As I've often said - "better" programming languages are mostly irrelevant. What actually matters are better programmers. https://mastodon.social/@tiraniddo@infosec.exchange/111900752433338295

Howard Chu @ Symas (hyc@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 02-Nov-2023 14:23:54 JST Howard Chu @ Symas @clacke NOR has always been used for firmware, because it has faster read speeds than NAND, making it practical to execute code directly from it. Conversely, NAND has faster write speed. So NOR is also used when you don't expect to write often, which again is the firmware use case.

Howard Chu @ Symas (hyc@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 02-Nov-2023 14:19:50 JST Howard Chu @ Symas @mjg59 @klausman That's the stock answer but it's inadequate. You have to know to claim to be a specific version of Windows, otherwise you still get breakage.

Howard Chu @ Symas (hyc@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 02-Nov-2023 14:19:46 JST Howard Chu @ Symas @klausman @mjg59 and there were still plenty of issues where the ACPI expects the OS to be some flavor of Windows, e.g. "if win95 do X elseif win2k do Y" and does nothing on Linux, so some feature just doesn't work. Typically we'd fix these by dumping the DSDT and rewriting it, but nowadays dynamically loadable DSDTs are deprecated even though those types of problems are just as prevalent as ever.

Howard Chu @ Symas (hyc@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 19-Oct-2023 12:21:35 JST Howard Chu @ Symas @teknomunk while pondering that question, can also consider all the attacks against Asian Americans after COVID began.
Both of the above statements are true simultaneously. No one I know was responsible for the pandemic. I and every fellow Asian American I know was vulnerable to hate crimes due to that nonsense association.

Howard Chu @ Symas (hyc@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 25-Sep-2023 17:14:56 JST Howard Chu @ Symas @mcc unfortunately, repo spam is super common now. On OpenLDAP we don't use the git* issue trackers, we keep issue tracking in a separate system (formerly jitterbugs, now bugzilla) so the moderation load is split (and so we have complete control of the ticket DB. I still have no idea how to import/export github issues.). We still don't approve gitlab accounts immediately, but you can always open a ticket to report an issue.

Howard Chu @ Symas (hyc@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Aug-2023 12:17:24 JST Howard Chu @ Symas @jplebreton @torproject while your overall point is true in 99.999% of cases, I feel compelled to point out that Tor's DDOS protection mechanism only exists because of work done by the #Monero Project. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec/-/blob/main/proposals/327-pow-over-intro.txt
We invented the PoW algorithm and a Monero developer customized it for use by Tor. Without our work there would not have been any viable solution.

Howard Chu @ Symas (hyc@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Aug-2023 12:17:21 JST Howard Chu @ Symas @eliasr @jplebreton @torproject there are a few, you can find most of them with the #monero hashtag. We're also migrating from reddit to lemmy (see monero.town). But I have to say, there's so much open hostility to all things crypto here that I don't expect a lot of Monero folks to come this way.
