Ha! This video is what I needed right now for a few reasons. Thanks. Yes, I am on the spectrum, and so is my brother, and so is my father. I wasn't diagnosed until my late 30s, but 1) I had plenty of other things to blame, and 2) I more or less 'knew' since my teens, but autism was not widely discussed then, and I didn't identify with that label at all. Internally I simply identified as a space alien from another planet sent here to observe humans. It helped me explain to myself my need to study people very carefully to form a theory of their words and actions. I just studied people silently for years, never saying much. After high school I found some friends who appreciated me enough to bring me into situations where I could imitate them and slowly begin to practice masking.

My father was not very involved because my mother didn't want him to be. To this day she is enraged that she was suckered into marrying a defective person because she felt sorry for him. She booted me out the house at 18. I was quasi-homeless for the next few years, sleeping in my car, at friends', sometimes at my grandparents'. Nothing permanent. I'm going to cut this story short because it doesn't really go anywhere. 2006-2012 were pretty good for me, and by conventional measures too.

I've been entangled with the mental health system too many times to list. It's a fraught fucking thing. A real mind-fuck. We didn't have the word 'gaslighting' in those days.

I've had very little interaction in life with people I relate to, other than my brother. That's why this video is ... relieving, or something like that.
I'm sorry but just because someone disagrees with your views on whether trans women are equal to biological women does not make him transphobic. You can tolerate someone/something without having to agree with it.
SRKs are a special case but their recent low figures and troubles with calves seem mostly unrelated to those past captures and more related to issues like the lack of food, the use of sonar (nearby naval bases), boat noise, runoff from Seattle, and other issues (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_resident_killer_wha...). I get that the past captures reduced their numbers, which increases the risk of this community of whales disappearing, but it seems the lack of subsequent growth/recovery is due to other factors.

Orcas as a whole (the species not specific pods) aren’t marked as endangered and number in the tens of thousands. The SRKs are endangered and that’s terrible but I would say the overall orca species and even other marine life benefit from greater awareness and consideration from people having been able to appreciate them directly in places like SeaWorld.
Steve, I don't understand why Google, Microsoft and AWS et. al are on a board of this new foundation. Who had a say on this decision?

And the special guest is Huawei as well just because they use Rust in some way.

I'd rather have them sponsor Rust without giving them too much control by placing them on the board.
You can use a bigger shitbowl instance, but at this point you might just want to deploy a few of them on a shitshelf cluster. However if you're hitting size limits with only two users, you should tackle the root cause instead of throwing more hardware at it.

Because then only untargeted advertising will be left, and that's definitely not what you want.
I believe that's where a lot of "viking shaman" LARPers go, am I right?

Thanks! I am using MDX for the articles. I don't really like it though. MDX is fiddly and causes some headaches here and there. I am exploring other options.

The MDX files are here: https://github.com/city41/mattgreer.dev/tree/main/pages/arti...

Personally I actually like deadlines if project scope can be adjusted to meet them and there's no crunch time. It forces everyone to focus on getting a concrete deliverable out rather than getting side tracked for months on pointless features or additions or optimizations. And as an introvert having N mini-jobs where I have to keep track of N times as many people sounds like hell.

To be clear, "this problem" requires the attacker to have sophisticated equipment with physical access to your key for a significant amount of time. So yes still by far the most secure way, right below a non-clonable key.
Yes... just like I would hope others would be supportive of my choice of communication. No matter what, it’s definitely not arrogant.

And in fact if more people had the courage to buck the trends and potential be “isolated” then we wouldn’t be ceding so much of our privacy to these social media companies as we are now.

A phone call always works, no matter where in the world you are. We don’t actually “need” these services, as much as they would like us to believe so.
Just curious if anyone knows how long the 4000-6000 observations required would take on this particular device?
> it involves rejecting this kind of extremism

It's not "extremism" if, from the point of view of History, you're on the winning side, in that case, it's "heroism".
> these companies are more than just private companies they are social utilities.

