Linux distros are not npm. It doesn't mean they are infallible to malicious actors, but I believe it is possible to make them infallible for some small set of packages at least. Attacks are still possible, but if we look at xz backdoor

Thomas Kuhn wrote about workings of science as of a social institution, how science accepts paradigms and rejects them, not how anti-science activists do. I don't think it is relevant in any way. Scientists are expected to stick to t

Your arguments reminds me of logical loop. A implies B, B implies A. It doesn't mean that A and B are true. You have to be conscious to experience and to be conscious means to to experience. Maybe we are not conscious after all and do

When you have not enough oxygen it breaks. And parts using a lot of it fail first. Vision fails first, not memory, or thinking. Thinking is impaired but still works. I'm not sure how fainting works, but fainting looks to me like an ene

They argue, and I tend to agree, that their solution is more secure. 1. It impiles some function pointers to be writable temporarily, not all of them. 2. It doesn't hide writable pointers from a cursory glance not familiar with IFUNC
