It looks like thinkpads are the only real competition. Also they have removable SSDs which are good for device longevity.

The density has increased with things that aren't useful. You're browsing the file listing page (<> Code tab) but it now has a bunch of extraneous stuff on the right hand side (Did you know that this repository has 0.5% Perl

Doesn't seem to limit them? Using something like Caja https://developers.google.com/caja/docs/about might work, using object capabilities rather than ambient privileges. Not sure if Deno helps at all there th

This is an excellent read - the topic of UIs for terminal emulators might seem dry but the author has done a really good job with this user manual. It's the library to replace ncurses. Worth a look for any Linux programmer.

This only says they'll certify ThinkPad P series, which are mobile workstations not the more comfortable laptop ranges. Reading the title you'd think it might be workstations, and all ThinkPads.

The authorized_keys file will not change. ssh-rsa as a key format will stay (it isn't specific to sha1 or sha2), just the client and server need to upgrade to sign/verify session-specific signatures using sha256 instead of sha1. r

It makes it simple to fulfil copyleft obligations to distribute source. Also helps avoid losing source to old programs - a custom vending machine firmware I know embeds source. It would be cool if someone made a cargo-quine rust crate that

To me it seems likely the percentage is even higher in other programs - a web browser has a pretty complicated privacy/isolation model compared with most other programs so that increases the 23.9% "Other" here. Normal "l

SSH agent has other interesting possibilities too - it's an opaque channel from far server to your local machine, there must be various cool hacks you could do. Years ago I wrote something to copy a file from a remote machine to my des

A bit tinfoil hat, but could it be an attempt to head off Firefox Containers which would be a threat to Google Cookie collection? That's certainly my main use case for containers, using Google Music without telling the rest of the web

Sounds like "the offending SSH file" modified was sshd, so it captured passwords that were used for auth to the server?

Does Go vs C++ account for some of the performance difference? My limited experience with Go suggests it's way more noisy with strace, which can't be great for throughput.

A few years ago I used SketchUp to model some house extensions, was pretty useful to model window sunlight and shadowing through the year, and double check draft plans from the builder in terms of layout. It seems to have gone web-only now

Yeah, but then you have to wait 5 minutes to build the deps again. If it cleared the stale ones it'd be fine.

"The size of rlibs on disk has also shrunk by roughly 15-20%." This is very welcome! The size of building a few rust projects on a laptop disk is fairly incredible sometimes. I guess cargo needs to learn clean up prior-to-latest d

I wonder if positioning the webcam say 2m away looking at the general workspace would work better - not just the head. Need to have highish res video for faces still to be distinguishable though.
