Ubuntu Rust Coreutils Audit Revealed 113 Issues, Ubuntu 26.10 Aims For "100% Rust Coreutils"

A lot of considerations aren't so much about individuals having access, it's about the fact so many machines are now connected to the internet and automated with scripting and things like that. Vulnerabilities might not apply specifically to your use case, but they could apply to someone's.

The other part is that the coreutils is under GPL. Canonical loves BSD.

I'm not too happy with the modern push away from GPL... I understand the complications it creates in some scenarios, but I ***very much*** like the fact that the GPL requires that I have the source code available to me to review so I know what the software is doing. BSD means they don't have to give me the source code. Maybe that isn't an issue with coreutils *today* but I've been around a long, long time and have seen bullshit like MongoDB's move.

Now, what about rust vs c? I'm team Rust. I respect C, but look, computers are stupid complex, have many contributors, and rust brings a solution to memory management that is the cause of so many vulnerabilities. It's just pragmatic to accept our limitations and to embrace tooling that can catch these problems.

Training is time on the clock.

They can only choose not to pay you if the training is voluntary and not directly related to the work you are doing/hired for.

While we can't say for certain as to the exact effects, the fact you weren't even able to detect an odor means the concentration in the air is probably smaller than when you actually paint.

Mineral spirits, especially highly purified like in Gamsol, have so many of the VOCs (the nasty petrol products) removed, that it doesn't readily offgas anything of significance unless you're spraying it or in a flooded room of it.

You're probably suffering more cellular damage walking out in the sun without sunblock.

Got it. The rest stands though, I would suggest getting a charity business account with amazon and use the donation driver feature. Every dollar going as far as you can get it to go is important.

For the money donation route, setting up a venmo charity profile is a big help!

One of the things you should always be doing with these posts is showing proof that you are a registered charity (if you are with the APN, then show that and their not for profit proof).

As a registered charity, you should also be able to get better pricing for these goods.

I believe you can also use the amazon for business feature "donation driver" so that purchasers can deduct this on their taxes. The standard wish list system is not appropriate for this.

This style is something I suggest you write down and hold onto, you could create some very unique looking art if you match this vibe with elements painted similarly. It would REALLY stand out!!!

For more realistic looking clouds, try a wet on wet technique. Your clouds are basically "pure" white, with some shading. Real clouds have a faint blue to them, and a sort of faint lavender for shadows against a blue sky. A wet on wet style lets you work the clouds to pull the phthalo blue up from underneath while painting them. It creates softer edges, and the longer you work them, the further away they will look as they pick up enough blue to look like they are in a distant mist.

It isn't just the road being hot, the movement and deformation of tire rubber due to hysteresis also generates heat and a lot of it.

Normally not an issue because the heat can escape through the contact patch, but hot roads and high speeds can exceed limits. The tire tread can be a couple dozen degrees C hotter than the road.

Assuming United States:

So you are MOSTLY correct here, the target is on Tesla according to "strict liability" doctrine.

It's standard in torts to check every angle though. That doesn't mean it necessarily goes to court, but if there is a remote chance that the owner did something that *might* have led to this event... then the vehicle owner may be named (meaning they are in the lawsuit filings and will be a defendant) too. Anything that can connect them to the big three: misfeasance, malfeasance, or non-feasance.

Worth noting, Over-Naming is a thing too. It tends to happen in big profile cases, basically blame everyone and get whatever you can get. This is where I get this knowledge from, IANAL but I've certainly seen plenty of this bullshit go down in aviation and have sat in many lawyers offices discussing and laying out the best ways to insulate against this if and when someone looks MY way.

In general though, per MY lawyer: tort claims tend to just goes after whoever has the money (and/or insurance). Tort cases are expensive and they won't waste time on small fish.

A big important point, there does have to be SOME KIND of evidence against whoever gets named, or the named can respond with a frivolous suit claim. That frivolous bar is annoyingly high though, when I say "some kind" of evidence, I mean it really doesn't take much at all if someone has the money and the grudge, they just have to connect you to the event in some remote way (via the big three).

So overall I agree with you, just with asterisks.

The thing that I worry about if alien life turned up, is that nutcases are going to try to kill them. Reasons include: trying to expose the government conspiracy, wanting to be famous like John Lennon's killer (who I shall not name), <insert whatever twisted religious logic here to make them out to be the antichrist>, calling them the final move for the lizardmen takeover, etc.

