I upvoted for the great links, but I still don't think a static binary that will break in the future is meeting the expectations many have when static linking.

The pension may be held in trust, but if the employer goes under, the pension stops getting new contributions. In many cases, this led to insolvency of the fund as well, since contributions before employer insolvency were usually not high e

There's definitely some interplay here. I've worked with what I consider to be true software engineers. They cared about the craft, about the quality of what they produced, and about the process to get there. But that team was bro

It's hard to accurately measure secretive crimes like this, but the estimates seem to put corporate tax evasion by percentage of GDP at either similar levels between the EU and US or actually higher in the EU.

Invincible is actually published by Image Comics.

Similarity in design is not necessarily infringement. Invincible is obviously based on the DC comics universe, with Omni-Man very similar to Superman both in appearance and background, and there are basically one-to-one equivalents of mos

As far as I can tell, there actually is no AWS equivalent to GCP Cloud Run. The closest equivalents I know of are ECS on Fargate, which is more like managed Kubernetes except without Kubernetes compatibility or modern features, or AppRunner

They broke things that used to work. They had other reasons for doing it, but they also didn't really care to fix the problems it created. Their ecosystem is somewhat isolated from regular PCs and caters to a different clientele so I&#

I can't recall ever seeing this option with the old System Preferences, so it might be new to System Settings; but either way, it's not universal. I have a 5-button Razer mouse attached to test with right now, and the "Mouse

Ok, I just tested three different mice (Keychron M1, Mighty Mouse, Razer DeathAdder V2) on two different Macs (M1 Mac Mini and M1 MacBook Pro) and all 6 combinations exhibit the same janky scrolling (mostly, it either scrolls too slow/

I don't think it's nefarious, I think it's negligent. As I understand it, they changed something internal to how mouse motion is handled. The Magic Mouse speaks to the OS in a way that matches this change, and that was all th

Bcrypt does not add entropy, it only adds "difficulty" and the problem with "difficulty" is that it breaks down over time. Improvements in technology and processes routinely undermine the difficulty estimates and corresp

It's not so much "raw input" as "extremely erratic". For example, when using the wired Mighty Mouse, the same motion of my finger will sometimes scroll a couple lines and sometimes scroll the entire page or not scro

Out of the box, with no custom software installed, non-Apple mice (and even older Apple mice) will have extremely janky scrolling on modern versions of macOS. Apparently, something internal to how the OS handles mouse scrolling was changed,

Does the Logitech MX Master come with a driver that overcomes Apple's "unintentional" hobbling of non-Magic mice?

The individual marketplace plans seem to exist in a totally different world from employer-provided plans. When I went from my old employer's COBRA to an MD Health Connection plan, my premium dropped nearly fourfold even with no subsidi

You're probably not getting ripped off (relatively speaking). When I quit my job to take some time off 3 years ago, and signed up for COBRA, the out of pocket expense for 2 adults came to around $2000 per month, also for an HDHP plan.

A vulnerability illustrated here is that of packages having global state which is both security-critical and world-mutable. Such a vulnerability exists in the standard library, most notably (crypto/rand).Reader which is usually fed b

Gentoo added some excellent and fairly distro-neutral documentation for SELinux a few years ago which makes it somewhat viable outside of Red Hat. It's also helpful for debugging issues even on Red Hat. https://wiki.gentoo.o

It's also worth noting that WW2 by and large predates intermodal shipping containers. Apart from some experiments late in the war, the U.S. military did not use containerized shipping to any significant degree. Everything was shipped &

Fair enough, I was just noting that "delayed debit card" has a proper name.

There's actually a term for this: charge card. Some American Express cards still work this way (i.e., you must always pay in full on time).

SLAAC requires the bottom 64 bits to be part of the host portion of the address. A network prefix larger than /64 limits SLAAC to providing link-local addresses only, which means another mechanism needs to provide routable addresses, s

It's a review of the process or the seller, not the product. That having been said, Amazon and most similar online retail "marketplaces" make the seller much less visible than the product, encouraging the reviews to go in the

The only mechanism I can think of that could have been used for that purpose, and was publicly known about (to at least some extent) in the late 1970s, would be RSA. That is strong crypto, or at least we know it is when used properly toda

As I understand it, kernel preemption of a user thread happens (and has to happen) on the core that's running the thread. The kernel is not a separate process, but rather a part of every process. What you're describing sounds more

Strictly speaking, passwords do not have to be shared during auth, either. There are password-agreement schemes (e.g. SRP [1] as used in TLS-SRP) which allow one or both parties to prove they know the password without sharing it. However, t
