I just don't think the anti trust case is as strong in the security industry vs. many other parts of the software industry. I don't think a Biden admin would necessarily have jumped to try and block this sort of acquisition either

Because the one thing I don't think you can plausibly say about the security software space is that there is a lack of options. It uniquely seems to be fragmented and messy compared to most other parts of the software industry,(not sur

This was the most detailed and helpful explanation of what exactly the deal is with Wiz I think in this whole comment section.

I think that is obviously the case. That being said, one of the reasons these things sell is that the majority of people sitting behind computers in large enterprises absolutely DO NOT have any idea what they were doing. Once you get to a c

That the security software industry is kind of full of shit sometimes is I think what they were getting at.

I've been consistently surprised at how common bad engineering and security practices seem to be within the security vendor space though. So idk this just makes it sound more plausible to me cause this would be exactly the type of comp

I read their website and there must be something secret they've got cooking behind the scenes cause the valuation makes zero sense to me. The whole thing reads like all the dozen or so "cloud security" plays out there. Eithe

It is true that Fedora tends to run recent kernels and so that's definitely something folks should be aware of.

You're right and I apologize for that and don't want to discourage anybody from doing business with or working with or for Canonical. All I'll say is that the recruitment process alone, if it's still as bad as it used to

I agree very strongly with your take. Fedora (and RHEL of course) ooze professionalism in a way that no other distro ecosystem does to me. It's rock solid AND comes with relatively new packages, AND they are close to stock. I also appr

For recreational programming purposes (and sometimes professional depending on the domain), they really are a distraction. The existence of a package manager causes a social problem within the language community of excessive transitive depe

For a work app doing data entry, there is supposed to be training for users, because it's somebody's job to use the program consistently all the time everyday. I would agree with you if we were talking about a customer facing webp

The green screens tend to be much quicker and more responsive than the web frontends that are developed to replace them. I've seen a lot of failed projects for data entry apps because the experienced workers tend to prefer the terminal

This is true about cross Unix compatibility. I can still dream though.

I'm in Dallas and doing just fine tyvm. I do find it slightly offensive that you would insinuate that hiring in Texas is solely about less worker protections and not that we have plenty of skilled workers in one place and with a lower

I prefer a lot of the BSD variants of the typical POSIX tools (i.e. bsdtar vs GNU tar, ksh or similar instead of bash, etc etc). Usually because they add less extensions on top of what is required by POSIX, but are still easily acquired in

by zifpanachr23 2y ago
So are the BSD tools by some definition of "behind". Another way to look at this is to say that GNU tools as typically seen in modern Linux are bloated (I know, Linux and "bloat" are kind of a meme, but it is generically

Maybe it's naive of me but I also don't really perceive much of a security imperative for NVIDIA. They make graphics cards and slop generator cards for the most part. What exactly is the threat model here that requires switching t

It's absolutely not true, it's one of the lies being told by Rust 4 Linux people. The end goal is absolutely to replace every last line of C code with Rust, and that's what they will openly tell you if you speak to them behin

I disagree. If you want to provide technical leadership by massively changing the organization and tooling of a huge project that has been around a long time, it should be absolutely mandatory to spend years building trust and doing work th

To start, not resigning when things don't go their way. That tendency is doing a lot to make the claim of rust people saying they will handle the burden of rust code unbelievable.

by zifpanachr23 2y ago
They've said that, but nobody believes them, and can you blame them given we JUST saw another big rust maintainer resign? I'd be suspicious these guys aren't in it for the long haul if they don't get their way and will l

These are all complaints specific to a particular attitude and kind of web software development that just happens to be most prevalent within a place like SV. I think the situation (loosely, wasting time spinning your wheels by modernizing

This is a massive oversimplification. The taxes and regulations are simply handled at a lower level of government. If you've ever lived in a large Texas metro, you would know it's not the wild west it gets portrayed as. Lots of pl
