@nixCraft@mastodon.social I have a bad habit of always trying to alias commands, filepaths and terminal based apps into 2 letter characters. I've accidentally aliased over a couple gnuutils before. Nowadays I just type the letters into the terminal first to see if it gives me the "I don't know what this is" error or not.

@bagder@mastodon.social if it's number of installs it's probably sqlite since we all have that installed multiple times per device but if each device is only worth one point I assume it's much closer. My entirely unsubstantiated guess is that curl is much more common in IOT devices than sqlite and thus, wins here.

@wnd@fosstodon.org @jbz@indieweb.social a quick google search gets me an article where Microsoft reports the mistralai pypi package is compromised. Shai halud also affected pypi, those are probably the most recent. As for cargo, the latest one I'm aware of is CVE-2026-33056 which happened in March. But really, it's just common sense isn't it? Central package repos encourage relying on existing packages, so packages also start relying on existing packages. So you want to compromise something everyone is relying on.

@jbz@indieweb.social to be fair to npm, I'm pretty sure this has also happened in pypi and cargo. The problem, really, seems to be that central package managers are juicy targets.

@jwz@mastodon.social @eldersea@expressional.social Sure, but it was more that mentioning licenses at all is an unforced error here and doing so is yet another sign of "I'm too big for copyright to apply"

@eldersea@expressional.social @jwz@mastodon.social "Licensing Costs" is an interesting one, there's definitely gpl code in there right? I would've just upped the price per token a little or made a flat "premium usage" charge.

@ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu @cwebber@social.coop this got me thinking about CCC again, how is that going? https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/issues/250 Oh.

@mattblaze I mean, wasn't it introduced explicitly for Trump? But I doubt we'll ever see it again after this shit show.

@thanius@mastodon.chuggybumba.com @bagder@mastodon.social it is weird but it was done to test compression /decompression with known blobs (I think) and since it was always like this, no one thought twice. I'd guess this kind of thing is being much more heavily scrutinized now.

@stib@aus.social I had a similar experience. My 2070 super was on he way out (it was only a year old!) but it would idle at 100% GPU until, it couldn't run any games on windows. I installed popos 22.04 and squeezed another couple months out of the GPU just fine. I've never understood why this happened but my work laptop (windows) is now idling on 80% RAM usage so I guess it was just a prelude of what was to come.

@andrewrk oh, that's really cool actually.

@andrewrk my understanding of inline functions is that compilers are just better at this then us these days, what's the point of guaranteeing inlining?

@mr_harm the general arguments I always hear are; big bloated monolothic application that doesn't follow Unix philosphy (never understood this one). Logs are binary encoded instead of plaintext. Big systemd is being pushed on us just like wayland!

@abbiistabbii @itsfoss I like the idea that someone at the alphabet soup agencies asked if Linus was a better dev than Larry Ellison. I really want that conversation to have happened.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social aren't we like 3 years into "AI will replace me in 3 months". I remember when Jensen first claimed software developers wouldn't exist in 6 months I went straight to the NVIDIA site and saw they were hiring software engineers. These idiots don't believe the things they say and then complain when we don't either.
