MDN’s AI Help can’t critically examine training data’s gaps, biases, and unrelated topics. It’s a useful demonstration of LLMs’ uncorrectable lucid lies.
i did not even know that then again i don't even look at anything related to ladybird or servo this kind of just flooded onto my timeline through boosts
I think the more worrying part is that ladybird is also allowing AI into their project. but it's more like "AI kinda sucks and writes bad code but if it helps you without ruining the project than sure" than an outright approval that servo is trying to do.

@ratcatcher Not at the moment. Our comms team is really small, but we'll get this feedback back to the team to see if it could be an option in the future!
Merci beaucoup de vous être inscrits pour recevoir les mises à jour et de nous avoir fait part de la nouvelle ! Nous sommes heureux que vous soyez aussi enthousiastes que nous ! 🎉
I love your service. It is a real lifesaver. I struggle to pay the $10 a month as a poor Franciscan, but sadly in the USA, I need such a service. Keep up the good work!
The Chaos Computer Club, Europe‘s largest community of #hackers, has released a declaration on what is incompatible with the club’s values: “Those who aim to destroy coexistence in society and work toward an alternative society with principles based on chauvinism and nationalism are working against the moral principles that unite us as a club.
The CCC declares representing racism and fascism (…) to be incompatible with a membership in our ranks.”
With the growing movement to boycott US goods, more people are choosing European alternatives. Let’s take a look at the best European products you can use.
I just dumped my US anti virus and gone for a German one instead...its seems very efficient and less intrusive as the US app. plus a different nonUS browser. I'd dump Google if it didn't mean getting rid of a long standing email address linked to so many accounts?
@Stepland there are details that I dislike and regret having done, but they are actually all quite minor. I'm generally happy with most of what we have done and how it was done.
@icing @catsalad Haha, that's an excellent point. I would defer to either of you on what "basic" even means.
I think something that's often underappreciated is how complex modern HTTP is. I think if I had TLS libraries and only needed to implement HTTP/1.0, three days would not be enough, especially if I was doing it in C, since I don't work with it regularly. (I would probably need three days just to debug my segfaulting code.)
There's a lot of plumbing involved in making stuff work

Learn using BigBlueButton, the trusted open-source web conferencing solution that enables seamless virtual collaboration and online learning experiences.
On that note - if a company is basing a commercial product heavy on open source project(s), what's the best way to give back? Money or co-maintainers/contributions.
(Of course this is different between projects, but somehow generalized like your slide for the most common case)
@troed I think the generalized answer would be: "in the way the project wants it". Slightly larger/mature ones might think accepting sponsorships/money is the better take, while smaller ones in many cases rather prefer code/helping-hands.
depending on the message you want to send, you should add "*: One is very close to None". Also, are you sure that active OSS projects outnumber abandoned ones?
Please join us for curl yearly conference in Prague, Czechia - github.com/curl/curl-up/wiki/2… - we talk about network protocols, curl, libcurl, http and all things puters ... and much more - feel free to register and come and meet the team and discuss what you might want in future versions of curl/libcurl.
Collected quotes and snippets from people publicly sneezing off or belittling what curl is, explaining how easy it would be to make a replacement in no time with no effort or generally not being very helpful. These are statements made seriously.
well, it doesn't mention on which planet the 3 days are counted. I'm fairly certain there is a planet in our universe with days long enough for curl to be written in a fraction of one.
I think a lot of people like this have no idea that the way you implement http isn't by typing `import "http";` ... They forget that all the gazillion libraries they import to write their little project are actually written by someone at some point, and that making those libraries and those tools so simple that you forget they are even there is what the real art of programming is about.
THis is lengthy, but let's fact-check the business incompetence, blatent innumeracy and the false pretences behind the Trump's tariffs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffs_…. Even ChatGPT got a mention! :)
It is a somewhat common question to me: how do we write C in curl to make it safe and secure for billions of installations? Some precautions we take and decisions we make. There is no silver bullet, just guidelines.
@daniel:// stenberg:// Nice and sensible rules. I particularly like the focus on readable code. I think a lot of mistakes (in any language) comes from trying to be too clever, or weird tricks to "optimize" the code.
@harald I think I did a lot of that in my younger years as well. Coming back to and making sense of your own code 10-20 years later can be a humbling experience.
"Curl is one of the very few projects I managed to contribute to with a very simple PR.
At the time, I was a bit lost with their custom testing framework, but was very impressed by the ease of contributing to one of the most successful open-source project out there."
@0xDEADBEEF they're not. We've talked about it briefly, but the amount of extra work that will bring is not insignificant so it has not happened yet at least.
That is a lot of good advice in an easy-to-read, compact form. I will definitely recommend it to my students, too. Thank you a lot – also for curl, on this occasion! 🙂
sscanf() can indeed have some weird and surprising behavior!
For instance, a while back, a fuzzer timed out on a sscanf("%d", ...), while looking for a space, and I ended up writing a workaround: github.com/lpereira/lwan/blob/…
(More important parts of the code aren't using this function anymore.)
Мне часто задают такой вопрос: как мы пишем на C код для curl, чтобы он был безопасным и надёжным в миллиардах установок? Мы предпринимаем определённые меры и пр...
Před deseti lety začal cestujícím sloužit nový úsek metra V.A Otevřen byl na Velikonoce dne 6. dubna 2015. Síť metra se tak rozrostla na 61 stanic a délku 65,4 km. Jízdní doba z Depa Hostivař do Nemocnice Motol je přibližně 31 minut, délka 17,13 km a počet stanic na lince A je 17. Zpočátku jezdil v novém úseku pouze každý druhý vlak, jinak se končilo na Dejvické. Později bylo posunuto pásmování do nové stanice Petřiny a pak zcela zrušeno. Od té doby se zatím metro nerozšířilo.

