This reads as classic shilling to me. There are companies that sponsor the industry association, who have a strong interest in people choosing to treat with their products. One of those companies, Essilor, _just happens_ to have their expen

I noted this in reply to the comment above, but: the YAML 1.2 spec doesn't actually mandate that parsers use the Core Schema. They left it as a recommendation. So I don't consider it to be "fixed" at all.

I would not say it "fixed" the problem. It removed the _recommendation_ for parser implementations to use the regex `y|Y|yes|Yes|YES|n|N|no|No|NO|true|True|TRUE|false|False|FALSE|on|On|ON|off|Off|OFF` for parsing scalars as bools,

Correction, the petition for the TRO was filed ex parte. Digicert did not have any opportunity to respond before it was granted. They certainly could have filed a response contesting the TRO. Then their customer could have filed another mot

My guy, read the blog post before responding. Not only has Stevan written a stateful property-based testing library, the article you didn't read addresses at great length the question of "why".

Yes, but people are allowed to express a strong opinion on a complex subject without also specifically mentioning all the caveats and possible counter-arguments to their position. By all means argue back and add the nuance you think is miss

One brand new wifi gotcha I just learned about, specific to 5GHz wifi: in the EU, that frequency band is used by other things, including radar for air traffic control and emergency services aircraft. The solution we decided on for that was

The article says that you call and then speak to an "agent". I wonder if they mean a human agent, or if it's an AI.

That's the problem, there isn't a good objective measure. Some type of "reasonableness" standard is usually invoked in situations like this, but that kinda just takes us back to square one: what's currently consider

This would be an absolutely terrible standard. CVEs really, really suck. See, for example, this CVE for curl[1] that was assigned a 9.8. Or read sqlite's page on CVEs[2]. The sqlite issues alone would make this a non-starter, because y

One thing that regulators need to be very careful about is how "security updates" are defined, and exactly what manufacturer obligations for issuing security updates should be. CVEs are a notoriously terrible representation of act

It's not about security by obscurity. A better analogy would be the fight over "tivoization". In safety-critical and highly-regulated systems like automotive and health care, there's a meaningful regulatory interest in e

That's silly. If we followed your logic, there is no such thing as "at most once" delivery. It's actually "exactly-once" delivery, since if it is 0 it is not a delivery.

Your numbers are massively wrong at a glance, when I went to check them. Microsoft's total number of employees increased by roughly 40k between June 30 2021 and June 30 2022, but a large portion of that increase was from M&A, not

This doesn't really make sense. Akka is a framework/library, not something that could be offered as a service, anymore than you could have "boost as a service" or "numpy as a service". I think that makes this c
