> There are a lot of use-after-frees and out-of-bounds accesses, buffer overflow in there. Yes, and they’re in the runtime itself, which rust cannot protect you from. Rust cannot protect lifetime enforcement for GC objects any more than

…because the overwhelming majority of memory safety bugs in js engines (v8, JSC, and spider monkey) are in operations that would be in unsafe blocks in rust as well? In multiple decades I can think of a handful of engine bugs that would hav

No? There is no nuance here. The Swinton case is afaict a discussion on basic deterministic contrast increase. There is no element of "AI enhancement". AI enhancement means "apply a statical model to make up information that

you can't boot the arm Macs into target disk mode, you can only boot to the recovery os and share the drive - it shows up as a network share iirc. I was super annoyed by this a few weeks ago because you can, for example, use spotlight

As it should. AI “enhancement” is just making up extra details in the video that aren’t there to begin with. There is no rational basis to allow it to be used because the only reason to present that “enhanced” footage is because the actual

That’s quite a definition of masculine you’ve got there. Trucks don’t have a cool factor unless you already like trucks, normal cars - hell my decade old Prius C - handles “the dilapidated infrastructure of the modern city” with ease as wel

Oh yeah, I know it wasn’t ms security reporting it or anything, I just found it funny (and ironic I guess? given this report came out a few days later). Wasn’t it an annoyed database administrator?

Drug laws are hard - the reality is that enforcement is extremely biased along race and socioeconomic lines, but at the same time a bunch of drugs have real reasons for being banned. The issue to me is how it becomes penalized - especially

What does Apple do to stop people migrating? I’m genuinely curious given the only consistent thing I’ve seen boils down to “we want to use iMessage without paying for it”

Yeah, they’re entirely different classes of failure (from a security pov, not personal failing, esp nothing the old xz maintainer did). Also the only reason the xz attack isn’t overwhelmingly worse than the MS attack is because it was cau

Why would “everyone” want a giant truck? Harder to park, we more fuel, carry fewer people for the same size+weight ( if you need a bigger vehicle). The reason people aren’t buying pickups is because they’re vastly less convenient and more

IIRC they were introduced aggressively as being a non-propagating, non fruiting tree or something, both of which turned out to be false, but by the time people realized this it was far too late :-/ Reminds me of SF planting Pōhutakawas

For me the single best feature is pet detection in photos, 100% useless feature that nonetheless makes me happy (though I'm not sure how well it deals with lots of similar looking dogs - i.e. if you have a bunch of near identical dogs

The title of the article is literally that they’re a hoax, yet your own points show they’re not “just a convection oven” and they demonstrably cook things differently from a regular convection oven. Saying it’s “not frying” doesn’t mean any

If you “build for chrome today” you create a chrome only monopoly exactly as web devs did with IE. Or you could build your site properly and have it work on more than a single browser. You do you.

A few reasons have been previously discussed: plenty of diff viewers highlight non-standard characters being a big one, the other bit being if someone does see this error it seems entirely plausible as a mistake. Choosing something atypical

Plenty of people have got digestive system paralysis, so that’s a downside. Obviously the big issue is that for people with diabetes this has made the drug unavailable for actual medical problems that don’t have other treatments. Long term

My guess is that they’re senior engineers. If you’re just beginning now even rent is twice what it was when I started, but starting salaries are not. Houses are easily more than twice what I paid as well, so now you have less money left ove

Love to know what high paying software companies don’t have mandatory office attendance? Also there’s a chasm between “it’s a 1 hour drive each way” and “it’s a 1 hour drive each way during commuting hours”. The real kicker is the overlap b

Elders here I think means “the kind of people who care more about personal status than any actual value to the company”, so that means most C-suite asses.

No, they're doing that because there's no way to actually do what is being demanded safely. Again, parents should be (1) explaining porn to their kids when they get to the age where that might matter, and (2) be involved in parent

The issue is not being controlled by a Chinese company. The issue is they’ve adopted the “sell user data” profit model that is super popular in all of tech. You should not be complaining about opera because they’re owned by a Chinese compan

Systems like you're describing, exist, and the fundamental problem is that they are not even semi-permanent archives. For something to exist, someone has to host it, and the way you get something hosted is to pay for it (either paying
