Is it really that surprising that in a world where we are redefining the meaning of user, that our user based file system security controls will have to change?

Are we really re-discovering that compressed binary formats are more efficient data representations?

MCAS is pretty well defined and is associated with it.

Sounds like he’s just asking for an old school Inman style transaction log.

My recollection of XUL was that it was great when it worked, but horrific to debug.

It wasn’t also easy to make a living fixing bad VB apps (or going back to Delphi).

I’m not saying that components are a bad idea, but the 90s implementations didn’t quite realize the dream.

About 10ish years ago, I ended up finding a deadlock in the Linux raid driver when turning on Oracle’s async writes with raid10 on lvm on AWS. I traced it to the ring buffers the author mentioned, but ended up having to remove lvm (since it wasn’t that necessary on this infrastructure) to get the throughput I needed.

myasthenia gravis patients already get chemo therapy to destroy their immune cells as part of the infusion protocols. That is a treatment and is not curative. If CAR-T works on MG, then it’s not the chemo that’s doing it.

Glad you mentioned ext.js. It was one of the early frameworks that tried to create a complete, all js, gui component model.

Nobody talking about the DHTML days when we were all writing our own “JavaScript” components?

You can already side load.

You can load adhoc distribution apps through itunes onto your phone. Or, you can download Xcode build and run apps onto your phone. You just can’t distribute the app in binary form to a large group.

Seems like this is about alternate app stores, not side loading.

Will all government agencies be required to comply? I would think that would be an issue.

Sounds a lot more like WebAssembly is the new JavaVM. WORA, security, portability, edge, etc.

Can they at least add a liability provision allowing disaffected drivers to sue for malfunction? Maybe that would balance the scales.

Because until relatively recently, storage was the most expensive architectural component and relational databases optimized for storage.
