Ah, so the actual issue is that the approach path is inexplicably not controlled airspace? That seems like a different version of bad :-/

I’m sorry, but in what world is it acceptable for an aircraft flying in an airport’s atc controlled airspace to not be coordinating with ATC? I thought that was literally the entire reason we have controlled airspace rules?

The problem is all these properties are in regions that have been in economic decline for decades at this point - sure there's a house, but there may not be jobs, many are extremely remote so even if there are jobs, there may not neces

It's standard property owner propaganda to support price gouging.

Friendly reminder: these vacancies are caused by lack of demand not rent control. Rent control doesn't apply to these 5.6M vacancies, and anyone with even the most basic common sense would say "huh, I know housing prices are skyr

It’s always been weird to me that airlines (or anything with a similar scheme) can just change rules in a way that retroactively reduces value of previously granted/earned rewards. The same issue applies to “in game currencies” that ha

Sorry I’m not clear what you’re saying - because I don’t know exactly which sentence(s) in my giant wall of text you’re referring to :D I did try to simplify things as well rather than focusing on specific language technicalities, because j

Creating uncertainty (both for users and ecosystem developers) means he’s sabotaging it. It doesn’t matter what he thinks he’s doing (my belief is that he’s just frustrated that someone else is profiting more than he thinks is “fair” and is

Ok, this is UB, calling a function pointer through a different type than its definition is a pretty clear example of UB. The problem here is that there's a confusion between "void * and char * are implicitly convertible in C"

I was just looking at my comments (which I can no longer edit :-/) and realized they're super/unreasonably mean towards the "sysadmins" from the article. While yes there are lazy/incompetent sysadmins, there ar

The problem is that sysadmins don’t want to actually fix there setups to make certificate rolling easy. And every single time there’s a compromised or busted CA, or some certificate flaw, these same incompetent sysadmins get up in arms abo

by olliej 2y ago
“Sysadmins rage against basic good practice as has been understood for more than a decade” If you are unable to roll certificates within a few hours your systems are not set up properly, and you cannot respond appropriately to compromise. T

Reasons for short lifetimes: * there is no robust revocation mechanism, so just minimizing the validity of a compromised cert is the most effective - and technically simple - tool. OCSP is not viable for myriad reasons discussed over the ye

Where does that $50 come from? If you do manage to save that, where does the money for rent, etc in the destination come from? Where do the savings to help you buy food until you can get a job come from? Moving locations is not just the cos

Way to be dismissive of poverty. The whole point is for many folk you literally cannot afford it, it isn’t “your life is worth some debt” it is “you do not have money or credit that gives you an option”: * having a car costs money, so many

Are there prison penalties for false claims? No? Huh. Weird. (Sorry, I can imagine their being penalties for an ISP/site operator erroneously reporting something, but nothing for media companies)

Happily, this kind of attack would not compromise secure communication with government mandated "secure intercept" technology, because of magic fairy dust reasons :-/

No, it’s under attack due to their relentless drive to prioritize users being force fed “profitable” ads over useful search results. The only reason for BS “AI” answers is to launder theft of web content that they might otherwise have to pa

Oh, ok, so X apps can run under Wayland, because Wayland DEs can run an X server (an existing X impl, or does Wayland provide an X translation layer/impl?) But the DE/window manager is what is actually responsible for deciding w

Ok, I’m super confused, how much work is involved in supporting Wayland vs Xserver? [editing to add: my assumption that it isn’t is due to this post - xfce is what I used to use because it was lightweight, but if such a lightweight manager

Feature/functionality wise this sounds not far off an iPhone 4 or 5 which are in the range of 50$ on eBay (not recommending this as there is the major feature discrepancy of not having the last 10+ years of cell radio protocols). (Also
