He does have the authority to send whoever operates it a letter asking them to pretty please shut it down. Unlike with regular people however, the chance the recommendation will be followed is zero.

The incredible thing is this is actually the result of an explicit design decision.

The compiler accepts most GCC flags. Unrecognized flags (e.g., architecture- specific -m flags, unknown -f flags) are silently ignored so ccc can serve as a drop-in GCC replacement in build systems.

They're so committed to vibing that they'd prefer if the compiler just does random shit to make it easier to shove it haphazardly into a build pipeline.

I promise that if Sam Altman is sent to (above minimum-security) prison for piracy, I will not complain about copyright law a single time until the day he is released.

Cryptography is hard and programmers are notoriously really really really bad at it.

I have never seen or heard of a single example of a study that would be unethical due to true findings being predictably harmful to people.

These studies are not examples because their methodology doesn't hold up to the slightest scrutiny. They are not seeking the truth in any way.

maybe they were looking for extra special characters like 🁄 or ⶸ. Who am I kidding, RFC 1738 tells us that literally everything is unsafe and you know, we need to prepare for the inevitable occasion when the password somehow ends up inside an URL.

The characters "<" and ">" are unsafe because they are used as the delimiters around URLs in free text;
the quote mark (""") is used to delimit URLs in some systems.
The character "#" is unsafe
The character "%" is unsafe

It ends up with

Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters
$ - _ . + ! * ' ( ) ,
are safe

Were you hoping for expedition 33?

They said "a single" face so probably not the strikeface.

It's been maintained for over 10 years by now so it shouldn't be going anywhere.
