> Few have a reason to run command line tools to change the screen configuration, real world usage is to use a GUI as is common on every other graphical OS.

But those few gravitate around OSes using X11. Any other graphical OS has way more users that use the computer they are given to perform the task they are given. No questions asked, no fiddling with settings. When you develop for people that use a system specifically because it allows fiddling, you must not take away functionality. If you do, prepare for criticisms.
This would be a better article if the UB in the C++ example wasn't blindingly obvious-- no C++ programmer worth a damn would ever write this.
It's common folk knowledge in my trans community that HRT often stops or in some cases partially reverse hair loss. See [1] for a case study, for example. Testosterone is correlated with hair loss and I could see how increasing T would worsen it, but blocking testosterone and increasing estrogen does have the opposite effect.

That was covered, as it's obvious.
I don't think they would want to take on future development of the software themselves. It has been suggested by one of my customers that I try and find another organization to acquire the software.

Finding more customers is the crossroads I'm at. I could take a good chunk of revenue and put it towards marketing and creating brand awareness, but if I go with the wrong vendor it could end up just being a timesuck.

My personal opinion and not a fact - "I see still see Java as the one which great mature ecosystem. For most pieces of work java still works. Enterprises do invest in them for next 10 years. It is not going away. Golang is increasing in adoption but that doesn't undermine Java in anyway today, may be in next 5-6 years"

More than language it is the basics that counts
Moka Pot is the way imo - thick, rich tasting coffee that can be used like espresso (in a latte or Americano, etc...) made by a simple and easy to clean device.
Only the provider of that service can provide that, and not even completely.

Third parties promising it would still be at the whim of the original provider. If they shut down the service, what would that third party do to fulfill their promise to you?

What we need is open, documented protocols for internet-connected hardware and escrow for pure internet services, with a guarantee to open source if the original provider shuts down their servers.

The latter will be difficult to enforce. The service provider could, instead of shutting down the service, just raise prices to something above absurd, and then shut down once all customers are gone.
Exactly. While I was using 2,4 GHz I had a lot of random issues. Probably faulty/bad WiFi devices from neighbours. Since I switched to 5 GHz they are all gone. The higher frequency is probably blocked by the walls enough, not to interfere.
"It would be insane for any project relied on by half the computing world not to."

I think this is insane and narrow minded.

I suggest there should be 'eras' of version where things do change.

If they make OS changes, notify early, prepare basic materials, create 'auto-updaters' and allow a few years for change.

But it needs to be done.

Mozilla already lost big when everyone decided to use Chromium for Electron-style apps and now they're actively running into losing big again.

I think each ecosystem had a very different experience with memcached adoption. In Java it was really limiting to do in process cache, and that limitation hit a wall while memcached usage was starting to spread. I assume Rails and maybe Python had similar problems, because all of the papers about GC techniques up to about that point were talking about Java. They got a lot of good stuff first or second.

What’s common though is that hard drives were not getting faster, but network hardware was hitting its stride. Full bandwidth (port speed X port count) routers and multi NIC were recently ubiquitous.

I had just come off a carrier grade software project when memcached finally hit my radar, and we had only spec’ed 3-5 servers for the web tier. That was still enough local cache hit rate to keep us running relatively smoothly. Or at least once we got done being honorary QA members for F5. We had lots of problems on that project with data modeling and so we actually were using too much caching vs precalculation but that’s a different story.
But I'm not buying tickets on the weeks with low jackpots, just the weeks with billion dollar ones.
I can't say anything about side projects, but I don't think there is a change in the weight of java in the enterprise world.
Windows updates on older Eee PCs got/gets brutal a few years in. Mostly due to them needing to take up more and more hard drive space.

I remember there was a significant security update a few years back that would just constantly retry on Eee PCs because it needed like 20Gb of storage it would basically never get. Made it essentially unusable.

>There's rail access to Port Edward (just a couple miles from Prince Rupert) currently, going by what you can see in Google Maps. Looks like it follows a pretty flat route, though it winds around to follow the shorelines / rivers.

There is a railroad, but that is a windy, two-track railroad for the last ~200 kilometers from Kitwanga to Port Edward, with associated capacity limits and costs. To reach Kitsault from the relatively wide, flat Nisga'a Highway corridor, you need a tunnel of about 25 kilometers, but this could fit four or more tracks and run a much straighter, faster course. You can clearly see the difference:

Why do you think that a language with better details would prevent you from opting in to whatever non-default behavior you need?

Having the "right" defaults is better for everyone. Folks who don't know or care get a good, safe default with no undefined behavior or unexpected danger, and folks who know better can opt into something that fits their needs explicitly.

Seems ideal to me.
How does the attacker get the IPv6 address from the SSID MAC? Or am I looking at the issue the wrong way?

