It's "we support 4 JS backends, we don't have the capacity to support 5 currently". They're not dropping bun entirely, instead bumping the minimum bun version and not supporting "bunv2" because they don&#x

But unless you're doing that for every service you use (and not just the ones that annoy you), that's still the same logic. Deciding to count something is just as "political" (as you put it) as choosing to not count so

I would argue the current defaults for uv are the correct ones. Unless you have actually verified that said library follows semvar, and you know the library will break your code in the next major release, you should never use upper bounds

And yet the rest of the movie runs on movie logic, enough so that every physicist I know rolls their eyes at it. It gives me the vibe of the "IFLS" crowd, not anyone who actually understands science.

I also live in Sydney, and the first question to ask is always "do you have a car?" (and then "how long you here for?")? A car makes it much easier to visit various spots (e.g. the national parks, Mount Annan ( https:&#x

Which differential equations are you talking about? Linear ones have standard solutions and are definitely parallelisable (though you can basically just write the solution down by hand). Non-linear ones vary from can basically be approxim

Uh, there is a list, named "linux-distros", which is for this purpose (and I think it's for more than just Linux, e.g. I believe it was used for the xz vuln). Given this was announced when backports weren't ready (and

But if you seek to replace coreutils (as at least is the case with Canonical it seems), rather than just be another POSIX userland implementation (e.g. busybox), then I would suggest you do need to be bug-compatible? I can apt/dnf&#x2F

But are the current uutils developers the same as the 2013 developers? At least based on GitHub's graphs, that's not the case (it looks fairly bimodal to me), and so it wouldn't be unreasonable to treat the 2013-era project d

According to https://stats.labs.apnic.net/dnssec DNSSEC is sitting about 1/3, so "very few" isn't accurate. I'm not suggesting browsers should change what they do, but if WebPKI can't be used,

If you look at the older article linked ( https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2022-03/revocation.html ), it's very similar and uses the same tick/cross, so I don't think it's AI generated.

In addition to what other commenters have said, it's a copy of a post on their personal blog: https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2026-04/revocation.html On revocation, check out https://bugzilla.mozill

My impression was that autoupdate was not the default because the devices it runs on only have so many resources, and there's a non-trivial chance of bricking the device (given how many devices are supported)? It's not like other

Have you used busybox? The BSDs? I'm not sure adding more features to coreutils is a major help, and given rust-coreutils/uutils has: 1) more CVEs between two latest Ubuntu releases than coreutils has had over the last 30+ year 2)

I believe https://portier.github.io/ was the replacement for Personas/BrowserID, any reason not to use it?

Then why rewrite coreutils in rust? TOCTOU isn't exact some new concept. Neither are https://owasp.org/Top10/2025/ (most of which a good web framework will prevent or migrate), and switching to rust (which as

They're referencing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_to_eleven (and you're one of today's lucky 10000: https://xkcd.com/1053/ ).

I would suggest the current system fails to efficiently choose (as you have to align multiple pathways, like updates, "manual" installs, adding new packages), and so effectively there's only the illusion of choice. Switching

I think based on what I think is the author's comments here "Flatpak on top of immutable distros are the future of Linux"? Given that context, I can see how the author produced the text.

As an aussie, I'd say instant is never good, it's the minimum acceptable coffee. If your coffee is worst than instant (yes, you LAX, how do you make coffee taste like literal dirt water!), then you should learn to make coffee prop

The checksums are verified automatically, based on a key bootstrapped by the original install (which could, though likely not done, be verified by other means). As happened with xz, you either get everyone or no-one.

I'm not sure how someone is supposed to use attestations if PyPI refuses to support the forge they use? I'm not sure how this prevents a package getting maliciously uploaded via Github Actions? To me, this is going to lead to anot

Is it 99% of users? Of the linux (desktop/laptop) users I know, the majority use X-forwarding over ssh at least occasionally, while non-linux (desktop/laptop) also use X-forwarding (this is in an academic context), so while this m
