It’s at least misleading 😛

But I have to agree that for any non-math people this would convey the right idea, whereas “quadratic improvement” would probably not mean anything 🤷

Worst bugs usually hide in the most trivial causes 😭

TBH I’m not sure wider adoption would worsen things ? Gaming distros would probably ship bullshit anticheat modules by default while the others would not, or at most provide some documentation on how to opt in.

I think it’s quite similar to the situation with NVIDIA proprietary drivers? (I don’t own a graphics card so I’m not super aware on this topic)

That’s exactly the solution from the article 👌

In the curl git repository most files and most content are plain old ASCII so we can “easily” whitelist a small set of UTF-8 sequences and some specific files, the rest of the files are simply not allowed to use UTF-8 at all as they will then fail the CI job and turn up red.

I think it’s worse at conveying the intention and should be a compile-time simplification (I’m too lazy to check if compilers would do it though).

I opened the topic while knowing there will be a ton of super enthusiastic and well-constructed answers. I’m not disappointed 🍿

I don’t think France tried to break E2E yet? Some political groups repeatedly submit law projects through the democratic process, but as long as it doesn’t pass I think the best we can say is that France is against.

C’mon, it’s 2025!

According to Wikipedia pages 14, 18, 1488, 8814 are also common Nazi’s symbols. I personally feel the birthday explanation more likely as I see a lot of people doing that (without the nerdy base 2).

But yeah, I’m not sure of anything now, if you told me a few years ago that dozens of billionaires would go full on highlander on 2025 I wouldn’t have believed you…
