Those of us around for the days when off-shoring was some kind of magic pill will remember how it wasn’t. Outsourcing to some guy in Delhi, Ohio, doesn’t seem so different; apart from time zone, maybe.
Ai isn’t the cause for this but it certainly was the enabler.
Supply chain attacks are what scare me.
As a former OS security pro, this is the right answer. Not because of the exploit itself, but because young (unmentored) coders readily trust some really bad patterns of pulling in random junk from the web and running it. THIS is how the LPE becomes essentially an RCE-level problem.
I’m totally okay with them receiving money from bad companies. It’s like vandals ordered to pick up highway trash - yo momma - as punishment.
Receiving Merge Requests from sloppers, though? That’s not cool.
Prefer a cache since the reddit content could be removed or blocked on a whim?
Guys brought a large pizza each on a newark-austin flight in 2001. The rest of us on the packed flight were Sooo jealous.
Whoa whoa. If you saw how bad both Canadian international carriers were, you’d understand Delta striving for shitty service is actually cultural appropriation. That’s apparently our thing.
I shudder to imagine what they’d think of a car with a clutch and a left-toe switch for the high-beams.
You’ve got suppy-chain attacks and boutique complexity in three easy steps. Squeeze it into a flatpak or crutch on containers to frustrate validation and it’s the perfect footgun from a security standpoint.
…but only to mod the repo config to install emacs-nox. After that having seen the resource usage is the same as vi just use what’s most versatile.
Heh. Container mafia going “hush, don’t worry about iso27002, just one more pull, bro.”
Do the sysctl fix and you’re fine to wait for a patch.
Disable the sandbox bit and it’s bobbitted, right ?
The Compress attribute has been in even ext3 since day 1. I’ve never tried it, though.
Microsoft has already contributed a shitton to the Linux kernel. So long as they don’t evict, only augment, it’s a good thing.
Extend comes after Embrace; sure. Historically, guess what comes next.
There’s a trend, here.
A write-up on this would be very valuable: infra, OS, installation, current config, test queries, etc.
a lot of people are terrible writers, and as such, the idea that another user can actually write is offensive to them.
I worry you’re right, here; but only in brief episodes. I mostly want to assume otherwise.
I LOVE great writing: proper punctuation, good delineation, awareness of mass nouns, etc. I love when I see great writing and wish I could be as good.
I feel for people who don’t.
It could be regional or arbitrary. I say ‘coding’ a lot because it’s shorter. I could say one is about the keyboard work and one is about the architecture and design, but it’s really the fact that one’s shorter.
But in my environment, they’re interchangeable as much as anything can be. And I’ve grown up using both; even in college in the '90s, coding C and m68k.
YMMV?
Snipe-it failed iso27002 when I last checked.
I like how you said “minimal”, like it’s a floor and not a flavour.
No-no, it’s perfect like that. Don’t dare change it.
