Another factor is that Rust is testing LLVM's codepaths in ways that Clang rarely does. A lot of bugs in LLVM have been uncovered through Rust.

> "sure, that material might not be the most durable on the market, but unobtainium would have added $35 million to the project cost and ongoing maintenance costs would have gone up by another $5 million / year."

> That right there is a comparison that developers can never, ever offer anyone that's writing the checks for a project.

Sure they can. At Google there was an internal cheat sheet of "numbers every engineer should know" which included the cost in dollar terms of trading off engineer time vs. memory vs. CPU vs. network vs. user-perceived latency etc. (Actually there were two of them - the more famous one is the Jeff Dean version that traded off CPU cycles vs. L1-L3 cache misses vs. RAM latency vs. sending data over the network vs. compression vs. disk latency etc, measured in nanoseconds) If you had any moderately complex new system, you'd prototype a few different approaches on a small set of sampled data, do some multiplication to figure out how much it'll actually cost in production, then compare that against the engineer time needed for various optimizations. If you were in a revenue-generating area like Search, somebody (usually at the executive level) would also be calculating how much the project was likely to make or lose for the company and ensuring that's acceptable. Not all that unlike any traditional engineering field.

The thing is that the overhead for this process really only makes sense at Google scale. For the vast majority of new software projects, revenues on success >>> developer time >>> hardware cost. So you just assume that if you can get the job done in a way that satisfies the customer, it'll be wildly profitable, and the primary factor to optimize for is developer time. And if the developer can build it, the hardware costs needed to run it will be negligible, so just buy more hardware.

This is an artifact of the software industry essentially being a gold rush, where it's rapidly eating the rest of the world and replacing non-computerized processes that are millions of times slower. When you have 6 orders of magnitude to play with, you can play fast and loose with estimates, because any acceptable solution at all will make you a lot of money. When software has eaten the rest of the world and new systems are competing with existing computerized systems, then it's worth it to start paying attention to things like efficiency, security, TCO. There's some evidence we're approaching that point, but we're not there yet, and it's still more advisable for an entrepreneur to tackle an old-school non-computerized industry than to try and improve on existing software solutions.
Technical measures can not be required to cover security holes. The holes must be closed. Otherwise it falls on users to audit all sorts of stuff they dont understand - and by users you can include developers.

A lot security issues will boil down to the CISO / consultant saying: You have to spend a lot more on your software infrastructure, hire more staff and keep shit up to date and not use bottom barrel $10/hour offshored engineers. It will have to become company culture to keep shit up to date and do the basics in security. Like with equifax:

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/10/a-ser...

And when that is the problem you have to deal with, it's more about executive buy in and management than it's about any sort of security expertise, and that seems fairly difficult to do at most companies with really large systemic security culture issues such as that.

Because it absolutely interacted. That community and collective effort was built to suppress Helot rebellions by overwhelming military force. Their extreme of social mobilization was only possible or desirable because of common threat, in this case of their own making. You cannot separate the social structure of a ruling minority from a ruled majority, the former is always shaped by the interaction with the latter.

The question is: what are you going to argue for instead? Not using the web at all is a non-starter, especially in the retail space where you'd get killed by a web-based competitor.

I don't know what your experience is, but historically my bosses haven't given half of a damn what tech stack I use. They care that I deliver on what I promise. Hypothetically, I could still be using PHP/HTML/jQuery but there are a great many reasons I don't and not one of them has to do with padding my resume.

ah, this is one of those moving the goalposts things people talk about. You say one thing, someone comments on it, and suddenly you meant something much more restrictive. I don't see this one in the wild on HN that often.
One thing I like about this post is how it enumerates all of the dead ends that involved a lot of investment but produced no fruit. This is what is difficult about exploiting hard targets. What the general public doesn’t see is the massive amounts of “wasted” time involved in bug hunting. Instead, they see the headline about how some wunderkind exploited X in a matter of seconds or minutes, conveniently omitting the part where that person spent the last year staring at code, writing tools, fuzzers, test harnesses, and finding nothing at all - not knowing if they would ever find anything, or if there is even a bug to be found.
Is the SR-71 constrained by its engine or airframe? I know I’ve read that if the plane went any faster something would start melting and the plane would be lost but I don’t recall if it was the airframe or the engine.

So what does that even look like? Odds are it looks like this:

I guess what you're saying is that the press should just not be allowed to report on this stuff.

The exact monetary cost of work time and application downtime (if there even is any, maybe you just shift the load to the second box) varies greatly depending on the context in which the respective project is run (hobby vs. paid-for, I've had both types), which is why I offered time estimates for these costs instead of a monetary amount. The stated monetary amount of "zero" refers to the provider not charging me anything for the new disk itself and the work of changing the disk.

I respect your comment, but I think it's a narrow look at what Qt is and what it's used for.

You mentioned "native UI SDKs" having become preferrable, but keep in mind that in many scenarios, Qt is the native UI.

