I can't really comment on the quality of the game or experience or how buggy it feels because I've never played it, but I will say that counting fixed crash situations is a somewhat arbitrary and useless metric. If each of those

I think that's essentially just what I described, with the main difference being that I think we'll only actually get there if we approach it from the angle of PII being something intrinsically owned by the individual, not the com

Why are we even going there when the article, and the NHTSA report note some very easy first steps? As Ars has noted time and again, Tesla's Autopilot system has a more permissive operational design domain than any comparable driver-a

Even with the FPS adjacent games there's a lot of untapped potential there since your input is so much more rich. For a along time I had the idea to create some FPS rogue type game (because I was more interested in the mechanics to fol

Eh, as a developer retention program, to keep the community they have happy by allowing them pet projects that get the OpenBSD name behind them (which gives them at least a bit of marketing), they could do worse.

In my middle school we had to take a rotating vocational program, where each quarter your class was shifted into a new room and teacher to learn something new. I learned to sew in that program (but alas, since there were six areas and four

A 1.5x increase is a 43% more than a 1.35x increase. Also, why wouldn't labor costs be factored into that inflation increase, and why would infrastructure costs be more than inflation?

Congratulations, you've avoided providing any useful details about your suggestion again. I'll ask a different way. If your plan is to just add more managers in a single level above the bottom, how do you expect the CEO to deal wi

If you have 100 people at the company you should have 19 managers with about 5 people each? And then the CEO has to manage those 19 managers, and has 19 people under them (because what is a CEO other than the person managing what's do

I'm not sure why you think a single sentence at the top is better than a link to website that documents it, nor why you think it's the job of the source repo to explain what it is instead of how to build it. Sure, in some cases y

I assume it's the $20 billion in security services statement compared against their ~$200 billion yearly revenue. I'm not sure those security services are all for the U.S. govt though.

As a comment on the LWN article noted, it might be better to think of it as a safety feature, not a security feature.
