Yeah I do wonder if we need an easier way to declare these things because programmers are lazy and even in Rust I wouldn’t always bother.
You can kind of do it in Typescript with strings:
function create_user(role: "admin" | "normal")
But of course the downside is they are strings at runtime. I’m sure it’s possible though.
Rust doesn’t need this as much because it has enums so you can just do create_user(user, Role::Admin, Notify::None).
Or just “slopping” maybe? “Stop slopping up code.”
Yeah Ruby sucks but that was an interesting read, and the way they used Serde to decode Ruby values is a very clever trick!
Oh so… there actually aren’t “so many other good tools out there that don’t pull this kind of shit [have bugs]”…
Do you know of an alternative to VSCode that has no bugs? That would be amazing!
Tbh while DST (or just “testing” as hardware people would call it) is very obviously a great idea, I’m not sure it would have helped here - in order to detect these TOCTOU bugs you would need stimulus that triggers it and some kind of checker/model that has the correct behaviour.
That’s totally possible but it’s pretty hardcore testing for a software project and it’s difficult to imagine doing that without realising that you have a TOCTOU issue just by inspection.
Sooo evil, making a great editor available completely for free that you don’t have to use at all. How dare they? Practically Hitler!
The entitlement is off the scale…
the researchers guided mythos to the vulnerabilities, not the other way around
I don’t think that’s true, based on what I read.
JavaScript isn’t even close to the worst language to ever exist.
I suspect just asking would work. The number of people that will use AI to make sloppy PRs is going to be a lot higher than the number that will bare-faced lie about having used AI.
RSSI just means Received Signal Strength Indicator. Any radio system can provide it - it’s not specific to BLE.
Bluetooth classic can provide RSSI too. Maybe the OS doesn’t expose currently it but that’s why I was suggesting modifying the OS. The only difficulty might be if the drivers are closed source, but worth a look I reckon!
adding RSSI might only work on newer devices, since classic pebbles are just Bluetooth and Bluetooth le
I don’t follow. It’s extremely unlikely that the actual hardware doesn’t give you RSSI.
Yeah I could have told you this wasn’t going to work. You need latency measurements accurate to the order of a nanosecond. There are way too many things in-between that have variance on the order of microseconds or more, especially thread scheduling.
You need hardware support for something like this to work, as in WiFi RTT.
Isn’t PebbleOS open source? I’d probably make a patch to add RSSI support to the OS.
Vim’s solution to fast editing also isn’t very compelling since multiple cursor editing was invented. You can get 90% of the editing speed by learning 1% of the shortcuts. And the UX is slightly nicer since you get immediate feedback.
I feel like this is due to my C-suite pushing for AI integrations in basically everything
I would put a small amount of money on it actually being because this guy was involved in setting up that workflow and sees your suggestion to fix it as criticism that it is shit (and by implication so is he).
Very common defence mechanism.
I don’t have a strong opinion on the beta site, but I do know that they need to stop listening to the exact people that killed their site (or allowed it to be killed by AI at least).
Actually they should have stopped listening to them a decade ago. Now is way too late.
I haven’t used Java for decades and never used .net so I’ll take your word for those. Absolutely not for C++ though.
Go’s standard library has:
C++ has none of that. Hell C++ only got a function to check if a string starts with a prefix a few years ago.
I think the only mainstream language with a standard library that is both good and comprehensive is Go. All of the others either have smaller standard libraries (e.g. Rust) or poorly designed ones (Python).
Probably NPM packages. I once saw a guy who was super proud that they “maintained” something insane like 500 NPM packages. They had custom tooling to make it possible.
Of course it was all less than worthless.
