This is the kind of AI stuff that really annoys me. Looking at one of the mutation examples I didn’t see anything that wouldn’t normally be tested by a typical mutation tool. You took a simple, idempotent process and you got an llm to do it slower, less accurately, and using more resources.

If you wanted to marry the two in a new and possibly useful fashion I would say use an llm to analyze the results of a standard mutation test and give guidance on what issues should be acted upon first. An off-by-one calculation could mean somebody loses a million dollars or it could mean a button is grayed out. Standard mutation tools don’t give you that context.

I find it hard to contribute to some projects because I don’t understand the overall architecture but I think contributing to unit testing is pretty simple. You just need to understand the smallest units of work, not the whole thing.

I’ve gone through bouts of depression and I know motivation is hard to come by but I think it’s difficult to be depressed when you’re in the middle of exercising. I know the ask was to make time go by faster and as someone else said certain activities can make your brain take a break. I feel like walking, running, or biking outside is a fairly good way for your muscles to do the thinking but less hamster wheel than going to a gym or exercising at home.

Other than the low chance of you being targeted I would say only expose your services through something like Wireguard. Other than the port being open attackers won’t know what it’s for. Wireguard doesn’t respond if you don’t immediately authenticate.

There’s a little overlap with things like Terraform but it’s not as bad as if they bought the companies that owned Chef or Puppet.

Can’t believe that’s gone through. They took JBoss when they bought RedHat so now it doesn’t have to compete with Websphere and when they bought HashiCorp Openshift doesn’t have to compete with Nomad. At this rate they’ll buy CyberArk and then that’s no more competition with Vault.

Unless we go the way of Independence Day or Three-Body Problem. At this point though I’d also probably say…

Zelda combat gives me way too many heart palpations. I also tried for like 2 hours to take down a guardian with shield blocking (eventually did) and I really don’t think I got any better at it.

Had some good gameplay here and there but didn’t seem engaged by the story. I guess that’s the biggest problem with open world games, that everyone can get the story fed to them in a different order.

I’m not experienced in the usual “hard games” but it feels like Noita is the Dark Souls of 2D gaming. If I get to the 3rd area I’m hanging on by a thread and every boss has totally owned me. Is everyone using like invulnerability potions or something to get through this? I do neglect potions a lot.

I really enjoyed the Ultima games, especially VII Serpent Isle. Got pretty far on VIII but that one was pretty buggy and froze too much for me to finish.

Even in this scenario it’s feasible for standards to change. ISBN-15 becomes a thing and suddenly you have books that never get an ISBN-13 so your primary key constraints cause an error for trying to insert a null. Granted, you can see a lot of these changes coming but again, they come on a schedule you don’t control.

Got hands on experience with this. Wasn’t my design choice but I inherited an app with a database where one of the keys was tied to a completely separate database. I mean at the time it probably made sense but the most unlikely of scenarios actually happened: that other database, the one I had zero control over, was migrated to a new platform. All of those keys were synthetic so of course they were like, “Meh, why we gotta keep the old keys?” So post-migration my app becomes basically useless and I spent 6 hours writing migration code, some of it on off hours, to fix my data.

So it’s questionable whether a foreign key of a completely different system is a natural key, but at the very least never use a key YOU don’t control.

That’s odd. I can’t remember the last time I’ve installed USB drivers on Windows. It either works or it doesn’t (like a 75% chance of it working though).

Did something happen or is this just, “Waaaahhh, China baaaaddd!”? It sounds like they actually had better reason to ban TikTok.

If OP has a thrift store nearby it’s pretty likely they can get both for under $30.

It was either questioned by morons or they used a modified version of the tool. Ask it how it feels today and it will tell you it’s just a program!

Which is why I’ve made zero friends on social media.

I’d be amazed if most of the Pi components weren’t from China but feel free to correct me.

Guess the community for some of these is about to get much bigger. I’m not in the market for an SBC but this is a big negative against the Pi.
