Yes Snap is the bane of my existence. I actually had to create an ansible playbook for work that permanently removes the snap version of Firefox and then installs the official apt from Mozilla’s PPA. And on top I install other things my teams needs like VSCode and Chromium without using snaps. A nice repeatable process I wish I didn’t have to create but when certain clients insist on Ubuntu there is not much else to do

Some of them add bugs disguised as features, like Ubuntu’s snap

This is not mildly infuriating this is the free internet being eroded through Google’s control of Chrome

I know XML is very last century but if they could coexist in one file, a file that treats each config section as an object, so we can create a Project Object Model, call it pom for simplicity, and then if you are old store it in xml and the you could have only one file and call it pom.xml and then maybe one day someone can make this very useful file a bit more modern and turn it into json or yaml but for now a single pom.xml could save us from that config hell others speak of /s

Code created by a LLM still needs to be interpreted and understood by a human so it can be made useful in a software development context. So yeah the article is exaggerating the impact of AI for coding I think, in my opinion it will become yet another tool at a developer’s disposal to speed up their work

Modern keyboards are an evolution of the old typewriter that existed before computers as we know them and programming as we know it existed, so I would say keyboard came first

Never underestimate the risk of an attack coming from the inside.

Also once you have an implementation with a certain kind of authentication other devs are likely to copy what you have successfully deployed and then your security assumptions will make it into public facing code without much consideration

And then we both lie to the client

Before 3.9 the lack of type hints made it a nightmare for large projects. Strong typing is, among other benefits, a way of self documentation and helps IDEs with auto-complete. If I use Python I always use type hints and if I have to use JS sigo with Typescript instead

It is the same fight that we all fought against Microsoft IE but Google has been a lot smarter with their shit fuckery

What does that have to do with Google’s ability to force their view of the world through the dominance of the browser share market?

Firefox. It is the only thing keeping Google from total internet domination

It might be the HDMI cake that limits the refresh rate, or if the Mac you are using doesn’t have a hdmi port it might be the adapter that is causing the limit. The specs for the monitor say it should go up to 60hz at 4K

I hate it during the workout but I love the feeling after. Problem for me is getting started

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

Not fixing some of those bugs keeps the game fun in my opinion. Many games have a long life with players riding new and creative ways to exploit bugs

Also since Selenium just drives an actual browser the WebRTC and DNS leaks will be the browser’s responsibility not selenium. As long as you can locate elements on a page your will be ok

You might need to install your own proxy on the selenium PC and then chain that proxy to the authenticated one. Then configure the driver to use the local unauthenticated proxy

You can do it with plain selenium all you need to set the proxy in the browser options.

from selenium import webdriver

PROXY_WITH_PORT= “111.222.333.443:8080” chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() chrome_options.add_argument(f’–proxy-server={PROXY_WITH_PORT}')

chrome = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options) chrome.get(“http://google.com”)

In general you can pass any command like argument to the browser using options. For chrome you can find all the proxy related options here: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-settings/

Also if you are using the latest selenium (4.10 I think) you don’t need to point to the chromedriver executable, selenium will automatically download it if it can’t find the driver

Edit: more information about chrome arguments Edit: info about driver download

People’s resistance to change is quite strong, even if they have good reason to leave and lemmy/fediverse are great alternatives the fact is that in terms of UX lemmy can be quite different and takes some time to find and rebuild a list of communities to join, specially since you can have the same community on different servers (i.e. technology on beehaw vs technology on lemmy.world) and just this fact means a learning curve for people that for the most part don’t like change.
