The no coder problem

No.100182454 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Yesterday on /g/, there was a thread where a large number of people were not only defending but encouraging the use of a giant 1000+ switch case statement for a dialogue system, and some even said it was the best way.
>>100157238
This calls into question the issue of the "no-coder" which is a person with little to no programming experience but nevertheless frequently engages in and poses as an expert in online programming discussion.
In recent years it has gotten so bad that sometimes there are more no-coders than programmers in discussions. This could lead to a future where programming languages features are basically entirely influenced by memes.

How do we fix this?

Windows is a security disaster

No.100179573 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Windows is a security disaster, & they are not moving towards changing. Compare that to Linux who has dominated the server & embedded devices market, among other things.

The userspace Linux desktop software stack is far better relative to the others. Security & privacy are such high priorities. It's really completly based & it's hard to even choose where to start in terms of explaining how good it is:

>Wayland for separating windows & keystrokes
>Firejail, Bubblewrap & seccomp-bpf for sandboxing/privilege separation
>AppArmor, SELinux, SMACK, YAMA, Tomoyo & Landlock for permission models
>Hardened kernel & compiler toolchains (most notably clang) for exploit mitigation & memory safety
>UEFI Secure Boot + dm-verity for a full verified boot
>Memory-safe languages like Hare are first-class citizens
>Smaller attack surface in the first place

...& because it is open source, there is much effort put into finding & fixing bugs, compared to Windows which is unauditable & does not respect your freedom!

Look at something like Windows where software versions are forced & totally superficial. You're expected not to compile, but to Google your way to a software's download page, & verifying the integrity of a binary is unheard of. Only a tiny subset of security fixes receiving CVEs are backported (check MITRE if you don't believe me), the deployment of even the legacy exploit mitigations from 2 decades ago is terrible. Microsoft is notorious for holding back exploits for the three-letter agencies. Is this what passes as secure? What a joke! LMAO! It is just not based in any kind of reality with any actual reasoning / thought behind it. Only the glownigger shills & the MadA*dan cult would have you believe this.

Desktop Windows is falling further & further behind Linux in all of these areas. The work to try catching up like WSL is extremely flawed. There's little attempt to learn from other distros doing much better & to adopt their privacy & security features to catch up.
