British government set to back down on secret iCloud backdoor after US pressure

We learned earlier this year that the British government had secretly ordered Apple to create a backdoor into encrypted data for all iCloud users worldwide. Specifically, it wanted a way to see personal data protected by Apple’s introduction of Advanced Data Protection (ADP), which extended end-to-end encryption to almost all iCloud data, meaning not even the iPhone maker could access it. Apple has been fighting the secret order in secret court hearings, but it now appears that the US governmen

Perl Versioning Scheme and Gentoo

The Gentoo Perl Versioning Scheme A common observation/confusion people have is that the versions used on Perl related things in Gentoo don't directly correspond to upstream versions. This is because Upstream uses 2 different schemes, and one of those schemes is fundamentally incompatible with Gentoos. The Problem In most people's mind, this is how version numbers sort: 1.0 1.1 1.5 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.45 This is because you read . as a delimiter for multiple integers. However, in Perl, those
