I am not sure about the 360’s terminals, but some terminals could display graphics via sixels. Konsole and xterm are capable of showing them in the present day if you run a terminal copy of word perfect.
The 360 was pretty big in high-energy physics. The numerical libraries used at the time (KERNLIB, some of which found its way into BLAS) were all written within the limitations of FORTRAN 77, something that was not needed for the VAX.
You're already trusting that third party agent on your own computer. If VSCode itself was malware then it can do anything you can do, including sshing into remote machines and running commands behind your back.
No -- when I ssh somewhere I am NOT giving them (the server) permission to run code on MY computer. When I vscode-remote somewhere then I AM giving them (the server) to run code on MY computer. You don't expect visiting a website to give the website permission to edit your local files, and so similarly some people might expect that if they are remote-editing with vscode they are not giving the remote-server permission to edit their local files either. Best to be aware!
Are you saying that the VSCode binaries are not built from the exact source that is available? Or that the opensource license doesn't apply to the version of VSC that is distributed via binaries?
I'm using VSCodium myself anyway, but I'm also installing it from binaries (precompiled packages), as is the case with most opensource software I use.
I mean, yeah, technically true - although you would connect in untrusted mode if you didn't trust the machine where you were editing code. At that point it should only be slightly more dangerous than opening a web page from the remote server.
So yeah, if you don't trust the remote machine then I agree - you probably shouldn't use it. But I don't really think that's the use-case they had in mind.
In person networking, it still works and the ratio of signal
to noise has only gotten higher post-internet.
SW/Hacker types have this on easy-mode compared to other industries because of how many professional / enthusiast groups we have floating around in every city. We do our jobs outside of work for fun. That's doesn't work for an accountant. Companies seem to vastly prefer recruiting from these events and they get you past the screens. I've never once not gotten the interview emailing or name dropping the event / company rep I talked to.
My first job was from an ad in the local paper, I sent a copy of my resume via mail with a covering letter and my home phone number. Also agents were actually useful, they were a hub where employers went to look for people and the agent had a list of people looking for jobs.
Apple follows the law. First you need to get the Chinese government to respect those rights. The only other choice is to stop doing business entirely in the country.
A choice many companies have made. Apple is in China to make money, which is what a corporation is set up to do. My point is them claiming the moral high ground of a human rights defender is utterly laughable bullshit.
