I like it, and its scaling difficulty is smart.

Wow, it’s like if the Phoronix forums didn’t have its sane element. Is this representative of Artix users generally?

Please reread the first sentence of what you just replied to.

Cloudflare gives its 522 error, but I can load via IPv6 from the same city. I’ve also found the issue with Cf in front of servers I run on a different continent, so I’ve been able to do some good testing and have spent plenty of time looking into it. I haven’t found any other Cloudflare locations with the problem, but there’s plenty of them.

Personally, my local Cloudflare seems to have some problem with IPv6 and some sites won’t load. On my desktop I’ve set Firefox to use IPv4 for such sites, but on my phone I need to use mobile data (which doesn’t support IPv6). I don’t think it’s a common problem, but you did ask.

Gotta love Ralph Steadman. I’ve got a copy of his Extinct Boids book.

I don’t think having a textual article auto-scrolled and voiced adds anything at all, and people who do want that can do it themselves, and have it set to their choice of accent, speed, etc.

Video links tend to do worse than text links on Lemmy, so you’d probably have been better off all round just posting your original blog post.

This is just a bad text-to-speech reading of a Medium blog post.

Edit: I see the author has satire in the list of tags, so perhaps if I’d stuck with it longer I’d find it’s a joke…?

I made a rubber duck for all your debugging needs:

That elongated, streamlined shell made me assume this was a joke or hoax at first.

I hadn’t heard about the carrot disclosure stuff, but I hope this doesn’t become a common thing. Just saying “I can hack you” with some purported output from a script is pretty useless feedback.

Geoffrey Challen, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, plans to offer a new course this fall in which he will teach students to develop software “without writing, reading, debugging, or viewing a single line of code,” he told me.

Is that meant to say reviewing? Either way, I can’t see how this would lead to good results, even with a comprehensive test suite. Security? Scalability? Maintainability?

Have they taken out the AI generated papers? We know that training LLMs on LLM-generated text leads to an absolute collapse in quality, and we also know that AI has been showing up in papers so if they haven’t, then this will be quite unreliable.

Figuring out how to solve a problem on an OS I’d used for a few weeks fortuitously solved a problem I’d created trying to solve a different problem on a different OS a few years ago. We learn by doing!

I loved this bit, I think everyone in tech has a similar story of some kind.

Bah, I see this was already posted here a year ago - only two comments showed up when I searched for the url before posting!

Sounds amazing, I’ll have to keep an eye out for rhubarb amaro. Growing up, we had rhubarb growing in the garden, but I almost never taste it nowadays.

Ériu, Banba and Fódla are from Lebor Gabála Érenn, Ireland’s creation myth, and they each wanted the whole country named after them (and still can be, poetically). This is a mythologised history, not etymology.

Also, downvoting someone you’re debating with is extremely bad form.

The names Ireland and Éire both derive from Old Irish Ériu, which in turn comes from Proto-Celtic ɸīweriyū meaning “fertile soil”. The Classical Latin name for the island of Ireland, Ivernia, also comes from this same root

Not sure why you’re mentioning Ireland, did you think it was named after Kathy Ireland?

then unapproved by Lennart Poettering

No, you’ve misunderstood, here is a quote from your own source:

A merge request asking for this change to be repealed was struck down by Lennart

It was a reversion that Poettering rejected, the PR stands.

Also, there’s things like the Mediterranean that is much saltier than the Atlantic, despite plenty of water flowing back and forth. There’s sealife that’s only found in the Med, like the Mediterranean monk seal.
