The knife vs gun is literally the example from legal education to teach that §32 StGB requires the mildest means available in the concrete situation.

Only when threatened and self-defense has to be proportionate. If someone attacks you with a knife you would not be allowed to defend yourself with a firearm if you had one. This is very different from the law in Texas, where, from what I u

That is something that should be obvious to any developer who worked with a real QA-team or person. They just have a different mindset. The problem with contemporary software development is not only that often the majority of QA work is shi

Pascal TeX to the best of my knowledge never did it but the web2c version does. The description is a bit confusing because it can both dump only the warmed up interpreter image or the whole process, I think. "With the program undump,

Some early systems, like TeX and I believe some Lisps, took this to the extreme. Instead of patching, they loaded their config once and then dumped the configured process image to a file, which was used in subsequent invocations.

I think the idea to use the environment is misguided in general. The environment was only ever good for things like GOMAXPROCS where you want a single point of truth for all processes on a machine but in a containerized world even that poin

Small is relative. I'm looking for models that I can with run around 100 MiB mark (RAM just for the weights) to demo what you can do with this little memory. I know of SmolLM 2 which in Q4 is borderline regarding the size and rather da

Because your AI is trying to be helpful and as we all know the way to hell is paved with good intentions. The canonical example is probably the agent that runs out of diskspace and starts deleting stuff outside its workspace which is obviou

The attack surface Linux offers is gigantic but your agent doesn't need most of it. We can live with an agent not being able to run a 20 year old Oracle version. That is why kernel shims like gVisor are interesting.

The radiation exposure caused by the flight is a known. Fraunhofer institute once had the calculator they made for Lufthansa (if I remember correctly) publicly available. You could enter flight numbers and it would aggregate your exposure.

What is even more worrying is that most do not even consider a VM necessary as sandbox solution. The hierarchy goes something like this: 0. guardrails 1. containers (=namespaces + cgroups) 2. userspace kernel shims like gVisor 3. virtual ma

The language composition is interesting. The source is half Shell, a quarter Python, almost a fifth Typescript. Among the rest is 2.3% Rust and 1.3% Swift. If you wonder what the Rust is for: It is the Ratatui TUI.

At the risk of stating the obvious: It is funny because the game was awkwardly titled: "Sid Meier's Pirates!" and this phrase was all over the place.

Haha, same for me for the language. I grew up in southern Germany, far from the sea, and all the nautical language is just gibberish to me, no matter if in English or German. In the 90s, we had a pretty popular HipHop band from Hamburg (clo
