tech/science swag.
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.

This is an r-slured fricking paragraph and plain wrong. All the OSes have experimented with rust without any using it to any significant degree.
and then
xD
The rest of it is scraping the barrel for things to criticise. Maybe someone will pretend to be sudo. derp.
The one valid point that the article does make is that OSes were designed to be multi-user where you'd not trust the other users. Now they're almost always single user but you wanna be suspicious of the applications instead. But I'm not sure if there is really any good way to solve that without completely redesigning how computers work.

It's solved by mobile OSes with their strict sandboxing and easy gui permissions settings, but yes, the desktop is a long ways away. With Linux all we have are janky cowtools like selinux, apparmor, firejail, flatpak (bleh) and so on. Qubes OS is a usable system that actually makes good progress towards solving the problem, while something more like Genode/Sculpt OS is experimental but with a cleaner design and where we need to be heading towards in the long run.

I wonder how well stuff like Guix and Nix solve this issue, if at all.

Isn't Lemmy written in Rust, and didn't they just announce a massive XSS vuln? Memory-safe doesn't mean well written.

there's a reason rust freaked the frick out at someone making a compiler

He's not saying it's non-FOSS, he's bringing up how there's basically just the one official rust compiler instead of there being multiple competing compilers like with C and C++, and most other programming languages. This is due to the fact that Rust doesn't actually have a formal specification, specification is whatever the Official Compiler does. This isn't a wise move because it doesn't guarantee that rust code written in the past will behave the same in the future or present. It also makes it borderline impossible to create an alternative compiler, since there's nothing saying that a specific keyword should exist or behave a certain way. This is bad.

The fact I’ve heard this as the paramount complaint of Rust in current year actually inspires more confidence in it imo.
There’s no document that people would ignore anyway but it’s super duper important so a neurodivergent neckbeard can get a half-broken gcc port? This is the biggest complaint about Rust?

I mean there's the fact that the actual rust compiler is obscenely aids to actually bootstrap, etc. I think you're just being contrarian here because you want marseycoin or something. It's pretty clear that this is an actual issue.

I can write it less smugly but I don’t legitimately think a single compiler ecosystem is that big of an issue, no.
