This is like rhetorically asking, "Are you saying that doom and marylin manson aren't harmful to children?" The problem with social media isn't the inherent mixing of children and technology, as if web browsers and phone

All these government contractors are forced to pay astronomical cloud bills to get "GCC-High" because it passes the right security-theater checklist, and then it totally ignores the DLP settings anyway!

The real problem was allowing the AMA to tightly control the supply of doctors for decades---that this would even be a solution to anything. There is very real opportunism and profiteering among those advocating and providing this "sol

Yes. Actual benchmarking showed either no gains or performance regressions, depending on the benchmark, with occasional marginal improvements at certain array sizes due to cache hierarchies. This is not a general "optimization" th

Yes, most organizations are shy to release reports that make them look incompetent or highlight systemic problems. That's why we have laws that now require disclosure of incidents that may have exposed customer data.

If they simply implicated an "APT" in wrongdoing, they would have released it, as it would have been unremarkable and fit neatly within the Overton window of hissing-chinese spys justifying an even more expansive national security

This is romanticising the past. The modal person just trying to get their job done wasn't a software artisan; they were cutting and pasting from Stack Overflow, using textbook code verbatim, and using free and open-source code in ways

It was an MTV move made for teenagers. People thought it was silly and had dumb technobabble when it was released. "RISC is good." If you objected to the premise or technical content of the movie, you weren't the intended aud

Data centers won't feed people. These datacenters will likely be hastily abandoned once the AI-flavored expansion pops and will be a blight on the land that would have otherwise been growing beans and corn. At best, they will be a poor

It was widely used in engineering software because the license cost was equivalent to a large fraction of an engineer's salary. Anyone who used AutoCAD back in the 90s can remember. When parallel ports were discontinued, they migrated

> Maybe you need to try wayland with an alternative backend? And this is the inherent problem with Wayland. Now we have to deal with a combinatorial explosion of things to try to get something that "just works."

Xorg.conf has worked out of the box with no or minimal configuration for the past 20 years or so. It's nowhere near the modline hell of XFree86.

They're trying to "nudge" everyone. Major desktop environments and entire distributions are removing X11 support to varying degrees. A lot of this is because they can't get their adoption rates above about half due to v

That's X.org, which is controlled by the Free Desktop Foundation. The OpenBSD people are still working on Xenocara, and it introduces actual security via pledge system calls.

Why does Wayland "feel like the future?" It feels like a regression to me and a lot of other people who have run into serious usability problems. At best, it seems like a huge diversion of time and resources, given that we already

Restrict .scr to run as an unprivileged user without network or filesystem access, that always launches the system login/unlock on exit? This seems better than having a program that does random web requests to put ads on the lock scree

Back when people customized screensavers, you would put the .scr file (a regular exe) in the Windows directory, and it would populate the list of screen savers? I'm guessing that's no longer a thing in the name of security theater

Back in the 90s, I ran telnet on the POP3 port so I could IRC in the lab during high school. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
