun) for the actual creator to answer, and not for anyone else.

I didn’t ask you about this. Why waste time telling me about it?
