It all depends on how the data are encrypted. With a sensible design capturing the encrypted storage will only reveal the number of encrypted records, rough estimates on their size, and time stamps.

Spectre is not going to be fixed for code within the same address space and allows to read all process memory from untrusted code. Google in V8 tried to protect against that, but they mostly gave up as there were way too many ways to affect

Heavily sandboxed container has overhead of few percents. A hardware VM slows things down by 10-20% for a typical application. So even combining VM with a container will still be significantly faster than WASM.

Despite the sandboxing one still cannot run untrsuted WASM code in the same process as trusted code due to hardware bugs. CPU vendors are not going to fix those anytime soon. Their message is to always use separated address space for securi

I wish more language designers paid attention to how Ada did things. The language has some features that are very relevant to performance that even C++ or Rust lacks. For example, Ada allows to return stack-allocate arrays with variable num

Sweden shut down one of nuclear reactors due to raising maintenance cost. In France two reactors were put off-line for more than a year due to unexpected cracks in piping after just 25 years of operations. Even in Germany the decision to sh

First the parents should stop being Internet or device addicts themselves. Without that nothing works long-term. Work from home made the situation worse as children see how parents spent at least 8 hours in front of computers.

For a VM with a couple of wordpress blogs that I administer SQLight should allow to reduce memory from 4 to 2GB. In addition the blogs will no longer share the database improving security (while the blogs has the same Wordpress version the

Coach potatoes spend approximately the same amount of calories as modern-day hunter-gatherers. The current thinking is that a body has an energy budget to spend. If one does not move, that energy is spent on other things like hormone synth

The so-called Low-Fat diet still allowed for 20%-30% of calories to come from fat. There are a lot of indications that this is not really low to make a meaningful conclusion. One needs to target max 10%-15% of calories from fat to make a di

Any claims about 100 years of trouble-free operations of a nuclear reactor is a wishfull thinking at best. For example, in France nuclear power reactors were stopped because unexpected cracks appeared in pipes after just 25 years of operati

I am not sure that fst and snd decreases readability. There was studies that showed that at least for alphabetic languages humans recognized words by the first and last characters initially ignoring the middle. So these abbreviations nicely

From my experience people rarely read the commit message s, so it is better to put the why part into comments in the code, not git history. I mostly write the detailed why part in the commit only for refactoring changes.

Typically the commands that I run this way were idempotent so it does not matter if they fail. On the other hand having them in the local shell history is nice since I can preserve that while the remote system can be a transient container w

These days I mostly stopped using tmux over ssh. If one can install software on a remote system, then I just run a VNC server and use a GUI editor or IDE to edit things. The big plus of this is that copy-paste just works and I can use vario

This is to allow foo(temporary_string) where foo takes std::string_view. The real problem is that in C++ temporaries are destructed at the end of the expression, not at the end of the block that contains them. With the latter rule the examp

Again, this assumes that mobile launchers on trucks and trains cannot be tracked. It can be true now, but not necessary in 10-20 years.

The problem with nukes is that one cannot make them small while there no corresponding limits on downsizing of sensors to detect them. While we are still some way of mosquito-size device to detect presence of a nuclear warhead, the path is

The current agricultural land in US alone can easily feed by various estimates at least 2 billions people. The trouble is that most of it is used to grow corn etc. to feed animals in the industrial meat production.

Mutagen tries to be secure so in principle one can develop on untrusted remote machine. VSCode remote always assumes that the remote part is trusted.
