ah, you say that, but with wifi light switches and wifi toilets it's easy to connect those together nowadays!
Re:Larry Lessig's theory: our society is governed by four forces on Tuesday September 19, 2023 @10:05AM (#37570124)
Sounds like pretty basic observation of society, as in people are driven by: 1. What what they can do -- the tools. 2. What others do. 3. Costs / benefits. 4. What hurts -- laws and consequences of not following the law.

I wouldn't be surprised students of sociology would have better models to describe this.

String Theory tries to say that.
The bad rap was probably due to older versions. I used to program PHP in a professional setting (quite a while ago) and it basically interchangeable as any other system script (bash) executed by a parent http server process.

The language itself at the time was mostly useful because you could execute a script made of HTML (or anything really) with some embedded magic tags interpreted as PHP instead of the opposite where you had to do some sort of template engine.

Re:The database servers powering Let's Encrypt on Friday January 22, 2021 @10:35AM (#25872507)
Yes, but they better not get caught. It's a trust based model. It's actually Internet stack developers/packagers (anything from protocols in OS or libraries to browsers and devices) that are trusting Let's Encrypt among other certificate authorities.

Would argue that UI Redressing is the general problem (mostly present on the web, but can also be done on native as this paper suggests). Good BH presentation: https://www.blackhat.com/docs/asia-14/materials/Niemietz/Asi...

I would assume endianness to be an issue in such code. Where in these structs would the order need to be validated? Or am I wrong in thinking that the byte order matters for x86 targeted c network code?

Re:VMware Photon Linux on Tuesday April 21, 2015 @09:46AM (#9413939)
From: https://vmware.github.io/photon/

Photon™ is a technology preview of a minimal Linux container host. It is designed to have a small footprint and boot extremely quickly on VMware platforms. Photon™ is intended to invite collaboration around running containerized applications in a virtualized environment.

Optimized for vSphere - Validated on VMware product and provider platforms. Container support - Supports Docker, rkt, and the Pivotal Garden container specifications. Efficient lifecycle management - contains a new, open-source, yum-compatible package manager that will help make the system as small as possible, but preserve the robust yum package management capabilities.

Don't listen to him, its just for performance, compatibility and portability. There's many other reasons why you might want to use another language, and some do.

Both are needed! Javascript is great for portability of apps that would otherwise be done in a native environment (you wouldn't want to index these anyway). Isn't there a standard mime type to execute js directly in browsers? There should if not. If you care about being searchable and having designs that are readable on a variety of devices, powerful and degradable markup is very useful.
