That’s how you get that job security…

It’s very sad. He had some brilliant ideas, with a bit of mental health support he could have done incredible things. RIP :(

It’s the second coming of Terry Davis!

And their own Unix before that. And arguably their own Linux compatible kernel until they dropped that ball.

Been a while since I’ve seen a bluescreen period. 10 and 11, for all their faults, have been pretty stable on that front. Crowdstrike did spoil a very good run.

That isn’t exclusively true. Programs can capture SIGTERM and ignore it, or do as they please, SIGKILL is non-negotiable though.

Windows does have an equivalent to SIGKILL as well, in taskkill /F.

At least in Australia, those require a firearms licence, whereas regular bows don’t.

And arguably both are unwieldy, you can’t quick reload a crossbow.

Archery is cheap. A hunting bow kit can be had for a few hundred dollars, and arrows are renewable.

Thats what I thought as well, but TLS as a term felt a bit too technical for the meme format, which is why I suggested XOR.

Telnet IS TCP. “Telnet wrapped in a thin layer of XOR” might fit better?

there’s some resource that says ‘change this part to do x’.

Arguably, this is just a different type of script.

I think the real separation is that while you might seek out a few different resources, or try a few alternatives to solve a problem, a “script-kiddie” is likely stuck if the first result in Google doesn’t solve the problem immediately.

For my definition of script-kiddie, its not that they won’t change something, they by definition cannot because they dont understand it.

We may have different definitions here, but that is the one I am familiar with.

Script-kiddie is a derogatory term for a computer user who can’t read or edit the code. Scripts might be useful to us, but they may as well be opaque to a script-kiddie.

script-kiddie 2.0?

• Running 7 different LLM agents simultaneously, not for proof of correctness, just for speed and resource burn

Missing the LLM developer with billions of tokens to burn.

• “Claude, please solve this puzzle so my Grandma can get her insulin”
• if the LLM succeeds, solves in less than 10 seconds.
• if it fails, star remains forever unsolved - “Impossible with current LLM, will try again with ChatGPT 8.0”

You want to look into uv, it can set you up a specific python version fairly easily.

Babe, wake up, the new Jia Tan dropped!

They may not have been formally vetted, but they are in the sense that the majority of those 200 crates are used widely in everyone else’s projects.

But yeah, this is definitely a blind spot, not just for rust, but all modern build systems that accept code from various sources. At least cargo vet is a step in the right direction.

Also rp2040 devices.
