An Intel CPU is a pretty large design. I'm not sure it's feasible to run all formal verification benchmarks on a full RTL design of the entire chip, including caches, memory controllers, etc.

Not to mention - these sort of fault injection attacks are way past issues in high-level RTL, and instead are in the post-synethesis, analog/metastable domain specific to a given target process. Simulating those effects sounds prohibitively expensive, and I'm not sure there is any existing formal verification suite that can even do that.

Unless someone modeled at a higher-level that modifying an MSR can cause undervolting, and then this undervolting can in turn cause bitflips to occur, this wouldn't have been caught. And if they did model it, they would have probably thought of this attack anyway :).

Adding someone into a solo project introduces social overhead. That's not necessarily a bad thing and can even be a very good thing (I much prefer making music with other people and seeing how our influences mix as opposed to making music solo). But there is a cost/risk there which I could certainly see some solo developers just not being interested in taking on.

On the other hand, since this is OSS, if an organization does need N>1 badly enough, then they can commit their own resources to it, forking if necessary.
Ask HN: Why are there so many .christmas TLD's appearing on Hacker News?
I've noticed in the past couple weeks a tonne of domains with the christmas TLD have been appearing on hacker news? Currently there's 2 on the front page which seems to have been more than any other month of the year.

Why are there so many popping up? People being festive, having a seasonal-only blog? Or is there a domain provider having a offer on for christmas domains?

Year ago, back in my college years 2010-2012, I told my peers to heed my words that the world is not turning into a "Global America," but a "Global China" and at a very quick pace.

Back then, people were laughing me off. The "China model" is more irresistible to the Western soft bodied political elites than to ones in Asia. People in the West haven't really experienced what it is to live under such system, and they have no mental immunity to its appeal.

I was a regular visitor to Christy Clark's caucuses when I lived in Canada, and I can attest that there is such a naivete in the air when it comes to discussing "grand plan" type political changes, and even some jealousy towards China.

Western political elites are quietly acknowledging that "they can't pull their s* together," in private, and a sprouting of new wave of "political projects" all across the Western world is the direct result of that. Each coming with a "grand plan" political reforms.

People in the West, take a look on them and think. Are they voicing all what is in their heads, or they hide their true motives?
I'm sure there will be many useful suggestions. Mine are limited to some specific issues:

Power: strongly recommend that you install an intelligent UPS. That is one that can shutdown the server on command once the battery power is below a set threshold.

Non-fixed IP address: the simple solution is to configure one of the many dynamic DNS services. Most firewall/routers have support for this feature.

Internet facing server: Although you can use DDNS, I personally would rather have a well firewalled server doing suitable pull requests.

Gmail: you can configure either LDAP or POP3 and periodically copy down all your emails. POP3 is a bit simpler to set up, whilst LDAP has more features. You could use Thunderbird or simply a suitably configured SMTP daemon.

Duplicate files: the 'fdupes' utility can be very useful. However, I recommend doing a backup before you run it. There are scenarios when a malformed command can delete more than you had intended.

Backups: no matter how much storage you have on your HTPC it would be prudent to configure scheduled backups to external hard-drives which then you store securely, preferably with at at least one set at another location.
Of course they do. Western technology corporations provide the tools, the Chinese regime proves it works and then everybody else wants it as well. This is the process. It is not democracy though. The police should not dictate the policy.
People are allowed to refuse cash for goods and services whenever they want for pretty much any reason other than discriminating against a protected class of people, including not wanting to handle cash as a form of payment. Amongst other things, this allows ecommerce to exist.

The legal tender laws just mean that if you offer a sufficient quantity of legal tender in settlement of debt, your debt is discharged and they can't sue you for non-payment. This ensures cash has value, and means that most shops will take most forms of cash, even if it means queueing up for counter service because the kiosks are card only

`unwrap()` is "handling" errors by crashing the program, so it shouldn't really be used. It's common in examples, because it's usually the shortest/laziest code possible. However, all practical uses of `.unwrap()` have better alternatives, e.g. instead of

if foo.is_some() {
let unwrapped = foo.unwrap();
}

you write:

if let Some(unwrapped) = foo {
}

There are plenty of combinators like .map_or(), .ok_or()?, .filter_map() that deal with optional values gracefully.

I agree that any aggressive towards the maintainer is unwarranted, even if I personally disagree with his move. In particular this comment quoted in TFA amused me:

>Then drop it and let someone else maintain it.

I want to reply to this person: then fork the last open source version and maintain that. That's the whole point really. Besides he apparently made the change two years ago and people only start noticing now, it's pretty clear that there's not a vibrant community of contributors ready to take the project over.

