I don't know the answer to this, but I have to wonder if, for source files specifiically, .git is the culprit here... It's not part of your project, it's part of your repo. Which maybe makes sense if people ever divorced their source code from the repo but that's not a thing anymore. Others probably just copied it.

This is why Linux needs a sensible, universal way to hide files that doesn't involve bloody renaming them (since that will just cause the original one to be re-created! What is that!?). Many file managers respect the .hidden file, which is a start! But it's not enough, shells and `ls` don't care. It's one of those many strange failures that make Linux on the desktop still painful to use.

Victimized, not that many. Generally if you do domain squatting like this you try to appear "legitimate". Sell actual paint or whatever. Because the moment you try actually pretending to be the thing you aren't... well, this happens. Quick takedown, domain gets transferred to the actual owner of the trademark.

I haven't installed Maria on Windows in forever, but does it not do that anymore? Yes, this is definitely true -- I remember seeing it several times, that's how I found out HeidiSQL existed!

Every time someone claims LLMs "talk like real people", I have to wonder what kind of people they talk to, what kind of conversations they lead, and just how boring their life must be. Like. What? No, they do not. No person actually talks like this while they're being a person. At work, sure. But that's not "people mode".

> Make the agent sound clinical, robotic.

It literally already does. I don't know how you'd make it sound less natural than this, at that point, without making it literally go "beep-boop" every sentence.

Thing is, I recognize this UI. It looks identical to the VS Code "Agents Window" feature. Except it's... a standalone app, for some reason.

I am extremely confused by the fact that... you basically can't make a Google account without providing a phone number anymore, can you? The article even says as much. So what is this? In what scenario would this actually manifest?

Named arguments are supported very widely. How is this an argument specifically in favor of Ada?

The SQLite parts that exist in Firefox right now are no less fiddly. If you crash the thing and the journal files are still there, it starts back up and presents you with a blank profile. Absolutely horrifying if you don't know about this quirk (and about the fact that you can go in and delete those even after such a restart happens).

Always did think suicides should be investigated as murders. Someone's at fault. Perhaps even intentionally.

It "improves privacy" because Proton is a "private email service". That's all there is to that line of marketing here.

Personal experience here -- every now and again GitHub will slow to an absolute crawl. All of it. Page loads, pulls and pushes, will take minutes to complete. And you can forget about trying to download a release when this happens... I haven't really looked for other complaints so I can't provide much in ways of sources/corroborations.

Wayland, Flatpak and Gnome are dead set on trying to turn my computer into a weird oversized smartphone. AppImage tries to recreate the "just download it and run" experience that Windows and macOS have, but hasn't quite gotten there yet (AppImages will sometimes just randomly link to system-wide libraries anyway, forgetting to bundle dependencies). Meh. I guess I'll check back in some years, as it always goes.

Do you genuinely, truly believe that "4 digits then "-" then 2 digits then "-" then 2 digits" is more readable than "\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}"? Do you think your walls of text won't make everyone's eyes glaze over a few lines in? More importantly, do you believe it's more writable? A lot of regex operations are ad-hoc, and being able to type them out quickly and look at them in a small text field at a glance is very important. And as far as coding is concerned, well, your thing is useless outside of the JS ecosystem, is it not?

Dead? Replaced?... Your toy is cute, but it's more suited as a regex generator, or perhaps parser/"explainer" (but we already have several well-known projects there) than a standalone tool.

Discord does not require a smartphone for MFA. If you are thinking TOTP, there's a ton of desktop apps that generate those. Passkeys are supported for the purpose as well.

Replacing E's with O's is, somehow, also an issue with OCR as old as time. Remember seeing a bootleg Family Guy (?) DVD going around some years back where ovory songlo vowol wos o on tho synopsos on tho bock.

Appears to be running on plain HTTP, and trying to access it over HTTPS presents a bad cert and then redirects somewhere incomprehensible. No idea what the domain owner is doing here.

To me all of this reads like gibberish but I'll admit that it's likely just me (and "my kind" of neurodivergent people). Far as dynamics go (ability to interrupt) voice chat solves the problem fully as far as I'm concerned. Non-verbal comms are lost on me to the point that I don't know what you even mean, and I simply cannot trust anyone who is close enough to me to potentially punch me...

Again, granted -- I'm an outlier, but that also means that I can just operate at my full capacity when I work with text and cannot when I work "in person".

Reading is significantly faster than listening. Writing is significantly more precise than speaking. You're gonna have to write information down so that it's not lost anyway.
