Those are all really old builds. Strongly recommend one of the following alternatives:

- On Mac or Linux, building version 3.6 from the SourceForge repo (r1603 is a good revision): https://sourceforge.net/projects/previous/

I use it to this day to run the "Best Books" accounting software (cut down MYOB) I bought in 1991 for the single-digit number of invoices I issue in a year. That's M68k software. Accounting doesn't change. The only thing I've had to do is change the GST rate from 12.5% to 15% in 2010.

I use print to PostScript for invoices and reports then copy them to the host machine (which these days can be anything) and PDF or print them.

In theory Basilisk II would do the job, but SheepShaver runs PowerPC software too, and a modern CPU emulating PowerPC emulating 68k is just fine.

I should try "II in a Mac" (from 1985) inside that.
Nobody cares but the culture war hounds.
Oh interesting, I hadn't realized that option existed.
Here's the link to the relevant discussion so people can decide for themselves if there actually is a significant difference and come to their own conclusions about why that difference might exist:

Also, in general I find that people who weigh in with this kind of comment trying to draw parallels and implying that there was some kind of consensus in favor of X which is inconsistent with the opposition to Y both misremember the earlier conversation and forget that these conversations feature totally different people. Judging an extremely heterogenous community for the consistency of its political views is an exercise in futility.
Open source and hackable makes this a dream watch replacement for my old watch. Hopefully these new watches see great success, so much so that they motivates competition that is willing to sale in stores so that I can buy one.
Most political lobbying pertains to matters that are completely out of the radar of news media. In fact if the topic you're lobbying on is in the news you are probably failing.

They tend to be intensely practical and specific, rather than hot morally heated topics. Like building infrastructure, securing a government contract, or amending/removing a new regulation from your sector of business (e.g. making sure a new law on tobacco exempts cigar manufacturers).
> You are very correct that this is not gonna last forever though, because wages are rising in China, too, which will probably lead to a bunch of manufacturing moving to another low-wage country (maybe India, or even Africa in the future).

Already happening. Was in China recently - the driver of the rideshare I took said he was driving now because his electronics company outsourced manufacturing to Indonesia.
Ever feel like you're talking to some gaslighting AI ? The Grandparent comment seems like it is one of those moments.
Why? I have a hard time believing the engineer at Google see Wiz as innovative. The front page of Wiz.io reads like a bunch of sales bullshit. I built a security posture dashboard for a competitor and I would not say it's worth anywhere near 1b. Is Google such shit now that runtime scanning in a k8 cluster is worth billions?
> I think one can reasonably ask who exactly is benefiting?

My guess would be the authors, photographers, etc. Many of who are not the rich but middle class. I would think if they did not benefit, none of this would even be an issue as they could release their work and waive the copyright-isn't that what the Creative Commons license is for? If copyright were forced on the author and they had no way to share their work freely, if they choose to do so, then that would be a problem, imo.
Two opposing things are both true at the same time.

If you as an individual avoid being at all different, then you are in the most company and will likely have the most success in the short term.

But it's also true that if we all do that then that leads to monoculture and monoculture is fragile and bad.

It's only because of people building code in different contexts (different platforms, compilers, options, libraries, etc...) that code ever becomes at all robust.

A bug that you mostly don't trigger because your platform or build flags just happens to walk just a hair left of the hole in the ground, was still a bug and the code is still better for discovering and fixing it.

We as individuals all benefit from code being generally robust instead of generally fragile.
Engineering is a compromise. The article shows most gains come from specialising the memory allocater. The thing to remember is that some projects are multithreaded, and allocate in one thread, use data in another and maybe deallocate in a 3rd. The allocator needs to handle this. So a speedup for one project may be a crash in another.

Also, what about reallocation strategy? Some programs preallocate and never touch malloc again, others constantly release and acquire. How well do they handle fragmentation? What is the uptime (10 seconds or 10 years)? Sometimes the choice of allocators is the difference between long term stability vs short term speed.

