Informative and interesting article, thanks for sharing.

Quite a few of these POSIX improvements were new to me, even though it turns out that they already exist in the GNU versions of the tools.

Yes!

If you distribute Linux crackers then you need to provide not just the list of ingredients but also the recipe used to make them.

The past tense of the verb “to lead” is “led.”

“Lead” is a heavy metal.

I should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”

“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C

Is this a joke or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.

There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy

I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.

The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.

Nothing in the licensing scheme changed, at all.

This statement is incorrect. The SDK had specific source files placed exclusively under the SDK license, and the remainder of the repository dual licensed between GPL 3 and the SDK license. So the licensing scheme did change.

I get why you’d suggest the previous commenter is out of touch with what users want, but what does that have to do with being a software engineer?

I’ve had this one in my images folder for at least a couple of decades. No idea where I saved it from:

Fuck Zuck.

Older games are better than a lot of modern AAA slop, but not for the reasons she describes.

I was hoping she would talk about game design, or writing, mechanics, player agency, gameplay before graphics or literally anything else but she spent nearly 15 minutes only talking about tired culture wars talking points like, “why don’t women look feminine aymore,” “why are characters designed for diversity/inclusion first before story,” “Concord sucks lol.”

Yeah AAA writing is shit, please change the record so all the sweaty neckbeard virgins complaining about Aloy’s facial hair can crawl back in their caves. So sick of hearing about it.

She shouts out Asmongold in her comments. Disgraceful.

The binary blobs match which checksums? The ones provided by the ventoy developer?

GLIM is an alternative that’s much simpler (it just uses Grub configs) so it is easy to audit:

Please don’t continue to recommend Ventoy. It has serious and unanswered security questions hanging over it, and the developer seems to be completely AWOL.

Did you read the article?

If you think that I’m misunderstanding something and arguing from a false premise then please feel free to engage with the discussion.

I thought passkeys were supposed to be a hardware device?

This is typical embrace/extend/extinguish behavior from the large platforms that don’t want their web-SSO hegemony challenged because it would mean less data collection and less vendor lock-in.

The whole idea of passkeys provided by an online platform should have been ruled out by the specification. It completely defeats the purpose of passkeys which is that the user has everything they need to authenticate themself.
