Any strategy that is so easily communicated is certainly already being countered by a hedge fund quant somewhere. And then counter-countered by another quant. And it's quants all the way down.

IMHO the real winning strategy is a Buffet-esque deep understanding of value and fundamentals. And then that really only works in the long run.

This is wrong. I'd say it's more like 5%. Blink forked from WebKit 7 years ago and development has been very active on both sides since then. And probably the majority of the attack surface is outside Blink/WebKit proper to start with (e.g. JS engine, font libraries, media decoding, networking, etc).
My memory is that System Shock had a poor frame rate even on my p60. A 486dx-33 must have been brutal.

The unpleasant answer is that if you give people linux style updates, every Windows 10 install becomes part of a botnet like the bad old days. No operating system I know of other than Linux actually gives you the option to do updates piecemeal and security is one of the main reasons why.

For the record I hate this, but history has shown that if you don't try your absolute hardest to get security updates installed onto users' machines, they're going to constantly get owned by malicious third parties. Chrome and Firefox aggressively auto-update for the same reason (if you try to manually install old Chrome for testing it'll obliterate itself on next launch!) The vast majority of users simply do not pay attention to security and will not make the right decisions if you offer them choices about updates and security, because they don't have enough knowledge or context to make the right choices.

> What's the danger here, that a program will create a chroot and that an attacker will then break out of it? So we're back to where we are now, which is not using chroots.

Not quite right

Currently chroot needs privilegs, so a program which runs sandboxed will not ever be able to chroot and will be stuck in the sandbox.

But with that patch a sandboxed program could start a chroot and then use the chroot environment to weaken or escape the sandbox it is in.

So as far as I understand this change will actively weaken the security of all sandboxes which dropped the privilege to do chroot (or never had it), which are most of them.

The main way you could take advantage of it would be in combination with a RCE vulnerability in a software which runs itself in a sandbox.

> which is not using chroots.

Currently we can make sure chroot is not used by making sure no SYS_CAP_CHROOT or similar capability is given. With the patch it will be impossible to make sure chroot is not used!

Because anyone anywhere with anyuser will be able to use it.

Which would be fine with the constraints the patch adds to chroot, but the problem is that it's known that one of the main constraints it adds doesn't work perfectly/has security gaps.

> intentionally sacrifice security for usability.

The problem is that with the patch everyone using various non-vm sandboxing mechanisms will be forced to sacrifice security for usability, it's not a "opt-in for this programs which do care".

Which is why I think putting this behind another capability or similar would be best (one a unprivileged user can have).
I don't mean you can cure a depression easily this way. But you can switch it off temporarily and let the patient experience a totally different perspective for at least some moments. In many cases this may help a lot. Many people believe what they see is always what exists and what they feel is always what the situation is. Knowing (as a result of your own experience!) you can have drastically different feelings about the same reality depending on chemicals you ingest change a lot: you know your fear, anger or apathy don't represent the objective reality (nor your self) and you don't have to act the way they push you any more.

I have high hopes for the zz language.
Especially the fact that it outputs C code. So interop is seamless.

For any systems language, interop with C is the litmus test.

With that in mind, this new language should not require 15,000 lines of standard library. A type-safe wrapper for libc should be enough...
Code is read more than written, readability matters.
> It's really not difficult; yes, it's more verbose, sure.

Can you point to a case where it's actually been done? I don't even see how you would do it in Python without modifying the standard library or reimplementing significant chunks of cmath.py or fractions.py . In languages like Julia or Haskell this is possible (and relatively easy) as a third party who's just importing the two types.

> Python has map/filter/reduce and they work fine.

Python's map has a few problems, e.g. crippled lambdas make it less useful and it returns a map object instead of the same type as the original collection. It's better than nothing, but it's noticeably weaker than map in other languages.

> Comprehensions (and genexps) are more concise and cleae for 95% of use cases, I find, so I think the right choice was made there, though I do think people do tend to reach for them sometimes when map, filter, and friends are more appropriate.

One big use case where it doesn't apply is numpy arrays or pytorch tensors. It's very common, at least in my domain, for people to initially write code with lists and then switch to arrays for performance. But despite the fact that they should have mostly the same interface, this requires lots of little syntax changes and it's easy to introduce a bug.

