If a local vulnerability that requires administrative privileges to exploit is "high impact", I wonder how they would classify remote code execution. Super duper high impact? This of course needs to be patched, but it's way o

I noticed that many people praising Ada on the internet don't actually know the language. It's odd. Why advocate for a language you don't use? Here are some common giveaways: - "Ada has a garbage collector" - It&#x2

The BSL and SSPL licenses were created with an explicit goal of protecting the revenue of SV startups. Frankly, I'm tired of portraying those startups as some kind of underdog freedom fighters. They are billion-dollar corporations upse

Whenever the topic of DJB vs NIST comes up, there are always people saying "this may look petty, but he has a spotless track record, so we have to trust him". I want to push back on this a little by linking this Twitter thread: h

It feels like every country (that is not the US) has a legend about how the X company could have been the next Apple/IBM/Microsoft if it weren't for evil/corrupt/incompetent politicians. Usually these stories fall a

Being an open-source maintainer is a mostly thankless job. You put in years of work, and in return you will get endless complaints from random users and drive-by contributors who feel entitled to your time. I mean, just look at the other th

I've noticed a pattern that many Ada advocates on HN don't really seem to know the language. So they often conflate SPARK with Ada (as you just did) and make unfounded claims about Ada's memory safety, portraying it as being

Well, yes, the article mentions the potential of the strontium ferrite, with existing prototypes having hundreds of terabytes of capacity. Similarly, HAMR and MAMR will be milked for years in the world of magnetic hard drives.
