Those are very different scenarios because your "protection" is the threat of consequences. You can freely buy and use knives, you can drive your own car, but you can only use your…

Scammers will manage to manipulate people into giving away all of their savings just fine no matter what restrictions are put in place. The excuse is just another "think of the chi…

I wouldn't say it applies to all categories. I highly doubt they'll ever do it to games no matter how many clones of clones get published

Falsifying votes is different from falsifying election results. All of the misinformation being thrown around exists to cast doubt on the voting system to not trust the results . S…

It likely will since it includes the game assets in the repo. Typically the way to avoid being taken down is you require people to extract them from a ROM as a prerequisite.

comma.ai requires supervision just like Tesla's FSD.

I mean, sure, but RAII (in C++, at least) is implemented the same way as this article: with a try...finally block! RAII doesn't really fit into every language because they don't al…

It's also necessary here because TypeScript has exceptions and you'd expect your `defer`s to execute even when an exception is thrown.

Electron also compresses well but people complain about unpacked size, too. You're likely not going to see an embedded browser actually smaller unless you can disable features at c…

The documentation states: > Compliant with RISC-V Sv32 virtual memory scheme https://documentation.espressif.com/esp32-s31_datasheet_en.p...

Sv32 is what every 32-bit RISC-V CPU with an MMU uses. It is a full MMU. You can run Linux on it.

Do you have any examples? Competitive shooters are one of the worst cases because your server-side checks need to allow tolerances to make up for latency, and cannot be so thorough…

No, it's not specifically npm. All package managers enable remote code execution by design - you tell it to download code and then you run that code, likely without sandboxing, by …

Doesn't look like it but if Servo wants to be a production-ready browser they will likely need to do the same. Better security and reliability having processes handling different r…

You mean target Servo's limited compatibility and it should work fine in browsers? Maybe? But there's potential to accumulate workarounds that fix things in Servo but break other b…

Supply chain attacks are not a JavaScript or npm exclusive risk. If you pull in any dependencies you have a supply chain risk.

If you're going by binary size then Servo is already as big as other browsers. 106 MB excluding dependencies, or 274 MB including dependencies.
