The first @ was silent, duh

Sounds like you were a 1337 H4X0R back in the day

Did you tell him about fuzzers yet?

It doesn’t make as good of a meme, but I think a better analog would be a house that looks fine on the outside, but is completely absurd on closer inspection. Like, random plumbing, 90% of which is unused. Five bedrooms and zero bathrooms. A basement door with no stairs behind it.

On that note, I suspect that a 25% tax is cheaper by far than the cost of building out state of the art silicon fab on US soil, plus the additional cost of paying Americans to do the manufacturing/assembly. Would you rather buy an iPhone for $1250 or $4000?

I’m disturbed that an elevator is running a desktop OS. How did this happen? Did they never hear of microcontrollers?

No, it’s JS

I don’t do much frontend work these days, but years ago, it felt like the defining feature of Bootstrap was the 12-column layout. Sure, it had fun buttons and other components, but the ability to trivially define multi-column layout without ripping your hair out was its raison d’être.

Now that we have flexbox, I’m not sure anyone needs Bootstrap.

Yeah, exactly. I don’t get it.

You can’t do incremental builds with just. I don’t see how it’s a replacement?

Guess I failed the Turing Test. Hope the humans don’t turn me off.

At some point when every human on earth that can use their service/product is already doing so, where else is there to go?

Ooh, I know:

• Charge more (for less)
• Autocannibalize (layoffs)

I don’t even have an MBA, can you believe that?

Are you arguing that assembly languages are not architecture-specific? I don’t think that’s the typical definition.

Nasm is an assembler, but it also represents a specific assembly language targeting x86 architectures.

Gas is an assembler of a higher order. It can emit code for many architectures, and thus it accepts many different architecture-specific assembly languages.

You can also “simply” raw-dog Wireguard. It’s built into the Linux kernel, so you barely have to install anything besides the userspace tools.

Basically, I objected to being reliant on the generosity of a for-profit company. “We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy.”

This is a rough sketch:

• Create a Linux server. It can even be a VM/container if you get the networking right.
• Create a Wireguard interface and pick a private IP address subnet that won’t conflict with your home subnet: https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/
• Define PostUp and PostDown rules in your Wireguard config that modify iptables to masquerade traffic from the Wireguard subnet
• Also set net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 with sysctl. (There is probably an IPv6 equivalent but I live in the past.)
• Generate keypairs and configs for each device you want to use
• Set up dynamic DNS, e.g. https://freedns.afraid.org/
• Forward UDP port 51820 to your server
• Install the Wireguard app on your client devices. If Linux, you can just write a client config containing the necessary magic words and start it up with wg-quick.

Boom. Tailscale’d.

I’m sure I’ve forgotten some steps. I have some janky automation that’s broken in a new way every time I try to use it.

Not a lawyer, but I thought trademarks are distinct from copyright. Even if copyright went poof, it’s still possible to violate a trademark.

I thought flies use ZZ for the onomatopoeia

I have no opinion of them, but I’m curious why advertising would imply untrustworthiness. Are you saying they’re too eager or something? Spending money on ads is also consistent with a company that’s making money by charging for a service — I’d be more suspicious of free VPNs.

Can I interest you in an IBM WatchPad? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_WatchPad

Given the warning about capitalization, the best possible case is that they’re using ast.literal_eval() rather than throwing untrusted input into eval().

Err, I guess they might be comparing strings to ‘True’ and are choosing to be really strict about capitalization for some reason.

It’s gonna be hot Hot HOT!!
