On windows, I used Mullvad VPN and Qbittorrent. The settings suggested by Rodneyck are also what I used for qbittorrent.

And a tip: if you notice qbittorrent is not downloading your torrents but has lots of seeders and your VPN is connected… try restarting qbittorrent (right click the tray icon and quit) and it should start downloading.

In the battle for Make vs CMake, I would die for Make probably.

Dating is the only thing that’s given me panic attacks in the past… I’m also in my mid-late 20’s and I’ve decided long ago to simply cut my losses and to just enjoy life. I still have people in my life that I love dearly but a romantic partner? I don’t think it’s my thing honestly…

Idempotent code/repositories are great - I love making everything as reproducible as possible. Particularly in make where every ‘all’ type command should have a corresponding ‘clean’ command. Many times I’ll see code bases where they skip defining the ‘clean’ command… or worse, have no ‘all’ command to begin with and rely on the developer knowing all the build and environment setup commands…

Obviously they shouldn’t have used pirated content in this case… but how is the argument that it provides “no new transformative meaning”? Isn’t it pretty self evident that it does? It’s even in the literal name: “generative AI” 🙄

I agree - A lot of people seem so prepared for someone to disagree with them that they seem to misfire on people they agree with. I try to avoid this by starting my comments with “I agree” 😊 … though even then some people still get confused 🫠

Just from reading the article, is the scope just critical software infrastructure? What does that encompass exactly? Banking and military software seems easy to assume - what about embedded medical device software? Or just embedded software in general?

Front right: phone. Maybe keys if what I’m wearing doesn’t have damn belt loops.

Front left: wallet and earbud case. Maybe a pair of sunglasses if I forget that I can can just tuck em into my shirt collar since I’m a dumbass.

Back pockets: nothin’ because I’m not my dad nor a pyschopath.

Bonus: If I’m wearing pajamas with no pockets then I guess it’s all going in my elastic band / undies.

Why November? Is something happening?

I’m surprised how many people feel they can differentiate steam moisture and sweat on their skin.

Not who you replied to, but I think some people would prefer asking with “What are all the different kinds of food you’ve ever eaten?” and then elaborate by saying stuff like “My area has many types of food, but I’ve never seen any Egyptian restaurants/places around before.” or something like that.
