And then do what? Date of birth is essentially public information.

I disagree. I used to do a lot of math years ago. If you gave me some problems to do now I probably wouldn't be able to recall exactly how to solve them. But if you give me a written solution I will still be able to give you with 100% confidence a confirmation that it is correct.

This is what it means to understand something. It's like P Vs NP. I don't need to find the solution, I just need to be able to verify _a_ solution.


At least in Mexico your government ID is nothing private or confidential. Basically anyone can determine anyone else's ID with vastly publicly available information.

Unlike the US your ID is just an ID and not a form of secret or authentication token.


Do those design practices protect you when you apply a refactor and now you don't know which call sites may be broken now?


Yes


I've commented about this before.

The answer is development branches are forbidden but releases still use a kind of branching approach.

When you make a release you use commit A from main, then development continues, commit B adds a feature, and maybe commit C fixes a serious bug.

You don't want to make a new release at C because it includes new non tested features, instead you cherry-pick fixes to your release, test the new release candidates, and release that when ready.

Development still happens in main however.

Another big tool to minimise these problems is to separate the concept of feature release from the concept of binary release. You don't have to make a true deployment to release new features or roll them back, just use a toggle switch.


You still need a bootloader to run the Linux kernel.


well, not with efistub, at least, depending on how you define bootloader.


With efistub, isn't the built-in EFI firmware the bootloader?


I prefer the Gerrit workflow over any other git-based workflow, specially since it seems to be going the Jujutsu route in the future: https://www.gerritcodereview.com/design-docs/support-jujutsu...


The "preview" and "code" buttons in the components break the "alt+arrow" bindings to go back to the previous page. Instead it just alternates between "preview" and "code".


The only real no LLM license is keep your code private, I think it is that easy.


I have to say, it is _extremely_ impressive when a tiktok I watched reminds me of some other tiktok, so I go and search for a very loose description of the tiktok, and the first result is 95% of the time what I wanted to find.

I don't think any single other platform has as good a search feature as TikTok does.


oh wow, you're really lucky. around my friend groups who use tiktok, the main complaint is how bad the search is. unfortunately for us, getting a specific video is almost impossible =(


Thats super interesting (I deleted Tiktok because it was too addicting!), but this is a common complaint about Instagram is that it feels impossible to find a reel based on keywords.
