This is especially so for a security-critical application such as KeePassXC that enables people around the world to protect their most sensitive information. As such, we have implemented a robust quality control process that ensures all code merged into production is thoroughly reviewed, tested, and signed off on. Recently, we changed our contribution policy and readme to address code created by Generative AI by adding the following paragraph: “Generative…
🔥 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: 📌 Key idea: Pipeflow is a lightweight pipeline engine for PHP applications. It lets you describe complex automations as a sequence of small, reusable processing steps called stages. The real superpower is that the entire flow can be expressed in a clear XML format that is easy to read, visualise, and reason about—so even non-developers can review, maintain, and update automations without touching PHP code (but you can also configure the pipelines via hard coded php code). Each stage receives a shared context, performs a focused unit of work,…

✨ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: ✅ Key idea: Description When using the systemd cgroup driver with a CPU limit of 4096m, pod creation fails intermittently because containerd non-deterministically calculates either 409600 or 410000 microseconds for the parent cgroup, while runc consistently calculates 410000 for child cgroups. When they mismatch, the Linux kernel rejects the child cgroup creation with "invalid argument". Root Cause Investigation reveals non-deterministic behavior in containerd when converting 4096m to microseconds: Containerd (when creating pod sandbox) - INCONSISTENT: Sometimes calculates: 4096m → 409600 microseconds (correct: 4096 / 1000 * 100000) Sometimes…

Per ChatGPT: due to C's broader appeal, standardization, and support ecosystem likely contributed to its greater adoption and use in mainstream computing. So, the question is, how to encourage today's world of C programmers to take a look at Forth. How do we convince them that Forth can be 10 times more productive? Well, we do know that by keep saying how…

The answer is yes, if we believe the results of a measurable scientific research of this catastrophe, which was recently published in the journal Neurology. The paper, by Ka-Ho Wong and colleagues, is a data-rich examination of 4.5 million survey responses.
