#meltdown bug. if you are not a computer nerd, here's the gist: hackers discovered one very big hole to your password, and there's nothing you can do.

just read a few articles/papers about the intel bugs #meltdown and #spectre.
#meltdown require OS kernel patch, cause 5% to 30% slow down for system call intensive apps (networking/file). and #spectre is unfixable.

We are fucked. by next week, nobody will remember the problems, except hackers and gov. But have a cookie, you are fucked already anyway with ur phone and usb and ssh etc.

or, just have a cookie. By next week, nobody will remember it. 99.99999% of computer users dunno it anyway. Even the few who's clamoring about it all day now, they, dunno what's going on.

the intel bug, is nasty. it means, n hours gonna spend reading it. fk it. and, in modern society, u really dunno what security fk is going on. The only option is to dedicate your life to that.

@jeremiah nice

@jeremiah interesting. thanks.

but i didn't like it too much. Perhaps the instrument or the playing.

the dynamics is wrong, tune seems funny (off tune?).

there's a minor movement, that associate ugly modern architecture with sjw movement. Sure, i appreciate old + ancient, some beautiful, and historical treasure. But this movement may be harmful. It is in essence a sophistry, just as sjw clamoring fat is beautiful.

#javascript ES2015 added proper Set and Map objects. However, you still cannot compare if 2 maps have the same key/values. What a besotted shit. EVERY other lang does!

@ScottALavender i see.

i didn't read in detail. I scan'd the whole.

but when linking to it, i spend 2 min looking at her other articles... so wasn't quite sure about her.

still, i think that article has merit. She exposed a sjw cult.

i used to be proud of social sciences, e.g. anthropology and political science, telling programers that they should study it, an area they know nothing about. But, i didn't know how it has became so politically corrupted. Perhaps even in 1990s.
