It can not be a copy of a top secret american space plane, simply because that space plane wouldn’t be top secret if it could be copied.

This game is rigged by pigs at the trough.

It’s not a failure of corporate. It’s a failure of community. Would it be better if all internet infrastructure would be controlled by corporate? I would argue: no, it wouldn’t.

Perhaps It should be NPOs like ISOC or IETF that supports private open source engagement into internet infrastructure ?

It is, but it isn’t because of free market economy.

$6 a gallon is about €1.36 a litre - thats cheap compared to a European average of €2 per litre.

Still that makes very clear why Venezuela had to happen before Iran.

It’s the simulation effect - From the perspective of a interstellar travler you too are not meaning different from any other two legged quasi intelligent naked ape. :)

Dwarf fortress or rim world solves that by generating personalities.

So simple, nice :)

Wow! Thanks a lot!

he’ll Yea, make it mail based with full backward comp ability to arpa!

nice :-) i'll try that! thx

A minimal, self-contained pair of Go binaries to record SSH sessions and watch them live or replay them later. No server-side component: everything runs on your local box.

Interesting read, thank you. I share your goal, and I think with AI- coding proving code right has become more relevant than ever.

What prevents that we, just move the goal post? Moving the bug from code to spec? The spec must always be simpler and more easily to understand and debug than the code. But in praxis that means it can’t be fully specific in most of the use cases?

I once talk about the art of programming in a job interview and got flashed by a bachelor of biz with: but isn’t it suppose to be engineering? I died a little bit inside…

I don’t understand - Why did they write this? It seems to add nothing to the domain?

I read the free part. Looks interesting, but the math heritage is dominant as promised.

It seems to favor the compact and efficient kind of code that is brittle in the hand of a mildly competent junior dev, or a heavy multitasking senior.

I like smart code, in fun projects, but on the job I prefer fast to read and to reason code. Don’t try to be fancy.

So I guess that’s a book to challenge my assumptions. I like that. Thx.

Yea, LLM remove the burden of typing - so if token cost don’t explode the new high-level languages will be above the current - and the new low-level language will maybe just weights…

I feel the same, but still believe there is a way to organize my work to make it happen. It’s more like leading a team of juniors: don’t let them drag you into their private rabbit holes, enable them to implement how ever tiny or big chunks they are able too. The common problems is exactly a Junior habit: always inventing new stuff instead of moving existing pieces, always adding never removing and punching holes in blackboxes to workaround mystery.

Agree, but I think it is still better than before, because of the color differences to the headline.

I still would prefer a true Icon.

It would be ok if America would ban Huawei from building national infrastructure - it wouldn’t be very capitalistic tho.

But it is down right evil to impose extraterritorial sanctions against a company and preventing other to do business with them.

Your phone nummer is global unique id of your person. Even more as many nations require you register the phone number with personal informations.

While waiting for the article to load i was thinking - was zero or one the first number? Or was it two, because you need at least two to start counting?

Then i realized that i was offtopic in a kinda funny way

While Waiting until the article has loaded, i tried to figure out if Zero or One came first ... doh

great! thanx!

Indeed! After all we live in a world where many ssl private certificates are only protected by OS file system rights on a internet facing server. And clear text database passwords in config files are common, in all content management systems - and even many customer relationship systems!

mysqldump got a CLI argument to provide the password! As far as I know - visible to anyone with some access on the system. the documentation warns about that and suggest to create a config file to store the password.

security is a spectrum - but if it's about password storage in modern web applications live on the lower end.

I am increasingly frustrated by that - and if I raise concerns many admins stick to binary security "storing stuff unencrypted on disk is okay, cause the attacker is inside already" followed by "you must store the key somewhere" it's wrong and it's true at the same time. it's also sad - because not only the users, but also the ppl paying us trust us to keep them save. and we don't. :( we can say "it's a spectrum" and we are truthful - but we just can't keep em safe. I think it's important to recognize that simple fact.

...or is it me who is just meticulous?

I did not know such thing is possible. very cool! thx for pointing it out! :)

but still..some rhetorical questions: Is KMS based on this concept? Is it's implementation open sourced? Is it verified to run unchanged in the instance I pay? Who is verifying it? Who is paying the one verifying it? Can I meet him / her to drink a coffee and build trust between us?

pls, do not misunderstand me. I got more trust in the amazon techs than in my own ability to admin a complex linux system on bare metal. But while all that is great progress toward security we still need to make a leap to find a solution. don't we?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think there is no secure way to store stuff in an virtual environment.

I wish I am wrong - cause my heart always bleeds if I see db passwords in configuration files! But As long as there is a hypervisor you do not control access to - you must trust the owner of the bare metal to (1) honor your privacy (2) be competent to secure his system. Trust is nice, but it is not security.

granted - Confidant and KMS seem better solution than most. Will look into it at more detail. thx for open sourcing it and moving the solution forward.

cool Release! i realy like the all the improvements in tooling. thx!