Routers will hardly ever make connections themselves out to the internet, except maybe for things like DNS which hopefully are using major providers like Google which won’t leak the data anyway.
For the Prius Prime, page 8 of the brochure describes Toyota’s Connected Services, and page 10 says it’s a feature of the LE model:

Magnifying power relationships is the entire point of capitalism - consumers have always been at the whim of larger organizations and their wishes, with their only agency being when they decide whether to purchase a product or not. If both Product A and Product B are amazing and so prevalent that you must purchase one to be as productive as others in society, but you don't like certain terms they impose on you, then you don't have any options and must decide to either deal with it or go without using that product. Saying otherwise is effectively suggesting that companies be forced to make product in a certain way to accommodate your requests.
A source link to a very thorough article at Tom's Guide (https://www.tomsguide.com/news/home-gateway-geolocation-bh21) is provided close to the top of the page (in the short list). That guide links to the Black Hat presentation.

> For years, turning off IPv6 (IP version 6) was on the long list below, but as of August 2021, I think it belongs here on the short list too. Very very few people need it and it was recently disclosed that there is a possible security issue with it.

I think you're being a bit too accusative. Every suggestion has sources to back it up if you want to see why something is recommended.
The direction OEMs are going is to try and have their cake and eat it too. Data connection is not optional, so security is achieved through an isolated network interface boxe that talks to the outside and is assumed to be pwned/pwnable. The rest of the architecture is hardened accordingly, with a single internal interface to the rest of the vehicle on a secured bus and attestation/secured computing platform, etc.
IMO this just seems like bargaining and hoping for a just world where the law actually applies equally and constrains too-big-to-fail actors. What would actually happen is various limits/exceptions would get written in, like as long as you used "proper" software (read: microsoft) and did "proper" audits (read: tediously check moar boxes) then you could pass that liability onto someone else or have it be "nobody's fault". We'd likely end up with the same software totalitarianism even faster, because companies would be even more incentivized to deploy cookie cutter centralizing solutions to escape the additional liability.

Never mind that you can't really put a dollar value on personal information to substantiate damages or even personal time spent dealing with the fallout from someone else's negligence, which is like one of the fundamental problems with our legal system.

(There's also the elephant in the room that one of the main industries clamoring for ever more "security" still continues to insist that widely-published numbers (ssn/acct/etc) are somehow secret.)
Making things clear is not some kind of 'shiny new thing' that the kids are dancing to - it's rational.

Except... Yes it is. When your Ur business case was "do computation on someone else's computer, but ensure the operator cannot have full transparent access to their own computer's operational details", you are in the end casting the first stone. Just because I don't have an LLC, or Inc. or other legal fiction tied to my name, doesn't mean I'm not bound by the same moral imperatives you claim to be, but more importantly (I am not willing to sell everyone else's computational freedom up the river for a pole of quick bucks).

Get your collective heads out of your arses. Get back out in the sun. This nonsense is ripping every last bit of potential computing ever had and ripping it out of the hands of the lay consumer unless they dance the blessed dance of upstream.

You do not know best. You think you do. You've gotten where you are without that which you seek to create, and once created, that which you make can and will never be taken back. It creates and magnifies too much power asymmetry.

My god, have you never really stopped to think through the ethical implications? To really walk down the garden path?
At least three of the companies listed in the article offer apps that track your driving and give an insurance discount if you sign up. This could be seen as effectively the same thing; safer drivers paying less is perhaps equivalent to dangerous drivers paying more. Yes it’s voluntary so this isn’t perfect, but I’d speculate there is some presumption that in general safer drivers are the people signing up for the discount. This unfortunately comes in the form of a privacy trace-off, but if having dangerous drivers pay more is the goal, I’m not sure there’s a way to have that without some monitoring.

Another way your wish already exists partially is that people who cause accidents have higher insurance rates. This isn’t 100% effective, but some of the people who prove themselves more dangerous really do pay higher insurance already.
The title of the linked page is "NASA’s second mobile launcher is too heavy, years late, and pushing $1 billion", could this be a paste error?
Wouldn’t you also change the keyboard layout in that situation? So if you’re typing Spanish, there’s a dedicated key for ñ, but you can also push and hold c to get č, for example.

What's your argument? That we shouldn't strive to be better today, because horrible things happened in the past? I guess it is also OK for china to genocide the Uyghurs, since the Holocaust happened.
Why not offer both? Paying $10/m for as long as you like and get all new and old courses. A basic streaming subscription essentially.

But for $100 get lifetime access to only that one purchased course?

Then if the consumer wants more they have the option to spend another $100 for a different course or add the $10/m subscription for other/new content.

I personally would benefit from this immensely in course style learning. I tend to browse lots of content until I find the right info. Then deeply consume the single topic slowly as I teach it to my team. I'm usually stuck paying monthly for something I use for a month then don't use until I begin the training a few months later then dormant again until the next training x months later.

An example.. pay for a Spotify/Netflix/etc monthly subscription but have the ability to purchase a cd/series/movie/book so that if you end your subscription you still have access to the purchased items. Essentially paying a monthly rate to peruse through material then purchasing to deeper dive/repeatedly use an item. The service might even make more money this way.
Tried Bumble, an app that can find local people to meet up with in your area. You can also use Bumble for dating, but in my case I just wanted some new friends. People back in the day just went to the local pub, but those days are over.
Maybe I'm missing something, but China has an enormous east-facing coastline. Why not launch from Hainan over the Pacific? It's basically Florida but better-situated.
Seastar is absolutely different approach, based on shared nothing architecture.
It's not bad, but you cannot easy compare some async multi threaded architecture with it.