No, no they're not. If you or others personally perceive them as utilities, you have skewed perception of reality. I mean not even the ISP you're using to access them aren't considered utilities. It's funny that the same people who applauded Pai for the net neutrality thing are the ones complaining about 'big tech censorship'.
The author, Mikola Lysenko, is a remarkable engineer. He's wildly prolific, but my favorite project of his is regl[1], which is an unparalleled WebGL library. I think it might be the best-in-class example of all OpenGL libraries, though I have admittedly fallen behind on the state-of-the-art of desktop OpenGL.

>I think it will have some negative 2nd/3rd order effects. that they haven't yet realized.

This is correct. The type of person that stormed the capitol will perceive this as an escalation. I’m sure that’s not what we need, but I’m also sure that there is no good way out of this mess.
But the async/await/Promises only make the code look synchronous because it actually makes the code synchronous. The await literally blocks the current thread, it's nice that the code is executed in a thread scheduler but I'm still blocking the current thread. How this was accepted as a big win is not clear to me. If you want to make it asynchronous you still have to write .Then(()=> {}) which is a nested function. So we won nothing on that front. It's literally just about taking tiny pieces of code out and running them in a different thread... while the current thread is blocked anyway. So all this hurrah for almost nothing gained. In C# we already had a task scheduler ala Task.Run(()=>{}). Async instead of Task.Run() seems like such a microsopic win in exchange for an enormous amount of complexity.
You mean you weren't convinced by the argument that if MLK or Lincoln didn't have access to Facebook the world would have been a different place?

Or was it the credentials of "I bought $12 of Bitcoin when I was young and it increased in value" that didn't sell you?

It seems like a slam dunk from over here, so I'm confused as to what you didn't find convincing....
> The dude's in high school and finds stuff like this?

As someone who once got a $500 bug bounty from Facebook in high school, I'll have to say that this is not so surprising. Finding these bugs is 10% knowing about attack vectors (CSRF, XSS etc.) and 90% spending time trying them out in various forms in all the places you can think of. In school (especially if you're already doing well there) you often have lots of spare time and not so many others way of earning money. And with just a few years of experience with programming/computers there are far quicker ways to earn money.

It's still super impressive work by the author of course!! They are extremely talented! I'm not trying to dismiss what they accomplished; just commenting on the strange dynamic of software security research.
Demoscene is spending a lot of effort to make things as efficient as possible. Other programmers have other priorities. Clearly the performance is what it is because "running in a browser" was deemed non-negotiable (as it strengthens Google, and then the performance just had to be "good enough" (with Google's lead and market size).
> they probably shouldn't attempt selling consumer-type applications on Linux

That's pretty damn insightful actually. Spot on.
Seriously, don't worry about this. Worry about problems that more than a miniscule fraction of people actually have. Catering to the 0.0001% of people who disable half their browser and then complain that the web stops working is a waste of time (and I like browsing in w3m as much as anyone).
Yes. This would also explain why Ruby became popular in corporate America. It gives the appearance of being an OO language, so it can be sold to management as such, but it really is more of a Lisp in disguise. So in practice it's OO language with a hidden escape hatch. Just if only it wasn't so dang slow...
It's not just race. Ugly people are incredibly discriminated against. Attractive politicians receive two and a half times as many votes as unattractive ones. Attractive people are far more likely to get hired and get paid 14% more. Unattractive people are twice as likely to be convicted for the same crimes in court, and have to pay damages twice as high on average.

I'm in western Montana. Similar cost of housing/living but more mountains then you could explore in a lifetime and the winters are filled with powder skiing.

Edit: also the NIH and at least one big biotech company do have branches in my small town which persist essentially because it is so easy to get people to want to live/stay here.
I should have mentioned that precedence rules are pretty wacky.

I wish that in the languages I have worked on that I could just ignore precedence and use parens, but operator precedence is expected.
It's bizarre foreign movie and music corporations (I'm Canadian) are dictating actual physical changes to computing hardware.

It's as bizarre to me as if US car corporations dictated I could only use premium fuel from Shell and monitored it in real-time.
I'll have to find the article later, but I read somewhere that about 1.7% of victims actually ended up paying money to the original cryptolocker guys, yet this seems to be enough to keep them in business. For your plan to work, you would need pretty much 100% compliance, which simply isn't going to happen.
It would probably take legislation. The companies could certainly appeal the law, but I don't think it would be a massive expansion of antitrust authority.
In fact, unlike previous OpenID protocols, OpenID Connect is a profile of OAuth 2.0.

