The U.S. government is considering issuing an executive order that would require vendors to provide a software bill of materials (SBOMs). Caution: may contain nuts
Or at least - made in a facility that contains nuts

Can we ask for such a label for politicians and regulators?

That's an extraordinarily high percentage for a politician.

Hmpf.
Ever tried to get a "Safety Integrity Level" certification? Even for the simplest level, you have to provide far more than that.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Er... isn't this just going to rule out smaller vendors in favour of bigger vendors who can afford to tick the (largely worthless) boxes.
Regulatory capture, much? Follow the money.

And we have a winner! Probably exactly why the idea is going forward.

Structured Query Language (SQL) at scale can lead to unstructured, unmaintainable database code - at least as far as Google is concerned - so boffins affiliated with the biz have devised an open source logical programming language to make SQL more amenable to maintenance. But then how would I be a SELECT individual?
Quote: Here's how a basic query might look in Logica code:
MagicComment(comment_text:) :-
`comments`(user_id:, comment_text:),
user_id == 5;
And here's the equivalent in SQL:
SELECT comment_text FROM comments WHERE user_id = 5;
Oh... Much clearer... /ugh

Depends on your definition of 'clearer.' To Google, it is, because their servers get to 'clearly' see the new-style transaction! (and /s?)

So let's create an even more confusing tool that actually doesn't even solve the problem. Rather than teaching programmers how to write more maintainable DB code.
I'm surprised they didn't start with a Lego-like UI that made it entertaining. Or used Excel.

I am actually unimpressed by the Logica sample in the article...

The EU is set to unveil a proposal to regulate the sprawling field of artificial intelligence next week, with the aim of reassuring the public against "Big Brother"-like abuses. Irony: (noun) a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.
At least to Alanis-levels of irony to me.

And in the meanwhile the inner minister in germany is trying (again²) to pass a bunch of big-brother and net survilleance laws

If you mean that Big Brother laws will apply to tech companies but not governments, you've surely hit the nail on the head.

It's like the whole crap with the covid track apps / data in phyiscal locations...
Government some months ago: No, No, No, data will be private... (Yeah, right!!)
Reality: Police and others are using it at will without asking for permission or not even taking security precautions...
But hey... it is all for our own security...

A survey of 400 developers and DevOps team members in the U.S. and Europe found, on average, 15 hours a week are being spent managing tasks such as debugging pipelines and waiting for tests and builds to complete. No such thing as a silver bullet: 2021 edition

Social interaction is really important to keep up with people that has no clue about your professional field.
