6.3.0 is already out...

A firewall doesn't stop the traffic from being sent

Most of my career has been working for shops running FreeBSD.

FreeBSD is doing just fine. ZFS change is not interesting. Previously upstream was Illinois, now it's Linux. Support for releases changed but for the better. Stability is still great, but it will be a while before I see servers with 10 years uptime on modern kernels again. If I'm lucky it won't happen because they're getting patched...

Why do you think that? They're still applying for patents, but they'll share theirs if you share all yours.

So far no other car company has stepped up and offered their patent portfolio in return.

I was hearing this back around 2004-2005 that welders could make $150k if they take this remote oil pipeline jobs and "all your expenses are paid for while you're out in the field".

I heard a lot of people talk about taking these jobs but they never seemed to exist.

Well if their spam/flood control is done in the client they should ban themselves from their job and let someone competent take over

You really don't want Matrix. One year of Matrix to IRC bridge cost me about 30GB in Postgresql database to hold the state/logs of everything.

It was less than 500MB of plaintext irssi logs.

Correct

If we really cared we'd only ship data and not code

Which to me is a big yawn because as long as we have javascript engines in our browsers this will probably be possible. Browsing websites is basically an RCE anyway.

Apple does not need to do that because of the BSD license, but I've done that with AGPL3 software before. It was the suggested solution by the original developer of the project, whom we hired

Android's hardware is extremely fractured with the majority of the devices sold being cheap and missing the good features, including hardware security.

Apple's phones are more homogeneous. Certainly a larger percentage of Apple users have a Secure Enclave than Android users do.

The h264 and h265 files are named incorrectly in their example causing confusion.

  <source src="myh264Video.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="hvc1"'>
  <source src="myh265Video.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1"'>

myh264Video.mp4 should be avc1 codec...

Android is a Linux kernel written in C, so it's memory unsafe there. The apps are in a Java-derivative, so they're memory safe. Chrome browser is not written in this language, so it's memory unsafe.

iOS is a Mach+XNU kernel written in C, so it's memory unsafe there. The apps are in Swift, so they're memory safe. Safari/Webkit is not written in this language, so it's memory unsafe.

The only real difference in security here is that Apple has had better sandboxing and security (hardware) implementations.

They come with NFC credit cards

Yes, and even more damning is the language used by DARE:

> D.A.R.E. America's Commitment to Prevention In its 35 year history, D.A.R.E. America has constantly improved its science and evidence based education programs to provide students with the knowledge and tools they need to resist drugs, alcohol, and other high risk behaviors.

Alcohol gets classified as separate from drugs. Wouldn't want kids telling their parents to not do drugs, right? And if their parents drink, that would just signal drugs are OK... etc etc

Why are people relying on the phone key as the only key for their car? What happens if you break your phone? Now you can't drive home?

Stupid. Always carry the real key with you.

No, by the late 90s BSD had dominated the hosting world because the TCP/IP stack allowed better scaling on the same hardware. Tons of ISPs ran nothing but FreeBSD.

You won't be shipping the entirety of BEAM. That's the point of this announcement and what makes this so exciting and plausible.

Countdown until the "nudes are free speech" defense

Speed reading doesn't really exist; it's just skimming. Even the fastest reader in the world will admit they lose details and don't enjoy it as much. You might be interested in checking this video out.

The iMessage lock-in thing is dead and over with. This is no longer an issue. Please stop parroting it

MIPS is open now

Make something faster, get rich :-)

Meanwhile we all keep ignoring that the booze industry has worked tirelessly to make sure we use the phrase "drugs and alcohol" so alcohol isn't recognized as a drug by most of the population

They get to source the parts at cost. I don't think that's illegal really. It's kind of like AppleCare, right?

I think both

I swear this was part of Hillary's platform. I remember a big news article about it.

I imagine having the insurance under Tesla umbrella could make repairs cheaper in certain scenarios
