I'm white and this was me. If it weren't for these programs, I'd either be in jail or working retail/fast food. Congratulations on provoking me, I'm going to take a long hiatus from HN now and go build something. I've changed my password to a randomly generated (ephemeral) string on this and my main account; I won't be back to contribute.
Yes but we're talking about today. And C's smallness/simplicity means that bootstrapping on new architectures is straightforward. Meanwhile Rust needs 64bit, etc. just to build. Rust's early embrace of compile-time complexity (ZCA) means this will always be a fundamental problem for the language. In fact it's getting worse over time.
I'm amazed by the hostility of these comments, including personal attacks, and by this post being flagged. The author isn't some nobody who just finished a boot camp, but a very skilled C hacker. He makes a good argument for the importance of portability, a topic that seldom comes up in the C/Rust discussions I've read.
Ordering isn't the bottleneck at In n Out, it's the food made fresh, sometimes for custom orders. The menu itself couldn't be much simpler. The kids taking down the orders work quickly and are always at the end of the line. That they're friendly humans and not a confused AI is an added benefit.
On the other hand this should work for McDonalds, where nobody's expecting friendliness or much of anything; it's basically a feed trough.
That's the great thing about math: It doesn't care how sincerely you believe that 6 and 9 are the same number. In other words, the kind of game you're talking about can only go on for so long before cold reality makes itself known.
I've worked in newsrooms and disagree with this saintly image of truth-seekers. Yes, the rank and file reporters are not looking to grind an axe; even if they were, they'd be too busy to do it. The well-known writers have huge egos and strong opinions. The editors are even worse.
Also, please don't cast aspersions like "only seems accurate" and "conspiracy theories." There is no conjecture in this editorial: It's somebody's opinion about recent, real developments in major newspapers.
She's wrong to imply that if only SolarWinds had followed her iPad password policy, the attack would have been stopped. And she's mistaken about Orion's use case, which has nothing to do with email security.
And while Russia conducted this attack, I'm tired of the Russian scarecrow: SolarWinds' job here has nothing to do with Russia.
But mostly I'm jaded by ambitious SoCal pols neglecting their districts to score easy points on national issues.
People focus on the password because it's the only part of the story they can relate to or understand. Orange County Rep. Katie Porter:
> "I've got a stronger password than 'solarwinds123' to stop my kids from watching too much YouTube on their iPad ... You and your company were supposed to be preventing the Russians from reading Defense Department emails!"
Too old to recognize the brand, but I'm not following the logic here at all. What kind of clothing manufacturer do you find most appropriate for a street tough?
