It seems like this might be a possible instagator of the Australian "Assistance and Access Act" having his own Signal and WhatsApp messages somehow publically exposed? A fair bit of schadenfreude going on there. (press escape quic

It worked fine in Intel compiler. We used it a fair bit to sort out hot paths in C++ for high performance computing (where Fortran was the other main language). Now Intel have moved to LLVM as their compiler base I wonder if they've pu

Debian doesn't usually use netplan? It's written by Canonical for Ubuntu.

Looks sensible! Seems like it would need an underwater rotating connector for the power, given it swings with the wind? I'm sure it's doable but seems like an engineering challenge.

Would oil in a system like this need changing, or could last for a part lifetime as a closed system?

I'd disagree. Using something like Embassy is pretty pleasant for embedded development, less worries than C. The only issue is maturity. There were sufficient crates to write a ssh server for a rp2040 (mostly out of curiosity) using wh

A decent question, I've wondered about Rust programs on openwrt but at the moment they're just too big! Linking the stdlib into every binary doesn't help, and the code is generally larger than the C equivalent. It doesn'

The debian ones seem to have more bespoke languages to learn rather than shell script fragments, and more mystery dh-* things that need to be known.

Diceware has been round for ages to do this (2 decades+?) https://theworld.com/~reinhold/diceware.html I made a little android app using it to generate passphrases, each word gives 13 bits. So 6 words is plenty for a d

I think your automated alerts are probably too low sensitivity (understandably, because it's probably an impossible scale to handle if they're able to catch false positives). FWIW I've seen similar for a short period of time,

Canonical only having snap releases was harmful to adoption. I liked using lxd, but uninstalled snapd (forgetting lxd used it), and my vms obviously stopped. Snap wouldn't reinstall properly (various inscrutable errors), so I moved it

I suppose it could be self referential with a CRC at the end! Or after sever iterations it might need a secure hash function instead.

How do you convince them the mobile app is doing what it says? There are so many layers of things that are completely invisible to a human without using other computer tools. Paper physically moving is way easier to understand and watch.

How many scrutineers would be able to verify that paper? Let alone normal voters. (Scrutineer might be a poll-watcher in the US?)

Your case sounds like where you'd use select()/select! to wait on multiple things? A lot of writing about async/await neglects to mention multiple potential events, but async/await's reason is really that case.

My objection is that it's simply fragile and overcomplicated software. Operations that one would expect to be instant take a second to run. I attempted to reinstall snap recently so I could use lxd (which seems good itself), and was gr

Why does the ratio affect efficiency? Naively it seems like it should just be able to use differently sized inductors.

Signing keys like ssh keys aren't so important, you should be able to replace those out of band. Decryption keys are more important to back up.

If the climate-change induced sea level rise needs 1-2 metres of mitigation, and you have 100-200 metre deep depressions, you need to cover 1% of the Earth's surface (total, not just land) with these seafloods. Doesn't seem like a

Linear growth seems like a strange phenomenon. Is there a constant sized new pool of programmers discovering it each month?
