I think this is vastly overrated: - how much code actually gets read outside of top 2-3 projects? - how many of those readers can detect security problems? - why are others inheren…

Sure, it just invalidates the impending doom, ban C programming narrative.

1000 lines are easier to secure than 5 million lines

The point is that many of the problems rust aims to solve become much less relevant. For example, if your program only does 10 Malloc and frees, you can probably track down the mem…

Side note: tell your startup to switch its “hardware with Ubuntu Linux inside” to BSD. You will have a much more stable and simple platform that can last a long time.

Are you thinking of a safari exploit that allows JavaScript to get out of the safari process? What’s the attack scenario?

I promise, you will be just fine without the security updates.

Sounds like you opened up the newspaper and scanned for “mathematician”. Leveraging phd research into a great job is a tough. Re-skilling into a normie engineer/technician/analyst,…

In other words, the commenters suggestion would not make the video better fit that need.

Billions of views and total YouTube dominance disagree with you.

> recording ui interactions, etc This is a sign that the software has grown to become its own operating system. They also have to add their own version control… remote editing, etc…

Why?

Is the hearing aid market big on modularity and compatibility? isn’t it good to have multiple options so consumers can pick what they value?

Like people, VCs are also motivated by status, recognition, and making cool things. If they were only financially interested they would play the game with much less status bias.

That’s ascribing a lot of power to the EU which I don’t think is politically cut and dry and certainly not a result of elections.

> ill-gotten gains We are assigning moral value to this? You don’t think EU is a self interested party looking to interpret the law as favorably as they can?

It’s actually just because they all use unreal. 4k also requires upscaling or minimizing work per pixel, which encourages everyone to use similar methods.