Haskell has this issue too to some extent, linked lists are the default data structure and `map` doesn't work with others, you need `fmap`.

> It's more similar to Ruby’s block notation than Python with; it constructs an anonymous function and passes it to another function being called. It is true that with multiline lambdas at all, much less a convenience notation for passing them to other functions, with notation would be superfluous.

Good point.

> Why? They solve different problems. @spawn is equivalent to Pythons submit from concurrent.futures, and it's buddy fetch() is Future.result(). Python has had that longer than async/await.

I do like concurrent.futures, but most blog posts, documentation etc. recommend using asyncio when either one would work, and the majority of libraries at this point use asyncio. I don't think it's really possible to avoid asyncio at this point.

Isn't the underlying problem here the idea of Intellectual Property doesn't really correspond to real property? If I have an ax I use to provide lumber to our town and you steal it physically from me, that's theft. But if you see my ax, understand how it works, and make your own to also cut lumber, is that really theft? Or is it net beneficial to the town, as now people have more cut lumber to choose from and perhaps lower prices? However, if I lobby to get an IP law, how does that serve the community? It only protects me from competition.

There's both DNA viruses and RNA viruses. RNA viruses are way more common though.

> [DNA] Viruses are far more dangerous in that regard.

Not necessarily. "Corrupt DNA" can be somewhat detected the body as a cancer cell. Our "Natural Killer" cells then kill those cells.

Cancer / corrupted DNA happens all the time in our bodies. Even healthy bodies (!!). The difference between a cancer-patient and us however, is that a cancer-patient is overrun with cancer-cells.

Our bodies naturally kill off cancer under normal circumstances. Figuring out why cancer / corrupted DNA completely takes over the body is a big mystery, especially because our body is so good at fighting off cancer under normal conditions.
When using a legitimate interest (opt-out) as a legal basis, the interest must be both legitimate AND outweigh the data subject's rights and freedoms. This requires a balancing test between the various factors to be performed first.

Similarly, you can't just legitimize anything with consent (opt-in) – the consent must be valid, and of course can't override more specific laws. You can't consent to something illegal.

So no, failing to use legitimate interest doesn't mean it's illegitimate or that consent could always be used. It could also mean that the balancing test failed, or that laws prescribe a different legal basis. E.g. the “cookie law”prescribes consent for non-necessary cookies and similar technologies.

I don't see how that would be possible, given that there is always unsafe at some level of the stack, even if only on the runtime implementation.

Ada also has unsafe (unchecked).
I would have thought the multiplayer code would
assume deterministic consistent calculations on all clients, and only share human inputs with a cycle delay to mask the network delays. If that were the case, though, then things would get weird very quickly, and likely end with a failed assertion somewhere and the game erroring out.

Perhaps instead all calculations are performed on one client, and the full game state is transfered to the rest, perhaps with some sort of delta encoding? That seems like a fairly high bandwidth approach for the 90s, but I suppose it depends on how clever they were with the state representations.

Explicitly sharing one client's rules.ini would of course be a reasonable hypothesis. Maybe there was a good reason for that during development, perhaps so that gameplay designers could quickly iterate without having to copy files back and forth with coworkers?

When should we expect brittle program performance?
Back in 2015 a "Programming Language Performance Comparison"

http://www.hildstrom.com/projects/langcomp/index.html

On my old i5-3330 these times for unchanged programs —

$ gcc -O3 -o test-c-gcc test.c
$ time ./test-c-gcc 100
real 1m36.599s

$ time /opt/src/jdk-16/bin/java test 100
real 4m49.166s

Add one Java "final" keyword —

$ time /opt/src/jdk-16/bin/java test 100
real 4m49.166s

final int array_length = 100000000;

$ time /opt/src/jdk-16/bin/java test 100
real 2m58.618s

Or make array_length dependent on a runtime value —

int array_length = 1000000 * iterations;

$ gcc -O3 -o test-c-gcc test.c
$ time ./test-c-gcc 100
real 4m48.034s

$ time /opt/src/jdk-16/bin/java test 100

Should we expect measurements to be that brittle?