The conflation of authorization with authentication is an accident and a mistake. They are still quite separate concepts. Authentication is about verifying identity. Authorization is about privileges afforded a given identity. Access control models usually depend on some form of upstream authentication.

The third-party authorization flows provided by OAuth are not intended to establish or verify a user's identity. Their purpose is to extend a user's access to a third-party in a limited way without sharing passwords.

Social Sign-in is an accident of 3-Legged OAuth and its use for this purpose is considered a very weak form of authentication.

OpenID Connect takes the best ideas from preceding identity protocols and incorporates them into OAuth flows, giving the best of both worlds.

I advise everybody to not mess with any secrets setting that is listed with a red font.
You know, where I am from (northern Italy) if someone like this decided to antagonize their whole neighborhood like that, they'd end up having to move. Not because of threats or property damage: people would simply shun him to starvation. It's no fun to be unable to buy groceries or gas.
That made me LOL. This might actually make for an interesting way (via A.I.) to find loopholes in law, seeing law as a programmatic way to determine acceptable societal PID's.
That's only the JS port as far as I can see. The original potentially supports more.
It really is. It works most of the time for the same reason it works in war, you have the element of surprise. In a population of ordinary citizens you aren't likely to encounter much trouble kicking in doors at 2am. It works for criminals after all.

But things are a little different in the US because there are lots of keyed-up gun owning vets that spent most of their military service conducting urban warfare.

Put simply, you cannot just roll up on me like that. Just knock on the door politely and I'll come out and chat. Kick in my door like a home-invasion robbery and I'll follow my training without thought.

My personal responses to these are interesting.

The first three I was all like "yes! So glad someone articulate is finally saying this".

Then for type systems I was unable to overcome my current biases, thinking "what a load of tosh! Type systems are obviously a good thing".

Makes me wonder what it would actually take to break the Dunning-Kruger meme
I wouldn't count on MySQL anymore. Oracle recently attempted to remove InnoDB support (i.e. transactional safety) from the Free Software variant of MySQL:

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Oracle-raises-prices-...

Although they took this back for the moment, allowing InnoDB to stay available in the "Community Edition", they made very clear that we can't count on that in the future.

So if you attach importance to ACID, I recommend to start with PostgreSQL rather than MySQL.
They're probably going to give an amnesty for today's events, what are they going to do? Throw thousands of people in jail and make them political martyrs?
I'm now considering whether to move away from JetBrains IDEs... I like CLion, but potential vulnerabilities intentionally injected into software like this makes me worry.
The question was asked, and has been thoroughly investigated at this point, but the administration did not like what they heard so they're pretending they never got the answer. It's childish and embarrassing for them to continue pretending that the question is still open.

Unfortunately we have many examples of debunked theories that maintain a public consciousness for a very long time. MSG, Flat Earth, Vaccine induced autism, Creationism, etc... All it takes is for motivated people to refuse to accept the evidence and continue repeating unfounded claims as if they were still valid. They can do this until they grow old and die, and there will always be at least a few people who follow.

Sprawl isn't economically advantageous to cities, since low-density sprawl does not generate sufficient funds to cover the associated infrastructure. High-density urban cores end up subsidizing those infrastructure costs. [0] The end result is what Strong Towns refers to as the "Growth Ponzi Scheme". [1]

Frank Zappa had a VRML website of his recording studio called The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen. My computer in the mid-90s was barely capable of rendering it but I remember being in awe of how cool it was.
Came by to mention Threads. [1] The collapse of society spurred by nuclear war is a pretty horrific thing.

If Threads taught me anything about being prepared for “surviving” a nuclear war in a metropolitan area, it’s to stock up on alcohol and drugs so your impending death is not as painful.

(note: none of the following has anything to do with office layout)

"Joel’s management philosophy is deceptively simple: hire smart people who get things done, and get the hell out of their way. The role of management is to give the people who actually do the work — the developers, designers, sysadmins, etc. — all the tools they need to get their jobs done, and then trust them to do the job!"

