Business requirements will have to change. All your competitors are under the same pressure with the same shitty set of options, after all.

Striking resemblance.

I don't know anything about this Astra thing but his site looks very AI-generated!

> Having mutability not be a property of the data, but of the function arguments [...]

I don't know if you were aware of this, but Rust has that too. (Actually it's a property of any binding, not just function parameters)

> But i gotta say, living off grid is fundamentally solipsist. Abandoning society rather than attempting to live well within society will always be a dead end.

I strongly disagree; the way I see it is people like this are trying something different and their ideas could in the long run turn out to be better than the ideas that present day society is exploring.

And if God forbid, society experiences some kind of collapse, the skills and knowledge of these people will be invaluable for recovery.

> Like, all submissions must be able to run on a 486 25Mhz and 4MB of RAM, this would keep the code small and manageable. Don't do that, but you get the idea.

Why not? It works for Dusk OS!

If you're going to assume God exists without any evidence, you might as well also assume he is good, without evidence.

So are you saying Applebaum was framed?

robots.txt?

I don't think it'll become impossible or even illegal, but better safe than sorry.

Yes. Grab those open-weight models while you still can.

I've learned so much awk from Claude!

> And to clarify, this means encrypt it before it gets to the VPS. Just having full-disk encryption is not enough because cloud providers can dump RAM. There are tools that easily extract encryption keys from RAM.

True, but at the very least, you won't have to worry about discarded SSDs having your data in plaintext.

If you carefully re-read what GP wrote, you'll see there's no reference to Earth's orbit or 1 AU in there. GP wrote about the solar wind scattering cosmic rays when it reached some point in its outward travel.

Or we could fly less.

I wouldn't assume that. I would wish to see numbers on that first.

> Imo the future lies in a solid core programs with powerful plugin frameworks that expect all plugins to be code that was never read.

What makes you think that?

Err, last word is "analogy"

This could've been a much better article without the strained Tower of Babel article.

I had to enable "exploit protection compatibility mode" to use my credit union's app.

> [...] until I noticed Google had force bundled a 'Wicked For Good' movie promo theme with the latest security update.

This is how users learn to not update anything.

How could anyone answer that with any level of certainty?

Yes, but do these enthusiasts care at all if it meets some need for the users? I suspect that they do.

And how can they find out how well it meets that need other than receiving (respectful!) feedback?

> it's a non-profit (well, a for-profit owned by a non-profit) that needs to make a big profit in a short amount of time.

Can you please elaborate on this need to make a big profit? Where does the need come from?

Why do you say it's almost certainly untrue? Capital is well known for trying to suppress wages.

Depends on the business.

I could've sworn I saw something in the last month or two about BITBLT or DirectX changes on Windows.

Google is a step ahead of that, with their device attestation technology. Now apps can make sure they are only running in an approved environment.

This article feels a little suspect. They beat the AI drum a bit hard. So I go to https://workweave.dev and of course their business model is tied up with LLMs.

> IME people an incredibly warped view of just how subtle and easy it is to introduce a memory safety bug.

Agreed, and I think part of the reason is because they take it personally when someone claims programmers (in general) can't consistently write memory safe C/C++.
