I'll save you the time. It's a video of his defense attorneys saying they are unconvinced by the small but nonzero (in their opinion) evidence. I don't know the facts of the case, but even I can hear them deliberately leaving

Not sure if you're being snarky, but obviously this is very very important. It'd be entirely reasonable for someone to create a script that is meant to only use the internal private CA. When you run this command then you KNOW that

This is a backdoor. I'm not saying it's intentional, or malicious. But as a matter of fact it is indeed a backdoor. If you start adding keys to your users authentication scheme, then you've added a backdoor.

I rented a fully specced out Tesla Model S, once. That's not a cheap car. But the turn signal controls were shitty no-feedback buttons. I don't understand how anyone plowing six digits into a car finds that acceptable. It's a

Didn't people trust SBF about as much as CZ? And CZ reached a plea deal, paying $4.3 billion in criminal penalties, so I still don't see the difference. Maybe (probably) binance is in a much better state than FTX, but the CEO&#x27

As I said, I draw this impression from personal experience recently being in SF. Saying this is "reciting a meme" and "partisan media" is disingenuous. SF is a hellhole. I've visited many times over the last decade,

I'm not confused. I know that some snprintf implementations returns/returned -1 on overflow. I assume that musl doesn't, because it's a fine library. > If you were trying to be portable and defensive you'd need t

Interesting. The first snprintf() could return a negative value (at least by the glibc snprintf manpage), and then therefore the second vsnprintf will overwrite... something. Maybe their implementation can't return negative, or only if

A better comparison is that you bought 10 million bottles of forever chemicals, and poured them down the drain. Dupont would be ecstatic, but it would still not be a good thing.

What's the difference between a twitter thread that requires more than one tweet, because of its length, and writing it in something that accepts the message as a whole? Or hell, just a plugin that tweets a picture of the whole message

The one argument in this post that is just wrong is the person who blamed ADHD. "I can't write longer than a tweet!". But... You just did. Even the argument itself is an example of how it's false.

They're not just apples and oranges, but apples vs differential equations. They had completely different requirements. Like ROM being sown for Apollo. You get something completely different if failure is not an option. But also yes, it

He was sentenced to 15 years to life, 16 years ago. I'm not sure this letter is for us, or for the parole board. Maybe I'm being cynical. That's not to say I didn't find the technical parts interesting.

1. It's interesting that Rust is not just viable in some less important kernel code, but possible in core components. 2. C isn't necessarily the best language for performance. Specifically it's not very good about letting the

I read this as a validating use case, showing that real kernel use cases can be written in Rust, without seeming temporary in an unserious language until the real code can be written. Can the same algorithm be written in C? Sure, but it c
