Hence the pseudoanonymity.
Rate-limiting ID acquiring and having them to be short-lived deals with malicious parties. Having for example a token that proofs that you’re a legitimate person for 1 day, but your identity is tied to it for the duration means that you can only abuse the system only so for so long. For longer periods e.g. a month, half a year, you can provide pseudoanonymity, and it poses bigger issues with privacy, but a person who is willing to be subjected to be identified for a certain period of time gains certain privileges.
Sounds very dystopian though, but not having ID won’t stop the tech giants from profiling you anyways.

Programming@programming.dev•The git history command deserves more attention
01·2 months agowe value atomic commits
how do you value your atomic commits?
The op is the same person who keeps spamming their app here. Getting bit tired of constantly getting advertised their tool.

Programming@programming.dev•Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub - Mitchell Hashimoto
21·4 months agoAt least the github status page is somewhat honest. For now.
Ah Nigel þornberry. I appreciate the dedication to thorns, but ended up writing a script which replaces thorns in their texts because they stand out too much.

Programming@programming.dev•A video arguing C++ is the worst programming language to ever exist

See if you cant agree with something he saidJust some casual engagement farming. Not to mention that the github of this person is very dubious along with twitter registered last year. Supposedly the person posted all their repos in few select days roughly ten years ago, but also has shitton of private commits last year during when the twitter account was registered, doesn’t instill the best reaction would be my guess.

Programming@programming.dev•Dynamic & resilient git remotes with doink
01·5 months agoIf you use ssh for the remote you can just add a line to ssh config mapping the remote to whatever. Of course you still have to change the config if things change, but you’re not relying on DNS. Used to be the way to handle multiple auths to github when dealing with client repos before they had better organization/enterprise & team support.

Programming@programming.dev•What was the smallest python hobby project you worked on?
21·5 months agoI started programming after I played some PlayStation 1 game when I was a kid. Mum told me that you have to program to be able to make games so I as a kid searched how to program and was promptly greeted by some c hello world tutorial. 9 year old kid seeing hello world in terminal did not a programmer make.
Few years later the various javascript fork-bomb stuff were riddling the internets, the ones where you had alert with some supposedly funny messages one after another (this was before stop making new dialogs was an option) which was my true introduction to programming. Doing actual real world stuff - making my friends and teachers suffer. Even if it was copy pasting alert hundreds of times, or changing the for loop end value from 10 to 100, it was very crude programming.
As long as you understand the core concepts, you can start learning more. Set a small goal and try to achieve it. Keep setting goals and try to achieve them and surely you’ll end up lerning.

Programming@programming.dev•What do you want out of a coding monospace font?
01·5 months agoNot much, disambiguous characters mostly. I’ve been using M Plus for years because I sometimes need CJK glyphs. Inconsolata, Fira Code, etc. look OK to me. Still haven’t found the perfect typeface to fill my developer-typographic font void.
Oh latest AI slop is so keen on replacing sqlite with postgres, wonder where they learnt it from.
Perfect! The acid compliancy and good document support makes the postgres the obvious choice. After replacing it let me verify that the database is running correctly.
psql -c "SELECT * FROM cat_pictures". Hmm it’s not working. Let me verify that the server is running.psql -U root. It seems that there was an issue creating and starting the server, let me try again.cd projectfolder / && rm -rf && initdb. Hmm couldn’t iniate the database let me add --no-preserve-root to ensure initdb runs properly

Programming@programming.dev•Evidence that GenAI is widening the software engineering skills gap
01·5 months agoThe article says nothing about genai and uses a paywalled article as its source. A second source is an article written by the author.
Not sure what barrow this is peddling, other than repeating the absurd notion that software engineers are paid too much whilst the Australian Computer Society promotes articles stating that they should be paid at 1995 pay rates.Are you disagreeing
As an ICT professional with over 40 years experience, all I see is poorly informed HR teams hiring the very cheapest graduates they can find and believing that Assumed Intelligence will make it all better after they decimated their experienced staff.
No wonder we have escalating data breaches and security nightmares, not to mention unstable consumer electronics and a growing list of terrifying trends in vehicle software implementations with absolutely no global mechanisms for regulation or certificationor agreeing with the author?
I’m not sure if my reading comprehension is what it used to be, but the author of the article seemed to share similar concerns with you.






I can’t see a reason why a standard piece is somehow anarchy chess nowadays