I experimented with different allocators devoloping a video editor testing 4K videos that caches frames. 32Mb per frame, at 60fps, thats almost 2Gb per second per track. You quickly hit allocator limitations, and realise that at least vanilla glibc allocator offers the best long term stability. But for short running benchmarks its the slowest.

As already pointed out, engineering is a compromise.
And how much would it cost me to run the app view?
thats just hand waving. Some companies have land, some dont. most valuable land is owned by homeowners.
On the other hand, if your optimization helps consistently across platforms, you could convince upstream developers to implement it directly. (Not necessarily across all platforms – a sizable performance gain on just a single arch might still be enough to tweak configuration for that particular build).
There’s a few things wrong here. Being a community of intellectuals doesn’t equal a community of rationalists. And even rationalists may use different criteria than you in matters of international security, arriving at conclusions you may see as inconsistent and biased.

Google simply does not have a culture of giving a shit about people's experiences with their product. If you are having a problem you better either have that problem so frequently and severely that it shows up on whatever monitoring system they're using to evaluate release health, or you better get comfortable with it for the long haul.

I'm wondering this myself. I'm trying to steer away from web, I can't stand it anymore, but I digress. I hoping to build a portfolio of C/C++ games and UIs and get anything in the game industry or alternatively in some embedded system UI space. From there hopefully I never have to touch web apps again.

Didn't think about freelancing but seems it would be hard given that C/C++ is used in domains where the code is sensitive and cannot just be given to anyone that is not trusted, but if anyone has more ideas on how to pivot towards C/C++, I think these jobs will still remain after AI takes the low hanging fruit that is web apps.

I love playing with SheepShaver (and BasiliskII and MinivMac).

But I have a repo with the shareware games and two more repos of games that were never completed (and probably a third one coming when I get time to put it together). They're easy enough to find if you're interested with the above link as a starting point.
it's so unamerican it is part of the constitution that defines america and deliberately placed there by the founding fathers. i'm sure they were concerned that the king would try to undermine the new country the first chance he got by placing someone loyal to the crown to undo all of the work that led to the constitution.

it's not a good better best situation like you seem to think. at this point, i really think the unwilling to see how attempting to limit the new nation from being led by a foreign operative would be so important to the survival of the new nation. only, new is now 200+ years old (yet still a babe in the woods to other national histories) so the "threat" seems lessened by people like you.

i also started the entire thread by stating we have a foreign operative in place now, so if you can't read between those lines in who i didn't vote for then you're really just being deliberately obtuse about the situation is the only logical explanation i can see.
lol, I guess so haha
Mimalloc is a general purpose allocator like JEMalloc / TCMalloc. Glibc is known to have a pretty bad allocator that modern allocators like MIMalloc & the latest TCMalloc (not the one available by default in Ubuntu) run laps around. While of course speedup may be variable, generally the benchmarks show an across the board speedup (whether that matters for any given application is something entirely different). As for crashes, these are all general purpose multi-thread allocators and behave no differently from glibc (modulo bugs that can exist equally in glibc).
I'd like to bring attention to the ALHP repos[1].

These are the Arch packages built for x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4, which are basically names for different sets of x86-64 extensions. Selecting the highest level supported by your processor should get you most of the way to -march=native, without the hassle of compiling it yourself.

It also enables -O3 and LTO for all packages.

My Kindle Paperwhite 5th gen is rooted and runs KOReader.

It's not a great solution - you still have very little freedom, Amazon frequently patches root methods - and you might be waiting months for someone to find a working root method, and if you accidentally update - bye bye, root/KOReader.

But it is a solution.
I predict this will be flagged...
In terms of centralization, if you are in the tech sphere, you should have learned by now from the crypto fiasco that decentralization leads to abuse by people with money to game the system.

Wiz is widely considered one of the strongest CNAPP/CSPM products on the market. I haven’t personally tested every single competitor’s solution, but I’ve found Wiz to outperform pan, crowdstrike, and prisma.

