There are many techniques for making a closed-source binary harder to reverse engineer: polymorphism, symbol stripping, code encryption, packing, and so on. Closed-source binaries at least stand a chance of being effectively obfuscated, unlike open-source code.
You feel ambivalent about eg. HN not being held liable for some random user signing up and posting, say, a terroristic threat on it? You realise that if platforms/HN were legally punished for that, no website could accept user content, ever, and you are effectively suggesting the end of public communication on the internet?
If you’re talking about the simulator, no. That doesn’t virtualize - it literally just runs it locally on your machine. Less RAM overhead and CPU since it uses your normal instruction set and doesn’t run a separate kernel and userspace.
Antonio Mays Jr was killed on livestream by CHAZ security — and the crime scene tampered after to prevent conviction by CHAZ members.
Tyler Robinson is clearly leftwing, as evidenced by the message on the bullets and association with the leftwing trans militia his partner was a member of in Utah.
And built the system as it is anyway: with no practical way to prevent this from happening. And we see it over and over again in other presidential style systems, the US is just the largest one left to fall.
"Any kind" is quite the load bearing argument there. Let me remind you Europe is under an ongoing land invasion, which is why fucking with its defensive capabilities is unlikely to solicit much sympathies.

Basically, Windows has been installing monitor drivers for a very long time automatically. Usually a single INF file. Recently, companies like LG have discovered and abused that by instead of just that single INF file, they are installing software that pushes malware like McAffee anti-virus onto your computer.
More of a Windows Update + MS partner issue than EDID.
Async. And it comes with WSGI and ASGI transport adapters [1], which are amazing for testing/debugging with the client and server in a single process. And I personally find the httpx API is much cleaner and more composable.
I didn't attack anyone - I simply replied that if we follow their logic to its conclusion, no terrorist group really exists.
Trying to educate anyone in anything on this website is a hopeless cause. Typing anything that contradicts a popularly held belief, even when true, earns downvotes into oblivion. People on this platform don't want to learn anything - people want to prop up the status quo, control narratives and further enlarge their already giant egos.
It depends. For stuff like NPM packages, where the downstream consumers have to make a conscious decision about whether to adopt the update or not, I absolutely think it's worth getting it right, especially for major version bumps. I myself am the user of an open source code gen tool that does not have comprehensive changelogs, and it makes me want to tear my hair out because we can never be confident when upgrading whether or not we're going to end up with changes that will break our workflows or our customers' workflows.
But for consumer apps, honestly, maybe not? Even at companies that do good consumer changelogs, they're generally considered marketing content. Other posters in this thread made the points that most people updating consumer apps are not even going to see the changelog message, and that app stores have effectively punished companies for providing detailed changelogs by holding app store releases over them.
And given that for larger companies so many of them are actually controlling their feature releases on the backend and not on the client side (you might add the capability for a feature on the client months before you actually set the rollout flag to 100%), trying to convey those updates in the client-side changelog can be hard to do in a way that consumers will understand and can often generate a lot of confusion and support tickets. After all, we don't expect a changelog entry when a website updates, and I feel like every day mobile and desktop apps are getting closer and closer to that category.
A federal appeals court recently ruled that states can regulate prediction marketplaces as gambling luckily. Engage your state legislators and regulators.
I have noticed fads in rhetoric as I've gotten older and lived through many of these moments. The rhetorical fads are mostly about structuring an argument where to disagree makes you appear beyond the pale.
What fascinating about these is that they eventually turn on themselves, because rhetoric has no logical foundation and can be twisted to mean anything.
The US president was always designed to be like this. It's like people are deliberately forgetting anti-federalists were not only a thing, they warned about these exact same problems over 200 years ago.
It's Friday, so probably a lot of the more well adjusted human beings are a little busy living life.
But yeah, good god people are being absurd.
However, there was similar absurdity a couple years ago, when an article about Costco having to dump a truckload of butter because it was mislabled, with everyone coming out of the woodwork to decry it as obvious government waste making us all poorer.
Which was insane of course. It was one truckload, just like here, and improperly labeled, just like here.
The US system takes the sanctity of product labeling extremely seriously, because the intent is that you can trust the label, and therefore make informed free market decisions! Strictly regulated labeling is a great way to reduce the information asymmetry between producer and consumer, and help keep a market competitive!
The reality is that nobody here is any better or worse than the average on any website that doesn't make you take a test before you can post. That was always true, but it's getting a little noisy. Notice how there is in fact pushback in this comments section to those running wild with assertions and bullshit, and those comments are getting downvoted to oblivion.
That is new and utterly toxic.
How many in this comment section even noticed that this is not safety related?
>High blood levels of xylitol associated with higher risk of major cardiovascular events, in largest study of its kind
Cue the ignorant "correlation is not causation" chants.
Yeah buddy, I'm sure that amazing wisdom that took less than a second to some random HN visitor tp comment upon merely seeing an article's title was unknown to the researchers and not accounted for.
"The researchers also highlighted that the association was independent of underlying factors such as body mass index, hypertension, diabetes and lipid levels, which might predispose people to low-calorie products."
Ah, yes, never mind the hundreds of documented far right MAGA supporters that got video taped during the protest storming the Capitol, being violent towards police and destroying public property without masks and being easily identifiable. They were clearly infiltrated antifa wearing realistic masks to tarnish the reputation of real patriots!
For littler personal projects, I’ve used python’s webview to avoid having to bundle a whole browser when the app (it uses the operating system’s default engine). It also didn’t require a learn a whole framework… I could just hook a web front end to some python functions, and run it as a desktop app.
Yeah, typically I end up building websites (for myself and others) in basically three "lanes". Static HTML/CSS files, great for docs, presentations, reports and similar. Or, websites with some interactive/dynamic elements, HTMX is great for this. Or, fully fledged "client-side apps" where it's more of an application than website, then I go full out dynamic programming with ClojureScript and similar approaches.
I'm not sure why so many people seemingly fall into the trap of trying to find one tool and then use that absolutely everywhere. I mean, I'm familiar with it as in "it's fun" as I used Nix as a framework for a static website builder, but I keep seeing people making those sort of choices professionally too. Like when React first became popular, then suddenly people try to jam it into absolutely everything, until they slowly walk back and then after some years agree that maybe it's good for some things, not for everything and not as a default.
my point was I'm not using specialized software, I'm using the software shipped with the system. MS Office isn't Apple Software, so holding apple responsible for Microsoft code quality seems counter to your first point.
That’s exactly the sort of bureaucratic mistake which gets exposed via wartime mishaps.
