Have you ever tried to fix an application that was getting denied based on SELinux policies? It's a cryptic nightmare. You run a tool that gives you some magic string and hope that it works because nobody really understands what&#x27

The problem is how do you set up those permissions without a god object? How do you fix ones that are broken on a running system? Ultimately the security systems that introduce high complexity in the name of fine grain permission controls

If you think all developers are interchangeable you're the reason they're forming a union.

The thing that got me is there are no duds. With just the short prompt in the header I would have expected a few articles that missed the mark, got the details wrong, or even make no sense at all but everything in this checks out. I think

It's very common with RPGs of that era (and all eras really) that the developers don't test every edge case and end up leaving ultra-powered (and just as many or more close to useless) builds in the game. Every feature added incr

This: struct Vec3* v = malloc(sizeof(struct Vec3)); is better written as: struct Vec3 * const v = malloc(sizeof *v); I don't love this. Other people are going to think you're only allocating a pointer. I

Funny how many people think Starcraft 2 isn't even better than Starcraft 1, especially when you add in Brood War.

Given how much memory and CPU time is burned compiling Rust projects I'm guessing it is pretty complex. I'm not deep enough into the Rust ecosystem to have solid opinions on the rest of that, but I know from the specification alon

Do the lies look really good in a demo when you're pitching it to investors? Are they obscure enough that they aren't going to stand out? If so no problem.

Ada would never have been cool. Ironically I remember one of the complaints was it took a long time for the compilers to stabilize. They were such complex beasts with a small userbase so you had smallish companies trying to develop a treme

by jandrese 10mo ago
The funny thing is the promise of Ada was "if it compiles it won't crash at runtime" which has a lot of overlap with Rust.

The crazy thing is Microsoft was so early with an AI product but was burned pretty badly when it instantly turned into a Nazi. Funny how the constant complaint on Twitter is how the modern AI agents are too "woke" and how Elon ha

This is just him aping every other AI CEO. Every single one has to act like the agents are super-geniuses mere moments away from achieving the singularity like people can't try them out themselves and be disappointed. Some of it is &

The problem isn't the cables in your car, it is the cable between the DC fast charger's transformer and your car. They are already thermally limited, which is why you need higher voltages to support faster charging.

Depends on the parts situation. As someone who works on my own cars I've become increasingly distressed at the car parts industry. Even OEM parts, when they are still available, seem to have had a dramatic decrease in quality over th

Improperly installed wheels that have fallen off of vehicles in motion have killed not only the occupants of the vehicle but pedestrians and other motorists (especially motorcyclists) in the past. We also allow people to fill vehicles with

by jandrese 10mo ago
Charging speed is directly related to the voltage of the pack. Even if your own vehicle had arm-thick cables to support high speed charging at 48v there is no quick charger in the world that could support it. You would be stuck in the bad

Vaccines benefit both! Not dying or even really getting sick from preventable but horrific diseases is a huge benefit to the individual!

If the results were that getting the COVID vaccine was going to give you a 70% increased chance of death from COVID I would be outraged, and also quite confused as the real life evidence definitely doesn't point in that direction. That

I have to admit I checked the author on this paper. No surprise it is from outside of the US. It's hard to imagine a US institution releasing a scientific study that directly contradicts the administration's viewpoints out of fe

Discovery really did a number on HBO.

"The price of one subscription" being the price of Netflix plus the price of HBO. Streaming is turning back into cable where everything is trapped in one bill, no matter how expensive and uninteresting some part of that bill is.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. It's the most complex drivetrain you can possibly buy with a full gas engine and transmission mated to a full EV with external charging support.

by jandrese 10mo ago
One would expect a plug in hybrid to be the most complex of all the vehicle types. It has all of the complexity of an EV combined with all of the complexity of a gas burner.

> The epoxy resin specified for the laminate has a glass transition temperature of 84°C This seems very low for the kinds of epoxy I've used. I wonder if the manufacturer specs are highly conservative? Or maybe the material has a

In general if you're trying to drive through a major city you're probably doing it wrong. Cities are far too densely populated for inefficient motor vehicles to be the primary means of transportation. You need to be using the tu

That's the takeaway I had as well. Spending a quarter of a billion pounds to get more cars into a traffic choked downtown is a bad investment. Spending that money on improving public transit options would improve the quality of life

That was why OpenAI went after the wafers, not the finished products. By buying up the supply of the raw materials they bottleneck everybody , even unrelated fields. It's the kind of move that requires a true asshole to pull off, kn
