To offer a differing opinion, why is null helpful at all?
If you have data that may be empty, it’s better to explicitly represent that possibility with an Optional<T>
generic type. This makes the API more clear, and if implicit null isn’t allowed by the language, prevents someone from passing null where a value is expected.
Or if it’s uninitialized, the data can be stored as Partial<T>
, where all the fields are Optional<U>
. If the type system was nominal, it would ensure that the uninitialized or partially-initialized type can’t be accidentally used where T
is expected since Partial<T>
!= T
. When the object is finally ready, have a function to convert it from Partial<T>
into T
.
You have to pass new laws to match the digital world.
They did—it’s called the DMCA, and it’s working exactly as they intended it to.
Yeah, but that’s thinking long-term. CEOs of publicly traded companies don’t give a shit about anything other than making the line go up during their own employment at the company.
In some jurisdictions, you can’t hire foreign workers unless there are no local workers that meet the job requirements. Posting a fake position with the intent to deny all candidates is usually sufficient to demonstrate that an attempt was made to search for local talent. They can’t admit it without getting into a lot of trouble, however.
Paying people more is a recurring cost, and the ultimate goal of a company is to keep increasing profits. If they can spend $10k once to scare their employees into being more productive, it has a better return on investment.
For-profit prisons and corporate lobbying are one hell of a combination.
If you have 11 people and a Nazi at a dinner party, you have 12 Nazis.
The problem is that they’re trying to frame it as a better replacement for sudo when it’s really not.
In some respects, it’s safer by not using a setuid binary. In other respects, it massively increases the surface area by relying on the correctness of three separate daemons: systemd, dbus, and polkitd. If any one of those components are misconfigured, you risk an unauthorized user gaining root privileges.
With sudo, the main concern is the sudo process being exploited through memory safety bugs since it runs at root automatically.
Don’t get me wrong, sudo has a lot of stupid decisions and problems. There’s a ton of code in sudo for features that almost nobody uses, and there’s bound to be bugs in there somewhere. It needs to be replaced with something simpler, but run0 is not that.
I believe that’s called “rules for the LGBT, but not for me.”
What the fuck does it take to get bail denied in Texas?
Threatening a cop as a minority will do it. Outside of that, probably nothing.
A better implementation than run0

Unless you already paid for a lifetime Plex pass, I highly recommend giving Jellyfin a try.
They don’t have NAT punchthrough like Plex, but they also aren’t trying to push streaming content on you. It’s just your library, and that’s it.
Being pedantic, but…
The amd64 ISA doesn’t have native 256-bit integer operations, let alone 512-bit. Those numbers you mention are for SIMD instructions, which is just 8x 32-bit integer operations running at the same time.
If you’re willing to admit that you’re denigrating an operating system for having the same flaws as the one you prefer and are being a massive hypocrite in doing so, sure.
Only slightly related, but here’s the compiler flag to disable an arbitrary 2GB limit on x86 programs.
Finding the reason for its existence from a credible source isn’t as easy, however. If you’re fine with an explanation from StackOverflow, you can infer that it’s there because some programs treat pointers as signed integers and die horribly when anything above 7FFFFFFF gets returned by the allocator.
You’re thinking of operating systems that give unrestricted access to all parts of a computer that aren’t memory or the camera. That would everything1, actually.
1 There’s also Linux with properly-configured SELinux, but good luck with that on a distro that isn’t focused on opsec.
That sounds extremely unsettling to visit. If I had other “tourists” blatantly watching my every move as I walked through a museum, I would want to get as far away from that place as humanly possible.
That said, Scientologists are all over other parts of L.A. including Hollywood offering “free personality tests”
It really makes you wonder what other kind of insane, duplicitous shit they would have pulled to recruit new members had things went differently with their public image.
It’s an atrocity they voluntold Isaac Hayes to quit voice acting on South Park. Chef was a staple of the show.
A reminder: Google added support for and then subsequently dropped JPEGXL support in Chrome. Fuck Google.
