Heartbleed was in production for two years. Log4Shell was in the wild for 8. ShellShock for 20. The fact that some exploits are discovered quickly is not in any way a proof that nobody can get away with it. You may argue that these vulnerab

There’s no 16 Pro silver. Design changes are one half, colors are the other half. In total, people know you have a new phone or an old phone.

Where are the open source planes, trains, and automobiles? Medical equipment? Nuclear reactors? Open source cannot afford the quantity control/verification need for these domains. It’s the same for phones. At best you’re going to get a

They're removing black to force people to either upgrade, or make it painfully obvious to their peers that they're using an old phone. That's what you do when there is nothing new in your phone this year. Status signaling and

They made 4,000 copies of this aircraft. That’s only $12.5 million per, in today’s dollars.

Don’t get LASIK. Get Wavelight Plus ray-tracing guided LASIK. The outcomes are incredibly improved.

This is interesting, but I’m curious how much of the effect is due to getting paid $15, and how much the data was affected by the fact that everyone was isolated in COVID lockdown at the time.

In my experience, these cars are old and decrepit, and force you to breathe locomotive engine exhaust all the time, and especially when the train is idling. It’s a fast track to cancer. Don’t spend any more time than you need to in one. The

Please don’t have it run in a virtual machine. Or at least the JVM. All of Jetbrains products would be 10x better if not written in Java. Native is best.

Do you remember how the world got all kinds of weird cults before we got good at identifying cults and the phenomenon of cults? Well, the FSF/GPL is one of those. Many people still need to be deprogrammed.

Huh? Open source licenses long predate Stallman. He was, at best, an opportunist who tried to coopt the OSS movement and take it into a kooky ideological niche.

It's interesting that AI fulfilled for the common user—through vibe coding—the mission which GNU/FSF could not: the freedom to create any software you want at any time. And it's ironic that of all of the software used to crea

It’s undefined behavior. It will never be stable. Investigating every permutation of zero-utility undefined behavior in the universe is borderline insane. Will the author next investigate exactly how a 2002 Fiat becomes inoperable after a h

Allocating memory with C and freeing it with Rust is silly. If you want to free a C-allocated pointer in Rust, just have Rust call back in to C. Expecting that allocators work identically in both runtimes is unreasonable and borderline insa

It is instructive to look at how we got expensive housing in the first place. Expensive housing comes from a surplus of people. How did we get all those people? By building more housing and having people breed there. New housing is only a t

Investors are likely betting there is an AI play buried deeply in here somewhere. The founders are uber geeks but have never done anything successful on their own. I predict this company will be another zombie.

I mean, Tesla sells these credits to legacy automakers, in part, to deliberately stall the EV programs of competitors. So they are complicit in the “shortcomings” of these automakers.

Because Tesla sells these credits, they completely negate any environmental benefit from buying one, and always have. Any Tesla you buy just allows another automaker to sell a huge gas guzzler that they otherwise would not have been able to

These stats are bogus: OS X market share drops by 50% in a few months, macOS market share at zero for most of last twelve months. Windows market share goes up 8% in a few months? Total garbage.

Not at all, there is no moat around LLMs, but social media has a huge moat because of network effects. Mobile phones have a huge moat as well. LLMs are more like web browsers. Nobody makes any money there, they are commodities. Look at Nets

I never liked Raycast over Alfred or Launchbar. They’re trying way too hard to solve non-existent problems and sucking at it. That said, Linux app launchers are even worse, so I applaud any attempt to improve that situation.

The problem isn’t a lack of housing, it’s a lot of breeding. US population has doubled since 1950. It quadrupled since 1900. As long as people keep having babies in excess of the replacement rate, housing will always be good investment. The
