I was saying online in Aug 2024, right after the SCOTUS ruled that sitting Presidents were immune for all 'official acts', that the Democrats should have convinced Biden to immediately remove all sitting SCOTUS judges which the previous GOP admins had installed, all GOP-installed state SC judges, GOP-installed FBI, IRS staff, etc., impose maximum age and term limits for all judges, and explicitly limit the powers of all future Presidents and close as many loopholes everywhere as possible. I mean, what could they really do? They'd just handed all sitting Presidents including Biden that power, he'd be immune! Or they'd have their bluff called and have reversed their decision right there and then.
But of course the two parties are really not opposing, the Dems are just Controlled Opposition so they wouldn't dare actually fix things when they had the chance.
Now, everyone in the US (and the rest of the World, indirectly) is pretty much f*cked. I hope everyone in the GOP, their rich asshole billionaire string-pullers and the Dems who were all complicit, all rot.
Having worked on IPsec many years ago, I became convinced it could never be fully secure due to its sheer complexity, either intentionally (hi, NSA!) or merely due to design-by-committee. Just don't use it, please. SSH tunnels or openVPN are preferable.
Once they discovered the drug-like quick rush of having LLMs spit out code that might work, might look plausible, but might eat your dog ... the VCs realized they might be able to get the world hooked on it.
Big corps always wave away debt if they can pay it off via revenue, or future promises of revenue, or ... reasons. Why is it different here? Honest question. They have more cash on hand, it seems, than their current debt, so could pay that at any time. Why is it a true liability?
Nice ad hominim BTW. I'm neither stoned nor a teenager, and make no pretense to be some financial guru.
The proposal does not sound like a "terribly good offer" as it would saddle eBay with GameStop's debt, said retail industry analyst Sucharita Kodali from market research firm Forrester.
Uh... Gamestop has , depending on who one asks, no debt, or some sort of convertible thing to do with their warrant issuing last year. This article seems mis-informed. It's an ambitious gambit, but would certainly not saddle E-Bay with any significant new debt.
Coming from C (with MISRA and flexelint) I also thought this idiom was a bit 'ick' in Go.. but I guess they feel a return in an if-block makes the else redundant.
I was taught (again, in C/C++) that one should strive for single return points in functions, so actually either of these forms bug me to some extent.
In Go one can name the return variable(s) in the func declaration line, eg.
func example(foo string) (e error) {
/* e is implicitly nil so far */
if bar, e := doSomething(foo); e != nil {
/* e was set above to non-nil */
} else {
doSomethingElse(bar)
}
return e /* or just 'return' */
}
In array languages (APL -- the Dyalog variant -- not classic APL/2, BQN, J, ...) there's been a trend towards 'tacit' aka 'point-free' syntax, where many ops are combined/composed to avoid the need for named variables.
Unpopular opinion time: I don't like it. As this article says, it's fine for short, simple chains but becomes inscrutable if overused.
Sort of a click-baity headline... if it had just said "iTerm2's SSH integration on MacOS is not safe", a user such as myself who doesn't use that particular terminal or OS wouldn't need to visit the article.
(Not blaming OP -- they just used the linked article's headline.)
It's what should've been done instead of IPv6 -- well, maybe it's a bit of a non-sequitur for the current problem, but it would create a different internet that maybe could be routed around the age-verified one if that comes to pass.
I posted an idea over here about a week ago, I think it might actually meet the legal requirements without any OS changes for Linux/BSD/POSIX UNIX type OSes.
..because it's not him doing it. He's mainly a figurehead, a useful idiot. It's the smart fascists around him and behind him. Peter Thiel, Roger Stone, Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, Mitch McConnell, etc. etc. and basically all the Christian Nationalists and White Supremacists who've been working for over 30-40 years to chip away at and infiltrate every US institution. It took a long time, but they worked patiently to reach the point where this was possible.
Good. This shows plainly how LLMs don't think, don't truly understand anything, and have no critical ability to do introspection or fact-checking. It seems the only way to teach the world of these things is to make it impossible to ignore via absurd demonstrations like this. If the "AI" well must be poisoned in order to wake people up, I'm all for it.
