Memory safety bugs are currently being introduced to the Linux kernel faster than they are being fixed. I assume this is true for all major projects but for Linux there's hard evidence for this: https://syzkaller.appspot.com

I think that's a uncharitable reading of a post that goes: 1. I took this action. 2. It had this impact on another person. 3. I should have taken a different action!

That reaction will lead to a beautiful umbrella collection ;)

Exactly, I write a literal message with a literal if/then meaning. She reads it as "my partner is out in the rain and would like me to help". Of course I think _my_ communication style is "better". But the best comm

Same thing happens all the in my relationship with my partner: I text "oh hey if you haven't left yet could you bring my umbrella?" She arrives 20 minutes late and $20 down, having received message after she left and taken a

I don't think you need seat suspension for bicycles to beat walking. On the kinds of surfaces that foot traffic naturally forms, am average commuter bike is gonna perform very decently. I think the only qualitative difference would be

Back when Linux was a janky corner case run by loosely-coordinated hackers with sometimes-impractical ideological constraints, when brilliant people were expending heaps of effort to enable support for it, that was fantastic. Now that the j

Hahaha IIUC Anish Kapoor, a British spectacle-based celebrity pop artist, did some silly bullshit where he arranged an exclusive contract for purchase of one of one of these blackest-ever paints (might have been Vanta?) so that the only way

Ah yep I was just referring to the group, there's an umbrella checkbox to enable the whole thing. I also don't get much popup pain on desktop but I have always assume it's because I visit very different sites. Will be interes

Yeah I have it enabled but don't find it super effective, do you? I just assumed it is under-developed but maybe it's just not working on my device...

There is some work in this direction on Linux: https://source.android.com/docs/security/test/hwasan That site still lists 2x CPU overhead. I am fuzzy on details but I believe some variant is in the works that

Looking forward to this. Firefox is great on Android, but ad-block alone isn't quite enough to make the mobile web usable. Hopefully I can find an extension to auto dismiss cookie/signup popups once this rolls out!

Wow this is fantastic (assuming the matches get merged). Anyone have a picture of how likely/soon we can reach a future where mobile devices get kernel upgrades in the mainstream market? I hear graphics drivers are getting pretty isola

This reminds me a little of the 404 page I made back in university (except it actually looks nice!) http://yawn.io/404 Fun fact: it doesn't have a hard coded bitmap it renders in your system font onto a canvas and read

If those subdivisions aren't capable of reducing their AWS usage how do you imagine that they are capable of migrating to an Oxide rack? Or in other words, is migrating to Oxide somehow assumed to be easier than migrating to some other

I don't think the examples given by the author are good ones (although I don't entirely reject the conclusion). Doing what is essentially advanced computer vision is a very different type of problem from decoding Linear A. The Her

One guess of mine (totally uncorroborated) is that the capsinoids are distributed differently as a result of being extracted (I guess with solvents?). I.e. maybe in other sauces it's in globules or crystals while in DB it's evenly

In the hot ones video the breeder said that there are indeed other capsinoids present and that it is key to the experience. Obviously he does have an incentive to say that! But when someone says "no, plant chemistry is more complicated

I've been taking the ÖBB night trains (Nightjet) a lot the last couple of years. It's a fantastic way to travel, I really hope the network will expand. My only recommendation is not to take one if you absolutely must arrive at the

In the Linux Kernel instead of marking variables/types as volatile you mark _accesses_ as volatile. there's a pair of macros READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE that temporarily cast the pointer for you. I think this is a better way to use

I dislike the format itself (such is the nature of protocols/standards, that's fine) but I'm glad people managed to standardize somewhat on a format. I guess the XML format from JUnit is also a de facto standard. I wish we ha

Interesting, I don't fully understand the goals. I have certainly encountered issues where Go is hiding the platform from me and this is very annoying. This was only ever a real problem on Windows though, the "virtual platform&quo

If you see the wrongess of colonisation as primarily stemming from a violation of imagined "ancestral ownership rights" then yes perhaps it's different. If instead you actually care about the experiences of the human beings

As well as collapse I think there's a case to be made for hedging against loss of access to the normal financial system. E.g. maybe one day the CIA will believe very strongly that you are a terrorist. In that situation a kilo of gold m

I love that the Ian know exists. But after I learned it I tried it for a while and it didn't stick, I went back to the classic knot I learned as a kid after a week or so. IIRC the reason was "yield" - I found my Ian knots wer
