It's a bit of a question about what kind of GPU programming we speak about. Like you have complex GPGPU programs which have nothing anymore to do with graphics, programming of Graphics (shaders) and using programming for Graphics to do

it really isn't irrelevant in edge cases sure most people don't write code for such edge cases, like ever but e.g. systemd does sometimes because they reliable appear when running things at e.g. googles scale

not one large blob, many small events binary blobs is just the biggest example and was only mentioned in relation to the "lingua franca" argument, many other common things are also larger in JSON. Only if you have many larger not

yes but no there is more then one JSON standard and while the JS in JSON stands for JavaScript it doesn't directly means it is using JS types as confusing as it might seem. the initial definition of JSON by itself has no limit on integ

Which makes me wonder how performance sensitive is the task D-Bus handles? Most task done over it seems to either fall into the "from time to time but not really performance sensitive at all" category or the "a mass of system

The problem is that the scaling law goes in two directions, things becoming (potential exponential) cheaper because they are done (produced) a lot and things becoming _(potential exponential) more expensive_ because the scale you try to arc

I don't think if complexity is the right metric. front-end JS can easily also become very complex I think a better metric is how close you are to reinventing a wheel for the thousands time. Because that is what LLMs are good at: Helpin

if you are not running cups browsd some kind of printer auto discovery service you are not affected, and multiple distros e.g. only start it temporary if you are about to print. So even if you run cups in some cases you also have to activel

Which still doesn't mean exposing everything publicly, but that is a different discussion. In general I agree, most people affected probably didn't choose to expose the port it just "somehow accidentally happened".

not really I mean it depends a bit on your living situation. I mean at jobs (e.g. self employed) you have to sometimes print things I guess often enough for it to be a viable attack. And as a student if you might also sometimes prefer paper
