Of all the things I have seen “die” in programming since I started in 1998, the one I lament the most is the death of education and training. The grifters cashed in via scummy bootcamps and ripoff courses. Now search has been ruined for quarterly profits and folks are blindly trusting ChatGepetto to give them correct answers. It’s a fucking mess and the people who need to care won’t because they are contemptuous of us all.

There are currently no accepted means by which openness can be validated for AI, yet many organizations are claiming their AI to be “Open Source.” Just as the Open Source Definition serves as the globally accepted standard for Open Source software, so will the Open Source AI Definition act as a standard for openness in AI systems and their components. https://opensource.org/blog/the-open-source-ai-definition-gets-closer-to-reality-with-a-global-workshop-series

Feminists taught me that Mad Max Fury Road is not a feminist movie. I get that.

Fury Road was just an action movie where the violent protagonist was a woman with a visible disability, instead of an able bodied man. I get that.

But I still enjoy the fact that George Miller looked at all the dudes that got angry that a woman was the star of a Mad Max movie, and said "Cry about it!" and doubled down.

I am so watching this.

@mekkaokereke I'm not qualified to determine whether or not FURY ROAD was feminist, but it's worth noting that Miller hired Vagina Monologues' creator Eve Ensler to ground the Wives' experience and help the actors find their way to and through the characters. https://lithub.com/how-eve-ensler-shaped-the-five-wives-of-mad-max-fury-road/

Beowulf is pretty wild, and I haven't even gotten to the fight with Grendel yet. Beowulf has just shown up and is like Hey this Grendel character? I'm gonna waste his ass for you. And then Unferth is like Pshaw! You can't even swim good, Bro! Breca totally crushed you in that swimming contest. And Beowulf is like Really? You want to go there? Sorry I was too busy slaying NINE sea monsters to worry about winning some stupid little race, and by the way I was swimming in full armor and carrying a sword, but you're welcome for the steep decline in sea monster attacks lately. Do you even slay, Bro? Oh wait l, what am I saying, if you were even halfway decent at slaying then I wouldn't have to come here with all my Geat bros to save your sorry ass! And Unferth just sits there in silence because what are you gonna say after having been so thoroughly owned?

During lunch a friend mentioned that you can just supply a HTTP URL to vim on the command line and it would use curl to download that resource and allow you to edit the content. I jokingly asked whether if you enter :w it would then issue a HTTP POST back to the origin which is of course ridiculous.

It issues a PUT

Other protocols are also possible, e.g. you can edit files via scp

vim scp://user@remoteserver.example.org//home/user/remotefile.txt

Any time I see "bad" code, the first answer is usually "you need more precise and strict types."

Often there's other stuff wrong, but easily 70% of the time, the fix starts with "define the problem better and the problem goes away."

One of the Matrix developers saw fit to comment on my gist https://gist.github.com/soatok/8aef6f67fec9c702f510ee24d19ef92b?permalink_comment_id=5058644#gistcomment-5058644

In response, I actually looked at their code, identified two security vulnerabilities, and disclosed them to their security@ email.

This reaffirms the opinion I held previously.

ramsey, to Symfony

Why does define what appears to be a “real” value for APP_SECRET in the .env file that’s committed to your repository, and then, right above it, there’s a comment that says (in all caps):

“DO NOT DEFINE PRODUCTION SECRETS IN THIS FILE NOR IN ANY OTHER COMMITTED FILES.”

Where’s the documentation that explains what APP_SECRET is used for? Why doesn't it put this value in .env.local (ignored by .gitignore)?

@ramsey yeah, that is weirdly hard to track down :S

Symfony does have some oddities.
