Linus may be a bit abrasive at times but he's not malevolent. And I run Linux so I guess I'm in the clergy already.

A lot of that is already in ASN.1, for example for UTF-16 you've already got UTF-8 and given that even Microsoft have abandoned BMP strings I doubt any attempt to reintroduce it will get much traction, relative OIDs already exist, BCD

That's not surprising. FIPS 140 is primary a signalling mechanism for how desperate you are to sell to the USG and USG-affiliated organisations, not a security indicator. Only a company prepared to set fire to $100k or more gets to pla

Do you have the details of ASN.1X posted somewhere? Would be interesting to see what you've done with it, particularly after the ASN.1 standards folks came up with a mechanism that requires you rebuild your brain inside out in order to

How could they tell the difference between an AI slop report and a standard Deloitte slop report?

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say NI at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred.

From the other side of the coin, refereeing papers, if we were still doing this stuff via dead trees I'd get a stamp made up "this is a mailing list post, not a conference paper". Or possibly "this is a blog post, ...&qu

The whole thing of nations trying to build the fastest, stealthiest, VTOL-est, most high-tech expensive fighter they can reminds me of the generals desperately trying to engineer cavalry charges in 1917 or the navy folks dreaming about bigg

Same with other companies as well. The first time someone mentioned they drove a Skoda I was wondering how many MPG you get in a howitzer.

Most cats do tend to stay inside the house, or briefly go outside before coming back in again. Some animal-protection org here once published a story about the number of birds killed by cats which worked out to each cat in the country killi

At least it's got slightly less bad recently, it used to be 30 days critical, 90 days everything else, now you're required to perform a targeted risk analysis but it's still a lot of work to do.

There's an upcoming talk at the OpenSSL conference next month on the cost of bogus CVEs to open-source projects that covers similar ground. It also lists some particularly ridiculous CVEs that, despite being jawdroppingly stupid, still

Oh that's easy. The 4th is "misplaced/lost", and the 5th is your kids pointing fingers at each other and saying "he/she did it, it wasn't me". Finally, the 6th is FILE_NOT_FOUND, coincidentally also t

It's "the palace", not "the executive office". The US first got rid of a king, and then 250 years later elected an emperor.

There's a long tradition of doing this, like how everyone in France was in the resistance and everyone in Germany was a Mitläufer ("fellow traveller"), etc.

We have actually had one similar high-CO2 event in the past, which wasn't human made. It's called the Permian Extinction, and eliminated around 90% of all life on earth.

I took a train from Berlin to Hungary. DB at one end, MAV at the other. The ensuing week in the Czech Republic was lovely.

FIPS 140 is an indication of how desperate a vendor is to sell to government customers, and indirectly customers tied to government requirements. If you're prepared to set fire to $100K or more then you get your FIPS 140 license-to-sel

Although admittedly identifying "fake" cosmetics isn't that hard. Take any cosmetic and say "it's cold creme, with minor traces of nonfunctional additives" and you've covered 99.9% of what's out there

Alongside most-failed, SanDisk is also the most-counterfeited brand of SD card (suggested search term, "fake sandisk"). I wonder how many of the failed ones, when disassembled, turn out to not be SanDisk after all?

Also: > these numbers are from 4 core EC2 VMs Yeah, because that's the exact sort of hardware musl is aimed at. Here's my counter-bogus-statistic: musl is infinitely faster than glibc on a Nios II processor because musl will fi

Because some startup that's managed to cobble together a pizza-extruding machine that works when 20 technicians are standing around it carefully watching is not something whose future success you want to bet your business on?

That's why you need a two-axis scale, not just a line with capitalism at one and and communism at the other. Same with politics, physically Hitler and Stalin ran a pretty similar form of government even though logically one was at the

Because having everything there designed to kill you (even the weeds are deadly, see gympie-gympie) and it being located 3km from the surface of the sun isn't enough, let's factor in externalities as well. If I wanted to hide out

Real vitamin C capsules turn from green (usually, occasionally yellow or orange) to brown over a few days if not refrigerated. Also the taste is very characteristic: apple-flavored, orange-flavored, lemon-flavored, etc.
