I'm just curious, how would the curl development changed if major corporations started supporting it? Let's say, what curl would look like if it had 1 million, 100 million, 1 billion dollar annual budget coming from donations?
@3timeslazy I think two primary benefits: we would be able to pay more developers (increased bus factor and more) and curl would have a higher chance of existing multiple years into the future.
The number of lines of code in #curl has of course exploded over time, from 100 in late 1996 to almost 180,000 today, but interestingly our tests seem to generally keep up. Number of tests per KLOC is now over 12. (and yes, a single test can be very simple or very complex, it's not a very precise measurement)
i do wonder if the test styles in use aren't keeping up with catching unknown unknowns introduced by ongoing development though: myself and my colleagues on the lix project has spent weeks chasing down three separate bugs in curl since the start of this year (two of which were iirc regressions) relating to various misbehavior related to http/2 and stream pauses. i suspect we simply exercise that feature far more than either anyone else or the test suite.
i wonder if some sort of generative property tests (maybe using a grammar to give possible actions of the server and curl user which are then selected at random) is necessary to reduce the number and severity of state machine bugs reaching users. or maybe doing this genre of property testing with antithesis.com.
@leftpaddotpy of course there can always be more and better testing. I'm not suggesting that our test suite is close to "complete". We always appreciate help!

What syntax makes most sense to you for drawing two solid borders around a box, a 1px white on the inside and a 1px black on the outside? Pic for reference in next tweet.
A) border: 1px solid white, 1px solid black;
B) border: 2px solid stripes(white, black);
C) border-width: 2px; border-style: solid; border-color: white, black; /* or black, white */
(we’re trying to decide syntax, not order, so try to ignore the order if black first makes more sense to you)
i build safety/accessibility tools and honestly should probably talk to someone who knows digital rights law. need guidance on doing this work across different places (US/EU/Australia).
Mastodon 4.5 is set to launch this week and there's something you should know:
All you need to quote a toot is to paste the link of said toot. Or, of course, you can use the boost button and select "Quote".
Měl jsem za to, že SPZ začínající na EL jsou vyhrazeny elektromobilům, ale právě jsem před sebou viděl čoudící VW Passat s touto SPZ. Životní jistoty skončily!
záleží myslím na tom, kolik písmen nebo číslic ta značka má. Můžeš mít vlastní text na SPZ, ale myslím, že musí být potom delší než automaticky získané číslo, alespoň o jeden znak. To by měl být snad jediný legální způsob, jak začínat EL u spalovacího motoru.
@pemensik Ve výfuku se kondenzuje voda a pak z něj může jít pára. Běžně se to děje ráno v tomhle počasí. Takže kouř jako takový ještě nic neznamená. Jen jestli to byl plug-in hybrid, tak ten ve výchozím stavu nenechá motor běžet, když stojí nebo jede pomalu někde ve městě. Ale to jen teoretizujeme 🙂
@bycx @pemensik plugin hybrid je spalovák s malou baterií. Typicky ti to dovolí jet tak 50 km jen na elektro, takže by to mělo pomoct s emisemi ve městech, ale to by ta baterie musela být nabitá. Teď se řešila studie, podle které majitelé v reálném provozu na baterii skoro nejezdí, protože ji nenabíjejí. Když není nabitá, tak to sice rekuperuje a může to trochu pomáhat při rozjíždění, ale jinak je to spalovák se vším všudy, který může i čoudit, pokud nemá z nějakého důvodu dobré spalování. Podle výpočtů auromobilek měly být plugin hybridy někde na 30 % emisí spalováků, v reálném provozu jsou na 80 %. Podle mě to je slepá ulička a jen umělý pokus, jak si snížit fleetové emise. Asi jako u start-stop, kde si automobilky vyfabulovaly, že to ušetří 5 % paliva a reálně to bylo tak 1 %. Ale fleetové emise se nepočítají z reality, ale z toho, co mají na papíře. Takže jim to posloužilo.
O té studii jsem četl. Za mě to je slepá cesta, ale lidi to asi nějak chtějí.
Problém plug-in hybridů je, že jsou na trhu v celé škále kvalit. Třeba SuperB se třemi spojkami a 13 kWh baterií, který běžnou jízdou bere 5l+7kWh na 100 km a 11l na 100 v režimu nabíjení baterie, kdy ale spalovací motor baterii přímo nenabíjí, jen se stará o veškerý pohyb. Takové auto nemá smysl nabíjet i přes tu spotřebu.
