Linux is not really fragmented anymore, there is a lot of distros but they're all compatible with each other. Flatpak solved app distribution and systemd standardized the lower levels. If you build something on Ubuntu it will almost de

I don't get why they all try to protect it so much. Snowden's identity is already public so sharing the files can't hurt him. Just redact personal info and put it all out there. A journalist's only responsibilities are t

You can use the same RE tools and run your own agents as a defender. Everything they find helps you harden your setup, to the point there might be no exploitable vulns at all after a couple days of intense red teaming. It's not compl

Because American auto makers convinced the government that BYD is price dumping in every market segment at the same time and somehow staying profitable.

PIN and patterns are secure because the security module enforces rate limits, you can't brute force effectively if every attempt after the first 10 takes a minute. Biometrics can be even better against brute force (more possible combin

Maybe it's time to give up privacy absolutism and add strictly opt in live data features. That reminds me, place reviews using ATProto. Kinda surprised that no map client jumped on that when it's the exact thing you need to repl

Not every business owner is a profit obsessed psycho. Most multinational CEOs are but you can find good people at every level. The "only exist to make money" thing starts when you let in shareholders, but a company can stay ethica

Looks like you only get a yes/no result and a confidence score for each file. No explanation or function level diagnostics. This is useless.

Only if it's run by the state and free for every citizen. Forcing more bureaucracy on email providers will just make everything more centralized under Google and Microsoft. It should be a mailbox with E2E encryption where the keys are

It's a bad way to compare. Average bpw ignores the fact that some layers can tolerate more aggressive quant than others.

In the Soviet Union the state owned all media (de facto) and you had to get permission from a party official before you published or copied anything. It's not the same thing as a free for all. It's actually the first sentence fr

Closed source agents are a red flag no matter if its China or America. Always use an open harness with a good reputation and enough users that someone will notice if they push malicious code like this one here. Right now that's Opencod

Positions are better than titles for that. Compare "Principal Engineer" with no other info to "Software Engineer, Lead at Mobile UX". You know if they are your boss, not how big of a boss they are. That's way mo

Arm was never modeless. Thumb is a separate encoding with different instruction semantics and Jazelle ran Java bytecode. Both of them need a special branch instruction to enter. What they don't have is legacy modes like real, v8086 o

Communism is not socialism. What Stalin, Mao and Kim Il-sung did was wrong because they did basically the exact opposite of a socialist policy, centralizing power out of workers hands and taking all surplus value into the central governme

The only reason we have to choose between inflation and expensive loans is corporate profits can't ever go down. It's perfectly possible to freeze margins and ban increasing prices unless a business proves their costs went up, but

The part about being autistic for life is not really helpful. I personally know people who learned to "stop being autistic" from an outside POV, and they got to the point where they're not consciously masking anymore, it all

The problem with patented seeds (and everything else) is the owner can decide who gets to use them. No one should hold that power. If patents worked as a royalty system where you're guaranteed to get a license if you pay there would be

Now try 1970s public housing in Paris and Vienna, socialist blocks in Poland or projects in Chicago. It will be a lot more balanced because these places were designed for people to live in, not as radical statements. They are simple to save

I love the friendly competition between Swift, Rust and Zig. Swift has been adding borrow checking features for a while, now they also have arenas, better C interop and more language support for non GC platforms.

Most new syntax features make code more readable. For those that don't there are company style guides and `AGENTS.md`. The C++ philosophy comes down to "if it works ship it" and I don't think you're expected to use

Definitely, but make sure you're doing it with Astra. Fable will silently sabotage your work or just refuse to do it. They can help you design challenge generators for RLVR and maybe write training code but you'll be running into

Code leaks are pretty common in gaming. But they happen when someone hacks servers or pays off employees, not accidentally like Claude Code. Cheat developers all want server code so they can analyze the cheat detection and sell more reliabl

You don't need a full air gap. Set up a microVM with network access limited to local network and send all package requests through a filtering gateway that only allows normal download endpoints. Or self host a big collection of popular

Appimages are bloated and unreliable. You can't guarantee that your app will run on any machine because it might depend on different system libraries. Flatpak uses shared stable runtimes that are the same everywhere and don't take

Build scripts being able to run arbitrary code or access the network is always dangerous even if it was just local on developer machines. It's also more evidence that Docker/LXC is not a security boundary and all untrusted code sh

It's about schools. Black Americans have worse education outcomes on average because of poverty, racial bias, unequal school funding and a culture where education is not as valued as with, say, Chinese Americans. Saying this is somethi

Farms are some of the least liquid assets. Not because it's that hard to sell them but when your whole income depends on owning something you can't just decide to give it up. And the social networks you depend on for things like f
