What a lovely day. I sure do hope no parasitic maggots that burrow into and feed on living tissue or flesh enter the United States after decades of successful containment in Central America. by MoonMelon in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

Have they tried calling the screw worm woke? We could have contained it in Panama with a minimal push of resources to recover the post-COVID loss of containment, but that would have required cooperating with those people. Oh well, enjoy cattle ranchers!

rsync goes AI slop, breaks your backups by MoonMelon in c/techtakes@awful.systems

I don't know anything about rsync aside from as a user, but I am pretty experienced with Python and I admit those tests look really bizarre. If he did "slot machine" code it (a term I wasn't familiar with) then yeah, I agree that's slop. If he didn't, I don't understand why he made these changes. OK yeah, that's a bad sign.

I rewrote the rsync test suite in python from the old shell script design. I did the design for that myself (and I’m really quite pleased with it), but used claude with cross-checks from codex and gemini to do the grunt work. I did not just vibe-code “convert test suite to python”.... I used AI tools to do the grunt work because they are good at that. I reviewed every part of it myself and ran through a huge amount of CI time getting it right

If what he claims is true then he's using LLMs for test coverage with significant editing by hand. I hate LLMs, but even I have to admit this seems like one of the few, valid use cases of LLM assisted coding. Unless "slop" has become one of those words that's just lost all meaning.

Reading his response, I think calling it "slop" isn't being totally fair, but it does sound like he should hand it off again or close the project. Not having test coverage for something is bad, but it happens. It sounds like the alternatives have this issue also. But the sailing comment is kind of tragic. Just go sailing, dude. Unless you have a phylactery under your desk the project will outlive you anyway, and honestly that's the best compliment a developer can get.

Algorithms course PTSD by MoonMelon in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Actually one of my most favorite memories because the simplicity of the solution using recursion blew my little mind. It was like discovering a magic spell.

Yes, vastly so. Time of year matters too.

In this episode Butters is visiting Niagara Falls as a tourist, but he is arrested for being a foreigner. Nobody cares about his passport or the fact he was there "legally" and he gets funneled into a huge prison facility called "Alberta Alcatraz".

After several scary experiences he is in line for a phone call. When he gets to the front the guard pretends to not understand what he is asking for.

Guard: WELL, what do YOU WANT?
Butters: Uhh I want to make a phone call, please.
Guard: Puh-hone call? Puh-hone? What's that?
Butters: I don't understand mister. I'd like to call someone on that phone.
Guard: Oh THIS? DO YOU MEAN-

The guard lets out a long, trumpet-like fart that sounds like, "fooooooooooone".

Butters: Wha--- what?
Guard 2: YEAH! YOU MEAN- (farting) foooooooooooone!

Apparently this is how Canadians make the word, "phone".

Guard 2: HEY THIS LITTLE YANK CAN'T SAY- (farting) ffhhhooooooone!!
Guard: HAHA!!! (farting) fuuuooooooooooooooone!

All guards start laughing at Butters and farting "fooooone". They can all apparently do this quite naturally.

Butters: B-but, I don't have to fart right now.
Guard: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SPEAK CANADIAN!

Butters resolves to save up his farts to get his phone call. Several days pass. Now trembling and sweating, a pale Butters can barely stand in line.

Butters: Oh man... I gotta make it...

The inmate in front of him effortlessly farts "foooooooooone" and is let ahead. Butters is up.

Guard: YEAH? WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?
Butters: I want... I want... I... uh... UH.... ahhH!!

Butters loses control of his bowels and sprays shit in all directions, then collapses. Everyone around yells in disbelief and disgust.

A large inmate walks up and looks down.

It's OK little buddy, my cousin had that same speech impediment.

Then I woke up.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian publishes letter to the people of the United States of America by MoonMelon in c/news@hexbear.net

[-] MoonMelon@lemmy.ml 118 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants... Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Sorry is there an Adrian Zenz-like figure I can ask instead?

Seriously though I admire that, despite all we've done to them, he still responds with a dignity that we certainly don't deserve. Of course we're totally deaf to this as a people, but I respect the gesture.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."

You paid for something and never got it. Initiate chargeback with your bank. Amazon may close your account for this, but fuck them.

Does using Cloudflare's cdnjs compromise privacy? (lemmy.ml)

Prefacing by saying I'm a total noob to webdev.

I'm trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I'm cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I'm referencing includes LightBox2 using this:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I have no idea.
