"Could" is not the same as "always" which is what the article title is claiming.

This finally got me to replace (preorder) my Oasis with a new Kindle. The physical buttons are a must for me.

> they change relatively frequently

Aren't they static for the life of the sensor which is ~10 years?

Article title is a bit click-baity. The article is only talking about Docker Desktop on Mac or Windows. Docker Linux have not been using microVMs for a decade.

As AI reduces the cost for writing closer to the metal, it's also reducing the cost for creating new metal to target. I suspect we'll see an explosion in new hardware as it's cheaper and easier to design custom solutions.

I don't disagree with you, however the original claim of

> provably storing peoples' online banking logins in plaintext in some ancient mainframe database system

Is not about functional encryption but storing directly as plain text.

their point is it could have been stored encrypted and then decrypted for the customer service person to read back to you. Access to plain text != storing it as plain text.

Which models are you finding the most success with?

there's nothing wrong with it, just more work then I'd like. I'd have to setup a CI system or build my own to handle the dependency management of the jobs and, as I said, time based job runs (Rebuild this image monthly regardless of any code changes) add enough complexity that using the gitea container for the actions and ci is worth it compared to something marginally lighter weight.

30 year old me looks back at 20 year old me and wishes he had known better. 40 year old me looks back at 30 year old me and wishes he had known better. 50 year old me looks back at 40 year old me and wishes he had known better. 60 year old me looks back at 50 year old me and wishes he had known better.

I believe generally most people do grow and mature over time. Sometimes it's not that obvious externally or even internally without reflection, but it's a natural part of aging IMHO.

Actions support running on times. Sure, I could wire up a Rube Goldberg of systemd user timers and user units that trigger on hooks or I can store some yaml in the repo and it just works (tm)(r).

Sometimes the juice isn't worth the squeeze, and for me, doing it all custom isn't worth it for my home projects.

I don't really need the web interface, but the actions are useful. Automatically building updated docker images and software packages is enough to accept the gitea complications, but gitlab is way too heavy IMHO

There's been a ton of news stories of people claiming otherwise.

The US had the raw materials available in country to support that sort of build out and I don't think that's the case today. It would take kickstarting a lot of prerequisite industries to get back to the point where we could even start to learn how to build ships enmass again.

I loved stars! and really wish that it gets reimagined for the modern age. Stellaris gets way too micro-managing to be fun IMHO.

Would add a new fun dimension to Jurassic Park.

"Quick! Climb to 300 meters above sea level and the trex will boil and we will be safe!"

Is it that difficult to design toxic molecules? I would think it's easy to "design" but extremely difficult to actually make in your kitchen. And if you have a biological laboratory, you already have the skills to make whatever you want anyway.

You render lower quality and scale the images up to native resolution, with filters to reduce any jagged artifacts. It's not ideal, and so even running at the "same" resolution, the 2d monitor looks better then it does in the headset.

But the immersion is enough that you forget about it and just enjoy the content, as long as it's comfortable enough

I would guess Trusted Computing Base

Let's say this is widely used and let's presume that a specific version has a security issue. With everyone having their own copy of the binary on every host versioned at the time they first ran a command on that host, or any decently sized fleet, it'll take a big effort to track down and ensure all versions have been updated or removed (to be re-generated later).

Frankly, we would re-kick our fleet ahead of schedule rather then try to remediate it more manually. But we re-kick our fleet on a rotating yearly schedule, so it's not too much an effort to re-kick it earlier. It's a completely automated system in place now.

Honestly, that's even scarier for an untrusted/low trusted tool...

rsync already supports this via OpenSSH's ControlMaster directive. Bonus, it speeds up every connection to that server rather then a single tool's.

> the ability to do direct remote-remote transfers without forwarding your ssh agent (by using restricted ssh keys on the receiver that will only execute a specific request signed with the key on your laptop).

You can control your agent forwarding in your local ssh client configuration. And with modern ProxyJump, you don't need to forward your agent at all regardless of how many bastion hops are between you and your final target.

The red glove he famously wears as a remarkably effective disguise — one that somehow seems to fool Wallace every time — is made of silicone.

Frankly at this point, everything that is not explicitly fully public should be...

I'm pretty sure that they are loading before the gates open. If my memory isn't entirely gone, I recall watching them load luggage while waiting at the gate for the cleaners to finish.

I've never heard of this happening, and I'm skeptical. I fly a decent amount and my luggage gets misplaced likely in the low percents (more than 1%, less than 5%). I struggle to believe they'll be aware enough to unload a full cargo compartment.

But I could be wrong. Maybe it's just rare enough that I haven't run into it. I would expect it would delay the flight by a noticeable amount. And it would be fairly obvious that they're unloading luggage and then reloading it. It's not like they can just send someone in to climb around and find it. They pack them in tight.

It's obnoxious enough to go through security and meet someone at their gate that for major airports, it was only done for picking up kids or old folks. It's not going to move the needle on how crowded it feels.

for smaller airports, it won't matter, my local airport has four gates, the terminal is maybe 300 feet end to end, so everyone currently waits outside of security, but it's like 10-20 folks. the few that make it to the gate won't matter at all.

Isn't that the case today? They're loading the baggage while people board and they don't hold the bag until you get your ticket scanned in.
