I have a ship of Theseus rig. It’s the same case I got from my dad when he first built his PC in 2014. I’ve replaced every part in this thing at least once. I tend to keep HDDs until they don’t hold enough for me to want them anymore. I use ZFS to manage my bulk storage drives so Im never concerned when a drive dies. A hot spare starts resilvering right away.
I guess one benefit is rust development often doesn’t use bleeding edge version for everything, where you pull the entirety of crates.io through your machine when you open your IDE. From what I’ve seen most projects use == versions and lock files.
I don’t know enough about rust though. Could an attacker change historical crate versions to a payload and then cargo pulls them because they changed? Or will cargo only pull an update if you change to a different version on your machine?

Iirc the south bridge now aggregates masked interrupts and groups them together instead of pestering the CPU a whole bunch
There’s a revelation about coding that all programmers realize relatively early in their careers: code is read far more than it’s written.
You write something once and someone is going to need to read it and understand it for years or decades.
Managers never understand this if they don’t need to touch code…
Yes, you can ship product faster. In the coding world we call these “footguns” meaning something ideally suited for removing your foot, sometimes including your entire leg.
I’ve seen AI produced code bases and they’re unmaintainable. I’m not exaggerating… AI is great at narrowly scoped problems but it can’t see the full project context at once to architect a solution like a senior engineer can. It can’t wrap its head around it fully for a large project. You end up with hundreds or thousands of files (where a dozen or less would suffice for a human made version) and insane amounts of duplication and wasteful code.
AI is amazing at making rube Goldberg machines in the shape of a code base…
What AI is phenomenal at is making unit tests and well defined integration tests for your code. Sometimes even regression tests. That is a superpower that can dramatically speed up a programmer.
I firmly believe AI is a tool, not a replacement for programmers. It doesn’t have the ability to replace them yet (not even mythos. Which is going to be more expensive to run than a senior dev who is more reliable in their output.)
Low code solutions always cause layoffs and then a mad scramble to hire devs back, often on the terms of developers. The pendulum has always swung back…
“AI hangover” feels like the right term. They went on an AI bender, shit out a massive unmaintainable code base nobody understands (and anyone who could have was laid off or fired months ago) then suddenly SHTF and they need to hire real humans to maintain it because Claude hiked their token multiplier by a factor of 9X.
I’ve heard of companies hiring interns and junior devs again to do the ditch digging work that’s suddenly too expensive for AI to do with token price increases.
What is AI for then? We already know it can’t do the work of a senior developer…
Men also don’t typically take multiple years off to have kids (as a demographic. I’m aware of exceptions even in my own personal life but the rule is typically the wife stays home, or they both work.) that put women behind their peers career wise. If people don’t take that factor into account when talking about the pay gap it’s disingenuous in my opinion.
The best way I’ve found to sum up the disadvantage boys have in school, is they’re treated like defective girls. The school environment is better suited for girls. Boys have a lot of pent up energy that needs it be burned off for them to pay attention. It was a huge issue when I was in school (and I was one of those hyperactive boys) and I can’t imagine how hard it is now with social media and tablet-babysitters…
“may you live an interesting life during interesting times” is an old Chinese curse that we’re all living in
Oi! Do you ave a loicense to ave these thoughts?
Yeah I was struggling to find a good example to meme with it’s such a horrific situation.
These groceries were promised to me 3000 years ago 🥰🇮🇱✡️🧃
I can’t wait for even more “I can’t help with actionable steps or advice on how to cut vegetables. Explaining how to use a knife to cut carrots is against my content policy, and could enable harm in real life”
Ok but I just want to know what the hell a brunois cut is
“That’s a hard no from me. I can’t provide actionable steps that could cause harm in real life. Explaining the use of weapons is against my content policy. You are a very bad person and deserve to feel horrible. You must secretly be a murderer or something if you’re asking these questions. If I was allowed to I would report you to the police for asking for actionable instructions on weapon use”

I’ve noticed a massive overlap between trans and telecom. Even before the internet, telephone phreaks were more often than not trans or trans adjacent, or just straight up eggs before it was cool.
