Yeah, but any application with that privilege can log all keystrokes and upload it to a third party. Obviously this privilege needs to be far more fine grained and have limitations…

> the real continuing inexcusable outrage is that Windows, even today, grants all applications full access to read the titles of all windows with no way to disable it. IIUC, X11 ha…

I've been interested in this for years. Are there other similar projects that you're familiar with? Perhaps targeting other languages? What are the major problems with this approac…

That's very optimistic :)

Isn't it trivial for online poker providers to cheat, i.e. manipulate the cards you receive, and have a fake bot player at the table that can be made to win, etc. ?

I'm not convinced that it would make a difference, in terms of protecting against genocide or state-sanctioned discrimination, because such metrics can be derived from a thousand o…

Also, IIUC, China is communist but has a "socialist market economy", so the two are not mutually exclusive.

I tried and gave up on getting Keycloak to use less memory. 500-1500 MB for a server with less than 10 concurrent users is ridiculous. And that's even using an external database.

The problem with the JVM, compared to Go, is the GC; it requires a lot of reserved memory. Go programs use far less. And the SDK is bulky, which can be a problem for container imag…

I love Java in the same way. But that free-thinking definition of Java clashes with the mainstream beliefs in the Java ecosystem, and you'll get a lot opposition at workplaces. So …

I don't remember the original argument anymore. Something about communism being justification for US warmongering. Personally I think 19th century communism was context-specific to…

Try using Google Maps in Satellite View. You'd be hard pressed to find land that isn't used agriculturally. IIUC, the land that is unutilized or has forest, is either protected, to…

"Communism" is the age-old American scarecrow that is used to justify the unjust.

That is fair; I think the reality is nuanced and that different opinions existed at the same time and were warring internally in the Soviet Union. In particular, IIUC, Trotsky thou…

And yet, every viable plot of land is used for farming. Similarly, I would argue that you should not underestimate the harmful and wide-reaching effects of industry.

I suspect that the communist project has lived under constant fear of the US, that the economy ultimately was bankrupted from having to defend itself against the US war machine. Th…

> America Obviously America refers to the continent, so I'll use the shorthand country name "the US" instead. > is the best That may be true, but I do wonder if it was a lucky acci…

A simpler explanation is that Americans have succumbed to consumerism to such an extent that the absence of it feels enlightened. Of course the reality is just that the US has beco…

I agree about data diodes, but how do you handle data egress? One solution is to have strict data checks on egress, but leaks are still possible. Data diodes also still suffer from…

The state of the art is always advancing, which greatly increases the burden of starting from first principles. I somewhat feel that there was a generation that had it easier, beca…

Thanks for the clarification!

I feel like comments lately have become full of false statements. VSCode is MIT licensed. But the extensions aren't, which locks you into the Microsoft distribution of VSCode. And …

Indeed! "No one saw it coming" is the most ridiculous thing I've been hearing for the last couple of months regarding global politics. They've literally been predicting and warning…
