They are a non-profit with a mission to support free software:

However, they do this because of copyright status and harmful code:

"7. You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools (including services such as Claude, OpenAI Codex). Such projects having an unclear copyright status (see requirements § 2 (1) 1 and § 2 (1) 3) and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code (c.f. § 2 (1) 5). "

You are probably talking about Kahn. The international Criminal Court is not part of the UN. It is distinct from the International Court of Justice.

As of October 2024, there are 125 states parties to the Rome Statute, which are represented in the court's governing body, the Assembly of States Parties. Countries that are not party to the Rome Statute and do not recognise the court's jurisdiction include China, India, Russia, and the United States.

Member states represent around a third of the world population.

Especially since their costs might be multi-year investments. It's too early to judge the quality of those investments.

That data is not stolen. It's still there.

Gemini CLI is an open-source AI agent

This is not good for open-source. Claude is not open-source, copilot-cli is not and antigravity-cli isn't either.

Apparently the major players decide to keep the secret agent source, well, secret.

Ah wow, that must be the most expensive mouse pointer ever. I wonder if it can also click links. I just tell AI to "click this" and it will figure out what is under the pointer, query a graph of UI widgets and trigger a "click" event for me. Maybe with a sub-agent that has application context, "this is a browser".

If we manage that, my plans for a pure XML based shell might not be too futuristic '<in><ls/></in><out><tree><file date="CDATA[...]">' ...

Or just homebrew on Linux?

So, this is better than `dpkg --get-selections/--set-selections`? Oh, because it's partial?

What, of course we do?

Summarizing, explaining pages directly, without copying to another app. Reading pages out aloud. Maybe even orchestrating research sessions, by searching and organizing...

I wish there was a native XSLT library for Golang. Every model wants to shell out or requires CGO.

  As many of you are no doubt aware, bcachefs is switching to shipping as
  a DKMS module. Once the DKMS packages are in place very little should
  change for end users, but we've got some work to do on the distribution
  side of things to make sure things go smoothly.

  Good news: ...

This will make working with Google Docs easier, as they can copy&paste from Markdown.

Yes, that's why all the cool kids switched to tmux 17 years ago. The only argument the screen camp had was "no serial port support in tmux". To which we answered something about a smaller more modern code base...

Can you explain how? Or is your argument "One guy in a basement in Bulgaria could build Firefox for 50 Stotinki."?

I don't think it's a generation thing, I think it's that what we generally consider normal has changed, but that some people got left behind in the old normal.

Isn't that the definition of a "generational thing"?

Now I have to think every time, is this someone I have to text first? Or do they consider texting then calling redundant? Anyhow, I think both are important communication techniques, adults should be able to do remote direct verbal and async written.

Sophos was the latest scandal. Though, it's unclear to me to which degree their antivirus tools helped to install the malware. Maybe it was just the target selection from telemetry data. Maybe they used it to deploy the "kernel implant"?

Wow, I need to get some of that "binary code". Sounds dangerous, probably has "pointers" and other sharp things?

I'm happy the gigantic ball of ill-maintained shell scripts from the last century is gone from my systems.

Or

1) SSL

2) HTTP/3

3) Other (DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP)

At least you can do "<data> Have fun putting this in <format>JSON</format> :-&gt;</data>" in XML.

Indeed, back then it as "Yet another Markup Language" (https://yaml.org/spec/history/2001-12-10.html). I remember using it to write blog posts with static generators, like webgen around 2004.

Dockerfile and "market place" (hub) were the big ones in my opinion. Even though Dockerfile syntax was a mess in the beginning, being able to specify a base and a few commands was a huge improvement in usability. Then running build and push to make your image widely available. Collaboration was so easy compared to the alternatives, Linux jails, jailer, debootstrap, lxc and such.

LLMs are probably better at generating specifications than writing code.

Should be fine if you host your own tmate server.

This one is funny, maybe it helps:

These impressions are extremely dependent on ones bubble. It also differs a lot by country.

I used Perl for LAMP apps in the 90ties. Perl lost webdev to PHP (some Ruby) and science stuff to Python. Fans of OOP/functional style programming went to Ruby.

System administration never fully replaced awk/sed/bash with Perl and the new wave was all configuration management, like chef and puppet.

Python was considered to be a "clean", algol-style language, so universities started teaching it twenty years ago. Only logical after teaching Pascal for decades. Students kept using Python, so now there are lots of data science projects around.
