In many other countries people would take to the streets and protest until they get a new government if something like this happened. Perhaps you should try it?

That sounds pretty obviously unconstitutional. I don't see how a reasonable person could disagree actually. The whole point of the checks and balances is to prevent this.

Yep. Java is really good. Java developer culture is awful. If you instead of spring boot just pick a few dependencies you really need, you don't throw the whole Design Patterns book at it just because you can, and you don't try to

It's a lot harder to write rust than python.

Oh that's neat! I've just gotten into the habit of using only the dependencies I really must, because python culture around compatibility is so awful

That was also an obviously terrible idea, iirc to the point even python leadership aims to never do it again

> It's not about new or old. The devices that don't have any reason to be globally reachable never request it. New ones would do likewise. Doesn't this assume all devices are well behaved, trusted and correctly implemented

This is written with a weird attitude of trying to find problems with the rules. Take this for example: > This does a bounded number of iterations. The bound is N^10. In this case, that's 10^90. If each iteration of the loop body ta

> Note that setjmp() and longjmp() are how C does exception handling, so this rule bans any use of exception handling. In theory yeah, but I've very rarely encountered it in the wild. It's hard to use right in any code that has

VAT on b2b sales even within an European country are usually not that important. You add VAT to things you sell (e.g. car repair services), you pay VAT on things you buy (e.g. car parts). If you collected more VAT on sales than you paid on

Yeah, sadly, people care about convenience and not security. So you get things like this: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/04/ring-agrees-t... and somehow they are still in business, and popul

Not at all... If the question is "how could an eye evolve" it's reasonable to start from a baseline of a complex organism that has sensory cells but lack eyes or even light sensitive sensory cells. A cell sensing light can us

You could have 2 - 4 for other sensory cells, like heat or touch, and then be a single mutation away from sensing light. Iirc, some snakes have some heat sensing cells arranged in pits to give them a directional heat sense. If you did that

True in the general sense, but don't do this for IoT devices. Always remember that the S in IoT stands for Security

It seems brave to let an IoT device talk to someone over an unencrypted wan though. They're often of pretty varying software quality and rarely updated. If you really want IoT wifi devices, put them on a separate wifi, and only let the

Doesn't that assume all "capable new blood" is enthusiastic about rust in the kernel? It seems like a pretty big assumption
