I think so, you'll have to translate their AST/IL to freepascal.

Market manipulation or slowing down demand for chips for a bit/moving the offer elsewhere temporarily?

Then they start to use their "well-earned" money to bend the world to their worldview, but "it's their right!". Of the people you bring up, i've been affected just by Musk (his endeavours are a net contributor for global warming), I'm still suspecting you should get fucked with your freely expressed opinion.

Hi Alexander, cool! Will return to dabble with it.

It has its share of vulnerabilities but flaws in core are rarer, more (a lot more) (i swear to god a LLM would be better) in the modules ecosystem. Also like most CMSes they are still vulnerable to what i call the "webapp bug" (you install this blob on a hosting that should not be aware of what you dump on there and allows you to run a php file on any subdir, while with a CMS, whatever you use, only a very limited number of files should be allowed to be reached, executed or even included in any php call).

Ahahah I remember to have patched themes for clients by hand, years ago. A different time, where a core team would for whatever reason leave security holes around to be sure you need three frameworks around their pile of dung code.

pearcmd and register_argc_argv are just examples. get_page_template was unsanitized in some themes, that's the flaw, you could then combine it with one of a million unauthorized file upload in wordpress plugins to try and eval code. An attacker would like to use upload + this chain of requires (instead of just uploading a php) because of hardened configuration and the pwn can go unnoticed in the logs.

Also, with pearcmd (if you can get to that, there's no open_basedir) and containers a novice sysadmin will publish insecure sites.

How are things going with V btw? In the past i've seen some bad press about this programming language.

It was nice to use when I tried to dabble with it.

That's such an outlandish idea! What made you suspect this? (sarcasm)

Meta should just close. It's like wanting to change CEO for the dioxin factory.

I'm a gentleman and beyond that it's merely more likely (we are on HN and it's a newish user) that it is a bot, compared to their being a "meta shill" or a "monomaniac". You can skim their comments history for more information.

If I recall correctly, the site you browse in hypotetical Xanadu-land has to mirror the reference (for transclusions) and get downloaded back (for two-ways links). Payments and that levy system are there because without some freedom to copy content you get dead links with extra steps.

> it seems fairly clear that A/I was providing services to organizations listed as Terrorist Organizations by the US, UK, and Canada.

It isn't fairly clear, there's no due process, there are no proofs or clues, only Trump's and Shideler's word on that.
