Advanced bayesian estimations show that the risks of a nuclear plant that is not yet operational are very low. And the chance that they will still be employed at microsoft (after the bubble pops) by 2028 is exceedingly low, reducing effective risk significantly !
to be even more pedantic, if we follow the relevant official RFCs for http (formerly 2616, but now 7230-7235 which have relevant changes), a 403 can substitute for a 401, but a 401 has specific requirements:
The server generating a 401 response MUST send a WWW-Authenticate header field (Section 4.1) containing at least one challenge applicable to the target resource.
(the old 2616 said 403 must not respond with a request for authentication but the new versions don’t seem to mention that)
The same comment touches on several topics, replying to 2 different people. These two statements being in the same comment is not evidence of them being about the same thing, and if the author expected readers to get that from it, it is absolutely the author’s fault if their words got misinterpreted.
And in the next paragraph:
We importantly chose not to call anyone out by name in the there because our expectations aren’t about one person. All of us need to be aware of what is and isn’t okay and a lot of people were involved in the problematic threads, even if Tim, as self-identified here, was one big part
Again referring to multiple people.
It’s clearly referring to people in the plural. If the person on the council most vocally defending the council’s decision to suspend can’t say it in a reasonably straightforward manner, the simpler explanation is that that is not what they are talking about.
If you read it carefully, Smith doesn’t make any claim that anyone complained about Peter’s conduct. It’s speaking in general terms about the behavior of unnamed persons.
half of them just from the description are very obvious “we couldn’t get enough examples of bad behavior on him so we had a brainstorming session of imaginary slights”
Rules of thumb can be very useful for a relatively inexperienced programmer, and once you understand why they exist you can choose to ignore them when they would get in the way. Clean Code is totally unhinged though
Actually I think he has already had an adequate amount of recognition:
“In 1999, Red Hat and VA Linux, both leading developers of Linux-based software, presented Torvalds with stock options in gratitude for his creation.[29] That year both companies went public and Torvalds’s share value briefly shot up to about US$20 million”
his autobiography is in several hundred library collections worldwide
Awards he’s received:
2 honorary doctorates
2 celestial objects named after him
Lovelace Medal
IEEE Computer Pioneer Award
EFF Pioneer Award
Vollum Award
Hall of Fellows of the Computer History Museum
C&C prize
Millenium Technology Prize
Internet Hall of Fame
IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award
Great Immigrants Award

like everything in python, to achieve functional you must first import functional
for a large project, you can probably look at the history of issues, if there are lots of issues that are 5 years old, it’s almost certainly legit
All 9k stars, 10k PRs, 400 forks & professional web site are fake?
Technically, it is entirely possible to find a real existing project, make a carbon copy of the website (there are automated tools to accomplish this), then have a massive amount of bots give 9K stars and make a lot of PRs, issues and forks (bonus points if these are also copies of actual existing issues/PRs) and generate a fake commit history (this should be entirely possible with git), a bunch of releases could be quickly generated too. Though you would probably be able to notice pretty quickly that timestamps don’t match since I don’t think github features like issues can have fake timestamps (unlike git)
though I don’t think this has ever actually been done, there are services that claim to sell not only stars but issues, pull requests and forks too. Though assuming the service is not just a scam in itself, any cursory look at the contents of the issues etc would probably give away that they are AI generated
looks like work on the android client started in 2011 (or at least, that’s when it seemingly started using version control)
the app was released in 2014
so it has likely inherited decisions from ~14 years ago, I’d guess there is a several year gap where having a native desktop app was not even a concern
Also the smartphone landscape was totally different back then, QT’s android support back then was in alpha (or totally nonexistent if the signal project is a bit older than the github repository makes it seem), and the average smartphone had extremely weak processing power and a tiny screen resolution by today’s standards. Making the same gui function on both desktop and mobile was probably a pretty ridiculous proposition.
monospace means the width of the “whole” character is always the same, but the width of the visible part of the character is not (imagine how large the dot would have to be for that to work)
