Please, literally anyone would be better. Absorb us

No lol, I just ran into my current finance while on a random date with coke girl. Ditched that date to go talk about trade unions

Same, I left a date with a girl who kept doing coke in the bathroom to talk about Appalachian mining unions and the Textile workers strike with her 8 years ago

It’s edited in lol

Write what you know

It’s definitely a nod to Stallman in the books, there’s a good overlap between Linux nerds and Discworld nerds lol

Again, this is all a power play by them. When Trump collapses, they’re the only ones that will be able to seek power. The rest of the Republican party is comprised of spinless Trump yes men. Meaning Trump failing collapses their whole thing.

Carlson and Owens are positioning themselves as the next party leaders

The Clacks towers are a sort of proto internet in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. In that world, prefixing a message with GNU and sending on the “Overhead” (a message meant to be internal to the network) means it is just passed along and not logged.

The HTTP protocol allows for any headers to be sent in responses. These headers are ignored unless they serve a purpose (User-Agent, Bearer, Host, etc.) this is a way for you to embed a “GNU <name>” message in your website/email headers as a way to silently remember someone (in this case the Author of Discworld).

If you go to debian.org and hit f-12, and look at the response headers, you’ll see one called “X-Clacks-Overhead” with the value “Terry Pratchett”

They usually have these at rest stops on highways in America, pretty convenient for road trips and such and I trust the state to actually keep them properly stocked.

It’s mainly for the truckers that have to sleep there

I’ll use the Desktop at work as a sort of poor man’s kanban since most projects live in directories. For anything that’s managed through git, I don’t care where it ends up

It does appear to be refrigerated, but still…

“AI” being shorthand for “Actual Indians” once again.

The companies that don’t realize you just pretend to be migrating to LLM development while laying off workers to hire cheaper labor in other countries are gonna tank.

It’s so much more costly to run development on a massive super cluster than to just have a room of 10 developers somewhere in Bangaldesh bash out some working code in a day.

The other thing is that we’re seeing unprecedented levels of slop being pushed out to production codebases. Codebases that are gonna become the backbone of companies for decades to come. Someone will have to one day be able to understand the slop and fix it.

Looking at the API that fetched the candidate information, the researchers noticed that it contained an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) weakness, exposing an ID parameter that appeared to be the order number for the applicant. For the researchers’ application, that ID was 64,185,742.

This is super common. They are securing the thing that sends you the endpoint for the record, but not the API for getting the records themselves.

It’s kinda like saying “hey, the key to your room is in the box labeled 10” so you go to that box and grab your key. But you notice that there are boxes on the left and right of box 10, and those boxes contain the keys to other rooms.

No one ever told you that boxes 9 and 11 exist (the modicum of “security” the API provided), but all it takes to find them is knowing that you have a box and there was probably someone who got a box before you and after you.

It means they’re just incrementing the id by one for each record, you could get a little bit better using a GUID that isn’t sequential, but really you should only allow access to that record if someone has a valid credential.

In this specific situation it seems that they did have auth, but they left the testing store accessible with default admin passwords (123456) and that testing admin could then be used to access literally everything else.

This is why programmers frequently end up in the weird conservative/liberal camp. It’s the closest to ‘if you can dream it you can do it’ anyone can get while still laboring.

That’s also why these same people are obsessed with AI, because even the relatively simple labor of programming is too much for them

He has a whole book titled “Value, Price, and Profit” more of a pamphlet, but it’s still longer than anything this goober would read

It’s honestly barely an SUV by American standards, looks like a crossover

That’s always been the goal. You kneecap a public service, convince people that it sucks and needs to be privatized, then firesale the assets to a company you own

Hey, they just built the perfect place to put them