The Oklahoman - US Senator Markwayne Mullin suggests shooting reporters would be one way to cut down on the frequency of “fake news” stories. oklahoman.com/story/news/2025/…
On this date, Charles Kincaid, a newspaper correspondent, fatally shot former Congressman William Taulbee of Kentucky. The two men had a volatile history which began in 1887 when Kincaid wrote a story implicating Taulbee in an extramarital affair.

Houston oil companies are trimming jobs to weather the storm. It remains unclear how far prices will fall, but they’re already battening down the hatches.
the US administration is ignoring Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers & possibly even looking to relax sanctions depending on the day. and nothing has come yet of possible restrictions on Iranian output
meanwhile Trump's tariffs have crushed the demand forecast for oil *and* sent the price of steel pipe into the stratosphere
oil industry profitability really facing pressure from all sides
was going through some old old mastodon favorites that I accumulated since late 2023, and I came across this gem. Today I learned: TIL a classical work described as "Ode to Internet - V.90 56k dialup modem handshake for orchestra" was composited from a July 27, 1996 performance with the Monteverdi Choir and L’Orchestre Revolutionaire et Romantique, conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner at Avery Fisher Hall.

Storm Dragon pushed changes to the master branch of the I38 project Reworked the panel. Now it's a mode, like ratpoison mode. New items include panel mode w for weather, and panel mode s for system information. More coming if this turns out to work well. New dependencies added to readme.
HTTP/1.1 Pipelining is the protocol feature where the client sends off a second HTTP/1.1 request already before the answer to the previous request has arrived (completely) from the server. It is defined in the original HTTP/1.
I implemented HTTP pipelining for Safari and Mobile Safari in the 2000’s. It was very tricky to get right, had to aggressively fall back when errors were detected and I’m not sure if it’s still on anymore. Seems like it’s just straight not needed with QUIC right?
Unser Team auf Arbeit "braucht" ein neues Logo, und ich bin mir ernsthaft am überlegen, dieses knuffige Wesen hier (Eine Packratte) in den Ring zu werfen.
Das Problem: ich kenne das noch von Libera, ich bin dann enttäuscht, wenn das von den Kollegen zerrissen wird.
The creator-economy service Gumroad decided to open-source its platform at a suspiciously convenient time. (And even “open source” might be stretching it.)
No, because this division between "criminals" and "law abiding citizens" implies it's okay to deport criminals to a concentration camp. And that's exactly what racists and fascists use to remove civil rights: first from those they deem "criminals," like students protesting are now labelled terrorists. Due process , whatever little there is in the USA, for all or it's due process for none.
