Oracle's weird null behaviour is that there is no empty string, so ('' IS NULL) is a true statement in Oracle.

Redesigned by whom? Given how bad your LLM was at bugfixing in the releases tested by Jepsen, I would expect the redesigned version to bring back all those bugs and then some.

Windows is continuously developed, and many parts of it changed very little between XP and 11. Not going to happen.

Is it really that useful if you need to test on real hardware anyway?

And the remaining 5% are unpatched Joomla and Drupal installs.

I'm not sure what's Gopher-specific in this article. While HTTP is more complicated and more capable, it is still something a human can understand, and it is still possible to make a HTTP request using nothing but netcat.

Omarchy is just Arch + config + slop + fascism, you can just build your own desktop, and you can skip the last two.

I guess slop machines can't do that, or are prevented by auto mode.

So it's just GPT's vague memories of Picasa? Vibe coders have no shame.

Is it really?

First commit (by Claude Opus 5.5) is from October 1st, and it's very empty: https://sourceforge.net/p/zac-os-9/code/ci/eddaec8ab21df697a...

Second commit, seven minutes later: https://sourceforge.net/p/zac-os-9/code/ci/3784bf686346ca228...

Third commit, 14 minutes later: https://sourceforge.net/p/zac-os-9/code/ci/4f2a87efd6a00592a...

If the code existed earlier, would Claude take 14 minutes to commit it? Would Claude make changes to files instead of committing the final version from the start?

The use of Sourceforge might trick you into thinking it's an ancient project built by a human, but nah, it's a month-old slopfest. Yawn.

If DHH disapproves of something, you know it must be good.

The community of people fluent in Rust who care about Python packaging and who are not Astral employees is tiny.

Don't worry, they'll find a way to enshittify the product at one point. uv went from being a VC-funded tool written in another language (i.e., with a limited contributor pool) to being an AI bubble-funded tool, so it's not something I'd trust would be maintained for a long time.

A LLM produced tons of irrelevant slop and you're expecting other humans to read it.

If you're going to fully delegate something so trivial as Dockerfiles to slopmachines, why go to university at all? You don't need to learn anything if you delegate everything to the slopmachine.

It might have been little-known in your corner of the world, but I understand it's definitely not little-known in India.

You might have heard of DigiCert or IdenTrust, but what, exactly, makes them trustworthy, and why eMudhra wouldn't be considered trustworthy (a week ago)?

If they hadn't done that, I would have expected the browsers to do it for them sooner or later by distrusting their root certs.

There are lots of people who have underwent a lobotomy since discovering slop machines and have delegated literally all their work to them, so much so that calling `php --version` is too much for them.

People stuck working at companies with slop machine usage mandates will appreciate that skill too.

The slop machine can backport the fix to PHP 5, or make your code compatible with PHP 8.

They might be foreign to you, but your favorite CA is foreign to Indians.

That's a brand new excuse, Apple refused to distribute GPLv3 when GPLv3 was first published, 20ish years ago. How is GPLv3 incompatible with their system volume, yet GPLv2 is still fine?

Great, I'm going to get a check for $0.01! Totally worth the millions the lawyers will get.

I wouldn't look as far as cultural dominance. If you're abroad and in an emergency, you're just going to dial the number you remember from your home country on autopilot, and there's no good reason not to support that if the number isn't already taken for something else.

I'm pretty sure Paint has been rewritten at least once, if not twice, since Windows 95. Windows 7's Paint was much more advanced, with far more options. The current one in Windows 11 definitely has a new UI, although the underlying code might be the same.

A reliable sign of AI writing is the middot in the tool's output. But that is to be expected, given the tool's author.

iOS 27 came out a month ago, and 27.2 is currently in beta, so buying this device does require being on the bleeding edge.

The HomeView has a 1:1 display, the Duo has 1:1.4 displays. Not really similar. Although I would expect any devs (had there been a SDK) to start with their iPad apps, which are expected to adapt to different window sizes.

If you're on a Mac, `say -f book.txt -o book.aiff`, no API keys required.

Dock on the bottom can move between displays. Dock on the left/right is stuck on the leftmost/rightmost display, which can be annoying if you regularly switch between laptop-only and laptop-plus-external-displays layouts.
