  • Weil die eingebaute Taschenrechner-App bei Android an's Unbenutzbare grenzt. Wer ist auf die Idee gekommen, dass man in dem Textfeld nicht einfach seinen Cursor irgendwo reinsetzen und editieren kann? Da habe ich einen vollwertigen Computer in meiner Hosentasche, aber die App hat trotzdem die Limitierungen eines physikalischen Taschenrechners. (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻

  • In this case, it's about vulnerability reports, not about vulnerable code being contributed. There's a bounty for any found vulberability in Curl, and then because telling an AI to try to find a vulnerability is essentially free, you'll have lots of people looking to make a quick buck by just reporting whatever the AI spat out, no matter how nonsensical it is.

  • Damn, those pipes look useful. Can use them to send stdout from one command to the stdin of another, as you'd expect. But you can also easily send stuff to stdin from Rust code (and of course, easily read from stdout and stderr, too): https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/io/fn.pipe.html#examples

  • I guess, kinda? In my head, a Verein is definitely more of a hobby/socialising thing, but I do have to say that "club" certainly doesn't feel impactful enough. Like, Germany as a whole would fall apart, if you took the Vereine away.

    For example, the Red Cross is an e.V. here. There's e.V.s that support the local voluntary firefighters (although those are also organized by the municipality). We've got big-ass nature preservation e.V.s that do really important work in suing awful corporations. Local sports organizations and orchestras and whatnot are also organized as e.V.s. And perhaps the most relevant in this community is the KDE e.V., which helps organize/assist the wider KDE community.

    So, yeah, some of them definitely do work that one might expect from a charity...

  • It's easy to set up a cache, but what's hard is convincing your devs to use it.

    Mainly because, well, it generally works without configuring the cache in your build pipeline, as you'll almost always need some solution for accessing the internet anyways.

    But there's other reasons, too. You need authentication or a VPN for accessing a cache like that. Authentications means you have to deal with credentials, which is a pain. VPN means it's likely slower than downloading directly from the internet, at least while you're working from home.

    Well, and it's also just yet another moving part in your build pipeline. If that cache is ever down or broken or inaccessible from certain build infrastructure, chances are it will get removed from affected build pipelines and those devs are unlikely to come back.


    Having said that, of course, GitHub is promoting caches quite heavily here. This might make it actually worth using for the individual devs.

  • I also remember there being a tiny shitstorm when Google started proxying package manager requests through their own servers, maybe two years ago or so. I don't know what happened with that, though, or if it's actually relevant here...

  • For Rust, as I understand, crates.io hosts a copy of the source code. It is possible to specify a Git repository directly as a dependency, but apparently, you cannot do that if you publish to crates.io.

    So, it will cause pain for some devs, but the ecosystem at large shouldn't implode.

  • It's gonna be problematic in particular for organisations with larger offices. If you've got hundreds of devs/sysadmins under the same public IP address, those 60 requests/hour are shared between them.

    Basically, I expect unauthenticated pulls to not anymore be possible at my day job, which means repos hosted on GitHub become a pain.

  • But are there many scenarios where you don't already need that anyways, just for writing out the digits of a number in the given base?

    I mean, I can imagine a scenario where you might talk about base 420 on a theoretical level, without explicitly counting up until 418, 419, 420 (as e.g. Ϡ, Ϣ, 10). But honestly, you could even still refer to that as "Base 419" and it would still be fairly obvious what you mean, since you are using multiple digits rather than just one. I guess, you could also write it as "Base 4199" (so with a subscript 9 to represent what we normally call "Base 10"), if you want to be precise about it.

  • Interesting thought, yeah, but this method isn't going to be viable for mass production, possibly ever.

    They produced 89000 nuclei per second.
    1 gold atom weighs about 196.96657 u.
    1 u is 1.66053906892 * 10−27 kg.

    Therefore, we can calculate how much gold they'd produce in a year:
    196.96657 u/atom * 1.66053906892*10−27 kg/u * 89 000 atoms/second * 60 seconds/minute * 60 minutes/hour * 24 hours/day * 365 days/year = 917.9905991879 * 10-15 kg/year

    That's still basically nothing. If they ran these streams continuously for a billion years, that's when we'd get close to producing 1 gram.

    And it won't really start scaling much either, since you'll always need to accelerate a proportional amount of lead to near-light-speed, no matter what you produce with this method. But yeah, maybe we'll find a different method at some point.

  • You have to think of them more like a club rather than a non-profit company. Their legal form "eingetragener Verein" does mean "registered club".

    Basically, here in Germany, you can register a non-profit club and then you get exempt from taxes. And folks who donate to your club can also get that donation exempt from their taxes.

  • Other way around, Cursor and Windsurf have forks from VSCode into which they integrate their own AIs.

    Microsoft recently made the news, because they're making more VSCode/-ium plugins proprietary, which they do to extinguish these forks.

  • I like to use Kate. It doesn't have the plethora of plugins, but it uses a fraction of the resources and has comparable built-in features.

    If you want something more feature-rich with a plethora of plugins, then the IntelliJ Community Edition is under Apache-2.0. Still the corporate kind of open-source, but from a less immoral corporation.

  • You got any bell peppers on hand?

    I do think the tomatoes could work, too. Maybe kind of caprese-style as a side, so with balsamico vinegar and tofu. If that vegan feta isn't too strong, it could also work instead of the tofu.

    I could also imagine going all-in on veggies, so bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, maybe some salad, all mixed together with a bit of vinegar and maybe caraway, and then you can losely mix that into the quinoa. Some chickpeas or beans would also work with that, in terms of protein.

  • Hatte auch bis vor kurzem starke Fatigue und Schmerzen, was jetzt aber wohl auf eine Weizenunverträglichkeit zurückzuführen ist.
    Und ja, hatte dann auch so Hobbies verstärkt betrieben, die eben im Bett oder zumindest zu Hause funktionieren, insbesondere Komponieren, Programmieren und Kochen.

    Ist dann auch immer ein bisschen komisch, wenn man Rückfragen bekommt, wie man so viel Zeit für die Sachen findet oder wie man so gut darin wurde.
    Die Antwort ist dann eben, dass es Monate oder manchmal auch Jahre dauert, bis ich mal so Kleinigkeiten wie Klamotten einkaufen erledigt bekomme. Dass ich quasi keine sozialen Kontakte habe, weil mal was unternehmen oder abends weggehen absolut nicht drin war.

    Man macht dann gezwungenermaßen nur die Sachen. Damit wollt ihr nicht tauschen. Kann man den Leuten nur leider auch nicht so klar sagen, sonst kriegt man von da an nur noch Mitleid zu hören.
