the researchers guided mythos to the vulnerabilities, not the other way around

I don’t think that’s true, based on what I read.

JavaScript isn’t even close to the worst language to ever exist.

I suspect just asking would work. The number of people that will use AI to make sloppy PRs is going to be a lot higher than the number that will bare-faced lie about having used AI.

RSSI just means Received Signal Strength Indicator. Any radio system can provide it - it’s not specific to BLE.

Bluetooth classic can provide RSSI too. Maybe the OS doesn’t expose currently it but that’s why I was suggesting modifying the OS. The only difficulty might be if the drivers are closed source, but worth a look I reckon!

adding RSSI might only work on newer devices, since classic pebbles are just Bluetooth and Bluetooth le

I don’t follow. It’s extremely unlikely that the actual hardware doesn’t give you RSSI.

Yeah I could have told you this wasn’t going to work. You need latency measurements accurate to the order of a nanosecond. There are way too many things in-between that have variance on the order of microseconds or more, especially thread scheduling.

You need hardware support for something like this to work, as in WiFi RTT.

Isn’t PebbleOS open source? I’d probably make a patch to add RSSI support to the OS.

Vim’s solution to fast editing also isn’t very compelling since multiple cursor editing was invented. You can get 90% of the editing speed by learning 1% of the shortcuts. And the UX is slightly nicer since you get immediate feedback.

I feel like this is due to my C-suite pushing for AI integrations in basically everything

I would put a small amount of money on it actually being because this guy was involved in setting up that workflow and sees your suggestion to fix it as criticism that it is shit (and by implication so is he).

Very common defence mechanism.

I don’t have a strong opinion on the beta site, but I do know that they need to stop listening to the exact people that killed their site (or allowed it to be killed by AI at least).

Actually they should have stopped listening to them a decade ago. Now is way too late.

I haven’t used Java for decades and never used .net so I’ll take your word for those. Absolutely not for C++ though.

Go’s standard library has:

• JSON, XML, etc.
• A web client and server
• Bigints
• Logging
• JPEG, PNG and GIF
• SQL client
• SSH client
• All the crypto algorithms
• Gzip, zlib, deflate, etc.

C++ has none of that. Hell C++ only got a function to check if a string starts with a prefix a few years ago.

I think the only mainstream language with a standard library that is both good and comprehensive is Go. All of the others either have smaller standard libraries (e.g. Rust) or poorly designed ones (Python).

The only reason to do this is if you’re directly integrated Rust into an existing build system (e.g. Bazel). It’s not going to help with this problem at all.

With caveats.

If you actually read his message you can see he is interested in hosting projects that aren’t open source.

I think mmap is unlikely to be the best option seeing as you’d be doing large sequential reads.

Yeah it’s clearly more than just experience. It’s at least experience + actually learning + actually caring. I wouldn’t rule out natural talent either, though I have seen plenty of smart people with poor programming taste.

For example I worked on a C++ SDK where the guy that wrote it was clearly very smart… But he had also written an enormous god object using CRTP to inherit about 20 classes. The aim was to make it somehow modular, but it absolutely wasn’t. Clearly poor taste.

Maybe it’s like religion. There are plenty of very smart people that believe in an imaginary friend. It’s almost orthogonal to “smartness”. Maybe taste is the same.

I mean, sure… But for most users of GitHub actions “it’s easy and free” is a huge benefit, easily outweighing any technical advantages Buildkite might have.

Python’s performance is too poor to do anything serious. Go and look at the screenshots from Pygame. They look like ZX Spectrum era games.

Compare that to something like PixiJS.

I don’t see why you couldn’t have relations in a object model database. Just allow fields that are references to other objects or their keys.

I would teach Typescript. Being able to write the types down and hover things to see what types they are will definitely help them.

I think C would put them off. I also wouldn’t go with Python, in case they want to do things like write games or make websites, which are common tasks you can do with Typescript but not very well with Python.