On desktop Linux there isn't a lower level toolkit Qt is translating to, but also in the many embedded products Qt is used on: Car and aviation infotainment (a prominent example is Mercedes-Benz' MBUX OS, but there's literally dozens of these built on Qt and shipping), medical equipment, industrial machines (e.g. the entire HMI sector), kiosk systems, coffee makers, ... Qt is an excellent choice for these, often the only one, and the web stack is very unattractive there due to performance/hardware overhead, quality, security, etc. They're product use cases in industry, with a lot of available very high-paying jobs.

And it's worth keeping in mind that the use cases I cited above by and large pay better than making desktop software does today, unless you're an entrenched player like Autodesk (which uses Qt doe many of its apps). In the only "this pays for a decently sized staff of engineers" desktop app products that are new that I can think of, Qt is also still doing well - say, Pix4D's apps for drone mapping/photogrammetry - because they likewise solve hard problems where you don't want to deal with the web API abstraction/quality barrier and performance overhead.

My bottom line here is: Right now, and very likely ten years from now, if you are good at at Qt you're probably going to work in a very good and stable job at a solid business. I don't see this being the case for Electron developers, and I know where I'd rather be.

As for making desktop apps, if your experience is "Looking at setting up alone, With Qt you have to struggle to compile a massive library which inevitably won't work" it shouldn't be ignored and the developer experience should be improved - tooling, build system and getting modules to devs are all mentioned in this blog. However, I have to say this has never been my experience - between Qt being packaged in Linux distros and the SDK installer on other platforms it's never been hard to set up Qt for me.
What if I told you there is a theory about good module design and if you follow the formal rules of the theory (not design principles mind you there's a huge difference) good and organized designs can emerge from just knowledge of the theory itself?

There's one big difference - Israel has an economy independent of the Palestinians that is sufficient to sustain its society. This makes isolation and separation a more viable strategy, and makes the dynamic closer to that of late European imperialism. (There are particularly close parallels with the French in Algeria.)
There are certainly a lot of cons, yep. I feel like a lot of the arguments here are a bit apples and oranges, some people are getting really upset over it.

But sometimes, you just need a ton of bandwidth, compute, RAM, etc. and don't care about managed services..

NTVDM used to contain an x86 emulator included for running DOS programs under Windows NT on non-x86 platforms (Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC). There is no reason in principle why they couldn't have used that existing code on x86-64. But, I assume they decided that the cost of doing that (in developer time/etc) wasn't worth the benefit. (Running DOS programs has little commercial relevance any more, and the small minority who still have a need for that are better served by more fully-fledged virtualisation solutions such as Hyper-V, VMware or VirtualBox.)
I don't think this is a realistic depiction of the threat model of people who would hack commercial jets. Sure, state sponsored APTs probably could access it if they wanted, but none of them are in the business of crashing passenger planes. Maybe tracking them or grounding them or stuff like that, but they already have those capabilities through economic or bureaucratic or military power. The "bad actors" of concern here are the same types that have brought down passenger planes before - small, independent groups or lone wolves. And they are the ones who would benefit from the code being open sourced.

MacOS and related don't run the airplane. Pilots have an iPad for some checklists and other things where "have you tried turning it off and on again" works as failure prcedure. If a failure, caused by a compiler bug leading to an overflow in a rare flight situation, happens on an airplane system a reboot is not really the option you want to depend on.
gah at the worst time too. Thanks for reporting that! it's updated now.
Presumably both, to a large degree, since it's probably a pretty optimized aircraft. The engine & inlet are designed to compress the air using the shock patterns that develop at certain Mach numbers. Beyond that Mach range, it won't work. Likewise they probably didn't bother designing the airframe to work at speeds in which the engine couldn't.
I didn't forget about them (my own degree is in CE) and did say I was being somewhat contrarian... And started off impugning on the notion of jealousy (possibly driven by economic value -- I'm not making professional use of my CE degree in part due to $$$) rather than inferiority or even competence in those who stir up the "ugh webdevs am I right?" rhetoric. We probably don't disagree much on the value of people, generally speaking, or the lack of recognition of types of excellence including all the great volunteer work going on in free and open software.
So what are you suggesting, just randomly shutting down things that cause emissions?

I don't think you can reduce emissions without either impacting people's lives (jobs, lifestyle) or improving efficiency. And unless you do it very carefully, anything that impacts people's lives has a good chance of getting someone into office who promises to undo all those changes and then some.

Not a lot of hackers care about Android app security so there's barely any hackers participating and little competition. Most apps have never had anybody do a security review.

Additionally the scope of the program is so wide that you can look through hundreds of apps from companies that have no security posture at all. Finding bugs is easy and payouts are more than generous.
> This is the new VC-funded business model: you use cash as a kind of anti-gravity machine, letting you do things no competitor would do because they aren't economically rational. The bet is that, if by defying gravity you can reach a monopoly position, you'll end up making back all that cash and more. But as MoviePass demonstrated, once the cash dries up and gravity starts applying to you again, if you haven't reached that monopoly position, the fall is quick and painful.
