Yeah, that's probably just people who read the initial comments from back when secure boot keys were not user configurable (and support wasn't available in Linux) and kept on echoing it all the way to the present.
Kinda similar to the "Linux is just secure" echoers, who might have started from some proper argument explaining what kinds of security problems don't exist in systems developed using Linux and why they don't require installing a 24/7 antivirus background process. Because people tend to make catchphrases. I too sometimes, forget the implications and tend to make them.
Despite considering that I need to setup secure boot for my laptop, I have kept it on hold for a bit too long.But then again, considering the area I am in, I can hardly expect someone to try and steal my data or try to put a ransomware or similar thing, if it means having to get physical access for it. Much higher chance for someone to just steal and sell the thing as is.
Exactly.Silicon is not a rare earth element.Neither is Aluminium nor plastic nor Lithium (it's getting rarer alright, but doesn't fall into the category).
The amount of rare earth elements is really small in these devices.
As long as it is something I want to be loading all at once, I would go with JSON and use the JSON binary format provided by QJsonDocument and forget about it.But if I expect it to get bigger and need stuff partially loaded, things get lengthier.Stream Reading libraries (e.g. the XML one in Qt) makes it much longer to write and that's where I would consider whether to use a database instead.
And it's better to be considered so.The name itself suggests a Comma as a separator, but we know how inconvenient that is and that tab characters tend to be useful in most cases.Even LibreOffice Calc asks the user what they expect as the separator when given a csv file, even if it has enough commas to feel correct.
One big reason for requiring comments being updates the same time as what is commented. I once managed to do that for a while when I alone was making and maintaining a project.
It becomes harder, the more people are working on a project and the larger the project gets.
But the alternative would lead to Java-like function-etc names and that is not very desirable either.
But of course, spreading tobacco smoke and reducing the IQ and creativity of the whole human population, which in turn causes them to be unable to find a proper replacement for the things that you are against, while also increasing the rate of ageing of everyone, is pretty cool.
That would have been correct in the pre-domestication era.
