tetnis··on Amid cuts to basic research, New Zealand scraps all support for social sciences
Yes the social sciences are where the critical thinkers are. They think so critically that you can't reproduce their work.

tetnis··on Sitters and Standers
people really believe this hyperbole. i hear it almost everyday working in tech.

many blue drones can't recognize their droneness, but will happily make fun of red drones.

tetnis··on History of rat control in Alberta
Yes, Florida was unaware that other places dealt with pests effectively.
tetnis··on UK lawmakers vote in support of assisted dying
the expected cost savings only increases as the age for assisted dying decreases

in the limit, health care is abortion and euthanasia only.

we all know that abortion prevents suffering of the mother and the child who will never experience it.

euthanasia fixes the mistake of not aborting.

we cannot suffer if we just dont live.

tetnis··on UK lawmakers vote in support of assisted dying
bravo for trying. its bizarre to me that we are at a point in time that someone could even imagine that suicide, esp assisted, would be permissible in Christianity.

the protestant view dominates "public Christianity". even Catholics will happily tell you that "yeah we believe in this, but I certainly dont" in regards to things like abortion. they just ignore the leap in logic because it's "permissible" by some protestants.

for many, Christianity is simply "turn the other cheek" on steroids, wrongfully interpreted as "mind my own business" and "only believe in the parts I want to".

tetnis··on Drinking water systems for 26M Americans face high cybersecurity risks
the math people work towards the same goal. why single them out
tetnis··on Feds: Critical Software Must Drop C/C++ by 2026 or Face Risk
Ok, I didn't really define logic bugs. I think of things like race conditions as memory bugs because its improper access to the same variable.

So I suppose All Bugs Are Logic Bugs.

But I really meant that many software software vuln aren't even that fancy. Sure if you have something like an iPhone which has whole companies trying to hack it, then eventually the bugs you have left are fancy heap overflows. But lots of products have logic errors, like mischecking creds etc.

I will also pick on CISA for recommending a language that requires something like cargo. Why is it a good idea for critical infrastructure to require internet access to compile its code? CISA is supposed to be concerned about the fact that critical infra. is privately held and they should encourage secure practices. So suggest a language that in practice requires internet access? this is absurd to me.

tetnis··on Feds: Critical Software Must Drop C/C++ by 2026 or Face Risk
People can downvote all they want. But CISA needs a talking point, and "Rust solves it" is one they won't ever let go. Go talk to those freaks and remember I told you so.
tetnis··on Feds: Critical Software Must Drop C/C++ by 2026 or Face Risk
CISA is stupid. Logic bugs don't go away with Rust.
