RHEL systems run SELinux in enforcing mode by default. Most applications run in a domain called "unconfined_t", which is about as secure as it sounds. [0]

Ubuntu runs AppArmor in its version of enforcing mode. I've only ever run into issues with it once though, so I presume it is a similarly lax policy.

[0] The policy is called "targeted", to reflect the fact that you are supposed to write targeted policy modules for specific applications you are concerned about.
The baseband modem has been a huge security concern because it is largely separate from and not monitorable by the phone OS.

The idea behind the phrase is that cops are either bastards or they sit by and let other cops be bastards and are themselves bastards. Any cop who doesn't sit by and let other cops abuse citizens isn't a cop for very long.
"carp" should also be included in discoveries alongside pfsync. carp functions like cisco/juniper/etc VRRP to enable real-time failover. With pfsync being a stateful firewall a lot of care needs to happen with failovers. carp + pfsync allow you to run multiple hot pfsync firewalls that have synchronized state and have near-instant failover without state-related hiccups.

We use pf+pfsync+carp extensively over in FreeBSD.org as well. It's good stuff!
France does, though.

The police violence is not as normalized - see riots because they executed a minority race teenager for no reason, something that would be seen as pretty normal in US - but the culture is definitely as messed up.
Evernote was briefly interesting, but they managed non-Windows clients so poorly and kept playing feature-creep calvinball so badly that I gave up on them YEARS AND YEARS AGO.

When you talk about using 'advertising power' to put paperclip factories on the moon, you've jumped into the realm of very silly fantasy.

Law enforcement agencies have pretty sophisticated means of bypassing VPNs that they would use against an AI that was actually dangerous. If it was just sending out phishing emails and running scams, it would be one more thing to add to the pile.
Yes you're right. This doesn't mean I ignore vulnerabilities and play PacMan. Instead, I harden my systems first, observe and patch my systems second, and play PacMan then.

Jokes aside, we never take vulnerabilities lightly. However, we stick to our best practices and yet stay diligent.

> cars

For the very strange who accept driving the new "smartphones with wheels".

Including, note, the cars with the embedded telephone as mandated by the european union past 2018 - the e-call systems. Some articles went "there could be privacy issues, but it is a remote eventuality": now you see that someone could push as normal an eavesdropper in your car.
It’s not partisan to dislike police, it’s just misappropriating anger with the system onto a single component of the system. It’s incredibly myopic and counter productive to defund police in places where they depend on police for their safety. Missing the forest for the trees.
Yes, it sounds reasonable. It also sounds reasonable to allow police to enter anyone's home at any time - consider all the crime they might prevent if only they didn't have to wait for a warrant! It sounds reasonable to let the police shoot a fleeing suspect, because why are they running if they aren't guilty? It sounds reasonable to let the police look through any computer - how much CP is missed because they have to wait for a warrant?

Lots of things sound reasonable which are not. One must consider the downside, particularly the downside of abuse of power.

It's sad, but the quality of baseband software is bad enough that these bugs may as well be explicit backdoors.
For the camera your best bet is to just put a physical cover. There are a lot of sliding adhesive ones you can buy online that are convenient. I stick them on laptops as well, especially work-issued laptops.

For the microphone ... ideally build and install LineageOS yourself on an Android device. Don't trust iOS or Google's official Android builds, they have closed source software that may have France-specific backdoors.
Correct, this technology is too powerful to be controlled by a private company. It needs to exist solely as a public good. If we're talking about AI regulation, I think the most sensible move would be requiring that all models need to be open source. Capitalist's lack of ability to profit isn't a public concern.

Some would also argue that it was trained on public data and should be public for that reason as well.
> What followed the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars was one of the most peaceful 99 years on the European continent since Pax Romana.

This was the period when the Austro-Hungarian empire was dissolved, the Ottoman possessions in Europe were lost, the Prussian empire formed, the Italian nation formed, and many European monarchies fell during the liberal revolutions. Amongst the conflicts between the leading European powers, there was the Franco-Prussian War, the Boer War, the Anglo-Russian war in the Crimea. And then, just after your carefully-chosen 99 years, the Great War, and Russian Revolution. Hardly peaceful.

Databases are really just data structures and algorithms along with some notion of durability.

