And Apple is also pushing its own omnipresent AI.

Honestly it wouldn’t even be that hard to release full translated versions of existing programming languages. Like Python in Punjabi or Kotlin in Chinese or something (both of which already support unicode variable/class/function names). Just have a lookup table to redefine each keyword and standard library name to one in that language, it can literally just be an additional translation layer above the compiler/interpreter that converts the code to the original English version.

It’s honestly really surprising that non-English speakers have developed entirely new programming languages in their own language (unfortunately none of which are getting very widespread use even among speakers of that language), but the practice of simply translating a widely used and industry standard English programming language doesn’t seem to be much of a thing.

If I ever make my own programming language, I’m probably going to bake multi-language support into the compiler. Just supply it with a lookup table of translated terms and the code in that language.

Because it supports Unicode as variable/class/function names and Unicode includes all the characters humans have ever used, even dead languages (I assume for historians to digitize ancient texts?)

Can’t wait to have Google’s telemetry injected into my Linux apps

It’s almost like the publish or parish model puts an unnecessary burden on researchers and contributes to the ongoing problem of low quality or even outright incorrect research as researchers try to manipulate results to make them publishable.

It’s something that literally every dev has done at some point before they knew better.

If you’re working for a multinational tech company handling sensitive user data and still make this mistake, then you are being malicious in your incompetence. This is something that would cause you to lose a significant amount of marks on a first year college programming project, let alone a production system used by literally billions of people.

that logged unencrypted password data

Why the fuck would you need to log a password ever? This is absolutely malice and not incompetence.

Hanlon’s Razor revised: Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence, except where there is an established pattern of malice.

Does anyone remember an article/interview a while back where Mark Fuckerberg shamelessly admitted that he chose not to hash passwords in the original Facebook codebase specifically because he wanted to be able to log into his users’ other accounts that use the same password? I swear I remember reading something like this but now I can’t find it.

There’s a reason the French beheaded the clergy alongside the nobility.

Same reason Siemens, Volkswagen, Bayer, and many more, including a ton of American ones were onboard with the Holocaust.

Genocide is good for business.

Mostly cerebal spinal fluid.

Anything that was designed be exploited was designed that way for a reason. You think Intel isn’t aware of the security issues with how they designed their CPUs?

The gyroscope can record your speech: https://crypto.stanford.edu/gyrophone/files/gyromic.pdf

And no OS requires permissions for apps to access your motion sensors.

The kid who jury rigged their gameboy to a power adapter is probably an electrical engineer by now.

NiMH is perfect for an application like this, where the power draw is high but you don’t need the batteries to retain charge while in standby for that long, so the high self-discharge rate is irrelevant.

If you’re not allowed to modify it, it’s not open source.

I genuinely believe that the Mozilla board is secretly working for Google. They already get most of their funding from that search engine deal, is a backroom agreement to slowly run the organization into the ground in order to force the last holdouts over to Chrome that hard to believe?

Easy solution: Switch to table UUIDs.

No, because humans are hardwired to be diurnal and there is very little we can do to change that. We have a prominant window of circadian low, and it’s one of the biggest threats to pilots that fly at night (among other safety critical jobs) even if they have slept for 8+ hours right before their shift.

You might think you can function just fine at night, you might even think you function better at night, but science says otherwise.
