Yet you still decided to accuse somebody of malicious intent and of being a scammer. That's not how a wise person should act online. (that you seem to imply to be by using your published books as an argument, as if that would validate

You do realize that in corporations such as Microsoft, multiple people work on the same code, and code gets rewritten all the time, right? Dave Plummer cannot know about any changes after he left the company. You seem to be not aware of tha

I think that both AppArmor and SELinux are unusable in practice due to lack of better tools for generating those configurations. There needs to be better graphical tools for this, like a "profiler" or similar that watches a proces

"Let's build a DNS parser that's spec compliant" is something that only insane people would say. I dare to argue it's an impossible task at this point. Having to read dozens of RFCs just to find out what's been

It's kind of mindblowing to see how much code floating point formatting needs. The linked dragonbox [1] project is also worth a read. Pretty optimized for the least used branches. [1] https://github.com/jk-jeon/dra

Great idea. Now realize that academia is getting more funding with more citations and that's why research in a capitalist society relies on successful research and not on failure (which objectively 50% of results should be). Then itera

As I said, the better option would be a pre-Haskell era CPU so that you can flash libreboot on it and don't have to worry so much about intel-ucode, but that would also imply a more than 10 years old laptop. I just wish there would be

If software updates are your major concern, then maybe get a device that's compatible with LineageOS and postmarketOS and flash either OS on your device? LineageOS has support for at least a decade until the devices aren't support
