I do get your point that they’re uncommon requirements but my point was Teams doesn’t any uniquely granted permissions that Google have backdoored for Microsoft. So it is entirely possible that another app / VoIP client (or even malici

And what if there is another app that causes the same bug? Teams doesn’t have any special permissions so one has to assume there are more apps out there that could be a problem.

The problem is servers can be provisioned a number of ways: * manually (like this guide) * via CI/CD using tools like Packer * Cloned (eg CloneZilla, or cloud snapshot) * via configuration management (eg Puppet, Chef, Ansible, etc) * v

There’s going to be a lot of duplication in AUR. Also a lot of package that don’t build too.

YouTube does have competition: TikTok (there is a reason YouTube released “shorts”), Twitch and Facebook (which also supports live streaming). Vimeo, Metacafe and Dailymotion used to be a lot more competitive with YouTube too. In some cases

There’s nothing wrong with your workflow but personally I prefer checking because beforehand so I have that additional assurance that I’ve made the right change. Baring in mind that it’s easy to flush the DNS cache on most operating systems

That’s a little disingenuous. They’re simply saying “I know my evidence is light but I haven’t seen any stronger envidence to support the counter argument”. The “great resignation” will be more pronounced in different cities and professions

Exaggeration, sure. But not a straw man. The rational behind the exaggeration was to illustrate how even seemingly innocuous software Easter eggs, like an additional flag, have often actually turned out to be security vulnerabilities. Maybe

Literally the only snark and aggressive comments being made are coming from yourself. I’m not going to stop chatting to other people on this subject because you’ve decided to troll me over a difference of opinion.

For goodness sake I’m trying to having a grown up conversation with someone else and you’re making out like I have a personal vendetta against yourself.

Fair enough the motives are malicious but would any kind of Easter egg be tolerated? In secure software any kind of Easter egg can end up being a vulnerability (and all to often has become one).

You’re conflating disagreement with misunderstanding. I understood your point fine, I gave a counterpoint on why I disagreed. Also calling your cake story an “analogy” is giving it far too much credit given it had nothing to do with Easter

It is used by millions and in secure systems. Sure, it’s free and the author can manage it however they want. But the reason they choose not to is because it’s still falls into the enterprise software envelope even if it doesn’t command an

That’s not an Easter egg. But also I would expect the baker to warn me that it had cream cheese if just to set my expectations. I have a tea jar in the kitchen and it’s full of Earl Grey instead of builders tea (eg Darjeeling). If anyone ma

Motives are irrelevant. It’s the application that matters. To use the example here. What if a plumber is wealthy enough to retire but continues to work because they enjoy it. And what if they then offer a job for free, eg for a community ce

Easter Eggs have lead to do many security concerns over the years that software authors have had to get serious. To put it another way, an easter egg in a TV show or movie is interesting and fun. An Easter egg in a critical system in a plan

I think your closing statement is very apt. Your points about tests et al works when there is a larger team so instead of accusing individuals for errors you’re blaming the process. But I can see that process blaming feeling a little more p

There’s no practical difference between jq doing it or shell builtins. Either way it is a piped process. Murex could ship it’s coreutils as external executables like GNU but that wouldn’t be a particular efficient way of doing it. Whereas B

I used to think that when Powershell was my only exposure typed pipelines. But after using murex I’ve totally changed my opinion. You still have POSIX pipes there for when you want dumb bytes. But you also have typed pipes layered on top to

Changes in column length isn’t something that can’t be helped. The issue is that when a command outputs to a TTY, you can use that file descriptor to get the width of the TTY (ie your terminal emulator). But if you are piping a command then

by laumars 5y ago
I know you said terminal but short of rewriting the entire stack, TTYs and all, you have to work with what you’ve got. With murex, it does actually have a lot of intelligence built in that adapts how the output stream is displayed (eg rende

Good point. Most of my movie consumption these days is via streaming services. I am fortunate enough to have a home cinema room with a projector and some pretty beefy audio gear hooked up. But most of the time we watch in the lounge where i

I really dislike post production dynamic equalisers because they’re altering the sound in a way that wasn’t intended. Sure it sometimes sounds better, but it doesn’t always. You get a lot better results when the compression is added to the

The problem with that is you need a receiver that supports Dolby Digital and most homes won’t have that. In fact my lounge TV doesn’t even have external speakers nor amp attached. So DD does t really help the casual viewers I was describing

If you’re doing any front end dev then you’ll need to test against both browsers anyway.

I’ve often wished DVDs and Blu-ray has an audio track where sound was compressed. The wider ranges of volume are fine for cinemas but absolutely terrible for casual viewing (which is 99% of home viewing). It’s even worse when you have kids

No. Competition is healthy and that includes browser rendering engines too.