Client/Server databases are just remote data structures. (E.g. Redis is short for "Remote Dictionary Server")

Sometimes you want your data structures and algorithms to run locally. Could be performance, privacy, cost, or any number of reasons.

Local, in-memory data structures hit a few bottlenecks. First, they may not fit in memory. A mechanism for keeping the dataset in larger storage (e.g. disk) and paging in the necessary bits as needed extends the range of datasets one can comfortably work with locally by quite a bit. That's standard SQLite.

A second potential bottleneck to local data structures is distribution. We carry computers in our pockets, on our watches, in our cars. Delivering large datasets to each of those locations may be impractical. Cloud based VFS allows the benefits of local data structures on the subset they need without requiring them to fetch the entire dataset. That can be a huge win if there's a specific subset they need.

It always depends on the use case, but when the case fits there are a lot of big wins here.

Modern civilisation wasn't around some tens-hundreds thousands/millions of years ago. It simply doesn't matter, it's not relevant, it won't change the argument: we are heating the Earth faster than in any other time period we are aware of, it's real, it's happening right now, and it doesn't matter that the Earth might cool or warm naturally over a span of dozens/hundreds thousands of years or more, we haven't been through it, we don't know, empirically, what will happen to us and other species, and we aren't prepared for it either.

And I never understand this argument, so what it's happened before? Our collective knowledge and intelligence has a pretty good consensus that we will experience consequences ranging from harsh to apocalyptic, no scenario predicts a good outcome, why be pedantic about "akshually, the Earth has been warmer before"? It does not add anything important to the discussion, it's just trivia.

> but it does mean that the population at large does not necessarily support this specific law

If the population does not support the law, the government could be potentially replaced.

But the most probable conclusion is that the population at large would not care.
It's worth noting that Godot 4 is using actual .NET instead of Mono, so you get all the tooling support that implies, including seamless debugging with Visual Studio, etc. Unity has been promising that transition for years, but I'm pretty sure they're still using some customized version of Mono.

So you can write a game with .NET 7 and everything is great. There's a little bit of extra overhead when making calls into the Godot engine, so you still may want to use bits of C++ for performance where it matters, but otherwise there are only a few rough edges left.
I suggest "ecks-or". This developed in university CS labs, as a result of exchanges like "OK are we going to finish the shell project tonight or shall I just slam my head into the desk until I fall unconscious?" "Yes"
Are you suggesting widespread conspiracy between governments and tech companies?

I'm strongly in favor of physical switches and I detest where technology is nowadays, but it seems pretty likely to me that they removed the physical switches because:

1. It simplifies (cheapens) production costs

2. It eliminates points of failure

3. It reduces user error opportunities

4. It makes it easier to waterproof devices

5. It makes it easier to make devices smaller

And surely others that don't require a major conspiracy.
I'm fine with JSX being stricter. "HTML soup" is extremely hard and slow to parse, compared to JSX.

The community gave up shipping strict XHTML to the browser because the breakage could happen at runtime, whereas JSX disappears (and shows errors) at build time, so you can't ship broken JSX.
My strongly held belief is still that Messenger apps and SMS are still the dominant social media apps and are the only ones worth investing in the success of. At the end of the day, no one can or wants to manage a gigantic social media presence outside of commercial applications. Most people are really only invested in social media so they can make better connections off of social media.
Self-closing tags are an inconsequential issue.

Of actual practical consequence are optional html5 tags [0]. They allow you to write html by hand as easily as if you wrote markdown. Some graybeards even say that optional html5 tags make markdown entirely unnecessary.

Thus, lists don't need closing item tags:

This is correct html:
<ul>
<li> first
<li> second
<li> third
</ul>

Tables become uncluttered:

Raw html tables
<table>
<tr>
<td> are
<td> easier
<td> than
<tr>
<td> any
<td> markdown
<td> flavor
</table>

And you can even write the entire document in that style:

<!doctype html>
<title>Hello</title>
<p>This is a complete conforming html document.

No need for stupid html, header, body elements. They are optional!

