I mean based on their intelligent behaviour it wouldn't be surprising to find out that they feel emotions like love towards their offspring (even if not necessarily in the exact same way as us) and they know how one feels at the loss of a loved one. So by extension, if they want to cause the greatest hurt to the opponent, hurting their loved ones would be quite effective.

The SEC is pretty much a nobody when it comes to 3-letter agencies. See how Elon Musk challenges them publicly and all he got in return was a slap on the wrist.

On a related note, the major issue with the SEC as highlighted by every knowledgeable commenter is that they have a revolving door shared with the same banks and organizations they are supposed to monitor. People leave SEC and join Goldman Sachs or JPM and then when new administrators come in they rejoin the SEC. It’s corruption at an unprecedented level.
> Why ...

well, as for the why, that's not hard to explain.

Your text editor isn't useful unless it can open files. You're saying there are some files it should not be able to open. Which files? Who decides? When is the decision made? Can a user override the decision? Does the not-openable-by-text-editor property propagate to copies? Etc. etc.

The main way to solve these problems at present is to remove the file abstraction entirely, so that you can't actually have "a text editor that opens files" at all. All you (or your apps) have is a persistent store in which a totally semantic approach is taken to defining default access patterns (so for example, your "contacts" are of entirely different status to "that thing you created in the little notes app last week".

A more or less isomorphic situation applies to internet access, with the major difference that in general this isn't solved on any platform yet (including browsers).

In general, the capabilities in a modern general purpose operating system represent a management problem that most regular computer users don't want to have to address, most technical computer users don't want to exist (most of the time), and operating system implementors have so far been unable to solve in a broadly acceptable way.

Whether this is justification enough for "hiding" all of this under a WASI-like abstraction that is capable of saying "there are no files" and "there is no internet" at just the right moments ... I don't know.
On behalf of open source software developers, go pay for commercial software yourself.
If your concerns are well separated in a monolith (in practice this means being able to call a given piece of functionality with high confidence that it will only talk to the data stores/external resources that you expect it will), adding new entry points is very easy.

Now, it's not trivial--going from, say, a do-everything webserver host to a separation of route-family-specific web servers, background job servers, report processing hosts, and cron job runners does require work no matter how you slice it--but it's a more or less a mechanical or "plumbing" problem if you start from a monolithic codebase that is already well behaved. Modularity is one significant part of said good behavior.

seriously though, to expect the Googs to do anything that would negatively impact their operations is just naive or super hopeful the world is a nice place. It would be nice to live in a world like that, but sadly it's not this one. Am I just super cynical? Maybe, but it's companies like Googs that have made me that way.

And one of the good things in Go is that you can pass arbotrary crap to fmt.Printf and it wont crash or overflow anything. So logging errors don't kill you (unlike c or python).

Ironically, tho, my tool to scan all our jar files for log4j has revealed a panic in archive/zip, something to do with a zero length file name.
I would have preferred a review that wasn’t quite as dismissive. SSDs have periodic higher read latency that could impact audio playback if the host buffers aren’t large enough. The flash translation layer periodically reshuffles data, even when the workload is just reads. I expect this drive is duplicating the data internally, and pivoting back and forth between the two copies, targeting one which is not performing garbage collection at that time. This mechanism would result in more consistent, lower latency read performance. It might even be more advanced than that - triple mirroring the data - hardening the data to two copies first, while serving the non impacted read blocks from the third copy. Although the other SSD claims do sound ridiculous, consistent read performance is a nice feature. This type of capability is expected in enterprise storage, it may have some use in consumer class storage applications, besides just audio.
He already gave some examples but to expand a little bit I was moving from a place to another 1km way (at most 10 minutes driving accounting traffic) and needed to hire someone with a small truck, I was able to find bigger companies on google but needed nothing of what they were offering even a small pickup truck would suffice my needs and the only place I got what I wanted was on Facebook (marketplace).

Public clouds are increasing their usage of ARM all the time. I don't think anyone will ditch Intel processors soon (the same way that for those outside our space, they're still buying Intel laptops), but I think we will only see that usage grow in the datacenter.

> It's gotten to the point where I give /var/log its own disk partition now,

Putting /var on its own partition has always been recommended.

When default installer/partitioners fail to do so, I assume it's a habit picked up from desktop-oriented Linux distros.

Logging to /opt would clearly be a bug of the brown M&M variety -- it would make me question other decisions made by the developers.

We may not be a hive-mind, but we have a collective effect.

