The original submission to/. linked to http://qntra.net/2015/01/another-big-silk-road-2-0-arrest-full-complaint/ which actually included the complaint text. I don't see how a local San Antonio news outlet is even the slightest bit local to a Washinton State man being arrested in... Washinton State.
And then instead of running an Operating Sytem development project you get stuck running a school. There's no shortage of other Open Source projects which go out of their way to cater to people learning.
The OpenBSD approach by contrast is simply offering what they are and new comers can take it or leave it.
Also whose place is it to really say that it isn't a kindness to let people know that something might not be for them?
I'm really not so sure. If he was nicer he might be over run will well interntioned people who want to attach to his project, but don't actually have the focus or ability to contibute in a positive way according the vision of Theo and the rest of the team.
Also very important is that contrary to all of the lovey dovey lets get along on the Internet propaganda being spread around now, his "being an asshole" by insisting things be done right is being revealed to be incredibly valuable. While pro and anti systemd camps debate trolling Theo and the OpenBSD team are doing the important work of making existing tools better.
Already jsut cleaning up the OpenSSL codebase to birth LibreSSL has resulted in code that in its few months of life has avoided some new security advisories the parent OpenSSL is vulnerable to.
Theo's accomplishments are not limited to merely making an SSL implementation that is less of a turd. It is that he managed to grow a community of capable programmers that can and does make essential utilities less shitty.
This too. It's just... this fills a niche most "working programmers" won't or can't fill. The dude made a thing. It is fun, it is good. I wish more people would give it ago and see what they missed.
TempleOS is actuall a fun thing to play with. It's not replacing anyone's everyday work space, but... sometimes it's fun to turn a modern computing machine into a Commodore64 like environment.
Honestly I'd like to see something like this, replace the RPi as the cheap computer being offered as a learning platform. Let the kids play with the assembler.
The other big disadvantage of gold is if robber shoots you they take your value. Private keys secured well they shoot you and... monetary mass goes down.
Well the way this probably works is they submit patches to be helpful. They encourage work on certain things to distract from things they already know are vulnerable. Bash had that bad behavior at a time when some people may have lobbied for it as a feature. On the other hand you have outright turds like OpenSSL which are developed by people who jsut slap shit in and avoid starvation by consulting for the Feds. The only solution is more people reading old code.
Well the difference is... reading, and reading is nothing if not for rereading. A billion, thousand, or even three eyes mean nothing if they're aimed at cat videos. Instead of reineventing every API to keep it fresh a la the GNOME model, to get actual tools you have to instead make sure what you're already working with... works.
And then there's the matter that a number of people who really benefit from good documentation are developers. Documentation helps describe to your team what these chunks of code are supposed to do and in the long run can help to avoid the problem where "new features" end up poorly replacing popular well used features.
"Yeah; your cholesterol levels are controlled by your liver."
Very much this. I am chubby pack a day smoker while also being sedentary and drinking ~400 ml plus of hard liquor a day. My cholersterol is great though. Ninetieth percentile on LDL's and low HDL and VHDL cholesterol. It is a situation where people don't get to roll their own dice as much as the shills would have them imagine so.
For a while I've just assumed kickstarter and scams went hand in hand. Actual VC funding might go to shitty causes, but with something like this you'd expect a VC could at least ask an engineer acquaintance.
Seems to only work on bacterial that are only inherently resistant to some antibiotics to because they are gram negative, so some bacterial that were hard to kill because they were gram negative get easier. The rest stay hard targets.
The mention of MRSA in the article was probably erroneous and sloppy reporting. Gram Negative bacteria tend to resist chemotherapy due to robust cell walls. Gram Positive bacteria like MRSA, VRSA, VRE, et al... resist drug therapy by other means.
This covers nothing of the most concerning drug resistant bacteria, but merely offers a way to make some bacteria vulnerable to drugs that they were not vulnerable to before.
Not for every distro, but for a few it still is. It's a combination of popularity and infrequency of releases that determines if the update is newsworthy,
With something as big and messy as crufty as OpenSSL, there probably isn't a sane way to approach the problem of decrapifying it that doesn't involve first stripping it down to the minimum.The OpenBSD devs aren't Windows devs, Apple Devs, or Linux Devs. There is no "greater evil" in making something more secure in less time for your own platform when contorting themselves to maintain compatiility keeps junk that slows them in their task to the point they don't every get to the clean secure rewrite.
A large problem in trying to deal with "scientists" and "engineers" as a macro problem is people in those professions aren't very fungible. To be a scientist or and engineer is to have a substantial degree of professional specialization. A micro biologist is not fungible with a zoologist, and even most microbiologists are not fungible with other microbiologist or zoologists fungible with other zoologists.
Sure, but... Continuing a legacy like that is cheaper than launching anything else. It's almost like the Airforce retiring the A-10 and supposing a vaporware F-35 can replace it, the F-35 being both Vaporware and an abortion because someone insisted the bulk of the US's future airplanes must take off and land like helicopters. Seriously, Fund NASA, axe the F-35 and just buy some French Raphaels already.

We might as well in that case nominate radon for causing cancer for people to advocate precautions against.

It's better than Brainfuck by far in that it gives you an opportunity to write for X86-64 as such. What else offers that?

No. No true paranoid would use an OS where everything runs in ring 0.

All it means is he has the balls to troll both online and offline.
