Is it just me being old-fashioned? Or is this a common opinion these days?
So I was listening to an episode of Open Source Security Podcast. This is not a bad podcast, but sometimes I'm wondering what they are thinking.
So despite the name of the show, they went on and on about how terrible Linux is, and how Windows has caught up, etc, etc.
In another episode they were talking about how security issues are solved by rewriting things in Rust (I'm pretty sure the hosts are not programmers).
I'm confused. These people are supposed to be professionals but I hear far too much regurgitated nonsense.
@loke They are probably just rehashing opinions taken out of context. I think Rust is popular because it's harder to make exploitable mistakes compared to C, but the distribution (cargo, etc.) is a huge compromise by design, you rely on existing code leaving it wide open to supply chain attacks. Similar to the problems with 'pip' when using Python and 'npm' for Javascript.
@loke Self-service salad. ;)

" Impact
With these vulnerabilities, it is possible to ship pirated games on bluray discs. That is possible even without a kernel exploit as we have JIT capabilities."

@loke OK, I don';t mind using regexp, but know from experience some programmers dislike it, especially when used on XML (HTML).
@loke Does this fall under the 'vi' vs 'emacs' category? As in not knowing because you are firmly in a certain "camp". Anyway, in general I think learning is fun, so agree with your post.

I haven't been to east coast in a while. I passed by because I had to go to a bike shop here.
Just look at the number of cargo ships.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is widely considered to be the richest country in the world regarding natural resources; its untapped deposits of raw minerals are estimated to be worth in excess of U.S. $24 trillion.
If there is peaceful Congo, Kagame will not be able to smuggle minerals to Hongkong, other multinational companies will not be able to mine minerals illegally which is cheap way because of children labours. Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, China are directly contributing to insecurities in Eastern Congo.
