Funny, I've been having a lot of problems with Mullvad DNS so I just switched to Quad9.

Ignoring my previous beef with PVS-Studio and the crappy AI-generated image...

I think the post is not entirely on the wrong track — dependencies can get pretty ridiculous, but some of the points he (or the AI?) makes are bizarre. I mean, recommending WinAPI over something "non-portable"? I guess there's always Wine, but I am genuinely curious about what crappy libraries he's using that are less portable than WinAPI. Also, you could argue most of the points he makes apply to code whether it's a library or not (for example, compiler compatibility and vulnerability patching). The best point he makes is the one about potential license changes, but even then, the example he gives is softfloat, which went from a hand-written permissive license to BSD, which if anything, made it more permissive.

My best guess is either it's a crappy AI-written article or his points only apply to whatever niche he specializes in.

So they used a distributed cache for a library that didn't need to be distributed, switched, and then profiled it for fun? It sounds like they might not even need SQLite, it could be accomplished in a few data structures.

Basic etiquette, you'd probably want to ask the university portal maintainer.

Scraping is generally considered bad manners, and yes you would be immediately blocked if you ignore robots.txt. I assume by OAI you mean OpenAI? I'm unsure what kind of integration your university has, but like with many AI integrations, there is little oversight, which leads to... oversights.

You didn't mention RetroArch, have you had any issues with that one? I know people have opinions on it, but it's always worked for me.

So, to start off, I'm someone who does not typically perform well during interviews because of anxiety (but through some miracle has had no issues with employment), so take this response with whatever bias that brings.

I believe this is bad too. You're still essentially asking a gotcha question, expecting one phrase in your answer and failing the candidate if you don't hear that phrase. And, in fact, I disagree with the premise. I think the question is defined quite well in the context of programming, given that someone answers with the possibility that there are many ways to hash something and many uses of hashing.

Don't want to get the project owner in trouble, but I think there is room for simply moving the project's jurisdiction, changing hands, and renaming the project.

Honestly, is anyone of value still on Twitter? Everyone I known has left. I don't think I've ever needed to view something on there in the past few years.

Oh, that's totally fair to call out, but to be honest, I didn't understand what you meant the first time.

It's a valid question that created a lot of interesting answers. When you shut down questions like these, people go elsewhere to ask these questions and get racist answers.

My cynical opinion is that middle management are very good salesmen at convincing their bosses of their worth, and engineers are not. Lies are worth more than reality to upper management.

Last time In played LttP (I played the GBA version to mix it up) I missed the cave that shows up when you hit all the pegs in the dark world version of the blacksmith area.

Also didn't watch the video. I don't think the answer is necessarily "no", but more of a "probably not". We don't know for sure what Pegasus is capable of. GrapheneOS is much more difficult to exploit, however. But 100%, if you install a spyware app on your phone and give it permission to spy, it will spy.
