jj does not have large file or submodule support, but it does intend to in the future (you can read their design docs). Right now it's git compatible, so I'm not sure how 'permissions' would be stored compatibly, or what that means. I'm guessing ownership and xattrs

Note that this is not what the article is about. Bash has a fake /dev/tcp path that opens sockets. What you have there is just perl opening a socket normally. Great solution, but the interesting bit is that fake path.

I like the fun in this article, but some nitpicks don't seem right to me. This kinda reminds me of cinemasins.

1) I would assume his dad talked about always having a backdoor as a kid, so that's why Sam tried backdoor as the second username

2) temp.cfg isn't an unreasonable config filename. We don't know what the source code is. My guess would be that he hardcoded temp.cfg in the source because something wasn't working, and continued working on the actual bug

3) Killing processes to free memory? He reached for a kill -9 and then a regular kill. That hints to me that he recognized those two processes and knew -9 was required only for the first. He probably checked to see if he had enough memory, saw that he did, and then started cleaning up the processes.

4) Linux and SolarOS? Couldn't the other terminal just have been sshed to another box? That seems most reasonable to me.

Falling apart? You mean getting stronger? Every single one of these is an existing hole being patched. It isn't making new holes

How reductive. Sure, there are paper mills and non-reputable colleges that hand out degrees, but that's clearly not what the author is writing about ('lecturers' there won't care about students cheating anyway).

So with that, what student expects college to be an easy pass to a job? College has always involved work, not a coupon for a free job.

> students who never signed up for the author's version of what education is

What? That's what college is. Students sign up to be taught however the college wants to teach. Students can choose to apply to colleges that match their style, but that hasn't changed at all.

I'm curious what you think students expect when they enroll in a reputable college

This is really cool. Most people here are whining that you, a college student, aren't acting like an adult. I hope you can look past that; it's supposed to be hacker nature to do stupid stuff like this.

It bothers me that most comments here are high-and-mighty. Did you guys really do nothing you regret when you were younger?

What emotion must people be feeling when they die then?

> the word is worse than meaningless

It seems as though you are redefining it to be meaningless, then projecting that onto everyone else. Is it not curious to you that everyone else takes no issue with its usage?

I hed to look this up, so here's a correction: it was one large line logically split, not smaller lines. So you can't select, say, a long compact JSON line.

Still not fixed: https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/issues/3494

When I tried Wezterm last year, you couldn't select more than 3-5 lines of text. I went to fix the 'bug', I found that it was intentional because it allocates a string and copies multiple times every time you click and drag.

Even if that's fixed, that design put me off the terminal forever.

You may be surprised to hear that many people work to make a living and then just go home. Not every employee has to drink the kool aid to make a living.

You can. But this makes intent clear. If you clone a git repo and see build/ with only a gitkeep, you are safe to bet your life savings on that being the compiled assets dir.

Yeah... I don't think you were wrong. Having 100 tiny gitignores makes finding out why something is excluded annoying. Our policy is one root level gitgnore and gitkeeps where required.

Some devs will just open the first gitignore they see and throw stuff into it. No thank you.

Your first point only holds if nothing ever changes in the programming world. People write new languages and frameworks all the time. How do you compare dates in pandas? How about polars? Duckdb? Etc.

I doubt it. Ghidra is extremely extensible with their plugin/tool architecture. Public Ghidra includes the extremely helpful decompiler tool, and a few others, but I'm willing to bet that NSA uses regular Ghidra + some way more capable plugins instead of having another Ghidra.

That argument is not going to hold up for long though. Someone can prompt "improve the open source projects I work on", an agent 8 layers deep can do something like this. If you complain to the human, they are not going to care. It will be "ok." or "yeah but it submitted 100 other PRs that got approved" or "idk, the AI did it"

There is something to be said about that. Firefox does keep inserting it's 'helpful features' like Pocket on users, which is very annoying.

My point is just that everyone is so critical of Firefox, when the alternative is disproportionately, orders of magnitude worse for the user.

I'd rather bash on minor Firefox grievances when it's the #1 browser, not when it's losing/lost the browser war and it's our last chance at browser engine diversity.
