Or for a more purpose built wrapper (for the same use cases as postman): https://hurl.dev/

Still relevant because claude’s CLI (which is actually more of a TUI) is built on react

you’re not wrong but you could’ve delivered that more nicely lmfao

personally, I find it useful as a crude heuristic for identifying software that probably won’t make someone wake me up in the middle of the night because it crashed because of some ridiculous bug caused by the dev doing clumsy ad hoc string parsing or poor null checking (more common than memory safety issues, IME)

There’s generally a culture of comprehensiveness and solidity I find lacking in most mainstream programming communities

the judgement did not require they delete the books from their archives, only that they stop lending out digital copies of books fitting specific criteria. which should be obvious because possession not copyright infringement, reproduction/distribution is.

in fact, the judgement specfically allows Internet Archive to continue to use those books “for the purpose of accessibility for ‘eligible persons’”

what’s your methodology for that 95% figure? because Internet Archive themselves mention no such clause:

The lawsuit only concerns our book lending program. The injunction clarifies that the Publisher Plaintiffs will notify us of their commercially available books, and the Internet Archive will expeditiously remove them from lending. Additionally, Judge Koeltl also signed an orderin favor of the Internet Archive, agreeing with our request that the injunction should only cover books available in electronic format, and not the publishers’ full catalog of books in print

Because this case was limited to our book lending program, the injunction does not significantly impact our other library services.  The Internet Archive may still digitize books for preservation purposes, and may still provide access to our digital collections in a number of ways, including through interlibrary loan and by making accessible formats available to people with qualified print disabilities. We may continue to display “short portions” of books as is consistent with fair use—for example, Wikipedia references (as shown in the image above). The injunction does not affect lending of out-of-print books. And of course, the Internet Archive will still make millions of public domain texts available to the public without restriction.

Debian says they intentionally opted not to remove these images from Docker Hub and to leave them as historical artifacts, telling users to only use up-to-date images and not old ones.

The maintainers made this decision as they believe the requirements for exploitation are unlikely, such as requiring sshd installed and running on the container, the attacker having network access to the SSH service on that container, and using a private key that matches the backdoor’s trigger logic.

Idk that seems pretty reasonable to me. I think I’ve eojly ever needed to enable ssh on a container once

SQLite continues to be the “Do Nothing. Win” of databases

In fact, that model (conceptually, though not technically) is how most fediverse software already work

Researchers from AquaSec have noted its ability to automatically switch to backup mining pools if a primary one becomes unavailable, ensuring continuous operation. This level of sophistication has led security experts to believe that large language models or other automation frameworks may have played a role in its development.

Is it just me or is this not a very convincing rationale.

It’s just a consequence of independent file formats. There’s bound to be overlap in what counts as technically a valid X and also technically a valid Y. It’s pretty much unavoidable. The tricky part is figuring out what fits in that sliver of the venn diagram but is also useful as malware.

FWIW, I was hesitant about obsidian for the same reasons. I would’ve preferred an open source editor and a syntax like asciidoc. But the fact that everything is markdown and it being such a common standard does make obsidian being closed source more palatable^[1]. And tbh, for note-taking/“second brain” purposes, a relatively constrained format like markdown is pretty suitable. I wouldn’t want it for technical writing but it serves the purpose for quick and dirty tasks like quickly jotting down notes^[2]. And any other markdown language wouldn’t have the same amount of tooling (e.g. org-mode is underspecified and essentially emacs-only unless you see stick to a specific subset of features)

I understand the definition of “Freedom” as laid out by e.g. the FSF. I was explaining why your argumentation is not convincing unless the audience already agrees that complicity in genocide is an acceptable tradeoff to software freedoms. I’m saying you could make a more convincing argument by just not making that comparison in the first place. Unless your point was “perhaps we should reconsider whether Open Source is Good”.

This assumes the audience will agree that genocide is an acceptable tradeoff for software freedoms.

I don’t know if “freedom to modify source code” and “committing a genocide” are morally comparable. This seems to undermine your point. I would have picked a different analogy

From numpy’s docs:

The bool_ data type is very similar to the Python bool but does not inherit from it because Python’s bool does not allow itself to be inherited from, and on the C-level the size of the actual bool data is not the same as a Python Boolean scalar.

and likewise:

The int_ type does not inherit from the int built-in under Python 3, because type int is no longer a fixed-width integer type.

are there ligatures for monospace fonts that don’t preserve the width of the characters?
