Sheesh, it’s 5 GB with pnpm. Isn’t that meant to deduplicate dependencies?

Anywho, it looks like --prod isn’t being set in the Dockerfile, so dev dependencies are being included. I’m no node dev, but I remember this being something that people needed to set to shrink node_modules with npm. That might be an easy win.

Yeah, plus it has type hints and tooling to make said type hints mandatory.

Also, like, fuck golang, it’s such a shit language and the compiler does very little to protect you. I’d say that mypy does a better job of giving you AOT protection.

I seem to recall hearing speculation that the person behind this had their AUR packages deleted because they were posting malware. I’ve only heard this second-hand so it could be complete bullshit, but it seems plausible given some of the fucking adult babies we have out in the world.

Steak is safe to consume at lower temperatures. The interior of the meat is mostly free from bacteria, so while you still need to cook it, it’s not as important. 120f internal becomes 130ish internal after resting as the heat on the outside migrates in, which results in a perfect medium-rare piece of beef.

Do NOT do this with hamburger, however. Grinding beef up mixes all the bacteria on the surface into the inside so you’ve gotta cook that shit to 165 °F.

After reading the linked page, it appears that at least some of the security issues are addressed:

Applications will be isolated from each other by default and can only interact with other applications either through a GUI prompt asking for permission, such as with screen recorders, where it will only be allowed to record the window specified or by explicitly giving the application permission before launched (such as a window manager or external compositor).

I’ll probably continue to push forward with Wayland, but I suppose I’m pleased that someone is taking a crack at trying to improve X11. The author also mentions potentially using this as a lightweight and safe replacement for xwayland.

Childhood trauma is horrible, I’m sorry ): you deserved a safe home, and it’s tragic you felt so scared that you had to call the cops.

It annoys me when people don’t at least try to explain the advantages of language features. Like, there are some real advantages to writing “pythonic” Python, but if someone doesn’t know then it’s better to tell them why this other way rocks and is fucking cool and also happens to be considered best practice.

Also, sometimes you just have to do things in a non-pythonic way. PEP 8 literally says that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, which the pythonic nuts should hold as gospel.

I was also curious, so I looked it up. This was the motivation for developing kiot:

I have a script lower my blinds if I turn on the camera during the afternoon as otherwise there’s an annoying glare. My office lights and monitor both have a redder hue at night, but disabling night-mode on my PC automatically disables the main light performing redshift too. I want my screen to turn off not 10 minutes after activity, which is simultaneously both annoyingly too long and too short, but the moment the motion sensor in my room says I’ve left.

It lets you control various light/sound aspects of your computer via HA. Here’s what it lets you control.

I seem to recall hearing that there were genetic/epigenetic components that predispose some folks to those personality disorders. I’m not disagreeing with you and I don’t know if the research I saw was corroborated. I just think it’s an interesting idea that you’re not born with NPD, but you can be more vulnerable to developing it.

I’m surprised the comments aren’t worse over there. The Phoronix comments section shares a striking resemblance to YouTube, but I had to go like 2-3 pages in before the chuds really started rolling in.

Oh my god, they finally quit it with the constant giveaways? I could not stand those and completely stopped watching the channel.

What the fuck

Smashing that unsubscribe button now. Like, fucking ew dude, don’t fucking open carry at Costco you numpty fuck. Ugh…

Yeah, the Dark Tower series was a big ol’ DNF for me. I just wasn’t really able to get invested in anything. I stopped at the part with the train.

I think a good doctor would provide this explanation to the patient. Be like “Okay, let’s get you fixed up! The medications and techniques we use change if you’re pregnant, so can you tell me when your last period is?” Only takes a second. Doctors should be aware that women often feel ignored and mistreated in a medical context (given the body of literature and studies demonstrating such), so like, they should work to correct that issue. It shouldn’t be difficult to do. It just requires a wee little bit of empathy.

Most of my open terminals are using 9 MiB, although one is using 17.

Senior dev doing devops shit here, this comment is so fucking real. The C levels zooted out of their fucking gourds on AI jenkem don’t get how fucking ass LLMs can be.

It’s just faster and smoother when scrolling text, and all the work of shifting those pixels is pushed off onto specialized hardware that’s much more efficient at it. I use alacritty which is a different GPU-accelerated terminal emulator and I’m very fond of it. It’s not a huge deal, I just figure that if I have the hardware, I might as well use it.

Arch is a pretty good one if you want to control and tinker. I have personally found it to be very reliable over the years, and the AUR is exceptionally powerful (although you NEED to review your PKGBUILDs, there’s nothing stopping someone from putting malware on the AUR again). The packaging format is so simple and easy that I actually build a few performance-critical packages locally so I can tweak compiler flags (gimmie that -march native).

Nix is cool and kinda crazy, but honestly? I’d hold off until you’re comfortable with Arch. Same with Gentoo.

Yep, this is why we use GPL! Using a permissive license is like lending money to a friend—you should never, ever expect to get your money back. “Good” companies aren’t altruistic, they’re ruthlessly self-interested. They’re not going to give back to your project unless there’s a damn good reason for them to do so. There are times when permissive licenses are totally fine (like when writing some kinds of libraries), but if you care about freedom of an application then you should stay the fuck away from MIT, Apache, BSD, or any other permissive license. Just use the GPL, folks.

edit: Using GPL from the getgo would have prevented this atrocity from occurring: https://github.com/coredevices/libpebble3/commit/35853d45cd0ec51cb732be866f6f72467653a613

They couldn’t have relicensed the project without community approval if it had been using a copyleft license in the first place.

Also, fuck off with your fucking AGPL license with a copyright transfer CLA bullshit. I’d love to see a new version of the AGPL that expressly prohibits copyright transfers. Never let a company take your rights away from you. A copyright license makes even the GPL effectively meaningless if the company wants to rug pull at a later date.

Yeah, that’s a “block and move on with your day” sort of account for sure.
