Code created by a LLM still needs to be interpreted and understood by a human so it can be made useful in a software development context. So yeah the article is exaggerating the impact of AI for coding I think, in my opinion it will become yet another tool at a developer’s disposal to speed up their work

Modern keyboards are an evolution of the old typewriter that existed before computers as we know them and programming as we know it existed, so I would say keyboard came first

Never underestimate the risk of an attack coming from the inside.

Also once you have an implementation with a certain kind of authentication other devs are likely to copy what you have successfully deployed and then your security assumptions will make it into public facing code without much consideration

And then we both lie to the client

Before 3.9 the lack of type hints made it a nightmare for large projects. Strong typing is, among other benefits, a way of self documentation and helps IDEs with auto-complete. If I use Python I always use type hints and if I have to use JS sigo with Typescript instead

Also since Selenium just drives an actual browser the WebRTC and DNS leaks will be the browser’s responsibility not selenium. As long as you can locate elements on a page your will be ok

You might need to install your own proxy on the selenium PC and then chain that proxy to the authenticated one. Then configure the driver to use the local unauthenticated proxy

You can do it with plain selenium all you need to set the proxy in the browser options.

from selenium import webdriver

PROXY_WITH_PORT= “111.222.333.443:8080” chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() chrome_options.add_argument(f’–proxy-server={PROXY_WITH_PORT}')

chrome = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options) chrome.get(“http://google.com”)

In general you can pass any command like argument to the browser using options. For chrome you can find all the proxy related options here: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-settings/

Also if you are using the latest selenium (4.10 I think) you don’t need to point to the chromedriver executable, selenium will automatically download it if it can’t find the driver

Edit: more information about chrome arguments Edit: info about driver download

People’s resistance to change is quite strong, even if they have good reason to leave and lemmy/fediverse are great alternatives the fact is that in terms of UX lemmy can be quite different and takes some time to find and rebuild a list of communities to join, specially since you can have the same community on different servers (i.e. technology on beehaw vs technology on lemmy.world) and just this fact means a learning curve for people that for the most part don’t like change.
