Yea, it sounds pretty nice actually. I’m considering doing that as well. Makes it obvious when you’re running in a root shell too which is nice. I’d probably still keep sudo around though.
With a programmable keyboard it can just be one button too!
Another potential option here is https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/ip-sysctl.html
ip_unprivileged_port_start - INTEGER
This is a per-namespace sysctl. It defines the first unprivileged port in the network namespace. Privileged ports require root or CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE in order to bind to them. To disable all privileged ports, set this to 0. They must not overlap with the ip_local_port_range.
Default: 1024
This is also per namespace so you could use it in combination with network namespaces if you really wanted to keep privileged ports.
Could be a variable from somewhere else in the code. It should throw type error of some sort if it’s not going to handle a float correctly
Pretty much everyone I work with uses vim, emacs, sublime, or vscode. I like IDEs and use them for… well Java, but I wouldn’t argue that they’ve made the other tools obsolete or you’re a fool for sticking with the old ones. If it ain’t broke and all that. It actually seems like more people are moving back to pluggable text editors over IDEs
I’ve used AI tools a bit. They’ve really helped drop in code that would previously just be a bunch of TODOs; they get you up and writing the core parts much faster to see if the idea even works. They’ve also really helped answer specific questions or lead me towards the answer. They’ve also straight up lied to me quite a bit. It’s a weird tool.
I think the OP image is pretty wrong with the comparison it makes. LLMs/AI are a class of technology that are most definitely not going anywhere unless something dramatic happens. Some people, myself included, feel uneasy about the way they’re created and the fact that people in powerful positions completely misunderstand them, and I think that leads to the hope that they’re just a fad.
