If it was that easy, https://blog.waleedkhan.name/git-undo/ wouldn't be a thing.

Your phone might be already rooted, but that's not true in general, and doesn't mean that the kernel doesn't have an attack surface on phones.

There’s an example of it on HN front page right now, where a terminal application without privileges can trigger a kernel bug.

I guess the more accurate statement would be that human cells have the machinery to do it.

I suspect first party anti-fraud tracking methods and third party tracking methods have a lot of overlap. What are meaningful differences?

This seems to be a different error message, where faceid can't be enabled in the settings at all.

Yeah, I agree.

Can the screen hardware be tampered to give unauthorized people access to your phone? Genuinely curious about the threat model here. EDIT: > Phone Repair Guru explains that there are some workarounds like transferring some chips to the n

Yep, and those distributions function just fine without nix. The point is that that's despite the build system rather than assisted by it.

ios 15 has browser extensions, though that won't bring ublock origin to ios, or safari. I deal with it using a dns profile, and content blocking extensions.

Yeah, if every language had their build systems in order, we wouldn't have needed nix as much, so definitely grateful for what nix does. But some problems can only be elegantly solved a level below nix.

There is no disagreement there. Reproducibility is definitely a goal though. I don't really understand your line of argument.
104.
by sa1 5y ago
Yeah, that's the point, as far as you can get with C builds isn't far enough. We're criticizing C build systems here, not nix.

The builds are not guaranteed to be reproducible.
106.
by sa1 5y ago
Yeah, it definitely works, and nix works around the problem, and lets you, the user, install the packages, but the builds are not guaranteed to be reproducible.
107.
by sa1 5y ago
For the kind of reproducibility nix needs, ./configure && make && make install is not enough. It needs to track and manage the artefacts created by the build system, not just run a script.

There are issues with the imbalance explanation. w.r.t obesity, the least wrong (and most explanatory) equation will relate calories going into adipose tissue, and calories being taken out of adipose tissue. Then another less wrong equation

Nim does it compile-time to insert destructors in the correct places. (except for cycle collection, which needs a runtime GC)

by sa1 5y ago
With ARC, Nim's memory management would be closer to Rust than to Go.

You’re right. Bad example.

Tardigrades don't have muscles either. Yet they can walk.

The intent of FSF was always to protect user freedoms - where users can also be developers - and not to protect developer freedoms - where developers are a separate class from users.

Apple’s coarse location, iirc, chooses your location in such a manner that it can’t be averaged out. Maybe by limiting updates as well?

It might not be intended to limit thought, just to avoid liability, but does it limit thought anyway?

Trees also affect weather on a larger scale by transpiration - I'm just pointing out shade structures are not directly comparable. Note that buildings are also shade structures but they contribute to the heat island effect.

There are also anti-fogging solutions (basically soap solutions) available to apply on glasses.

It's fitting, how Fabrice Bellard's ideas and creations are coming together.

Yup, we can agree on that.
