<p>Git is famously not built around a (reusable) library, hence why we have things like libgit2 (unrelated to git) and why any porcelain on top of git has to resort to calling the binary and parsing its text output.</p>

<p>> Nginx serves ~20% of the web, memory unsafe languages might just become untractable for critical exposed to the web infra if the rate of critical CVE's on these rises faster than they can be patched<p>That is true, however did you actually do any research into nginx? Is it particularly prone to memory bugs?<p>I honestly don't know the answer but you seem to be coming from a place of C bad, therefore nginx super vulnerable?<p>In my experience with other web servers the vast majority of security bugs are string handling related (path/header injection), which your rewrite will not protect you from.</p>

<p>> the experience with proprietary versus open source over the past 30 years had driven home the point that closed ecosystems are almost always far worse for security.<p>Has it? Can you prove it? I've been using computers for almost 40 years. I've seen foss-enthusiasts repeat that claim ad-nauseam, without proof. All they ave is the vague, hand-wavy, "millions of people read the code!!11".<p>I use both proprietary and foss software. I <i>write</i> both proprietary and foss software. I have not noticed a meaningful difference in security.</p>

<p>I find it interesting that only a few days ago you were arguing that oil is very important because EVs are too expensive and nobody can afford them.<p>So is America rich or poor? Because Europeans, that you claim to be dirt poor, can afford EVs just fine?</p>

<p>Ubuntu's rsync is samba rsync. It's not part of the samba project per se, but it is made by the same guy and the official url is <a href="https://rsync.samba.org/" rel="nofollow">https://rsync.samba.org/</a> so it's entirely fair to call it samba rsync in my opinion.</p>

<p>> by the time this laptop needs to be upgraded, i'll just buy a new one anyways since the new parts probably won't work in the old machine.<p>It's only been 5 years since their first laptop, but yes they sold motherboards for 5 different CPU generations that all fit in the same chassis. They've also released a Pro chassis that uses the same parts as well.<p>Whether most people want to keep the old beat up chassis/keyboard/trackpad/battery when they're ready to upgrade is another question.<p>But they have lived to their promises, despite your claim that they wouldn't.</p>

<p>We have the same problem in the rest of tech, though? Being unable to get into a AAA studio is as unfair as being unable to get into FAANG.<p>This just brings game development in line with other code monkeys. Top studios will pay top dollars, Indie studios will pay what they can, often almost nothing.<p>And I see nothing wrong with that, do you?</p>

<p>> So there's zero incentive to give away SW, that's costly to develop, for free.<p>The cost of the software required to develop or operate the hardware should be included in the cost of the hardware. I say this as someone who's been into embedded development for 20 years. It's simply a part of the cost to make the hardware.<p>Support should be an additional paid service, that every single of my former employer would have paid. But the toolchain itself, as-is with no warranty, should be free.</p>

<p>We are very well past the point where technology <i>could</i> allow post-scarcity.<p>Post-scarcity is no longer technological problem, it's a political one. But it's still very much a problem, so no, we are not anywhere near post-scarcity.<p>I also don't understand the point you're making about people wanting to spend $15 on netflix or $12 on a coffee. Would everybody cutting netflix and lattes allow us to live in that utopia more quickly?</p>

<p>There is still a risk of supply-chain attack. People give LLMs direct access to their entire infrastructure via tools, and never check the code produced. It's not difficult to steer an LLM during training so that they'd output malware only when prompted a certain way, and that wouldn't come up during the initial evaluation.<p>Personally I see no difference between China and America in terms of risks of them embedding "backdoors" so to speak, but I disagree when people claim that open-weight models are <i>obviously</i> safe just because they can be ran locally.</p>

<p>> Wish Apple and Google would buy from that supplier.<p>Apple and Google could do something about it if they wanted, even without changing supplier. They clearly don't think it's worth it. That's not surprising coming from Google but I admit I am surprised that Apple has no driver option to reduce flicker.<p>Most Chinese phone makers nowadays offer settings to reduce OLED flicker greatly, usually at the cost of color accuracy and/or a locked framerate.</p>
