Yes good, and now because their value is appreciated they can be paid what they will be paid in the private sector, perhaps ~180k/y instead of 60k/y. So if you fire 2/3 of the workforce and pay those that remain what they are "worth", you have saved exactly what ?

You have clearly never worked in any sizeable workforce, and I can assure you your basic presumption that large private sector workforces does not have broken processes is childishly naive. The "problem" is you, making assumptions of waste where there is none to speak off, unless you can provide some actual data to back that up. The average federal employee earns about $60k/y, they are not there for the money. Firing all federal employees will same about 7h of borrowing.

I'm sorry but the narrative you have invested in so deeply is not founded in reality, not that I expect anyone explaining facts to you will make any appreciable difference.

Enjoy the pain you elected to bring upon yourself, you deserve the government you got.

Rust is many things, "rapid development" is not one of those things.

'app sandboxing' is one part, of a small part, of a subsection of a general thread model, why would you pick that when you talk about 'secure'? And LOL no, Linux has SELinux, apparmor, firejail, flatpak, snap, docker, lxc, and various hypervisors for 'app sandboxing', Linux does not have 'basically none', it has arguably to many.

They did decide. They decided they did not need one. Please respect the decision.

I flagged it because your silly clickbait title is a misinterpretation of both the contents of the article and narrates a enormous jump to a ridiculous conclusion. Its fake tiktok gosh-wow horseshit and does not belong on hacker news.

No, popular Linux distros, with default configuration, is considerably more secure than Windows, and probably more secure than MacOS. This is universally accepted and basic infosec ken. You thought very wrong, fix your ken.

No what is striking is that you don't understand what a "backdoor" is. The article does not describe what everybody agrees a "backdoor" is.

The point is, as you pointed out, that you code against the appropriate level of abstraction. You write a ML workflow appropriate language like Python in something like C++/rust, and ML flows in Python. That should really not be that hard to understand.

I absolutely have to 'like' it because I have to do it. Scrum masters and Product Owners love to inflict Agile bullshit, but they do not suffer from it. They have little understanding of the process of software development and imagine themselves to be capable of 'adding value'. Agile is a failed experiment kept alive by people who have no skill other than working the work.

Pretty disheartening to see the downvotes in a forum like hn which are supposed to be informed about these things. If people that are supposed to be able to critically assess data and have access to as much information they need to verify any claims come to the conclusion that you are full of shit, what hope is there to educate grandpa screaming at the wokes on the street.