To answer your question. Google doesn't acquire Wis because Google can’t build a comparable product themselves. The real driver is that Wiz has already achieved market penetration and trust. Replicating that from scratch would be a massive undertaking, requiring not just a sophisticated product but also the brand credibility, customer relationships, and reputation for reliability. establishing that level of traction and trust is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. I highly doubt Google would try to build a direct competitor from the ground up when acquiring Wiz allows them to leverage its existing success right away.

It's cool, but how do you know it won't kill you, esp. given that it's human nature to stop paying attention since it seems to do all the work itself (even if eyes are kept on the road), and that it seems developed by a team with limited resources, using cameras only and apparently with pervasive "end-to-end" use of neural networks?

Overstaying its welcome was intentional to avoid burning peripheral developers who had been promised 10 years of compatibility after Lightning replaced the 30-pin dock connector, which was used from 2003-2012.

As noted in other comments, Apple was part of the USB working group, contributed to USB-C, and introduced USB-C/Thunderbolt-only laptops in 2016. There was backlash against this so they have since backtracked and reintroduced MagSafe and HDMI ports. Personally I would have preferred more USB-C/Thunderbolt ports.

Companies have problems securing their workloads. Not just storing secrets. Off the top of my head, I've personally been able to centralize the following with a single tool (instead of gluing together a dozen different providers)

- scan cloud configurations for policy violations
- detect and remediate infrastructure misconfigurations
- real-time visibility into cloud resource inventories
- early detection of issues
- container vuln. scanning
- runtime anomalous behavior
- alerts and correlate security events
- compliance mappings
- id risky permissions in IAM policies
- track changes and configuration drift over time
- implement zero-trust policies across microservices
- eforce network seg in containerized environments
- run security checks during build and deploy stages
- vulnerability assessments on running VMs and containers
- policy-as-code for consistent security standards

It was 15 minutes’ worth of work.

As noted, wireless charging is slower. So you definitely have to be a human with sleep time to succeed with this one, or dock it.

You also are more implicitly behind a s/w lock because all "mounts" of some file system are now mediated through a network stack and an OS stack and a permissions model with mostly unknown 3rd parties to access media. Sure, its not like you didn't have local software stack issues mounting an insert into the USB port but its less actors in the path, and there's always the potential its a generic USB and you can attach HID, video, you-name-it.

This is very much "permissioned" in and out of device, compared to plugging things in. The lockdown and snoop and logging is complete now.
ASLR is not purely security through obscurity because it is based on a solid security principle: increasing the difficulty of an attack by introducing randomness. It doesn't solely rely on the secrecy of the implementation but rather the unpredictability of memory addresses.

Think of it this way - if I guess the ASLR address once, a restart of the process renders that knowledge irrelevant implicitly. If I get your IPv6 address once, you’re going to have to redo your network topology to rotate your secret IP. That’s the distinction from ASLR.
And it's gone and I didn't save a copy of the swift script locally. :-(

ATProto is usable without Bluesky’s AppView. You just need to create another centralized indexing server of your own and have it index all PDSs. This is certainly less decentralized than other systems since there’s a barrier to entry (getting the compute power to index all PDSs), but that’s the tradeoff you make by not having server-specific namespaces like Mastodon does. They seem to also make their AppView implementation open-source, which seems to show their goodwill.

You do still get the benefits of being able to interoperate between different apps that may not know each other exist without the disadvantages of having server-specific namespaces, which is of course the point.

“A valid date” would be determined by said server (BlueSky’s or yours). You could choose to write a server that enforces consistent dates or one that does not, and the definition of a valid date would be different per AppView.

I acknowledge the other way of doing it which ActivityPub uses has some benefits as well.

CNAPPs and CSPMs are extremely common tools in cybersecurity. This is my concern. If you're in cyber and don't have knowledge of these things you're either in something insanely niche, in research of some sort, or lack critical knowledge that you should have. There's a big responsibility as a security practitioner to stay up to date on new tools and techniques. CNAPP and CSPM is not some new thing that was invented last year. It's been around for a decade.
