The right of free speech is not wholly encompassed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. In fact, it's the other way around, it's because the right of free speech is recognized as a universal, natural right t

It's mostly down to preferences and needs. DBeaver requires Java, supports more RDBMSs, supports plug-ins, supports ER diagrams, but is also a project split into a community/enterprise model so some features are just never going t

Vibe coding a low-stakes personal project is very different from vibe coding a hospital information system or a kernel patch. Learning you can get away with one doesn't mean you should translate that to the other.

All the projections I've seen have said that the earliest we might see the curve flatten is 2030. It just takes that long to get a fab up and running.

Executing hardware hot-swap typically means telling the system that a component is going down. Then the system moves those resources to the other component to gracefully allow you to remove it without a restart. Like it's not a case wh

Ksplice can do that because the kernel is only in memory in one place an it never sleeps. It has to orchestrate a process that's always running, which is complex, but it's never more than one. Now try patching glibc like that. Not

I don't know why US senators are up in arms about this. Trump was extremely clear when he gave them his budget that he wanted CISA's budget drastically cut. He also specifically directed CISA to shut down their election security o

The problem with live patching is twofold. First, you might not reload everything in memory, so it will be patched on disk but not in process. Second, you have not tested that the system can boot to a functional system. Say you have done li

That will be fun because it's illegal to accept money to promote a product without indication that you have done so. The FTC requires "clear and conspicuous disclosure" for such endorsements.

Yeah, the problem is that "code you're sure to throw away" includes school coursework. That's always been one of the problems, though. Writing code for class is much less stressful than writing code that other people wil

How many of the things you've listed here are $20/month better than a search engine? That's the actual deal here. Obviously, a better search engine that also doesn't display ads is better. But is it $20/month better

I'm sure they had a second camera running without Burke in the shot so that they could dub over it if they messed up the shot, too.

Yeah, they identified themselves as ShinyHunters, and the IP they've put on the demonstration page is geocoded to Russia. Notice this is the same group responsible for the Infinite Campus hack last year. Really, though, if you want som

This still smells like the kind of paper that a think tank would fund to justify their billionaire-backed policy that social security should be abandoned and the retirement age moved to 75.

Everyone likes to use DNS. How do I use DNS on my home network to set up my home router? It's the same problem as TLS certificates on web interfaces for infrastructure. And the commercial solution is going to be "pay us a subscrip

Animals eat it and turn it into methane, which is arguably worse than CO2.

Yeah, there are alfalfa fields in central Arizona . Alfalfa basically turns water and sunlight into cellulose about as quickly as plants can. Worse, the owners of those fields are often foreign companies. That means they use tremendous amo

Really? Because I would call a situation where the development team fails to appreciate the severity of a security vulnerability and has an established procedure that requires the researcher and not the kernel team to communicate with dow

"Didn't go anywhere"? The kernel devs patched it! They patched it weeks ago! The kernel security team needs to communicate security problems in their own releases, because that is where the distros are already looking. Re

No. The problem is that vendors and developers have repeatedly shown that if you give them an inch, they take a mile. Look at exactly what happened with BlueHammer this month. The security researcher went full disclosure because Microsoft d

No, this was already timed disclosure. This is very common and widely accepted. 90+30 is what Google Project Zero uses, for example. The security researcher has met their ethical requirements already. This is entirely on the kernel's s

The only word doing any work at all in that definition is "artifacts", and the problem is that the methodology that is actually foundational to engineering need not be applied to physical objects. Further, it's not clear that

You're close. The Welsh or Icelandic "ll" is not quite the same. That's a "voiceless lateral fricative", lacking the alveolar break that earned it the "t" in "tl" for the Latinized spelling.

It's not just DLL hell. Cygwin was also notorious for being really out of date. Security vulnerabilities and missing features were both very common at one point.

USB-C is rated for 10,000 connections, while Lightning is rated for 40,000. Except if you disconnect and reconnect your phone 4 times a day every day of every year you own it, 10,000 is enough for just under 7 years. And Lighting was introd