Zero-touch OTA exploiting a cellular baseband processor in a phone is 100% possible if you control the network (which governments absolutely do). From there, it's just a matter of pivoting over to the application processor in order to enable the camera and mic. This path will almost certainly be less hardened than a userland to kernel privesc since the application-to-baseband interface will already be considered a trusted channel by the OS.
Who has time to listen to all these podcasts?
it most likely really will only be a small number of cases

BUT that doesn't matter

it being abused against just one or two times in very important contexts (political, human right activists, etc.) can already be a major negative impact

I've been saying for a long time that we'll eventually have to geoengineer our way out of climate change. Sadly, I still think that's the case.
I think that HTML5 parsing rules were a mistake. It makes it so unnecessarily complicated to parse and emit HTML. Instead of having a generic emitter that can format any set of tags you need to understand all of the special tags and deal with it. If it was just allowing some invalid constructs it wouldn't be so bad (but you would need to deal it with reading because people will generate whatever browsers accept) but you even need to be aware of these special rules when emitting. There are tags where adding in self-closing slashes breaks the markup, they need to have a separate start and end tag even if there is no content. So every emitter needs to check this list of hardcoded rules.

That's an exaggeration. The difference in military spending between the US and the EU is less than 2% of GDP. If all military spending was a complete waste of money, with no economic or social benefits at all, that would correspond to about 4 working days/year. But because military spending contributes to the economy in some ways, the actual cost to the American worker is probably closer to 2 days/year.
Nope, that’s just a meme.

I'll dig into the history of leisure in the medieval period.

In the mean time, though... consider. If you earned the same amount as you do now, but only worked 150 days a year (and even then, only maybe 4-6 hours per day), what would you do with your free time?
I understand your concern, personally syncthing does a perfect job for me. I'm never editing from multiple devices at the same time, and by the time I switch to another device the content is synced. If not, I give it a little time and it makes me pause and use computers a little bit less, so it's not that much of a downside.
You answered the wrong question. I said to ask a historian regarding the unfounded assertion that "Religion has less to do with the underlying morality of the scripture and more to do with what religious leaders of the time say it is, and their interpretation can be...flexible."

Prove that. You can name a few examples where there was a widespread spirit in the air (Crusades, Spanish Inquisition [even though the death count was only about 14 executions per year]), but you can't show an example where Christians ever believed premarital sex was OK, or Muslims ever believing you could eat pork one morning. You can show plenty of flexibility of Protestantism though, but that's unique to that religion which rejects centralized authority or the importance of traditional views for scriptural interpretation.

Create a resume for each type of job you are pursuing. When I was last looking, I had a devops, dev, and devrel resume. It was tedious to do this, but you can definitely tilt your accomplishments toward a given role.

I am confused. Are they mandating a backdoor, or is there already a backdoor, or are they allowing the police to exploit zero days? If it is the latter, it is sad that the authorities assume weak security as a given.
I am tired of the “end of the word is nigh” headlines about climate change. I stopped going to church regularly in my late teens because I got tired of the “Armageddon could happen anytime” messaging in protestant Christianity. Feels the same to me with climate change alarmists.

Is the earth warming? Yes. Is it net bad for people? I’m not convinced.

I’m not convinced that oceans rising an inch in the next century is going to doom humanity. More people die of cold every year than of heat. We have dikes. When something becomes a visible problem we usually either address it or find a workaround.

Fairly certain that it doesn’t. As long as the switch is not physical, a backdoor / forcing vendor compliance is possible
I dunno. There's a lot of stuff I would put on EM that they have decided not to allow, but I think Rob Zombie and Rammstein very clearly fall into the 'not metal' camp. I like both, but neither of them sound anything like metal to me, or to anyone I know that listens to metal in significant quantities.

It's not like industrial is an instant deny, either - Fear Factory, Blut Aus Nord, Strapping Young Lad, etc etc etc are included.

As for King Gizz, their rules are quite clear that one predominantly metal album is enough for inclusion.

This is called software philistinism.

There are many blog posts like this one that deny (often deride) the value of software craftmanship, including the skillset of planning.

They almost always have this same conclusiveness to them as well ("she was right"), with no tangible backing other than personal anecdata ("everyone sucked who I worked with, so everyone must suck").

If you zoom out, the reality is that people in the software industry are spoiled AF. A majority of practitioners get paid a ridiculous amount and get away with murder.

It is true that current market dynamics give people in this industry pretty much zero incentive to get good at the craft. So people don't and then to rhetorically justify their philistinism, they write blog posts like this.

It is also true that many businesses get away with writing absolutely shitty software and stay in business because of these dynamics. But that doesn't make it "ok" and doesn't say anything about the enormous amount lost to such apathy.
