Nothing else, I think what the're more concerned with is how open an architecture is. I think with RISC-V if you wanted to design your own chips and stuff you can just do it, where…

You could argue well, if you have to open the file to read it anyway may as well look for magic numbers. That doesn't work well with text documents which won't have any kind of mag…

Honestly requiring DMARC was overall a good thing. I was an email admin for a university. In the past - each college ran their own email. Before DKIM, before SPF, you'd just have b…

Just a few years ago, Atlassian required you to add an unnecessary include: record to your SPF record, and wouldn't use your domain for emails until they scanned your SPF record fo…

Lookalike domains are a problem but in my opinion the bigger problem is when attackers figure out how to hijack a real domain. For example, making a company named "there's a proble…

That was how I felt. "The Future of Email", from Fastmail - I immediately assumed some big announcement. It's basically "you need to pass DMARC now" which has been true for 2 years…

> They're widely understood I'll tell you right now, I've had multiple cases where I've had to quote parts of the RFCs to large companies because they were handling email authentic…

Restricted access, yes but I'd argue intelligence, tech-savvy, and common sense aren't really the same thing. There's two big issues I saw on a large University network (talking so…

Regarding SFUs - with something like HLS, I can really easily scale up using something like a caching CDN (not entirely sure if that's the right term). But the idea goes: I can dis…

There's a few cases where WebRTC falls apart that I think MoQ could help with. It doesn't work so well for having a low-latency broadcast. Your choices right now are - use WebRTC a…

Universities are so tricky. If you put up too many roadblocks you wind up with official shit on completely external resources. Which makes it hard to figure out what's legitimate a…

The answer is yes, to all of it. Email providers have better spam filtering, some have strict rules about attaching any kind of executable code to an email (as in - you just can't)…

To be fair that seems to be the path email is going down. Most businesses don't want run their own email and just use one of two big providers.

It's not really tables all the way down - Lua has datatypes like nil, boolean, number, string, table, userdata + lightuserdata, functions, coroutines. I think that's the entire lis…

There's already a stenographer recording the proceeding, right? I'd think you could project what they're recording onto a display somewhere.

> at first boot up as a parent should be your job to setup a child account. Something I would be 100% OK with is some regulation that at first boot, you have to present information…

Basically these age attestation/verification laws are being pushed as a "save the children!" scenario. But if you read the laws - all they really do is shift responsibility around.…

I cannot express how disappointed I am to see open source projects giving in to complying with age attestation laws. I feel like complying really undermines any first amendment arg…

I think a better approach would be incentives versus punishments. Like - you don't make it illegal to not do age attestations, but you provide a mechanism to encourage it. You get …

Looking back I'm still perplexed about why he never just linked to the original thing he was responding to. I mean listen I understand - I'm not owed anything. If he wants to take …

I stopped reading Daniel Lemire a while back. He had a blog post that seemed just weird and out of left field. Like it was clearly a response to something but what? What was the mo…

There's actually a couple of reasons for Windows apps to make Linux syscalls. I'm pretty certain this is how VST bridging software works so you can use Windows VSTs in Linux DAWs. …

Well there's a few things that have to go right for that scenario to work. It's not impossible but I'd imagine the number of people that could take advantage of it is small. If I h…

I think there's a deeply-ingrained sense of being in love with our cars, loving to do things in our cars, etc. We made long commutes via car a thing, and I think a part of that was…

I don't know if this is intentionally hilarious or unintentionally hilarious, I guess it's the same result either way.
