#sourcecode

Twice in my career I found in a company's codebase the following line of code:

srand(rand());

This was in commercial products.

Not only does this show a significant misunderstanding of how these work, but even more importantly it clearly showed that the developers hadn't bothered to test their code. #cpp #randomness #sourcecode

While modifying the meld tabstop from 8 to 4 characters this evening, I was reminded of a job I had in the mid 1990s where the company's code style required us to set our tab stops to strange and uneven values such as "3 7 11 13 18 characters".

What a mess that was. #cpp #sourcecode

NeXTstep source code leaked

This is very interesting news. I’d be all for someone reviving the NeXT as a hobbyist hardware platform, maybe atop those RK3588 ARM chips (even with Motorola 680x0 emulation, it would be a pretty amazing thing to see).(...)

Data Strategy: Gitlab + Google

Google has announced a partnership with GitLab to expand AI-Assisted capabilities. This is another example of how vital data assets will become as we shift to data-hungry LLMs. You wouldn't expect Google to partner to obtain data to improve their models, but there are just two major players when it comes to source code.

Atlassian is a prominent name that needs to be added to the mix of AI-Assisted Coding products. While the BitBucket marketplace allows for Code Review Assistants, it has not yet announced any significant headway in this space, similar to the announced Atlassian Intelligence enhancements for Jira and Confluence.

One may argue that this concerns Atlassian's inability to use privately hosted code versus GitLab and GitHub, which boast much larger open-source communities. This is an area to monitor, particularly based on legal outcomes for copyright use cases associated with source code.

New TinyUX update (1.1.6), now you can import components via text.

Next I'll be adding export to 'ux source code'. So you could then send someone a component/page that they can import in their app.

Also it should be possible to write a script that turns 'ux source' to HTML, or perhaps some other format you might want to use.

It will be intresting how the community responds to the #Twitter #sourcode and the #pullrequests and #issues that will be created.

I also look forward to see how Twitter responds to this. Many #opensource projects are actually very hesitant to introduce pull requests and issues by the community which are not direct bug fixes. I wonder how Twitter will respond and if this opportunity to contribute is true or just something to keep us distracted.

Twitter Source Code Leaked On GitHub 2023.

The code leaker using the alias"FreeSpeechEnthusiast," obviously referers to Elon Musk calling himself a free speech absolutist and suggests that the leaker is a disgruntled Twitter employee.

It is not known exactly when the source code was leaked, but according to The New York Times,"it appeared to have been public for at least several months."

@sdubinsky Interesting that right from the start Linus points out:
"it’s all definitely optimized for the things that _I_ tend to care about"
and
"The real downside of GIT may be that _my_ way of doing things is quite possibly very rare"

- which is why the SQLite people created Fossil to fit their way of working rather than using Git - https://www.sqlite.org/whynotgit.html

Uh oh: Twitter Says Parts of Its Source Code Were Leaked Online [months ago!]

Parts of #Twitter’s #SourceCode, the underlying computer code on which the social network runs, were leaked online, according to a legal filing, a rare and major exposure of intellectual property as the company struggles to reduce technical issues and reverse its business fortunes under #ElonMusk.”

https://nyti.ms/3K9UuIt

Text Shot: Twitter began an investigation into the leak and executives handling the matter have surmised that whoever was responsible left the San Francisco-based company last year, two people briefed on the internal investigation said. Since Mr. Musk bought Twitter in October for $44 billion, about 75 percent of the company’s 7,500 employees have been laid off or resigned.

When are we going to get #Codex/#ChatGPT-ops? I mean, if #SourceCode is partially generated, surely the prompts need to be stored in #Git as well. And if changes are committed to prompts, the #LargeLanguageModel needs to be automatically re-run to generate updated #code.

In some cases, the #prompts to the code generation model need to have source code injected from other code files, both for making sure the model knows how to interface with them, and in some cases in the style of "do this but fix the #SQL injection errors" iterative improvement.

This of course requires some file format to template the prompts.

Also, the language models could be injected as #build plug-ins to the code, in pom.xmls in #Maven and through other mechanisms with other build tools.
Perhaps we'll need #Jenkins plug-ins for those build steps.

Apart from the fact that I don't like to outsource my internal communication in the company, this is a further loss of trust. Just stealing the code doesn't necessarily mean anything, but if it was poorly implemented, then yes, there are other attack factors.

@nova you are not imagining things. We are in a #simulation with the granularity of Planke's constant, demonstrated by the fact that everything is quantized. The #glitches are real because multiple people experience them at the same time. I'd love to get my hands on the #sourcecode 'cause I bet it's #buggy as all hell.

In programming variables are often $items or $categories. Here the developer is happy with cats. (They are actually training categories).

#coding #codingfun #cats #meow #sourcecode

A function "getCategories" in sourcode where seven categories are queried: "getCat1 - getCat7". The categories are stored in a $cats variable. With each query you see a different cat emoji as a comment.

I don't trust any proclaimed property of closed-source, #proprietary #sourcecode by companies: they might have implemented as advertised or not, they may change it with any update, they may have huge security issues you can never ever check.

Does this count as #projects? Last year I filed a #FOIA for the #SourceCode of the government tool fs2comma.exe¹ from #FEC. AND I GOT IT 💥 The C++, project files, and some build logs are now in this public GitHub archive.² And I ported it to a Docker image.³

From the FEC attorney: "you are the first person to request code and I was curious why" 😁

² https://github.com/hodgesmr/fs2comma
³ https://hub.docker.com/r/hodgesmr/fs2comma

To whom it may concern:

This is a request for records under the Freedom of Information Act. I am requesting the source
code and any developer documentation that relate to the FEC Data conversion tool known as
fs2comma.exe. For the purposes of determining what, if any, fees may be assessed in connection with the processing of this request, I am an individual seeking information for personal use and not for commercial use. I request a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested
information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily my commercial
interest. It is imperative that users of public software understand how that software operates, what
system requirements it has, and audit it for any bugs or vulnerabilities before introducing it into their own critical systems. If that waiver is denied, please inform me of any estimated fees
associated before processing my request.
I consulted with the IT department and they don't see a risk to releasing this to you. personally am not an IT expert, but this was approved for release to a FOIA public requester, so once you have it, it is yours to disseminate. I had read your twitter thread
on the matter as you are the first person to request code and I was curious why, and I
see you are very experienced in this arena. If you have any concerns you can think of,
please let me know.
