I don't think I've ever had a problem with this. The big problem I've had with cut/copy/paste has been with Windows and software inspired by it, which is that copying without selecting any text blows away the clipbo

I don't know everything there is to know about passkeys or anything, but my reaction to most of these comments is "You're passing yourself off as someone who has relevant opinions about security, and you can't possibly i

Yeah I have a similar list. Mine also includes "journey". As soon as a word gets adopted by MBAs to abstract away the real world, it gets added to my list. They're words that project the idea of a smart person but only to stu

Sure, I guess. But I think people reading this thread are drawing a line between "Copying the publicly-visible IP" and "Inducing employees to walk out with trade secrets in hand." No one at Samsung was facing prison time

I was thinking a classical linker that e.g. combined sections together after already laying out subsequent sections. That would basically be an memmove. It doesn't necessarily have to be unsafe, but I could see it being implemented tha

Because Apple didn't sue Samsung over IP theft. They sued them over copyright infringement.

I promise you that someone in SF making $50k/month can comfortably afford a very nice house.

Yeah that is definitely 1000% wrong. A compiler can do its job with totally abstract data structures. If anything would need to do unsafe stuff in memory, it would probably be a linker.

The 1A jurisprudence, to my understanding, basically results in the courts virtually never finding that the government has a legitimate, competing interest in limiting political speech. But courts are willing to find that certain speech t

Sorry, no. Just because you've never done it doesn't mean that no one ever will. Beyond the archival benefits, I've found plenty of bugs by going back through my "wip" commits and creating a sane history from them.

Have you ever tried to configure ACLs? They're a pain in the ass. Not everyone wants to be a sysadmin.

Holy shit this is a great idea. I get the complaints about the arts, but colleges have enjoyed essentially unlimited patience for larding up their programs with extra fees, bullshit credit requirements, and more, for decades. I don't p

It really depends on the type of trust you're talking about. You're right that in many places in the US, people generally act honestly. But that's not always true -- porch pirates are still a huge problem in cities, for examp

For these types of incidents VAR protocol is expressly to not offer the referee a slow-motion replay and to only let him see it in real time. Everyone knows that when you slow this stuff down it always looks worse, so the protocol is de

The US had no procedural route to get Balogun reinstated. That doesn't mean FIFA can't wave their magic wand to make it happen. Had FIFA implemented an appeals panel for the tournament, it would've looked at the incident, dee

Yup. The only upside to being sick is that I get to take NyQuil before going to sleep and have trippy as fuck dreams.

Yeah I think that there's some serious over-indexing on university political indoctrination. I can buy that kids adopt far-left viewpoints in college after being exposed to them for the first time just due to novelty. But college is no

This is broadly true, but there are performance-based layoffs sometimes. The trick is to know whether the next round is going to be a decimation or a restructuring. If it's a restructuring, nothing you do will save you or condemn you.

Democrats in 1994 were a very different proposition when compared to today. They had the union vote locked up, and the greatest generation benefited greatly from unions.

"Crack the hash"? Does this mean you were employing some novel hashing algorithm and relying on its secrecy? If so your employer were never serious about security in the first place. Hardware attestation is more or less a solved p

God Plex sucks now. The mobile Photos app is basically abandonware that threw out 80% of the functionality from when photos were handled in the main app. Still glad I snatched up the lifetime pass when it was $150, but they're doing th

I can't take anyone seriously who equates "six figure income" with "upper-middle class". That was true in the 80s. But the median household income in the US is about $80,000/yr. That extra $20,000 doesn't