DNS level blocking with a Pihole is much safer in this regard, but also less capable, since it only works on anything that uses a dedicated domain that can be identified.

In this case, google analytics only goes through analytics.google.com, so it’s easy to block at a DNS level.
Well, we genuinely do have a far better understanding of the natural world than the ancients. Many practical problems they faced have been effectively solved by technology, like food scarcity, communication, transportation etc. To me it seems more surprising that there hasn't been similar progress in our understanding of society and the human condition. We're still struggling with most of the same issues they were.
If information security people would spend the same amount of time they are spending complaining about this vulnerability trying to educate their organisations on the importance of supporting open source solutions they depend on we wouldn’t be in this situation.

For reference as to how certain Tanenbaum was that x86 was dead, he also remarked in that debate that if Linus Torvalds was his student,

"Writing a new OS only for the 386 in 1991 gets you your second 'F' for this term. But if you do real well on the final exam, you can still pass the course."

Turns out x86 had at least 30 years and counting of life left in it, regardless of what the academics thought...
A relative who is a recent grad. from IIT Chennai/Madras has lots of monkey stories. They rule the dorms. No food in rooms, don't make eye contact.

It's not like don't make eye contact if you ever see one. The monkeys are sitting on the ledge all the way up on both sides of the stairs up to the second or third floor as you walk up to your dorm room!

They also "adopted" a stray dog just to chase the monkeys away.

A key point is that it's not indeed the law. Many (probably most) of the recipients - including the author of the original article - are not actually required by Section 1798.130 of the California Civil Code do do anything even if it was a legitimate question from a real person, because their websites are far below the limits were those CCPA requirements start to apply.

The survey was making a fraudulent legal threat, requiring the recipient do some things for the benefit of the sender (namely, providing them with data for the study; also lying about how that data will be used) based on false allegations that there is a legal duty for them to respond in some certain time, while in fact there is none.

Such a good trade that they publish mean time before breakdown figures, right? And please don't pretend that the only alternative to a fridge with a more durable compressor is one that costs $10k+ for restaurants. My fridge was a reasonably priced consumer model, and has been functional for about 10 years now without any maintenance, so clearly its possible to build one for under $10k and without requiring regular maintenance. It's just hard to distinguish those models for ones that will break after 2 years.

If you’re working with time series data and using a vectorized algorithm implemented with SIMD instructions you can achieve decompression speeds approaching 15 GB/s [1].

Anecdotally when working with biological signals at my day job, compression is a massive win and an absolute no brainer tradeoff when shuffling data across the network or even just storing in memory.

That said, I think your first point is still reasonable for certain types of data and compression algorithms.

This is par for the course. All domains get bots trying to brute force. It just means your site is more popular than the average.

Really, xmlrpc.php and wp-login.php should not be accessible at all. You can rename wp-login.php, or you can make it available to specific IP address(es), or you can ssh -L to access it via ssh.

It might be helpful to do a histogram of the IPs that try to access those files and sort it so you can see if many attempts are coming from IPs on the same networks. If so, you can report the most egregious ones to their ISPs, and/or you can outright block whole networks.

> Sure, but at every level of the hierarchy, there is a boss to break the sabotage induced deadlock, and anyone acting up too much can always be fired/demoted by that same boss.

This is why the sabotage relies on organizational politics and by the book pedantry.

You have a corporate policy that was created by lawyers and HR for the solitary purpose of ass covering. It's so that if anyone violates it, they can point to the policy as an excuse to scapegoat them or have an independent pretext to punish wrongthinkers for things they're not legally or politically allowed to punish them for.

If you insist on actually following that policy to the letter to the detriment of the organization, your boss is risking their own ass to put a stop to it, so most of them won't. And the policy itself comes from over their head, so they can't change it.

That can be done in strongly, statically typed languages with either extension functions (Kotlin, Dart) or type classes (Rust, Haskell).

People do it because there are advantages beyond the subjective reason that it reads better (I can speak several human languages and in all of them you would say number-timeUnit - so it's not just English even if it's not completely universal). It's also easier to "look up" functions based on the type of the value, for example.
maybe, but you are likely using their software or services, so in some sense, it's "first party" data, where at least historically, some expectation of privacy has not been as strong since you are in effect, having direct interaction with a business.

This comment section shows absolute delusion. x86 isn't dead, and there are more x86 chips sold every year. ISAs are not and have never been a zero sum game, and especially in the Windows space, x86-compatible is here to stay for a long time.
