The point of the article is pretty much that you can pick stable technology instead of joining the treadmill of rewriting in whatever the new thing is. When people are rewriting rust programs in GoombaLang, C will still be around. When people rewrite GoombaLang into SmurfLang, C will still be around, etc

750k items in their content management sysem. N independent labs crawling wanting to check that every day could easily give bursts of millions per hour

Millions per hour is tens per second though; perhaps the fix is performance improvements

The voting dynamics changing beacause elected representatives can't plan their vacations like any regular work place is pretty silly

That's a software issue rather than an inherent limitation. I've driven cars with abs-sensor based TPMS that will tell you which tire is under or over-inflated

Every story about how the US has awful internet has a comment like this. I suspect that the refusal to believe the US is worse at anything is part of the reason it never catches up in those areas.

The whole point of luksSuspend is to not have the encryption keys in memory, as that actually does mean they could be extracted by an attacker who has taken the hardware.

Btw, if you find yourself sending a lot of ports over ssh, you can also consider the option of having ssh start a socks5 proxy

ssh -D 4711 -q -C -N user@host

sets localhost:4711 up as a socks5 proxy you can tell your browser to use

...

A wireguard VPN is better of course; among other things because ssh is multiplexing over a single TCP connection and will encounter head of line blocking (where one dropped packet blocks all forwarded traffic until resent)

That's one consideration of a possible issue, not a key reason it was retracted

The "cautionary" part of the cautionary tale referred to in the article title is that a working vaccine was retracted mainly due to unfounded fears

e.g from the article summary "Just 3 years later, the manufacturer voluntarily withdrew its product from the market amidst media coverage, fears of vaccine side-effects, and declining sales. This paper reviews these events in detail and focuses on the public communication of risks and benefits of the Lyme vaccine and important lessons learned."

The "public communication of risks" not the actual risks.

I've encountered people talking about turning down a promotion to not "get above a tax bracket". They have invariably been wrong and just not understood the basic math, or done any research.

Lacking those basic skills might be a reason not to promote someone though, so perhaps it all works out for the best

and if we started taxing them across the board, no one would dare hold stock

It's only a gain if you sell.

Selling a company and paying tax on the profit in tax is a completely different proposition from paying tax on hypothetical profit you haven't made (and might never make) just because you want to move.

Don't start a company in Germany. There are many better european countries

As a society we should be asking those questions yes

As an individual, pretending you have free will and can opt to not do things you know are bad for you is probably better than doing those things while complaining that society isn't stopping you from hurting yourself

This is one of many things that used to be easier before wayland

You can get pretty far with just the xkbd definions though, although you need root to reconfigure it.

A bit ironically, the easiest way I've found to create xkbd definions is to start an X11 server, reconfigure your xmodmap+xcompose, and export the current xkbd settings. Xmodmap is much easier to edit than editing xkbd directly.

Why would you want to avoid using a struct? Add a macro that declares the appropriate struct and get at least a tiny bit of type checking.

With some clever use of _Generic you could even build specialised functions for that type and get pretty good type checking

As you know this, why don't you fix it?

What is forcing you to doom scroll rather than putting the phone in a different room before going do bed?

Can you give an example of something useful you get from commits following the CC convention?

Arguably "fix memory leak" is why you free the array; freeing the array is just how you fixed it and less interesting as that is also in the diff

Perhaps it's useful to ask why?

What does the jira ticket give you that a longer PR message can't do better?
