I was curious about this so I looked around a bit. My interpretation is that GrapheneOS still has not cracked this nut. Neither has iPhone, unless you enable "Lockdown Mode" https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-

I guess I like the idea of having to think a little more deeply about how memory is used while I'm programming. I know that might sound a bit odd, but before I started learning and using rust, I remember being much less aware of certai

Okay I could see that - like implementing linked lists would be easier yeah? I just feel like not having GC is sort of a deliberate, core design choice for the language. Having strict ownership rules and being forced to think about referenc

I really like rust because it does NOT have garbage collection. Can someone smarter than me help me understand the benefits of having GC in rust specifically? Does it enable things that are more difficult in "non GC" rust?

I would really appreciate it if someone in the know could explain to me how a markov chain with some backpropagation can surpass human cognition. Because right now I call BS.

An LLM is not a suitable substitute for purpose-built SAST software in my opinion. In my experience, they are great at looking at logs, error messages, sifting through test output, and that sort of thing. But I don't think they're

That sounds terrifying. Stay out of my ~/ thank you very much.

I'm assuming you are talking about agents like claude-code and open-code which rely on GPT functions (AKA Large Language Models). The reason they don't detect these risks is primarily because these risks are emergent, and happen o

Are there downsides to doing this? This was my first thought - though I also recognize that first thoughts are often naive.

How exactly are you turning my comment into defending Facebook and Google? If that's how it comes off then I believe it is being misinterpreted. I would also argue that Linux does have it - at least in Ubuntu it does with snaps. And pa

Can we all just agree that cyber criminals suck? Especially if you are a legit developer who wants to offer useful apps to the world? Don't get me wrong, I can't stand surveillance, and I think age verification is virtue signaling

Does anyone else ever think "that code I just pushed into my repo just took down all of github..." whenever it goes down around the same time you sync your changes?

If Citizens United is not challenged, we will end up being governed by corporate billionaires. Forcing age verification down our throats will be the least of our worries if this continues.

I feel like this is why the communication medium matters so much to how things are perceived. There is like this extra layer nuance and detail that is critical in email/chat and must be accounted for. Like the "Thanks!" thing

Because it demonstrates flexibility. But I can imagine contexts in which impeccable punctuation is far, far more important.

You know what they say about walking a mile in someone else's shoes? By the time they realize it, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have their shoes!

Have I not established quite thoroughly that I am an outlier in many ways? Also, outliers exist. Also, being an outlier does not automatically equal "incorrect".

Indeed. I am quite maladapted to society. That's my point - thanks for making it more obvious!

One of the best people I have ever worked with was somebody I interviewed and recommended be hired. She missed her first interview entirely. I was waiting for her to show up, annoyed that she was late, and she called me and said she needed

Because it was. Was probably this person's 10th interview of the day. They probably only need the simplest of infractions to weed someone out given the absurd volume of applications they receive.

Would you want to work with you? Maybe yes. But if I am making a choice about who to work with, I would prefer someone who has enough empathy and awareness to realize that it's possible that the interviewer might be running behind thro

Oooh this is good! So - I agree with part of this. When a conversational partner chooses to communicate a certain way because of how they want to be perceived, they are living out their values. And I admire that, and I think it is an import

I find that context has a strong affect on how I decide to communicate. How I respond to communication in a professional setting, both emotionally as well as practically, depends on whether the message is an asynchronous medium like email,
