The government will never comply with this order. Also, periodic reminder that articles which don't link (or even quote) primary sources are propaganda, not journalism. Here's an article which does link and quote: https:/&#x

Preventing such stripping as a website operator would be trivial. Just sign the combined URL and tracking parameters and refuse to serve the unauthenticated version. This is very well understood technology with a barely novel application. (

Primary sources are anathema to mainstream media. It's not just political articles, it's the whole damn profession. If you can watch ten seconds of him bowling you don't need to spend ten minutes on the article.

It's telling that not a single reply to your comment actually engages with the question about poor smart white kids. The answer is simple: poor white kids are the outgroup, and "mainstream" American society would like them to

I recommend reading sifive's errata, at least the ones it's possible to get ahold of. They are consistently wild, for multiple CPU IP generations. Some paraphrases that come to mind: "mmu doesn't work; workaround: don&#x

There's a quote that goes something like "the last piece of software ever written for a novel OS is the UNIX compatibility layer". kernel32.dll is essentially that, except it isn't even UNIX compatible!

I trust you already obtained the proper licenses from your local authorities before designing and implementing a new programming language? And those licenses are on file with the major security vendors?

Algebraic effects use delimited continuations (and this appears to match toss/return). Call/cc captures an undelimited continuation. Totally different.

The link has pretty convincing evidence of astroturfing. What I don't understand is why take the sub private instead of deleting the post? That's crazy. Were they concerned deleting a post would create more backlash than taking th

Your failure to distinguish memory errors from logic errors does not mean that rust didn't succeed at eliminating the former.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/416 . I'm having trouble finding how to correlate XKCD numbers with dates, but I think this might be over a decade old. ETA: In fact I'm sure it is, because Time (1190) is a decade o

Can you recommend any resources on how to avoid paradoxes? From what little I know, very innocent seeming combinations of features/axioms result in proofs of false. That seems to be a very important resource for developing a language,

The good news is that everything else the US government suppressed really was outrageous lies that are only supported by racists, like the mRNA vaccines being completely ineffective and often fatal.

I would not recommend ever changing credentials while under attack, unless they are known to be weak (but the time to change them is before the attack, in that case). The process of changing them opens up several vectors of attack. Addition

While I understand the sentiment, like all attempts at outsmarting stupid people, it is misplaced. If they're not copying your fake private key they're just copying someone else's.
