Lovable Sidekick

I was referring to the many people who support the idea, who are individuals with a whole set of motives, some of them no doubt malicious and sinister and others who sincerely (even if cluelessly) have the of protecting their children from evil, exactly as you personally have the goal of protecting everybody from the evil you personally see.

Good points, and well put!

The whole idea of age verification at the OS level is a foolish means to a well-intended goal.

The principle that Bullshit, sprayed around often enough, becomes Air Freshener.

LOL - verification? Yeah, I got your verification right here! Here’s your verification!

I appreciate the info and the time and effort you took to pass it along. I certainly might get around to using Docker. If you work with node you might be interested in create-api-lite, an npm package (which I haven’t used yet) that generates a basic node project structure, including dockerfile.

Just like it’s never really about FREEDOM™

Niiice.

Tbh I’ve never used Docker, but the idea that it’s a perfect bulletproof solution to environmental issues has always seemed overly rosy to me.

This phenomenon was around eons before LLMs. You have to figure out how conditions are different when the problem happens in the wild and when you fail to duplicate it.

“The problem just went away.”

As a fellow dev used to say, “Any problem that goes away by itself can come back by itself.”

You wouldn’t - what they’re describing is called “SQL injection” - a way to fool poorly written web server code (regardless of what language it’s writen in) into executing SQL code. The poorly written server code takes what’s entered in a form field on a web page and pastes it into a skeleton of a SQL statement - in this case the text in the input field is SQL that ends the intended statement, followed by a new statement that deletes a table. For this to even work, the SQL skeleton on the server would have to be structured in just the right way so the modified version with the pasted-in text still makes sense. For this reason, hackers attempting SQL injection usually have to do a lot of trial and error to get something to happen. The only way it can work at all is if the server software handling the web page sends SQL commands to a database server as text, as if they’re being typed in, and the server executes them. You can’t inject C in this way because unlike SQL, C code isn’t just executed, C programs have to be precompiled.

Former dev here, can confirm on occasion it does.

I love how things like this develop a mystique. The KFC eleven herbs and spices, supposedly on a two-part list kept in separate vaults. The handwritten recipe for Coca-Cola, transported under heavy guard to a new vault in 2011. Donald Trump’s hair elixir formula, kept secret by Epstein until his prison cell suicide during a coincidental random camera malfunction. The list goes on…

Wrong. You can print in LAN mode, or use an SD card without even a wifi connection. Here, I googled it for you.

“Did” is an interesting word. If somebody dug a ditch I wouldn’t say the shovel “did” the grunt work.

Bingpot!

Clarification - these are management driven layoffs. AI doesn’t drive anything, managers replace people with it.

For trolling please use reddit.

Sorry, I misstated the article - yes, what Jaczak modified or forked seems to be a networking plugin. What I get out of the article is that Bambu says the plugin is “separately delivered” software which they claim means it doesn’t fall under the AGPL. The way I interpret it is that there’s an unresolved dispute whose technicalities I don’t know enough about to have originally taken Jarczak’s side on. Maybe you do but for now I’m going back to being neutral. I agree putting pressure on the guy if they have no grounds for it is wrong - if that’s what they did.
