What's so genuine about this?

Despite the fact they're two different languages, people are often taught as though it's basically just a subset relationship and then they carry this through into the actual software they write.

Because neither of these are memory safe languages, you are required to ensure you've made no mistakes or else anything might happen.

This smells like Claudism/LLMish.

What are you talking about? The point is in fact to pick all the numbers in the range with exactly the same probability.

See section 7.3.17 of the Intel SDM, and how NIST SP800-90A (which the SDM refers to) defines "random number".

Did you reply to the wrong post?

Searching for products has become impossible. If you don't already know what you are looking for, you're screwed.

Installing docker by default is completely insane. What are they doing? Rootless podman has been around for many years at this point.

Rootless docker is even an officially supported install method.

Everyone loves AI so much that they want to hide the fact that they're using AI.

> It's always like this, EU is in urgent need of becoming a country in some form and local government deal with local stuff only.

The lesson is the opposite: The EU needs LESS power, not more. If the member states didn't have a cartel to tyrannize their collective population, this regulation could never have happened. Any single country that would try to enforce this would be on its own.

Nope, less power means the current situation will be the default as each country by default will have their own body and rules to govern instead of one rule and one body that handles the whole continent.

Unlike what you appear to believe Europeans are not some libertarian captured by the EU socialist, most europeans do want less wasteful and less harmful packaging.

Do most Europeans want all of their E-commerce to be only handled by American and Chinese megacorporations without local players? Because that is the effect of this regulation. Instead of a SME shipping a cardboard box, it will be Amazon or Temu.

This also negatively affects smaller trading partners, and makes (bi-lateral) trade with the EU much less appealing to them. This means that countries like Canada are less likely to maintain trade agreements which open their market to all sorts of EU goods.

You are not arguing in good faith, such a loaded question. I will leave it here, too much BS in one comment to deal with it

And "do you want less wasteful" packaging isn't? Because of this question businesses got priced out of shipping from the EU to the EU.

nope, irrelevant

I really doubt that any country except maybe Germany would have introduced this legislation by themselves.

No, we absolutely don't need to give more power to Orbans and other corrupt selfish pricks across Europe to line their pockets at everyones expense and the future of Europe.

> Any single country that would try to enforce this would be on its own.

Actually they'd have no retroactive way to enforce it at all, and the most they'd be able to do would be to charge an import duty on a per-parcel basis, which would ultimately be borne by the importer.

This would be a huge improvement over the utter nonsense they're implementing!

> member states do shitty stuff and blame the EU.

The crooked MEPs also voted in favor of this law. They are just as culpable.

What are the SOTA harnesses for scanning a repo for vulnerabilities?
