In my case, the crashes were from last year to the start of this one. Some were related to AMDGPU, others to my WiFi card driver, so they're pretty recent. I don't quite remember t…

But, on the other hand, without IP, DRMs lose a lot of their power. Once the DRM is cracked, the protected data can be freely shared once more. The only usefulness for DRM in most …

I did, in Linux. It was pretty common too. It got fix. But, every now and then, I still get an occasional panic. I also recall having my shell crashing (zsh or bash, I don't rememb…

+1 for the Blub Paradox. First time I'm hearing it.

You seem to be proficient at monologuing towards walls. Perhaps that's why you keep assuming people will just take your word.

How about you elaborate instead of vague posting?

This post is basically a massive projection. When I guess, I make my guesses explicit. You, however, consistently make guesses and pretend they are true. You misinterpret facts so …

The problem is that you think Rust programmers despise C or C++. We don't. We just think there are better alternatives for modern development. In fact, a lot of Rust programmers we…

People who believe in total unsuitability would be acting silly indeed. But most would agree that writing code on languages that provide better and safer tooling is a positive. Sur…

Because Servo is unfinished, and companies have different priorities. For instance, Microsoft could've have been strict and formally checked code for Windows since the inception of…

Quite frankly, this post is massive set of unsubstantiated claims. For starters, no one said the only problem with Chromium is C++. But it certainly contributes with some of the pr…

Wrong. For starters, a good typing system absolutely helps catching logic errors at compile time.

Had some headaches with nuget, and C# type system isn't as advanced as Rust or TypeScript, even less so in comparison to Haskel (still solid notheless), but it really is a solid ch…

Why should they apologize? All they did was point out that you just provided a counter example, not statistics (thus "we don't know how prevalently your scenario is" yet), and shar…

I'm not informed of the Postgres's internals, but, maybe, that can be solved by grouping threads into different processes depending on which set of extensions they request.

Brazil and Argentina also tortured and killed some people, except they got nothing in return.

I would argue that only the latter is truly a job. The other points are things we have tied to jobs (like hobbies), but, perhaps, we should strive to decouple from them so that we …

You know climate change isn't just places getting hotter, right?

Bear in mind that this article is talking, specifically, about daily radiation dosages, not nuclear accidents. Still, look no further than Fukushima meltdown and the potential lose…

But there is such a thing as too much safety. Imagine if we banned airplanes because there's a crash in a decade. Ultimately, safety is not absolute and is about tradeoffs. The que…