Seastar it's something like multi process architecture, where every process doesn't have synchronization, except n spsc queue per process (used to communicate between cores) and have only cooperative multitasking

So it good scales, if you don't have a lot of data to share, and have a very good work load balancer

But commonly you haven't, so go-like approach more and more easy

You are wrong.

You aren't going to find "sim card" on a car's spec sheet for the same reason you wouldn't find "lug nut". It's a component.

If a vehicle has any sort of telematics, and/or an emergency assistance feature, it's got cellular data connectivty.

That includes the Prius you mentioned, and a a boatload of other Toyota vehicles.
It's not out-of-the-box perfect, but I've had decent luck using DAWN, which targets openwrt, to get decent bandsteering. I can always ssh in (I personally havent been interested in installing/trying the "luci" web interface) & move someone between bands if I need to. My understanding is it's typically thr network nit clients that is supposed to be in charge of bandsteering & that devices hanging on to what they lock on to is the norm, typical.

Also, this setup works across & steers clients between my multiple access points!

It's amazing being able to ssh in and see a map of what signals each AP sees. DAWN periodically asks clients to help map, so even if the AP's are on different bands, you can still compare what the signal would be if the node moved.

We'ee finally living in a pretty good time for open source wifi. A pity how only a couple chips have support (select MediaTek and Qualcomm) but wow things have gotten much better.

If I have to long-press (however short "long" might be), plus remember which number corresponds to which accent on each letter, that's a lot more than what I have now - accents make sense as you type the actual accent plus the letter. The only "exceptions" to this intuitiveness are 'c for ç (not an issue on PT or BR keyboards which have a dedicated key for that) and arguably " for umlauts like ü (I think only in pt_BR and even then it's not in use since the unification of the orthographies in the 90s).
I imagine your question isn't about companies vertical consolidation, so I am not sure how to measure "supply chain complexity".
So yes. Now the bar for rudimentary, independent computer use requires an understanding of the finer points of cryptography.

In that poem I love the description of the room as "one hired box" - always evokes a coffin in my mind.
As others have noted, java is still quite present in many places...so if your question is leading to whether there are/will be jobs...then likely, yes, there will likely continue to be many jobs in jave for some time to come (mostly because enterprises - the biggest users if java - tend not to replace their java infrastructure unless they really, really have to). However, if your question is more towards whether java is "trendy", then no its not, mostly because as new projects are considered, newer languages are considered too. (Maybe not too new, but still at least newer than java, like Go, etc.) On the other hand, if you want to know if java is as performant as it used to be (as compared to other langs), then i think that merits diving into published performance benchmarks (java vs go vs erlang vs rust, etc.). In my experience, smart teams consider the following thought when undertaking new projects: "Ok, sure language/framework X is faster, but language/framework Y is close enough to performance needs but is way easier to adopt by development staff, easier to be productive in, is easier to hire folks for, and easier to support infrastructure for...so we'll just go with language/framework Y...".

Ah. There's also "durable objects", which route requests to the kv POP where it was created, so no propogating, but they can only hold 32kb.
Whether they're gone or not, I definitely want _more_ of these. I've had great success with shared Tampermonkey scripts at work, augmenting off-the-shelf tools my team uses with conveniences specific to our team. For example, automatically extracting relevant bits within noisy logs when browsing CI results, or providing buttons that kick off narrow re-runs or link to relevant source files. CSS injections are great too, a very lightweight way to improve the accessibility and usability of tools.
Found this gem while searching for a lightweight HTML renderer for screenshotting really basic HTML pages without requiring a whole browser engine. Do note that this isn't at the render stage yet and doesn't seem to be very actively developed now but it's a cool idea. The basic execution seems to be done really well.

I wonder if this can be taken and further extended to build something akin to lite-html.
In case you didn't know, Git is effectively blockchain. It's just that 'breaking' the chain/rewriting history is as simple as `git push --force` and other clients can accept the rewritten history with `git reset origin/<branch> --hard`. Blockchain is (more) useful when artificial scarcity isn't involved.
The people railing are Canadian, and they are doing so because they know they have been lied to by the press. The 'problem' are those who continue to misrepresent the situation and fail to understand for some reason (especially after been given the facts) that this is going on.

I think that’s been normal in malloc for some time. I maintain that we should all thank Java, and the hype train around it, for forcing operating systems to implement more robust threading support. Everyone wanted to be able to say they did Java well, and nearly every OS had capital ‘I’ Issues, including Solaris. Boy I bet those closed room arguments were epic.

Where GCed languages pulled ahead for a while, particularly Java, was that they had mature concurrent memory allocation before most OSes did, so many people found on early two and four core hardware that malloc started to show up as a bottleneck.
