  • Who wrote these regex? They are terrible:

    • We've got a capture-group for the numbers (the () means we're saving that part for later). Are we planning to do something with the mlg numbers? Why don't we care about the mmmberry numbers?
    • The capture is one or more numbers, but then it's an optional group. Write ([0-9]*) instead
    • We match mlg and mlg1 but not mlga because we anchor to the end ($). But not on mmmberry--that one will match "mmmberry5" (but we don't track the number!) but also "mmmberry_is_the_worst" so the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy because they share a prefix

    Maybe mlg has sock-puppet accounts mlg1, mlg2, but never MLG?

  • It's quite good for any problem that nobody cares about. For example, if you have a boss who wants hourly status-updates but does not actually read the updates. Or if you need to fill out security forms, but you were going to lie on all the forms and trust that nobody reads them. Or if you get a bonus for writing >100k lines of code, but the code doesn't need to do anything that people want. Or if you need to have someone answer customer-support questions, but it doesn't matter if the customers get helped or are happy.

  • Oh OK. Murdering rich people might effect social change. Though I'm skeptical because not a lot of people actually do it, which is an important component of that change.

    I think you still end up coming around in a circle: in your fantasy of mob-justice, what prevents the wealthy from ending up being the ones who control it? (Like Vlad the Impaler!)

  • The question itself self-answers with a little bit of thought: reading the typo as-is doesn't make sense and there's only one obvious correction, which SalmiakDragon provided. So I read their question as more conversation/chattiness rather than genuine confusion. I was replying in kind with an attempt to riff off of my typo: what if the typo was actually intended? Could we find any meaning to the phrase "attach women"? No, not really.

  • "Exactly as horrible" is unfair to you. But it sounds like you're advocating to give up on rule of law and just have the strongest most violent people be the ones to decide what's right. And I'd argue that you'd just get back to where we are right now: wealthy people would control the system, they'd employ strong violent people to enforce their personal whims as "law", and you'd be complaining that nobody is willing to beat up the pedophile (because his friends would hire goons to kill them).

    I mean, presumably that's what's stopping you personally from implementing your own recommendation, right? Because if you showed up and kicked this guy's ass you'd be beaten and arrested by the police.

  • It's interesting how the English language makes a phrase like "trans women are women" ambiguous about the number of women that each trans woman is... I always assumed "one" but you raise an interesting question.

  • Do you feel like you understand what "hacked" even means? If so: a phone is a little computer. If not... I donno. I guess you should give a bit more story about why you're interested in "hacking" and yet know so little about it? Something that makes it more interesting to reply.

    For basic questions, why wouldn't you start with Wikipedia, which is an excellent resource? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_hacking

  • Many on the cultural right are forgetting something critical: same-sex marriage doesn’t infringe upon anyone else’s rights. A crucial argument against gender ideology was the infringement on women’s rights. But unlike trans edge cases such as women’s sports or prisons, marriage isn’t a zero-sum issue. There isn’t a finite number of spots on the “marriage team.” My getting married takes nothing away from straight couples.

    It's too bad they're both too incurious to think for themselves and so media-illiterate that they haven't read The Handmaid's Tale... Obviously lesbian couples can be broken up and forced into miserable straight marriages and this is precisely what the right would want to do! (It's even part of the American past that MAGA wants to return to!)

    Also the "it wasn't a fear-based decision, I just rationally opposed all the forced child gender-transitions". It's not possible to roll ones eyes hard enough.

    I actually do have empathy for a TERF who'd say, "I uncritically chugged conservative media and become terrified of stories about men 'transitioning' as a way to attach women. Now I see that was all lies and I was a fool who never tried putting myself in others' shoes."

  • Peter Thiel has confidence that his own personal power will keep him safe. Since he's a sociopath, having homosexuality be illegal actually benefits him because if he gets tired of a relationship he can just out the other man and have them executed.

    It's not entirely clear to me whether history supports his confidence. But little no-name "activists" like the article author are always going to be destroyed.

  • It's so resilient, too. Like, I can see not examining things that Zuckerberg says because they don't sound idiotic on first glance. And the US is very much "more money = better than" so why not give extra weight to anything some rich guy says.

    But Musk and Trump say multiple obviously-stupid things every day, are visibly wrong all the time, and still get breathless treatment. "Wow, Elon Musk says he expects oil to go to $69/barrel by the end of the week! Does he know something others don't??"

  • There are automated checks which can help enforce correctness of the parts of the code that are being checked. For example, we could imagine a check that says "when I add a sprite to the list of assets, then the list of assets becomes one item longer than it was before". And if I wrote code that had a bug here, the automated check would catch it and show the problem without any humans needing to take the time.

    But since code can do whatever you write it to do, there's always human review needed. If I wrote code so that adding a sprite also sent a single message to my enemy's Minecraft server then it's not going to fail any tests or show up anywhere, but we need humans to look at the code and see that I'm trying to turn other developers into a DDoS engine.

    As others replied, you could choose to find and run someone's branch. This actually does happen with open-source projects: the original author disappears or abandons the project, other people want changes, and someone says "hey I have a copy of the project but with all those changes you want" and we all end up using that fork instead.

    But as a tool for evaluating code that'll get merged, it does not work. Imagine you want to check out the new bleeding-edge version of Godot. There's currently ~4700 possible bleeding-edge versions, so which one will you use? You can't do this organically.

    Most big projects do have something like beta releases. The humans decide what code changes to merge and they do all that and produce a new godot-beta. The people who want to test out the latest stuff use that and report problems which get fixed before they finally release the finished version to the public. But they could never just merge in random crap and then see if it was a good idea afterward.

  • Set your expectations: networking is complex and the configuration you're hoping for is particularly complex. It sounds to me like you're looking for a split-horizon configuration where local traffic stays local but internet traffic is routed over VPN. But also you want that configuration only for specific apps.

    It's not the *arr programs that are tricky, it's that any service you try to configure this way will be some of the hardest sysadmin work.

  • The turbo-hell part is that the spam comments aren't even being written for humans to see. The intention is that ChatGPT picks up the spam and incorporates it into its training.

    I worked at a company that sold to doctors and the marketing team was spending most of their effort on this kind of thing. They said that nowadays when doctors want to know "what should I buy to solve X?" or "which is better A or B?" they ask ChatGPT and take its answer as factual. They said that they were very successful in generating blog articles for OpenAI to train on so that our product would be the preferred answer.
