They will not get as safe as cars. They are inherently dangerous, it's like taking a car and removing every safety feature. Removing doors, windows and belts. There's a reason that there is a legal requirement in many countries to

Reminds me of trying to download printer drivers or manual from Epson. Actually motherboard manufacturers are just as bad. Some god awful user hostile interface. Never just a direct link.

Mechanical code review by something like sonar qube is much cheaper. Use that for low bar quality gate and AI after. AI code review is startlingly effective. Continually finding things me and my colleagues never would. Well the decent model

Who gets to decide which operating systems have provided a public good? What criteria? I want the law to apply equally.

Nothing in particular. In my head all that needs to happen is some form of update (dependency, core project or the Android version on my phone) and sneaks in something that reads the unencrypted file and sends it over the internet somewhere

My gut reaction to this is that there is something seriously wrong if special clauses are required. Why should open source get special treatment, to me that just highlights that the law is utterly ridiculous.

I've been really struggling to get AI to write good quality c# code, or to be precise, what I see as good quality. I'm in two minds on if it matters or not. On one hand I think, I want to be proud of it, I want to be able to exp

The quality of the posts in Reddit grew worse and worse. To the point that I stopped visiting it frequently and my use of hacker news grew and grew. Exactly the same thing is happening to hacker news. I guess as it's reverting to the m

I haven't played Cyberpunk, I loved the original Deus ex. I think cyberpunk would probably too much for me to try and play these days, due to no free time. Is it open world, so unlike Deus ex single contained levels?

Exactly how I feel too. They bring magic into my life that I didn't even know I was missing. I'll be sad when they grow up and leave.

It seems to have become a given since he won the election, before this, the coverage of binface in the run up to this election has been endkess. If no one in the BBC or elsewhere thought he had a chance of winning, no one would have bothere

You are measuring only the inconvenience you have directly experienced. Not the impact on wider society. Whistle blowers, journalists, religious apostates, people unsure about their sexuality all rely on annonimity on the internet. I can&#x

Don't agree at all. Microsoft originally hoped that other vendors office type offerings would be good enough, they weren't (lotus notes) so Microsoft did it themselves. Bill gates also understood the value great programmers. The w

Ha! This is pretty much what happened to me on my steamdeck the night before last. Login via GitHub or something nonsense. I was too tired, I turned it off. I tried a few years ago and I ended up in and endless loop of login redirects. Tota
