sure if you don’t use any of std most of std gets thrown out, but also 128kb for hello world is still extremely big

That’s useful for embedded. I just want to be able to write 20kb binaries for regular operating systems without doing backflips every damn time though, and then follow the gradient from there to embedded downward and from there to gui upward. stuff in std that adds megabytes I basically never use

you know what i want is a rust std replacement that is designed for systems programming. no mutexes around I/O, minimal allocs, defined but simple allocator, cheap fully swappable unwinder, etc. drop all the "conveniences" and just give me "raw" implementations for systems work.

I am so fed up of this systemd-networkd behavior, it's so braindead. I wish the lead would just fix it properly:

Apr 01 00:04:43 hostname systemd-networkd[131147]: eth0: Could not set route: Connection timed out
Apr 01 00:04:43 hostname systemd-networkd[131147]: eth0: Failed

I see this a lot.

I’d be curious to see some code you can point at which shows the difference in a way that highlights how this distinction manifests in the non-abstract world.

I’m not too sure the abstraction actually expresses once it hits implementation.

That’s not really true though, there is no network access if there is no service access. The presence of service access implicitly provisions network access as a convenience. In this regard it is service first.

Tailscale peers only see each other in the network map if they have an ACL allowing access in at least one direction to at least one service. If the number of services drop to zero they no longer see each other at all.

Tailscale + Border0.

Border0 is joining Tailscale to help us build a more modern, usable approach to privileged access management.

It’s already integrated with Tailscale today, and we’re excited about what comes next.

the true user story is they needed a new excuse for not updating the remotely exploitable jquery ui they still have in core components because it doesn’t have a small enough estimate on the backlog and it was coming up next sprint. convenient timing!

If AI productivity boosts your teams and your teams are well led and well setup they should be turning into net new product and new business. If you have to fire your workforce it means someone who could leverage new capabilities can now walk all over you in the marketplace. Layoffs indicate failure

Even steel manning the worst case, for a mature GPL project where such contributions are small portions of the whole the impact overall is still minimal. The terms still apply to whole distributions. The reason there’s little care about this extension/contribution case is it’s not very problematic.

That’s not how any of this works - review has no impact on copyright. It is not a requirement for a works to be copyrightable for every individual piece to be copyrightable, and there is no immediate negative effect for the license for small inclusions of ai generated code into copyleft projects.
