If you think YouTube is paying for it, you’re not running a channel of your own at something like 0.001 per view.

Why can’t we have this kind of information as a document that we can read, rather than a video which requires a whole lot more infrastructure?

That depends on whom you trust, the ISP or the VPN.

For example, if you’re using your local coffee shop Wi-Fi, your ISP is the coffee shop, so you need to ask yourself, do you trust them, and everyone else on that network, more or less than the VPN?

I read all of it multiple times, before and after editing, and it’s clear to me that we’re failing to communicate.

Markdown and HTML are both examples of markup languages but that doesn’t mean that the words are interchangeable.

It is not possible under any circumstance to represent all that HTML supports within markdown.

Given that HTML supports significantly more formatting than markdown, it’s completely unsurprising that any conversion is imperfect, this is not a flaw in pandoc, it’s simply not possible.

I’ll also point out that I was suggesting that OP starts with markdown and converts that to a required output format using pandoc. The barrier to entry is significantly less than using LaTeX for example.

What are you talking about?

Write it in markdown, segment into separate files for different sections, use pandoc to generate the output.

That’s interesting. It does make me wonder … how does the Go community deal with malicious actors who “tweak” their “vendored” copy of a library, or am I missing something?

No worries, it’s 3am here right now 😁

I meant the users of your project.

This does appear to then break the chain of trust for the users of the project, since it then requires downstream to review even more code.

For example, if you’re an OSS user of three projects that each depend on library X, you now need to trust three copies of this library and make sure that they’re the same as the original.

This seems to be a solution that makes the problem bigger for everyone, not smaller.

So … using a dependency as a submodule?

I don’t understand the author’s description of forking vs. vendoring, the latter being a term I’ve never heard of.

Anyone got any links to something more descriptive?

On SOME ARM64 … but at least it’s a start.

What if it was supported on all hardware that Debian was supported on, that would be something worth getting excited about.

You’d need to ask the specific mods for each group or instance where you found this notice since there’s to my knowledge no such thing that’s implemented across the fediverse.

Whenever I see the word “OpenAI”, I substitute it with “my cat” and the world makes a little more sense.

For example:

‘Apple is getting this wrong,’ says my cat — startup blasts iPhone maker over lawsuit alleging it stole confidential information through ex-Apple employees

Also, AI with Assumed Intelligence and LLM with Unsupervised Text Extruders.

Around the turn of the century I built a “middleware” layer for an Oracle to MySQL bridge which enabled legacy systems to keep running while modern and open source tooling could be built.

The biggest challenge was moving from columnar to row based data … that and compiling Solaris tools using Oracle libraries.

Oracle is like sendmail, user friendly, just very picky whom it makes friends with.

I’m getting flashbacks to debugging an Oracle connection file.

Wow, smash bugs, be in the running for prizes, including a skateboard … might give that a pass.

there isn’t a big privacy issue as compared to the benefit in the health and safety and property of others.

So, now we’re measuring invasion of privacy based on “the health and safety and property of others”?

I strongly disagree with your assertion that “there isn’t a big privacy issue” here. From the top of my head:

1. Did the rental company advise the customer before they got into the car?
2. What other details were recorded?
3. What is the process to erase the data?
4. Who has access to it under which circumstances?
5. How long is it retained?