Škodovka konečně elektrifikuje. Najednou uvedla první elektromobil – čistě elektrické Citigo – a první plug-in hybrid – vlajkovou loď Superb. Jaká je s kombinací elektřiny a benzinu, jsme zjišťovali v tradičním testu.
Something very important to know in your threat model if you use Tor Browser on Windows:
By default it installs to your Desktop folder, which is by default mirrored to OneDrive at Microsoft. Microsoft has access to your OneDrive content for cybersecurity analysis via privacy carve outs. The Tor folder contains sensitive content.
It's been said before a dozen times in a dozen ways, but corporations taking away *ownership* of internet spaces is why technology is kind of going to shit.
People used to have hand-crafted blogs and build well-structured forums, and they gave it all up for a feudalist system of Facebook Groups, Subreddits, and Discord 'servers.' I'm so happy tech like Ghost and Mastodon is changing the tides here, I only wish we could speed it up further 🙂
Well done, Voip.MS! This from an Email I just received about a pricing change. Based on your last month’s payment $0.00, your new total monthly payment will be, $0.00.
@BorrisInABox Yeah it's not looking good. I might have to make the difficult decision to part with my beloved collection of empty toilet paper rolls and toothpaste tubes.
@Bri @BorrisInABox Nah what I think I'll do is unwind all the tape, then sell the rest of the cassette components. Though each cassette will be missing a different critical component. Then I'll sell the remaining components to a different buyer.
Holy shit the old guys next to me on the train have a book of stamps of all the stops on the Pyongyang train system and they’re looking at all the stops he had visited
Never hit a "skip this version" as hard as I just hit the option in the software update popup for the software I am currently using to write the very last chapter of my complex book project
The good news: Projet Montréal is get their ass handed to them. The bad news: it's Ensemble Montréal which is the party of Tremblay and then Coderre. And the one with the most right-wing program (so much dog whistling) is number 3....
I don't know what this means, but I'm noticing an asymmetry in terms of how I think about the way I relate to organizations. If I'm feeling burnt out and want to step back from an organization that I'm involved with, but the organization doesn't seem particularly strong at the moment, and I don't think that there are enough people who would step up to replace me, then I'll feel like I'm being selfish; the organization needs me. But, if I'd never joined in the first place, and the organization didn't seem particularly strong at the moment, then I'm not sure I'd feel that the organization needed me and, therefore, that I had an obligation to join.
Consider this: if you're feeling burned out, and see nobody around who can replace you, these observations may be related.
Now this: if the organization has given you benefit, have you given it benefit? If so, you've paid your way.
It may be time to move on; if the organization stumbles or fails without you, maybe it's come to that place in its life.
I've personal experience.I stayed on and served, way too long in two volunteer gigs: one 25 years, one 33. When I walked away, there just wasn't enough energy left. It took me too long to notice. But that was years ago.
Now I'm looking at closing down, or maybe reconfiguring, a business I've run for much longer. Am I providing an important service that people want? What will it cost me and pay me? I'm mulling this over.
I am all for the Finnish approach where fines are in days of income. (This year or the average of the last five tax years, whichever is higher, as I understand it. It'd need some provision for being driven and the asset-rich no-income sorts.)
So it's not some fixed amount of dollars for speeding; it's n days gross income. (2.5 days = 1 percent by convention.) So if you speed in the school zone it's five days, sort of thing.
There is no part in our transit failure that require to have mega trucks in the city street (Le camion le plus vendu au pays), or 300+HP cars to compensate for toxic masculinity.
In case you didn't get it I drive more than I take transit (mostly because I don't commute, nor do I go dowtown, as in that case I do take the metro). But I'm full on being pro transit. And for safe cycling.
There are lots of reasons some people need bigger cars. They have more children, then need it for work, they don't want to get killed when the STM driver slams into them, and so on...
Personally I own a very small car. Yes we should tackle those issues, but it's just more of a money grab when we can't even stop wasting money and solve a simple transit problem in our corrupt city.
The spaces we make don't have to last forever to be successful and do good. Just like any relationship being good or not is not predicated on how long it lasts.
Create a space, use the software that makes sense to you right now, it doesn't have to be forever. Be ephemeral!
All I know is that the PC I just got has Windows 11 and a local admin user and I was able to uninstall copilot and one drive. I haven't had to login with any Microsoft account for anything
