Software developer with a decade of experience focused on systems programming across multiple domains including userspace daemons, kernel extensions/drivers, and coprocessor firmware. Very interested in operating systems and other low-level work. I've worked with Windows, Linux, and macOS/iOS across these domains. I'm primarily interested in full-time engineering roles, open to relocation as well as remote/hybrid work.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. I'm mainly pointing out that the UI toggles being counterintuitive doesn't change the semantics -- blocking all incoming connections blocks built-in and signed software from receiving connections too.

It's pretty easy to go online and understand what the "FTPPassive" key is (and why it's enabled by default). The firewall settings thing is a UI bug, if that. Those other toggles don't take effect when blocking all incoming connections is active. As such, it doesn't matter what the value for the other toggles is, so it resets them to the default (true). Perhaps a sharp point if you toggle firewall often, but not an outright security issue. My laptop has that systemuiserver preference setting there as well.
I think this person is a bit paranoid and reading a bit too much into things judging from their timeline.

The author's whole schtick is purposefully rage-baiting Rust devs, so really not that shocking that he downplays the compile-time trade-off

I mean... Yeah, it's a curated set of dotfiles that one guy spent a while tuning to his liking.
I don't use it, but I figure it's just a matter of most people being too lazy to polish up their own equivalent, so they'll use someone else's.

The problem is there are many middleboxes that monitor port 443 and will drop any traffic that they can't decode as TLS (which in this case means TLS 1.2 or below). The choice was between masking traffic as an earlier version of TLS or forcing the replacement of all of those middleboxes. It's a no-brainer.

I don't know, I don't think it's really a huge waste of time considering I just read the entire comment thread in a handful of minutes. And beyond that, failing to comply with RFC requirements is the bug here -- a workaround existing for a specific language isn't a fix.

The ruling itself even says that every case has to be taken in context, and that particular one was a known felon who has been accused of a crime fleeing in a vehicle. As a matter of fact, if you look at the decision [1] you won't find the word "defense" once, only "fleeing".

> Electric cars are supposed to be simple. Give me something in a shape of a Civic, with the engine replaced with a motor and a battery good for 150 miles, and sell it for $10-12k new. Don't even need an entertainment cluster, give me a place to put a tablet or a phone and just have a bluetooth speaker.
I think this is more or less the pitch behind Slate (https://www.slate.auto/en), though it's more of a truck/SUV form factor.

Worth mentioning this isn't a port of the entire system, more a reimplementation that lacks MANY features of the real System 7

I'm still bitter that they never refunded me for my canceled pre-order, despite promising to at the time. It's been years and I never got any money back (or a phone, for that matter). I consider Purism to be an untrustworthy business as a result.

I've actually heard people argue against having lights on signage for this exact reason: people shouldn't be reliant on lights that may or may not work to modulate their behavior when driving. They had been referring mainly to pedestrian crossing signs, but I think it applies here too. I generally treat any school speed limit sign as in effect if it's before nightfall as a rule of thumb.
