So you'd switch USA for China, and still have a foreign dependency embedded into the very fabric of your society. Do you not see a problem with this?

What, like electronic payments using phones running American operating systems? With the bonus that you have two new gatekeepers that can lock your citizens out (Apple and Google).

Exactly, do they want people to buy their FPGAs or not? Charging per-seat licenses for developers and heavily restricting the free version mean people will buy from other vendors or just not use an FPGA at all.

I'll bite. Why is it the fault of the organization that gets broken into, rather than the fault of the attackers breaking into it? Even if the defender takes every reasonable defensive measure, they could still get pwned from some zero

Is this why every healthcare website has 2FA now? It's so annoying.

Why wouldn't 8 be enough? Surely 18,446,744,070,000,001,024 characters is enough for every writing system in the world.

I'm 23 and IMO, the Windows desktop style peaked somewhere in Windows 95-2000. The first Windows I ever used was XP, so I'm mostly making that decision based off screenshots and emulators. UIs back then were dense, didn't was

The "constant migration to a new best thing" is a big problem. Once written, a program should be able to run forever, but this is only true on Windows for GUIs and on Linux only for some CLIs. Arch just recently dropped the origin

Most embedded processors sadly don't have a BIOS, and the signing key is permanently burned into the processor via eFUSEs.

Where is this "extremely well documented process" to enroll new signing keys on an embedded device? I don't see one for any of these embedded processors with secure boot. https://pip-assets.raspberrypi.com/cat

And how do you do that on some locked down embedded device? Say, a thermostat for instance.

If it's compiled code, it's native.

And what if that customer wants to run their own firmware, ie after the manufacturer goes out of business? "Security" in this case conveniently prevente that.

Most toolkits, including WebUI 3.0, render widgets on their own, so you can't distinguish just on that. I'd say anything written in an interpreted language is not native, and Javascript falls into that category. Dart at least is p

>Native means system libraries only. Since when? To me, anything not webview-based is native, though you have varying degrees of integration into the platform.

A big complaint in TFA is that Win32 is much much easier to use than Wayland is: >Getting any example application to work is so incredibly ridiculous, that every second I program on Wayland, I yarn for the times I did Win32 programming.

He's writing a client, and wlroots is a library for writing servers. It would not have helped at all.

I don't have a program that uses it, so it's not my place to watch mailing lists for it getting deprecated. Basic searching of Github however (what I'd have expected them to do before removing it) reveals 20k files that conta

C11 atomics, C11 threads, variable length arrays, safely reading from an inactive union member, designated array initializers, compound struct literals, implicitly converting a void pointer to a typed one, and the list goes on.

Ugly doesn't matter as long as it works better (and I heavily disagree on all of the things you stated.)
