the parents analogy is quite bad since C doesn't shoot you in the foot unless you pull the trigger closer to a gun without a safety, which plenty of manufacturers sell

never said C was a great language, merely indicated that it's important to distinguish between a mistake made by a programmer and a failure of the language pretty sure trusting user provided data without validation is the programmers f

yes I'm aware that parsing a letter as an an integer is undefined behavior, it's in the manual

and they put a note in the manual that says "if you drive over 70mph on a hot day it will definitely explode so don't do that" so if you buy that car and you do that, it's your fault regardless of how poor the car design

Not supporting deprecated software for a deprecation period is just rude, especially when said software is integral to your product on a certain platform and present on 99.69% of Linux workstations. Nvidia is not some kiddy startup and shou

That sounds like some bullshit to me, the amount of effort for Nvidia to ease pains over the transition period -- which will surely last at least ten years before even 80% of applications are patched for native Wayland support and will and

I had to double check to see if I had woken up from a coma and it was in fact April 1, 2018, but no. What a way to destroy the most iconic webpage in history.

I thought that went without saying. It should be pretty obvious that this doesn't include communist states and governments that don't pretend to allow Western ideas of freedom.

Yeah I knew someone would pull the China card, being a communist country that doesn't even pretend to support western ideas of freedoms they're obviously an exception

You know, every time I see something like this, I really hope the legislation passes. Then as the enforcement attempts to handle their impossible task we get to sit back and watch as Tor and I2P and EFF get funded, citizens and politicians

There's always room to improve. Leaks exposing corruption and to a lesser extent critical software vulnerabilities are a good thing. I don't think anyone would argue that exposing the identity of, for example, undercover agents is
