The languages you mentioned are both garbage collected. No body from c/c++ is moving to them.

It's not only a case of buggy software. They knew about the error and lied in court to save face. Imagine how evil someone has to be to know they're in the wrong and sending innocent people to prison over a software bug. Those people haven't been charged with a crime for doing so either.

They've been spending a tiny percentage on the Firefox browser for years.

It's not that deep. He is just a fraudster trying to push stock price.

What you've said here was a point of view already rebutted a year ago..

Could you at least get the name right? You're right, CrowdStrike had the same problems on their supported Debian version too a month prior apparently, so I don't see this being improved by changing OS. It's just what happens when a product is popular and spectacularly fails.

Hate them all you want but China is actually the only government as far as I know where if you have a company you have to comply with their cybersecurity directives (for example MLPS 2.0) to ensure your systems are secure. You need to ensure a whole bunch of stuff about how your systems are firewalled off, that data is encrypted at rest, and so on. It's mandatory for all companies earning over a certain amount of money. Now, that doesn't mean their execution is perfect but, in terms of governance it makes other governments look childish by comparison. Why aren't all western governments putting through similar laws? People have actually died from hospital cybersecurity attacks and these old politicians in the west don't even have a basic understanding of the difference between an iPhone and Android. It's extremely facepalm worthy.

Microsoft still finding ways to ruin linux...

Microsoft employees trying to ruin linux. Great...

I couldn't really understand why they wanted to do any change until I read through the actual proposal text..

A reason for defaulting to installing non-free firmware *by default*
is accessibility. A blind user running the installer in text-to-speech
mode may need audio firmware loaded to be able to drive the installer
at all. It's going to be very difficult for them to change this. Other
people should be able to drive the system (boot menus, etc.) to *not*
install the non-free firmware packages if desired.

We will *only* include the non-free-firmware component on our media
and on installed systems by default. As a general policy, we still do
not want to see other non-free software in use. Users may still enable
the existing non-free component if they need it.

We also need to do the work to make this happen:

  * in d-i, live-boot and elsewhere to make information about firmware
      available.

  * add support for the non-free-firmware section in more places:
      ftpsync, debian-cd and more.

and I plan to start on some of those soon.

No, i'm thinking of patents like mini games during loading screens, force feedback on joysticks patent has pretty much killed force feedback joysticks for decades

A lot of software patents in games are bullshit that have held back the industry anyway. Frankly we need an IP reset as nothing ever reaches the public domain anymore.

This was a trusted contributor that went apeshit. The very same thing can happen anywhere, for example the same thing could happen in Debian packages too. The only difference is that NPM have such a larger number of contributors.

So how did 'racist' NASA land several men on the moon, without NON-WHITES?

They didn't.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K...

I've tried out MariaDB specifically, the Galera Cluster many times and found it to be very lacking. The default Debian repos just seem broken and have been for a long time according to the bug reports i've read. Apart from the broken packages the fact that the documentation is very lacking and dotted all over the place has put me off. After MariaDB I moved on to Percona's implementation which comes with working packages and good documentation.
