Dear network switch vendors: Why do you always put the power connector on one side of the box and the network ports on the other? I somewhat could understand for a rackmount switch but for desktop ones it's always Always ALWAYS better to have all the cables on one side of a component.

. @lmanul@macaw.social absolutely rocking https://lmanul.github.io/null-pointer/public_img/0011.png

@lmanul@macaw.social You're very welcome, and thank you for making epic shit. I have to make up for the crazy number of times I see your work show up uncredited.

@vitaut@mastodon.social CMake has very good "tree" documentation and awful "forest" documentation.

@vitaut@mastodon.social In fairness in my experience even people who eat CMake for breakfast every morning, like *me*, should know better about some things and don't.

It's almost like it has nothing to do with security and everything to do with kissing the ring

@RomanOnARiver@mastodon.social makes sense and that's fair. Sorry for my confusion

@nickappleton@mastodon.gamedev.place ah a fellow cursed denizen of build hell.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems Because LLMs?

@CarePackage17@mastodon.gamedev.place Oh wait I just realized this is for everything including dependencies and I was comparing with just LLVM itself ... so this might be the 20ish percent faster I was expecting

@lizardbill@hachyderm.io Wait, what?

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange New response just dropped

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social hack by opening Shodan indeed

@pinskia@hachyderm.io I still think it should pass the \t rather than needing an option

@grumpasaurus@infosec.exchange That's just moving the WTF

I keep seeing the Codeberg logo and thinking of the Myst opening https://youtu.be/8zSHBjab1t4

@bpfitzgerald@infosec.exchange I mean, I don’t have an issue using it because I did. This isn’t about whether the policy is reasonable. It’s their project and they can set that policy if they want. This is about what happens after I realize I’ve fucked up. I’m also asking about this because I strongly suspect this won’t be the last time. Since we started hanging those tools check vcpkg packages they have caught a LOT of bugs, including this one. But I do strongly care about contributors to other components not hating me/us

. @masnick.com Oh, I disagree. Everyone who would have ever considered this a good idea, please keep doing it so that I know who I can avoid doing business with in the future

@rcombs@social.treehouse.systems Ok

@CarePackage17@mastodon.gamedev.place regular. I've never been able to measure a difference for the whole dev drive thing. Maybe makes a bigger difference for many small ports rather than 1 big one

People who hate AI contributions. I accidentally had AI generate a fix for a project that explicitly forbids AI contributions. I wrote about it as https://github.com/icculus/physfs/issues/125 . Notwithstanding that I know you hate that I used AI for anything, was this an acceptable way to handle the situation, or do you think I should have done something different?

I love listening to Seriois Trouble and hearing Ken White say "was reported on by @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io and @krebs_on_security_feed@noc.social "

Wow there's one that's even worse

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social I always assumed killing Claude Code use is just because it's embarrassing to be using a competitor rather than it having anything to do with cost

@pinskia@hachyderm.io Everyone has a different opinion about how many spaces to draw for a tab. Which is why tooling should just pass through the \t and let the user's configuration do what they want with it. FWIW I am of the 4 spaces per tab religion rather than 8 but I fully understand the religion that it is

@vitaut@mastodon.social (If 1 implementation does something dumb then blame that implementation, when every implementation does something dumb I think you are just https://xkcd.com/2501/ )

@chandlerc@hachyderm.io I am also normally a spaces person but not to the point I would ignore what the user said

It’s so frustrating to see the vendor who did music the most right just completely torpedo it slowly over time

Absolutely fucking incredible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amezaiku

@CarePackage17@mastodon.gamedev.place This is on the Strix Halo machine again... so probably trades blows with 275HX. I was really expecting yours to be the ~20% faster I see in reviews but compilation and Cinebench have never been the best comparisons

@RomanOnARiver@mastodon.social I would argue "vibe code" traditionally means not only using AI to write the code but also not reading it or having any specific understanding of the details of its function, so accusing someone of "vibe coding" additionally implies that they didn't even review it.

@RomanOnARiver@mastodon.social is it that you don't see the distinction, or is it that you don't believe it to be meaningful? If truly the former, pretend it's OSS with no AI at all where one maintainer actually reviews and spots bugs in PRs vs. one who just rubber stamps and merges anything. (To be clear, the only reason I replied here is because your toot was in the form of a question. FWIW I would describe my day job as mostly vibe coding these days; before AI most vcpkg PRs were a rubber stamp)

@vitaut@mastodon.social "naive" ... "10x faster" ... I think there is some confusion here

@vitaut@mastodon.social There's a lot of stuff in textbooks that is not "naive".

@chandlerc@hachyderm.io (I'm looking at you GCC and your recent converting tabs to spaces in console output assuming that everyone follows GNU indentation conventions rather than just emitting the \t and letting the user's terminal/editor do what they configure it to do)

Man claims without evidence to have reinvented (at least) 45-year-old technology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-1) to much fanfare. For some reason. Worked out great for Colombia. I'm pretty sure the Inconel they made the orbiters out of is a bit higher quality than the stainless steel sheet metal they're using. 🤷‍♂️

@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social I can't decide if I hate calling the orange pile of cheesy whatsits "emperor" is good for criticizing how undemocratic he is or bad because it suggests that the last shred of democracy is gone

@m8urnett@infosec.exchange Very https://youtu.be/b2sDx0Y_I-k vibes

@cR0w@infosec.exchange jalapeños aren't spicy dammit!

@chandlerc@hachyderm.io LMAO so helpful poll

@chandlerc@hachyderm.io I mean, sometimes they might not wrap in useful ways but in my experience tools that try to workaround this often do not help the situation: nothing is more confusing than double wrapping

@bpfitzgerald@infosec.exchange I feel like you're kinda missing the point of my question, namely, that I'm asking about my behavior, not the maintainers'.
