I support the c coders. Rewriting linux in rust is an existential threat to the infosec industry where I work

Depends which news you're talking about. MS guy who discovered it found it March 29th, published to oss. It was in infosec news same day as redhat, others pushed out critical advisories. Patch didn't come til a day or two later.

Hmm? It was released for two plus months? 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 I'd also say this wasn't a good example of 'linux handling it better': usually when a mess like this occurs on windows all the corps get a quiet tap on the should

I don't understand this sort of blindness? Linux fails all the time, with rather terrible nobody to root vulns because some idiot failed to use the right bounds check. Ye gods, XZ utils was barely a few months ago!

1. this is a crowdstrike issue not windows 2. plenty of malware and c2 systems happily operate off all systems, regardless of how hardened (or how unix) they are - IDS/IPS is a reactive way to try and mitigate this 3. you don't ne

Yeah but this is more from the perspective of a blue teamer, someone actively looking for/protecting against malware or performing forensics. If you're not in that position, just have some good AV and don't do anything that m

Hmm, I'm studying first year biology at uni and they convey a lot of wonder with it. Especially when at the same time you study human bioscience (organ systems, tissues etc) and chemistry for biology the sheer wonder of all the little

Before opening the article I was thinking "I bet its another 2D side-on platformer". The genre isn't even mentioned in the article, but from looking at all the screenshots (as I would on steam) I can't see why I would bu

I wrote F# for a long time, and there were definite phases to learning and becoming comfortable with it. For example, it's often pitched as a functional language but in reality its a functional-first hybrid language on the .NET framewo

I've use this. Slightly slower, but for my use case that was fine (a small blog) and immeasurably better doing away with all the CGO hassle. Especially when I might cross compile to an Arm architecture, or some docker container that us

Bash does not work the same on Linux and Mac, as the version for Mac is the GPLv2 option which has a different, reduced syntax vs the common version in Linux (or WSL2 versions of linux), so a linux bash script may well fail when run on MacO

No I wasn't, but if I was it works like this: Surface Go = iPad, same rough price and specs, Surface Laptop Go, Surface Laptop vs Macbook Air or low-end Macbook Pro, same rough price (Laptop Go is a few hundred cheaper), Surface Book v

Tbf you can uninstall all these apps (rage about windows being preinstalled with bloatware, but thats been a thing forever), and if you feel like you are technical enough to use linux, then you are absolutely technical enough to open regedi

I think Mac and surfaces are in the same price bracket definitely. My surface book was a cool 4k in NZD when I grabbed it, comparative to a similar MacBook pro.

I'll do you one better, used Mac for two years, Windows for most of the rest, and a hell of a lot of Linux all throughout. Found the opposite regarding cognitive load with MacOS - it feels like a ten year old operating system full of w

Hmm, I'd say the Surface line are the direct competitors, and have real nice quality. Better keyboards and a nicer screen form factor 3:2. Was quite a fan of the Surface Book 2, and recently picked up a Laptop Go which is great, for le

Sure, each to their own. I'd just argue that comments like the one that concludes the article, 'Could the 2020s become the decade when mainstream PC gaming turns handheld?' sound about as credible as the hype around how the i

I play PC games because I like having a comfortable gaming chair, a keyboard and a mouse in front of a large screen. I've never understood the point of the Steam Deck - if I want to play 'mobile friendly games' I'll use

I think it takes a lot more than a language, no matter how efficient to get top 10 in AoC - its more about being able to parse the problem exceptionally quickly, or rather recognise practically from memory the class of problem that the day

I think the problem was it _felt_ vague and under specified. But when I read it closely enough, it actually was exactly specific.
