Aren't there compiler warnings for potential overflows already, that come in the form of warning: something when compiling? Aren't runtime overflows detected using the coredump in gdb, not gcc?

Shiny ASCII art seems like a waste of time and/or calling the dev stupid. What am i missing here?

Just about any major distro.

DST is a digital STD

I'd say paying money is not as effective at influencing a project as embedding developers is.

I.e. it's now even harder to run your own mail server. If it was crypto-related the argument would be Think of the children™, since it's email the excuse is spam.

Surprised no one.

Having / on ZFS, but that went into an initrd i think... don't remember, but not hardware related.

A kernel that fits my hardware and supports things the original kernel doesn't. Then again, i use gentoo.

if you can’t understand how that would make some people uncomfortable then you might be a bit lacking in empathy.

I'm lacking in empathy.

The 3d world has Utah teapots and Stanford bunnies and dragons which are all very neutral and don’t hurt anyone.

Ooooh i'm sure someone, somewhere, somehow will feel offended. Better ban those too.

Yes, the provenance is "questionable", but it's a pic of a human wearing a hat, ffs.

The model being tired of it would be enough reason for me to stop using it (as you mentioned, there are plenty of alternatives); but American prudeness? No.

I do wonder, however, if more recent papers (2010 and forward) using that image were doing so as reference to older papers, or entirely contained to their own research.

I hadn't heard of this before this post, the pic is innocuous enough, i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people don't even know that's a crop of an old magazine photo.

Kids used to grow up playing outside and getting slapped by their parents when stepping out of line.

Now they're grown inside social media isolation bubbles and eventually meet the real world, leading to mental illpreparedness.

are implementing more and more forced features you can’t disable

Not even through about:config?

The Peter principle says otherwise, but analysts are a factor for sure.

US doesn't know Rest-of-the-World exists.

XMPP exodus

John Deere wants a word.

For me, a doorbell that is more than a doorbell is a perfect example of tech built to fill a need no one had.

Because the tech-illiterate people who have authority only know "productivity" tools and couldn't care less about the opinions of the people who actually know what they're doing.

Ah yes, the rust zealots shitting on one of the most important languages of all time... again.

Kinda weird how the number one way to promote Rust has been to downplay C and others.

Incidentally:

• which models are the best new old?
• what are the best places to get them?

...asking for a friend.
