You're absolutely right, I have hallucinated this. Would you like to find some real CVEs next?
Honest take, this is a critical CVE.

Re:Rufus: Reliable USB Formatting Utility on Friday May 07, 2021 @04:18AM (#27073612)
I think this was the tool that was happily reporting copying my files over to a USB stick despite there being copying errors (for which it didn't check, apparently).

Left me puzzled with regard to why copying over a new image still led to the older one booting for a while.

Switching to a different USB slot (2 VS 3) solved it, iirc (and I think I never used Rufus again).

Now do this with .bat files :)

He is right though, watermarked w10 has no time limit, and comes with what seems only a few limitations, like inability to customize the taskbar location, for example.
How dare you, sir, attack the *n dream!
Still just watermarked, in fact.
The only two times my HDDS failed, was with WD. The first one was after the shipping refurbished as new in 2000s scandal.

How much UB does your own code contain, folks (and what practices do you follow to avoid it)?

Cheers from the shadowland :)

There was a book featured in a HN post about a year ago - an older Linux source with extra commentary, used by students in China, I think (book is in English)

can I buy being upvoted outta the shadow ban?

Don't forget how well financial stability correlates with monetary well-being!
I heard https://beagleboard.org/black can boot and run Linux w/o any blobs either in bootloader or kernel (provided you're OK with a sub-par screen resolution and not using the onboard GPU)

>> My understanding of the timeline and Guido's writings on the subject make it seem very unlikely that C++ or Perl had any significant impact on the decision to create Python or the design of Python.

Look at slide 4 of http://www.aleax.it/Python/ep03_meta.pdf:

>>> "Putting Metaclasses to Work", by Ira Forman and Scott Danforth (AddisonWesley 1998) / strong influence on Python 2.2 & later /„ based on IBM SOMobjects & C++

That's only one thing coming to mind :) (immediately followed by the quote: "In the past, the subject of metaclasses in Python has caused hairs to raise and even brains to explode (see, for example Metaclasses in Python 1.5). Fortunately, in Python 2.2, metaclasses are more accessible and less dangerous." by Guido at https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2/descrintro/ -- referencing same C++ book(s), actually)