Let's say you work directly with about 15 people. The majority of those people are remote, with some local. The manager hangs back in meetings and listens for problems, and hurriedly works to resolve roadblocks for their direct reports. They also chime in occasionally if people need a reminder of a pressing high priority item or objective.

Now let's say those 15 people all come from different places and all have different ways of 'getting things done'. One person builds a unicycle in order to achieve the goal of 'transporting A to B'. Another person builds a bicycle. Yet another attempts to build a space shuttle.

If you're really really lucky, all of these different inventions and methods will simply mesh, and there will be no friction within the team, and things just churn on forever.

If you're dealing with smart, experienced people, there may be a lot of back-and-forth discussion while people try to figure out which kind of solution is the best.

If you're dealing with egocentric 'rock stars', absolutely nothing gets done unless someone basically bullies someone else into caving on their method.

Even if nobody actually ever voices a problem with the way someone else works, it is in a manager's interest to be invested in the past, present and future of the work produced. Legacy systems need to keep working, current designs need to be in-line with best practice, and planned work needs to be future-proof and maintainable. How do they do that by staying hands-off?

Where do I think Joel's management philosophy leaves you? If you're lucky, with product that mirrors the quality of your employees combined with their ability to form a single cohesive unit where everyone's work complements each other. If you're not lucky, you get arguments, delays, and code that doesn't support the goals of the project or the group.

Interesting read on how to detect PhantomJS, particularly the stack trace detection. Though I'm curious whether these methods will still work if the adversary is using Selenium rather than a headless browser? In other words, what could be done to detect a Selenium instance over a human using the browser?
So, the attacker must inject a malicious ECDSA signing code to the victims bitcoin client?

If I get this right, it doesn't sound like sensible research to me at all. If you are able to get code to the victims computer, then you can just steal the private keys right away.
Batman is improbably built. See how his muscles bulge preposterously from his armor? [1] In real life, most body builders focused on "aesthetics" would have to starve themselves to bring their body fat levels low enough to create that kind of appearance. They would not have the energy afterwards to serve Gotham. A fighter [2] or soldier [3] like Batman would prefer to build up "functional" muscle that will be useful in combat, and maintain much greater body fat levels to provide energy reserves in tough situations. Is Batman "offensive," or is exaggeration a basic element of art?

To add to the other comment, your idea ignores the history of speed limits and how they aren’t just for safety. For example how the highways were reduced to 55mph during the 70s oil crisis as an indirect way to ration gasoline. Or how small towns will lower sections of road for the specific purpose of creating a revenue-generating speed trap.
From the article:

> We hope that these high-quality code releases will be a catalyst to the research community and we will continue to update them from time to time.
This policy adjustment is in regard to a federal program that shared the seized proceeds with the state and local police that made the seizures using federal laws.

That is, the laws that were 'suspected' broken were federal laws, and properly the seized goods belonged to the feds. The feds then shared a large portion of that back to the state and local cops. They will no longer do so.

This removes a great deal of the incentive for locals to use federal laws for seizures.

Many states require seizures go into the state general fund, so there's no incentive there for cops to overstep, at least not financial incentives.

So in theory this should result in a pretty big reduction in unwarranted seizures.
That was years ago. Things have changed around there: https://github.com/facebook

That is exactly why I think one post per week and lack of global space is a great solution for a startup; it massively simplifies spam and other hostile content early detection and removal.
This is why the first thing you do with a windows machine -- assuming you like windows -- is wipe it and configure it yourself. Manufactures cannot be trusted with your configuration.
Another interesting question is, what if we could wipe out all viruses? What would go wrong? I suspect that we know relatively little about the systemic role of viruses in the biosphere. It's imaginable that they play a pervasive role in the gradual transformation of the world's genetic code.
One reason of not documenting is when something is expected to change rapidly and break in the next version anyway.
An organization people had never heard of asked them to install a browser plugin, and they declined like they should.

Kids have a different relationship with time. As a kid who was intrinsically interested in programming, 1.5 hours was a joke and a non-starter. I didn't really feel comfortable doing any coding until I could secure 2-3 hours of time for it, and I would easily spend 8+ hours on the rare days when my parents were otherwise engaged and didn't call me away to do other things.
We have to hope for a real vaccine offer and behave responsibly.
