I'm sure you understand the dystopian irony of your last sentence, but I thought I'd highlight it anyway. That's some "no fighting in the war-room" level commentary on the state of the USA.
> Backups are _tested regularly_ now because LLMs make it cheap to do so.
sighs heavily in 90's sysadmin
Testing backups is not just a question of whether or not the restore command works. Go back and read the Tao of Backup: http://www.taobackup.com/history.html . The application itself (in its current version, with its current features) needs to work with the backed-up data, and the only way to verify this is to attempt to actually work with the data.
If you don't trust your agent to ship to production without manually reviewing the output (in some way), you have no business trusting your agent managing your backups. The agent writing some tests doesn't mean that the tests adequately handle all of your actual scenarios, let alone that your system will adequately handle data that is missing since the last backup.
really cool! I was finally able to decompile the keygenerator for one of my software. I lost the sources but I still have the keygen. It was a VB6 keygen. With AI and some of the decompiled code I was able to convert the algorithm to python. No more need to have windows to run a keygen.
Because sub modules have horrible UX for any other user of the repo. Trees just appear as files, but having the vendor origin registered allows updates - with filter even selectively.
Can you explain how women can both be allowed to have careers if they want while also not being "forced" into the workplace?
It just sounds like you want women to face extreme societal pressure to be mothers, and the few women that break out and have careers are going to be ostracised.
In modern, liberal, western society women are free to do whatever they want. If they want to get married at 25 and have 5 children there is nothing stopping them. If they want to go study neurobiology there is also nothing stopping them. The vast majority of women when given the choice, do not want to have 5 children at age 25. They want 1-3 children at age 32.
I’m a native Texan, and I can deign to go to Austin for a couple days even though I live in a much bigger city in Texas which has delicious food from far more countries than Austin does. Plenty of Texans, and plenty of room for people from everywhere.
I like that the saying cuts both ways: you can read it as dumb people seeing legit science as a conspiracy, or that dumb people mostly believe conspiracy theories because they’re picking at random and there’s one truth but thousands of made-up explanations.
A problem there is needing to temporarily delete the entire domain just to update the zone. I don't manage the DNS for anything remotely critical, but the zonefile workflow nevertheless felt deeply incorrect (though I suppose it's assumed most users will use the UI or the API; I use DNSControl for most domains).
Logging back into deSEC right now, it seems like the parser does work better than it used to, but TTL inheritance is still spotty. As an extreme example, the following input:
@ 7777 IN SOA x. x. 1 9999 9999 9999 9999
A 203.0.113.1
4444 AAAA 2001:db8::1
www A 203.0.113.1
... correctly gets parsed by BIND (with the addition of a dummy NS record) as:
@ 7777 IN A 203.0.113.1
@ 4444 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1
www 4444 IN A 203.0.113.1
... but deSEC parses:
@ 9999 IN A 203.0.113.1
@ 4444 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1
www 9999 IN A 203.0.113.1
... where 9999 is a $TTL value from another zone file for a different domain that I'd imported before in a different session, and which seems to have gotten stuck to the account.
Would you mind spelling them out? Because all I find hovers between old fashioned reactionism and bat shit craziness. What is the philosophical value in that?
Their logistics were a bit weird: they asked not to post spoilers, but also ask you to link to your write-up.
In any case, I had it all worked out already. But looking at other people's submissions today showed me that I found some easter eggs other hadn't. That was encouraging. (And I missed some that others found, of course.)
Lots of good general soldering tips here. If the DualShock 4 PCB is half as complex as the DualSense PCB, good chance you scratched a trace whole removing the sticks. If you can locate the damaged area you can jump it with a bodge wire (think of it like a wood bridge that broke in the middle so you can't walk across, and you make a small path with planks enough for one person to still cross, restoring the connection). Also make sure you didn't introduce a GND short, you may need to cut a trace in 1 or 2 spots in addition to jumping the damaged area if you did. I had a hell of a time getting out the first analog stick on a DualSense and ended up damaging the PCB. A multimeter in continuity mode is a must here for checking that the signal travels the expected path or finding the issue if it doesn't. It is most likely fixable, it was in my case, though it may take you a few days of troubleshooting. Also I would recommend a desoldering gun if you're going to do this a lot, analog sticks are very difficult to remove with just an iron. Often just the tiniest bit of solder clings to the pins in the holes and it won't budge. A hot air station could also work, but these have a tendency to melt all surrounding plastic before the solder and IMO are a last resort.
Look at the traces that go to the stick or that are near that area, look for scratches.
I don’t know much about this except that I know perfectly normal or even jacked men with lower than expected testosterone. I suspect messing with hormones based on the results of a test and no actual problems can unnecessarily alter mood.
So my theory—based mostly on conjecture—is that these tests selected people they didn’t expect and the treatments would do more harm than good.

I can kind of see it, but hetzner costs, what, 5€/m for your own server with 10TB traffic included? How is a 4€/m markup remotely justified for what amounts to setting up an apache server and pointing a domain at it? And cutting traffic to a twentieth?
Have you ever worked directly with customers? Even those paying huge amounts of money for custom software usually don't know what they really need. They usually know their problems, but even then it can still require a lot of exploration to get to the core of it all, and then design an appropriate solution; not to mention having a good awareness of how software actually intersects with real life rather than how a non-technical customer imagines it does.
I know we're getting closer to robots that can do all that but I don't believe we're there yet.
Does anyone even review these blog posts before they get published? If nobody in the company can be bothered to review it, I don't know why they expect anyone to persevere with the AIphorisms
> Guess this will change after the next e.g. nationwide hospital ransomware by a hacker who publicly laments bounty rates, if the news cycle accommodates the story long enough.
Negotiating with terrorists or black mailers is a bad idea.

Last I was on the platform, they eventually added a tab for only chronological posts on the timeline a-la how IG used to work. But they gave no exposure to it, _and_ it completely hid the IG stories of your friends so nobody would want to use it in the first place.
But almost invariably in this context they mean "the continent" ie France, Spain, Italy and so on, probably not Scandi and not Ireland. So that's more like how people would say they're going "to the UK" when actually they're travelling to like the Isle of Man or even sometimes Jersey which are not in the UK but like sure, people who speak English live there, if some lunatics attacked them the military forces would work for the UK, and in Man's case it even makes geographical sense (Jersey is basically in France, it isn't French for historical reasons) but these places are not part of the United Kingdom any more than Canada or Australia. Same King, different government.
