They need to force hardware makers to publish all the information needed to use the hardware with customer supplied software. This does not have to be a release. But at a trigger point. EOL announcement, or on an update that removes previou

I think about this a lot and feel like we are in a horrid position. All of our core service and software is locked up in a handful of companies. For humanity and the future of software’s sake we need to go back to users of software owning t

I am mainly pointing out that arg[0] is still valid. Writing portable software is an entirely different topic.

Not in all shells, but in some exec is a pass through to the system call … Bash is a language, so again we are telling the stream to do something silly and calling it out had a security problem. The issue is not arg[0] but uninformed expect

> highlighting a problem exists Coding bugs into your programs is not a problem it’s a bug. None of the weird arg[0] examples can happen on the shell (without escaping), only when using system calls. The more I read the article the more

I think you forget the exec system call’s first argument is a path to an executable, followed by an array of arguments, where arg[0] lives. I can’t find issue with exec(“/proc/self/exe”, [ program , … ).

Yes. Anybody who has shipped software would say. I really don’t think it is a debate. The usage of arg[0] is massively understated by the article. Just go look at gcc or any modern day compiler. Its use so much that the conversion of shoul

I don’t want my browser or video player covered up because I open a new program. I fail to see how resize is worse than not being able to see it.

We have videos of kids attacking teachers for taking away devices. These things, whether we like it are not, are ingrained in society. Taking a phone away can be akin to saying you are going to cut a part of my brain out. Kids fe still go

If they asked them not to use cell phones and they did not follow the rules, what will happen when they are banned? Simply put. They had rules in place but failed to enforce them. Why will banning them make the enforcement problem solved?

I can’t tell you how many times I’d have hobbled together a tool like this to use in go. I will be converting to this. Sometimes we don’t actually want to parse yaml, we just want to mutate it without needing to module the underlying objec

Like what? I use Chrome and FF and I can't really see a difference, other than one has advertisements the other does not.

I feel like your comment proves my point. On one hand I am saying what the hell is it even? And on the other hand you are telling ME my happiness is just "because I have been conditioned to work". You did zero to address what happ

Happiness. What hell is it even? It means nothing. Why? Because I am the most happy when working at a high paying job with loots of interesting problems to solve. I would be the least happy working at a high paying job with nothing to do. H

Yes. Let’s shut logging down, never mind that they are staring at a flying drone, safe to say they are contacted. To me it’s near curule to go out of our way to not interact with people simply so we can watch them. If I were born into that

Yah. But the way it was worded is that a 3rd party company who goofed was able to go to another company and ask for access to it. I assume that some sort of configuration and opt in step would need to be had. If this had been done prior to

Why not the beef or farming industry? Or China? Isolating oil companies alone seems silly. Even more so because the entire world, including Puerto Rico also be benefits from the fruit of the last 100+ years od oil production. On top of all

I always wonder what it means to have low literacy. I seem to be able to read, but my spelling has always been bad. Am I low, or just below average? I know I am not stupid, and at least when it comes to software and computers are probably f

All fine and dandy until somebody can’t stand that somebody makes more than them and wants to point out that because you make more and maybe even spend less that your overall tax to income rate is smaller than somebody else. Taxes are not j

Actually. I find it the opposite. The 30 percent you speak of don’t care and are not in the web yelling eat the rich. The real problem is the 70% who can’t be happy knowing that others are better off than them. (It’s actually not 70% most d

We also have other things at play. If humanity is going to disappear then there is nothing for the markets to do. The money is only worth something if there are places to spend it and people to spend it on. So for the markets the best move