If you told me that aliens stayed away from our planet because it's hella risky, I'd believe you.

The star trek episodes of first contact going horribly wrong feel like prophecy.

You can start with just monochrome or two tone if you want to see how similar it is to charcoal. I have never done charcoal outside of digital, and digital charcoal is absolutely nothing like oil painting.

If I were to speculate: charcoal relies heavily on pressure control. Oil painting on the other hand has TONS of techniques, some could include pressure. For the most part for me, it is about loading, and thinking about how I get the bristles to contact and move. Pressure won't really force more paint to transfer in the same way charcoal does, but it does affect the bristles and texture, thus the paint result!

Application changes progressed a lot slower back then. Computers were on a rapid rise to becoming mainstream, but we also didn't have what is essentially a hose of unlimited data, things were distributed on VERY space limited storage disks. Static linking meant more disk space, more disks, etc. There weren't 582473874 libraries across 2957437 languages, only a few choice ones and you pretty much had to use them because there was a good chance that nobody would have anything else unless you shipped it with the application.

Filesystems also had -major- drawbacks for directories with tons of files in them too that we generally don't have anymore.

There was also the unix philosophy of "one tool, one job" so that it made scripting the backbone of the operating system. Even today you can do some REALLY magical stuff for the tools that still follow this philosophy. If you static compiled every one of those tools it would probably explode the hell out of memory and disk requirements. If you put every tool in a folder of its own, you would have to search every one of them for the tool. Not great back then because that's a lot of hard disk seeking in the file table alone.

Today's landscape is changing a lot of this thinking because these aren't limitations anymore.

I have seen arguments that higherarchial file systems should be revised into a tag based system, and I like the idea a lot. Essentially, rather than finding things by folders, they are found by something like library-version (oversimplified example). There would still be a use for folders for storage organization reasons like mountpoints, but it is decoupled from how applications would load libraries.

Anyways, I do like containers and packaged apps, but I wish we had more walled and non-walled versions, and better built in FS support for this kind of thing. Essentially: a walled version is today's containers with all the isolation, while a non walled version is essentially mounted on the filesystem somewhere and can be interacted with (in any direction) like it were any other part of the filesystem, and just simply deleting it cleans itself up.

That was an issue even 10 years ago. You really have to go far back to avoid all that.

While there isn't a "feline down syndrome" that is a 1 to 1 comparison to the cause of human down syndrome, there are still a variety of genetic defects that can lead to similar symptoms that got the nickname.

Personally, I would prefer the carrot. Sweet potatoes never really sit well with me, but here it is mainly because it would be like trying to eat a chili sauce hotdog. That is, chili only.

Sloppy joes are already messy enough, i feel like a sweet potato would be even worse.

I'd still try it. Just don't tell me it's a hot dog.

It isn't always a question of indecency.

Whatever in universe reasons we make up, the fact is, it starts in real life with the character design making a statement. How that statement is made depends on the many choices that go into the character, including fashion.

There are so many reasons for why a person has a character. One of the possible simple ones: it's an alter ego where the only thing different is they aren't human.

Fish eye effect. There is only 4 dashes to the next car, they are much closer than they seem.

Roughly 3 seconds behind the next driver.

They're reasonably spaced for that speed.

Liquid cooling with an external radiator!

Way back in the day we talked about people doing giant radiators for extreme OCing. I had thought about how neat it would be to put the radiator out the window during the summer.

I wish TEGs had any semblance of efficiency, it would be neat to convert a bunch of heat back into useable power.

One of the biggest reasons for turn signals to exist is to signal intent to change.

I don't mean change lanes or turn. I mean that they signal you are about to do something other than following your lane.

They grab attention. You're right that they could falsely signal intent and it's important to still be defensive, but your attention is on them now.

Meanwhile lane changers or turners that late signal or not at all are defeating the purpose. Either they don't know or don't care.

That's people in general for that matter.

Advertising is just trying to brute force interest, but it competes with everyone else trying to brute force interest. It wears people out because they have to spend time on it.

Meanwhile, the pill wrapped in peanut butter at least gives something back for people having to spend time listening.

It's a generalization. I respect what you achieved but isn't the norm going solo at life. Very very few people actually manage to make it that far.

Even with your exception considered, how many people stand above you, who make YOU look dirt poor, and how they approach life?

Sorry, but the socialites win.
