Re:WTF Ubuntu? on Monday November 02, 2026 @10:57AM (#50338641)
I have fond memories of burning Ubuntu to a CD being my first introduction to Linux. I chose to preserve those cherished memories rather than sully them through actually using Ubuntu.

Apple can fix this by building curl with SecTrust [1].

Re:Don't Put Tilde In Your Path on Sunday October 11, 2026 @02:02PM (#50045963)
You can just do:

  PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH
PATH is already exported. Quotes are also not necessary for assignments.
Re:Coding Is Not Solved on Monday September 28, 2026 @11:09AM (#49879280)
From the authors of "coding is solved": Today, a colleague trying to run Claude Code ran into an issue where it shows the Bun help menu instead [1]. Previously, Claude Code uninstalled itself several times when I used it. [2]

Cloudflare has definitely gone all-in on slop.

I would think it's a phishing site with that word mark.

Yup. This was so jarring to read. Shame.

Any guesses on how long this lasts?

Re:You probably don't need Oh My Zsh on Saturday January 10, 2026 @02:31AM (#46563622)
My zsh config has three things:

    setopt PROMPT_SUBST ; PS1='[%n@%m %c$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '
    bindkey "^R" history-incremental-search-backward
    autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
The first one is mentioned in `git-prompt.sh` that comes with git, which needs to be sourced as well.

Author here. Thanks for sharing this. It seems they released an updated version of this analysis last year [1]. It matches what I saw when analyzing the IPA. I tried to do a deeper analysis on the code itself using several tools, including Google's own bloaty [2] which was not very useful without symbols, classdumpios [3] which revealed something like 50k interfaces starting with "ComGoogle", and Ghidra [4], which I left running for a day to analyze the binary, but kept hanging and freezing so I gave up on it. Perhaps comparing the Android and iOS code could lead to something more fruitful.