It's not entirely fair in this case because of the certificate needed to sign the kernel module but if it's really that difficult to get a certificate from Apple as an open source project that seems more like a problem with Apple than with osxfuse's maintainer. Besides what can he reasonably do? Just give the certificate to whoever asks for it? That's going to get it revoked by Apple in approximately 4 femtoseconds.

Companies benefiting from the work of opensource projects and not giving anything back is genuinely a big problem IMO. It's not illegal of course, but it is unethical in my opinion. Look at the state of OpenSSL, one of the most (if not the most) popular crypto library out there, who has to beg for scraps in order to fund the project. And when there's a critical vulnerability like heartbleed, who gets mocked online? The poor guy or gal who authored the commit, not the countless multi-billion dollar corporations who deployed their code for free without paying for a thorough audit or contributing anything back.

It is also predicated on the Public Services Card, a de facto national ID card by stealth (the electorate in Ireland has resisted any attempts to implement a national ID card) which is "not compulsory but is mandatory for services" (from https://www.thejournal.ie/regina-doherty-public-services-car... ) and of which the Data Protection Commission has ruled "that the State’s retention of personal data on the 3.2m cards in existence is unlawful" (from https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/data-comm... ).

The government contest this result (and have been accused of using budgetary measures to hamper the DPC's ability to investigate and enforce their findings), but the use of facial recognition in Ireland is currently unlawful, and, personally speaking, a disgrace.

In terms of the use of facial recognition by the Gardaí, the truth is that we don't know whether it has been used - only that its fruits haven't been included in any book of evidence.

I don't see how this is any more against network neutrality than regional mirrors / CDNs.

This is an optimisation which can be made by the game developer / host, where the alternative would be prioritisation by the ISP, which would go against net neutrality.
The speed of light prevents people on the other side of the planet from having low latency. Networks can’t significantly improve latency at those distances. So, games need to avoid latency being an issue through game design or split things into separate instances.

In the end it’s just a question of where the servers are relative to you and nothing else really matters. Private networks tend to make things worse by having fewer paths available increasing the average minimum distance.

Is the regulation you're speaking of regulation that un-does the regulation that provides federal loan to anyone with a pulse who wants to major in journalism (or some other degree for a low paid field) and prevents borrowers from getting rid of said loans in bankruptcy?

Make no mistake, we regulated ourselves into this mess. Many people at the time predicted the current situation. More money chasing something drives up the price of that something. It's now pretty clear that we should have funded the schools instead of providing subsidized loans for the students.

Regulatory capture. In many states the industry successfully lobbied for licensing requirements on the (questionable) basis of it being necessary for public health.

While the basis for regulation makes sense on paper anyone who's done anything with a low margin service industry knows that whether good practices are followed in a particular workplace has almost nothing to do with education (everyone knows how to keep things clean) and everything to do with management (does management actually want these things done or does it consider them a waste of time).
I would rather recommend to stay with the name but add a prefix such as "Free Qt" to demonstrate that it is still and will remain a robust Qt branch doing without incompatible changes and focussing on the essentials. I wouldn't even mind to start with 4.8.6, but also 5.6 is OK (the last LGPL 2.1 version). Work should concentrate on stability, compatibility with relevant platforms and finer grained modularity using a standard build system (such as modern cmake). Rewriting everything just to worship the "modern C++ god" is a no-goal from my point of view.
In libraries, yes. In applications, no. A lot of errors are fatal.

That’s an obvious concern.

Lose a finger and the healing wound can have steady improvement without actually fixing the problem.

> To many developers, the main reason they contribute to open source software is for the benefit of leveraging each others work.

Then these developers need to understand copyright and licensing, and choose a license that enforces that motive. If you release under BSD, you're not encouraging companies with a profit motive to contribute back.

While I agree that stating opinions as obvious best practices is problematic at any level, I do appreciate a lot that this guide seems (I only skimmed it) to keep things basic and to the essentials.

From a lot of resources floating around and talking to people interested in getting into web development, I feel that the entry-level tooling and techniques you supposedly need to know has gotten like 10x more complex compared to 10 years ago, whereas I'm not convinced that the majority of people is solving significantly harder problems.

Don't get me wrong, most of the modern tooling and techniques are immensely helpful for aspects that were a massive pain in the past, but they can also create a at least perceived unnecessarily high barrier of entry into the field. E.g. I had absolute beginners asking me questions about problems with their docker setup, errors in their build chain or their confusions with things like redux, etc.
