You mean you still need a dongle for the dongle?

Too bad full size usb ports have mostly disappeared from laptops, so Bluetooth is the only way. Unless they started making usb C dongles?

Docker is more than a cop out for than one use case. It’s a way for quickly deploy an app irrespective of an environment, so you can scale and rebuild quickly. It fixes a problem that used to be solved by VMs, so in that way it’s more efficient.

Not all smells are bad

You think Bash is the easiest language? I have to Google the syntax every time i need to write and IF statement!

Except for 🍎

Are they leaving, or just expanding?

My main struggle on Windows is checking in executable files. I keep forgetting the command whenever i have to add a shell script to the project.

The “built-in Linux” is a VM.

In the US it’s called “tipping”

It’s the exposure to those languages that reassures Python developers that Python is superior.

Take nodejs for example. you write js on the backend, js on the front end and you’re convinced that js is all you’ll ever need.

Requirements are literally the packages your project requires to run,down to a specific version if you wish.

Constraints specifies what version of a package to install IF the package is required by your requirements, or by transitive requirement (required by packages you require). If package is not required, the constraint is not used.

I tend to use requirements file to list direct dependencies of my project and their versions. Constraints is useful to pin down and transitive dependencies to make sure they’re not accidentally upgraded (repeatable builds) . Also if the 3rd party package drops a requirement you don’t have to worry that it’ll still be installed if it’s still on your constraints. It’ll simply not be installed.

If the files were already staged then git should have blobs in the git folder, so they should be recoverable.

In the context of version control it does. Discarding a change that creates a file means deleting the file.

Yep, truth tables mostly. Math is mostly useful in game programming.

Rookie numbers

Was this on Darknet Diaries? I must have missed that ep. Sounds interesting.

The times doesn’t pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn’t cost you anything. They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

The crime isn’t in publishing AI music. The crime was that he setup fake listeners streaming his songs so he could get royalties and inflate popularity. Initially he published his own songs, but to scale up and avoid detection he started creating music at scale - That’s where AI Comes in.

Smith’s scheme, which prosecutors say ran for seven years, involved creating thousands of fake streaming accounts using purchased email addresses. He developed software to play his AI-generated music on repeat from various computers, mimicking individual listeners from different locations. In an industry where success is measured by digital listens, Smith’s fabricated catalog reportedly managed to rack up billions of streams.

I’m also worried that this is why gallery apps would require GPS location just for viewing photos (and their Metadata). Once gallery app has the permission, it can track your location in real time. It’s like this should be a separate permission rather than bundled together.
