I think it is not an exaggeration to say that without Wireshark, so much of modern computing would never have been developed and we would be stuck in the past. The amount of visibility it gives is immense. I have used it for years, decades now.
Half the time I read the stories they're just a thinly disguised ad for some flavor the day SaaS, so at least in this instance the hook was somewhat useful. Now if everyone uses this to shill their SaaS, then maybe not.
People are getting fired and are having to rely on gig work to live. It's a reporting gimmick by both administrations to convince us the economy is doing better when it hasn't.
Wow I never knew I "can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem".
It may not be illegal for someone to have close ties with the Chinese, but we should also not let them control one of the most important companies for the US military and industrial advantage over our rivals.
Alloca is a fundmentally insecure way of doing allocations. Languages that promote alloca will find themselves stuck in a morass of security messes and buffer overflows. If Zig were to adopt alloca, it would make the catastrophic mistake that plagued C for over several decades and introduce permanently unfixable security issues for another generation of programming languages.
I used to work at a game company fresh out of college, and this is simply untrue. The company made roughly 40% of sales from cheater whales (one can imagine how much the chest makers made), and there were guidelines on repeated bans where we recognized similarities to make sure we wouldn't ban them again too early.
I left the industry because of thah and the other things like loot boxes and matchmaking for profit and to push micro transactions. It's a terrible place.
I am not talking about drones like DJI quadcopters with grenades duct taped to them or even large fixed wing aircraft, I am talking about small personal humanoid drones.
Civilization is going through a birth rate collapse. The labor shortage will become more endemic in the coming years, first in lower skill and wage jobs, and then everywhere else.
Humanoid robots change the economics of war. No longer does the military or the police need humans. Morale will no longer be an issue. The infantry will become materiel.
The rules of traditional warfare will still exist, they will just be fought by advanced hyper intelligent AIs instead of humans. Hunter Miller humanoids like Optimus and drones like Anduril will replace humans in war.
War will be the same, but the rich are preparing to unleash a "new arsenal of democracy" against us in an AI takeover. We must be prepared.
XDG_BIN_HOME is crucial, without it, not supporting the spec seems like the right call. Better to deal with the status quo until updates happen than to get stuck in bikeshed hell.
Rust is definitely the worst language for this, writing curl in C++ would unlock memory and type safety while not throwing 30 years of language design out the window.
I mean restarting hardware once a day isn't going to hurt the hardware (indeed its the norm in some places to shut down many racks after business hours), and software will probably only see less bugs.
All but like two of those are important at all for advancing the FSF's missions. They would also completely break backwards compatibility. Half of those aren't even under the control of the FSF.
You have it the wrong way around. Tagging the release as security allows nation-state level attackers with large budgets to investigate the fixes, while normal people have to wait to patches. This gives nation-state level attackers with large budgets a heads-up, making it worse for everyone else. Furthermore, nation-state level attacks with large budgets are more focused on offense than defense.
