I think the problem is less determinism than predictability. Hashing algorithms are deterministic.

Will people start .gitignore-ing their src directories and only save prompts?


This article [1] would argue ”no”, because then you would be ridding yourself of a “repository of determinism”, which the prompts cannot replace.

You can build a system with non-deterministic properties but you need some sort of deterministic foundation to build working, usable systems. Non determinism from top to bottom is building on quicksand in a swamp.

There are multiple reasons why binary repository managers like Artifactory exist.

And, arguably, the primary reason that perforce is still popular in some domains is that it works well with both large and opaque objects.

Once you've decided to version your src directory, whether a priori or because once bitten, twice shy, the next question is:

Is git the correct version control for this? Or are all the changes so large that git's advantages in merging and manually diffing things become irrelevant?



In addition to the sibling comment about safe harbor hours, the FCC regulates not speech but the shared airwaves. Print is irrelevant, and that’s why you can do whatever you want on cable.

Also, the FCC does not directly set standards and instead responds to complaints from the communities in which the broadcast is available. So it’s conceivable that in an environment where nobody cared, you could do this at any time of day.


Didn't know the FCC regulates Youtube. Nevertheless, in a country with no regulations about saying "fuck" on TV, I get beeps on Youtube.


In various contexts, you would draw the distinction here between `ads` (that is, marketing sold against large swaths of content) and `sponsorships` (marketing sold against a small targeted set of content) but the distinction is subtle and the terms are pretty overloaded.


The words came from a message written by the people you are calling script kiddies, rather than being editorializing by bleepingcomputer, as you seem to believe.


script kiddie or blackhat hacker is irrelevant. IA has shit security practices, and that's a fact regardless of who figures that out


Entitlements are flags (like AndroidManifest permissions) for apps allowing them to do things. It’s not something a user will ever encounter.

In this case it is a flag indicating to the reviewer etc that the app links to a website for account creation and management rather than doing it all within the app.


I see. Thank you for clarification.


Yup. OP is deliberately comparing the language for the end users and the language for the developers for the purpose of a dubious conclusion.


To me it seems the very distinction is toxic. All users of a platform should be considered equal, not separated into developers and consumers. Creating your own apps for whatever an audience to use it (for yourself, for specific people you want or for everyone) should be considered a normal feature any user may use.


Tell that to my wife (:


Share doesn’t seem strange in that context?


I think it makes sense as a default to avoid issues discerning timing due to a buffer.


I think you can probably re-read and understand that their entire post is about the fact that Ticketmaster hosts, processes, and charges fees on resale tickets.

I know that you already know this, based on your other posts on this thread.

The technology referenced in the post above is, at least in part, to prevent you from reselling the ticket without involving TicketMaster. That may be justified as a way to prevent selling the same ticket more than once, but it’s certainly the case that this is one of many possible approaches, and it’s the one that most favors this business.

It would probably be criminal for the company to act any other way, so I’m not claiming any evil doing here.

Yup. I misread the comment.


From the article:

> Aside: All of the above work on many operating systems and support API’s other than epoll, which is Linux specific. The Internet is mostly made of Linux, so epoll is the API that matters.


That quote is talking about epoll-using software (Go, nginx and 'most programming languages', including Rust), not polling-based APIs. You should instead quote:

> without BSD’s kqueue (which preceded epoll by two years), we’d really be in trouble because the only alternatives were proprietary (/dev/poll in Solaris 8 and I/O Completion Ports in Windows NT 3.5).


Nobody diminished your experience since you didn't relate your experience - you simply said that someone else was taking their own too personally.
