What is with the trend of making stupid ass titles to explain some small tech issue?
Yes the social sciences are where the critical thinkers are. They think so critically that you can't reproduce their work.

ok, i default to the math meaning and try to interpret the english meaning.
yes i wasnt specific. however, more city recycling is just plastic and sometimes but not always paper.

the majority of city recycling is a waste.

verboten!
thank you romania for saving democracy!

people really believe this hyperbole. i hear it almost everyday working in tech.

many blue drones can't recognize their droneness, but will happily make fun of red drones.

Re:UK lawmakers vote in support of assisted dying on Saturday November 30, 2024 @11:27AM (#42282378)
the expected cost savings only increases as the age for assisted dying decreases

in the limit, health care is abortion and euthanasia only.

we all know that abortion prevents suffering of the mother and the child who will never experience it.

euthanasia fixes the mistake of not aborting.

we cannot suffer if we just dont live.

bravo for trying. its bizarre to me that we are at a point in time that someone could even imagine that suicide, esp assisted, would be permissible in Christianity.

the protestant view dominates "public Christianity". even Catholics will happily tell you that "yeah we believe in this, but I certainly dont" in regards to things like abortion. they just ignore the leap in logic because it's "permissible" by some protestants.

for many, Christianity is simply "turn the other cheek" on steroids, wrongfully interpreted as "mind my own business" and "only believe in the parts I want to".

the math people work towards the same goal. why single them out
Ok, I didn't really define logic bugs. I think of things like race conditions as memory bugs because its improper access to the same variable.

So I suppose All Bugs Are Logic Bugs.

But I really meant that many software software vuln aren't even that fancy. Sure if you have something like an iPhone which has whole companies trying to hack it, then eventually the bugs you have left are fancy heap overflows. But lots of products have logic errors, like mischecking creds etc.

I will also pick on CISA for recommending a language that requires something like cargo. Why is it a good idea for critical infrastructure to require internet access to compile its code? CISA is supposed to be concerned about the fact that critical infra. is privately held and they should encourage secure practices. So suggest a language that in practice requires internet access? this is absurd to me.

People can downvote all they want. But CISA needs a talking point, and "Rust solves it" is one they won't ever let go. Go talk to those freaks and remember I told you so.

CISA is stupid. Logic bugs don't go away with Rust.
