How is their overall hardware support? If nothing else the vendor-specific crappy toolchains do support the vendor’s HW well, so that’s something they need to do so that devs don’t have to start their projects with implementing the low-leve

Granted that I've not been following the microplastics saga that closely, but I wouldn't go that far. Has there been any research that demonstrates the dangers of microplastics to be on such a terrifying level? If anything, we a

The automatic rebase and jj diffedit sound very nice addition to some of my most-used git workflows. Looks very interesting, will definitely have to give this a deeper try.

I can’t parse the exact meaning of the ”victim system” and ”attacker controlled system” in the OpenSSH release page. Does this vulnerability allow the attacker to compromise the original system where the user starts the agent-forwarded conn

They go into the details quite nicely in their documentation [1]. A more cynical take would be to wonder if it has anything to do with their steps trying to monetize Docker Desktop. This move puts the same stack in use with Linux, maybe giv

I've been wondering this exact same thing, with added bewilderment from the fact that after all this non-core work pushed onto the academic staff the administration is still the one function growing, and growing fast. We used to joke

How is wolfSSL/SSH? I have come across them a couple of times, but not having anyone/anything ”famous” behind them when compared to GNUtls or mbedtls always made me somewhat wary.

I've been thinking this a lot lately. One absolutely fantastic upside for just getting it done is that even if you have to redo it from scratch, you have so much better real-world understanding of the problem space. I'm inclined

Isn't this just a collection of addons/plugins on top of the "actual Redis"? If so, what's your objection? To me this amounts to more or less just expanding the Redis ecosystem, which feels like a win-win.

Could you please elaborate on the value you find in commits from other people that are along the lines of "more tests" or "first sketch", as opposed to crafting a coherent single commit with a thoughtful commit message?

Thanks, gonna steal using the Linux kernel development as an example regarding this matter. Probably also any huge-scale repo like Google or Windows would work, but Linux is awesome because open source. I'm honestly rather confused on

Well, the advertisers that have no morals will, naturally. That's why setting up these global spying networks should be made illegal. Or, like what TFA is about, why other parts of the modern technology stack providers should be making

But that bullshit of course. Advertising has existed for hundreds of years in different forms, and it also existed in the Internet, without the planet-scale tracking and spying networks the tech giants have now set up. Nobody was complainin

Yep. I also wouldn't care at all if "forcing" reader mode like this would most certainly break some pages. I wouldn't want to stay on pages like that anyway, so I would lose nothing.

Thanks for the addon! Just for the sake of curiosity, what do you think it would take for your addon to be ported to work also on Android?

I got the feeling from the styling of the text that the author had purposefully chosen a presentation that closely mimics that of a dead-tree book. I thought it was a nice touch, and fit well with the overall atmosphere of the piece. ...but

This was a refreshing write-up. I admit I went in being ready to cringe at some bad metaphors, but the author pulled it off. Overall, the whole piece gave me quite systems thinking vibes. For example, this part (well, and also the other 2 o

Everything you described is still a shared secret. Hashing your password client side is just a way to create a random, shared password. Yes, an attacker has a much harder time getting to your password, but they don't need to if it&#x27
