   Why the disclaimer? We know that monopolies make bad platform owners.

    Viruses that infect USB devices can compromise systems based on air gaps.

    Difftastic is text-based.
15. chalst Mar 24, 2024 parent

    You can be the one to create such a package…
16. chalst Mar 24, 2024 parent

    Yes, since magit allows a call-out to diff and difftastic can be supplied as a binary, but magit allows you to use ediff, and Emacs allows use of tree-sitter, so I don’t really see the point.
17. chalst Mar 24, 2024 parent

    Emacs has a git client, Magit, which can use ediff, the Elisp implementation of diff.

    Since Emacs is widely used for parsing, and can parse using tree-sitter, Emacs doesn’t seem to benefit from difftastic. But perhaps I’m overlooking some capability of difftastic.

    The mugging scenario shows that there are risks associated with pairing removal, but the suggestion by lcnPylGDnU4H9OF [1] seems to deal with this particular issue.

    Are there any other risks?

    -> But it also takes aim at “parts pairing,” or the practice of preventing you from replacing device parts without the approval of a company or its restrictive software. Apple, which routinely uses this practice to try and monopolize repair, lobbied extensively against the Oregon bill. As usual, under the (false) claim that eliminating parts pairing would put public safety and security at risk:

    -> “We remain very concerned about the risk to consumers imposed by the broad parts-pairing restrictions in this bill,” John Perry, principal secure repair architect for Apple, said at a legislative hearing last month.”

    There was a time when interpreting the “risk to consumers” as a risk of being prevented from gouging consumers would be cynical. Now I guess something like that occurred to the lawyers.

    It also could be misused by Apple.

    I would hesitate to say Julia has better support for Python interoperability, since I haven’t tried out Mojo’s support, but this interoperability is a goal of Mojo.
25. chalst Feb 13, 2024 parent

    Many do, but some go beyond coherence and tell a story. E.g.,

    https://www.entrances2hell.co.uk/page285.html

    says

    > The Cult of Reversible Death wrote of a moonlight-appointment with God (which the devil failed to attend due to prior commitments) claiming that it was to have taken place here at Puggnac. There is no evidence to prove their claim but the local steelworks still shows the event on their coat of arms. Puggnac has superbly delicate ductwork and a hydraulics system which was designed and built in Yorkshire.

    Radom as hell, though, fitting the theme.

26. chalst Feb 9, 2024 parent

    Julia is an example of a dynamic language that is fast. I would like to see Mojo and Julia compared for interoperability with Python.
