You may not have used SCSI this decade, but the old storage interface software is still in Linux and security holes have been found, and fixed, within it. I always thought those drives were a little scuzzy

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A researcher from the University of Arizona named Jekan Thanga has proposed an ambitious project that aims to preserve much of life on earth using a solar-powered lunar ark. Offsite backup

Life outside of earth is harder; an Ark it wouldn't be, that's a bad analogy.

Haha, anything to get funding, no? 
SG wrote: storing samples on the moon reduces the risk of biodiversity being lost if an event was to cause the total annihilation of Earth.
If a "total annihilation" occurs, what use is the spermbank? Aliens will destroy it if the need the moon, because it has no value to them.
Mankind would not be in that scenario, since "total annihilation of the Earth" implies that.
This is a man looking for funding, not someone doing science. It lacks the basics that non-scientists can point out.

That's the second part of the project (which will require a new funding process) to create a robot overlord that will recombine all that material and send it back to earth...

Shouldn't that be "Count of Coin"?

A great idea, but businesses won't adopt it, so it will never hit the mainstream.

Rust offers a safer programming language, but adoption is still a problem despite recent signs of increasing popularity. Never underestimate the ability of people to create new vulnerabilities
|
|
|
|
|
All they are doing is replacing obvious vulnerabilities (in the applications) with more subtle vulnerabilities (in the RTL and/or the VM ).
For evidence, see most of the release notes for recent VS2019 releases.

The operative words are "safer" and "reduce." There is no such thing as "safe" or 100% safety. There is only "safer than." But if, as is claimed, Rust eliminates 70% of security vulnerabilities (others say this too, e.g., Amazon) that's a win.
Just view it as another tool in the toolbox. Almost no existing languages get killed off completely. C and C++ ain't disappearing anytime soon.
