cant that be fixed, tho?

If the analogy is a personal asistant, a good assistant will know when to notify you and when not to.


Maybe yeah, though I don’t know if practicing restraint is something I would say LLM’s are good at though.

I think to all of the needless comments in code, AI code reviews pointing out inane nitpicks, etc.

It just makes me think your AI assistant is going to be pinging you non stop


60% job loss is not off a cliff?

That huge job loss also means no hiring. If you were a bank teller you would seriously need to consider a job switch


There was this old hispanic site called mocosoft (moco translates to booger) that was succesfully sued by Microsoft due to a very similar name.

Or at least the mocosoft owener received a ceise and desist by Microsoft and decided to drop the site.

I expect something similar with this site


The way I understand, helm is the npm of k8s.

You can install, update, and remove an app in your k8s cluster using helm.

And you release a new version of your app to a helm repository.


The thing i would add to this is that in most cases, you need to manually provide config values to the install.

This sounds okay in principle, but I far too often end up needing to look through the template files (what helm deploys) to understand what a config option actually does since documentation is hit or miss.


Is opensource synonym of free?


If you mean free as in "free software", not really.

1. The philosophy is completely different: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

2. Technically, mostly but not quite; there are technical differences: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45604258

If you mean free as in gratis: nope, you can sell open source software, there are several possible business models around this.


We use it for backend. F500 company.

There is almost no locking with Kotlin. You can stop writting Kotlin code any time and start writting Java code.

However I think it's not possible to call coroutine code from Java.


Exactly why we use it. Our java devs have been able to pickup and start writing kotlin. None of them have regretted it that I've seen.

It's extremely close to Java in terms of most concepts. That makes it an easy language to switch into and out of. It's java with a nicer syntax and more sugar.


Fruits are good fiber sources.

Juices do not have fiber, just sugar.


Is there any way to check that with non-plain-text password?


Actually it can be trivial as long as you can require the user to re-type the current password when entering a new password; check hash first, then check edit distance with the entered "current password" (and, of course, promptly throw it away once you know the edit distance.)


Ohh. I guess that's what Windows does when a user wants to change their own password in the domain.


It does more than that, it keeps a hashed password history (which used to be in the user attr ntPasswdHistory, but is now "somewhere secret" afaik) according to the value of ms-DS-Password-History-Length attribute. OpenLDAP keeps these (ppolicy overlay) in the user object.

So, it can hash any proposed password and compare the history to make it's not been seen $recently (as an exact match, since it's comparing hashes).

It could also perform some minor permutations of any new password, and do the same history check to make sure you're not just changing the first or last character or digit. I don't know if it does this, but it could.


Bad habits are hard to kill.

Sometimes you just cant convince people that something is no longer recommended.


You don't really need to convince people who implement it. You need to convince people creating certification/law, so PCI/SOC2/whatever. I'm still posting every time something like "for the record, I know we have to legally do this, but it's pointless and actually makes us less secure" for a few things.


That is assuming there is stil a company left.
