There's one very simple reason that imo explains at least a part of this: people interested in using one piece of recent technology are also interested in using another piece of recent technology.

POSIX has many, many problems, but this post misses all of them somehow and then proceeds to talk about object storage? Weird article.

With none of the forks removing any of the harmful features. Except possibly Brave, which replaces them with their own.

Rapid Reset is the name given to the technique behind the attack. The cause is a flaw in HTTP/2 stream multiplexing that enables this technique.

It's worth noting that features like the one that enabled Rapid Reset are pushed into standards by the exact same companies, because they are needed for performance at their scale. So in a way this was partially caused by the existence

A number of people have expressed concerns about making the relatively simple protocol more and more complicated in the name of performance. This looks like it's going to be their "Ha, told you so!" moment.

I'm not sure calling this a "technique" is entirely accurate. It's mostly made possible by a unique genetic mutation that some tree happened to develop. All the trees this can be done with are clones of that tree.

Why would they design the system in a way that enables an app (Microsoft Teams) to interfere with emergency calls? I know this part is supposed to be fixed, but it's insane that this was part of the problem.

Doesn't matter as long as all other brands do the same.

The difference with SAT is that for SAT we actually know the opposite is true - the instances that can be solved quickly are the "rare" kind.

Sometimes they are only discovered after the closest approach. It depends a lot on where they're coming from relative to the sun.

There's a true story about Kurt Gödel's citizenship application: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_Loophole#Backgr...

What a non-comment. Care to explain why you think so?

It's not fine, it's precisely the kind of thing that needs to be regulated because the average consumer is not capable of understanding the non-obvious long term consequences.

That would be great, but given that people generally expect backreferences to work in their regexes, that's not really an option.

Yes, from the abstract: > The book is entirely self-contained, and in particular no prior familiarity with type theory or homotopy theory is assumed.

F-droid also has very different goals and lives in a much smaller and in some ways much saner ecosystem.

It's good that we moved on from such limits, but it's also important to remember that limit served a practical purpose back then and to take a lesson from that.

C has a specification and weird stuff doesn't happen as long as you follow it. Doing so is very hard at times, but if a project cares about unpredictable optimizations, then it probably also cares about other kinds of unpredictable beh

Rust is a good replacement for most use cases, but I think specifically in case where you're looking for a more predictable and less risky implicit behavior, the replacement should be more stable and predictable than Rust is at the mom

Do you have any specific languages in mind?

Why? They seem pretty harmless, are they difficult to implement?

I'm already trusting debian to provide the rest of the system without backdoors. Why would getting signal from somewhere else help in any way?

You're already trusting debian/ubuntu maintainers with your entire system . Why would trusting them with one particular app make any difference?

Why doesn't signal have a package in the official debian repo? I don't want to add random deb repositories for software like that.

Compiler development is (often indirectly) safety critical too.
