This comment from a long-ago article [1] about saving many Usenet postings that would otherwise have been lost applies:

That’s why not only the very earliest Usenet posts, before Spencer started archiving in 1981 (Usenet began in 1979) but even some of the posts in the 1980s are still lost. It’s too bad; today, wouldn’t more of us rather see what was being said about abortion in 1984 than sift through the arcana of bug fixes in systems that have probably been long since retired? “It was perfectly reasonable from the viewpoint of stuff that we might want to use again, but a little sad from today’s viewpoint,” Spencer admits.

Who cares if it's old and boring? Making money is what you need to do as an entrepreneur (by improving your product and delivering more value), not playing around with various "sexy" technologies. I would write something in COBOL if it made sense to do (i.e. faster, more efficient, w/e)

Personally I don't really enjoy the development work on the "for profit" projects I build. I love seeing a finished product, though. Use the sexy untested tech for a "fun project", not a commercial one.
I saved you the trouble. The author writes about how the Golden Fleece award affected her research (http://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/the-golden-flee...). She receives at a lot of hate mail - some quite disturbing - and never again receives any more funding from NSF. However, she has had a prolific and distinguished career.

The paper in question is (http://www.elainehatfield.com/uploads/3/2/2/5/3225640/7._hat...) "A little bit about Love" by Hatfield, Elaine & Berscheid, Elaine (1974). It was "facilitated in part by NIMH grant MH 16661 and NSF grants GS 35157X and GS 30822X". It is mostly a review of scientific thinking of the topic at the time and is surprisingly readable and enlightening read.

That speed is quite enough to do audio processing - you can run Opus easily on those microcontrollers. Many other audio processing tasks are simpler. AC97 chips are basically DACs/ADCs, and do no audio processing themselves, so are a bad comparison.

However, while most Cortex-M chips have an I2S peripheral to integrate with an external DAC, the HiFive1 doesn't, which might cause some difficulties. Audio out can be implemented with the PWM peripheral, though.

Sure. The electoral college needs to go. Pointing to the popular vote can show reinforce how close the vote was. That said, the plurality winner in a system that uses the electoral college isn't by itself evidence that the same result would be obtained in an election without the electoral college.

Campaigns are run knowing the electoral votes are what matter. Voters vote knowing the electoral college is in place. We know some voters stay home because of the EC. We also know people trade votes because of the EC.

I repeat: I'm not arguing to keep the electoral college in place. I think it's highly likely it should be removed for a lot of other reasons (disproportionate elector/population ratios being a good one). I'm pushing back on the idea that we'd necessarily see the same result in an election without it.
We could get better at it. But it would require further investment in "politically correct environmental monitoring."

Isn't Autohotkey just echoing a text or running a script for an associated key combination? KDE has that built in (I think they call it khotkeys?). I'd be surprised if other DEs don't have similar?

IIRC Autohotkey makes an application from your hotkey choice that you then run (eg via autostart or using an icon) to instate the hotkey afresh every reboot.

To this end it seemed inferior to the KDE equivalent for me, but that could just be familiarity bias.

It looks like we're moving towards a solution (in a slow, jerky, shambling way) with replacing hardcoded boardfiles with device trees.

If RISC-V does this well out of the gate (like with IBM's old school Open Firmware) and has great shiny device tree support, I think we might end up like x86 -- where a single thumbdrive can boot almost any x86 machine under the sun.
This may be related to Scott McCloud's analysis of comic frame transitions in Understanding Comics [0]. I don't have my copy in front of me, but from memory he observed that Japanese manga has a much larger amount of aspect-to-aspect transitions, whereas traditional American super hero comics are more heavily saturated in action-to-action and subject-to-subject.

Case-insensivity is important for some to be able to reliably remember a string. I won't easily retain the difference between 'b4dQbFs31' and 'b4DqBfs31'.

Same thing when speaking it out loud. 'B four D capital Q B capital F s thirty-one' is way more convoluted and error-prone than 'B four D Q B F S thirty-one'.

The best thing I've found that fits this criterion is Crockford's Base 32 [1], basically the extension of hex digits, removing letters ILOU.

But Base 32 (case-insensitivity by proxy) constrains us to 5 bits, which is only a 20% reduction over the 4 bits of base 16. So instead of the 20 bits `1ab2f` we could express them with something like `1qm3`.

Or we could be using words...

> And why would game companies want to kill streaming?

Never underestimate the power of human greed. Apple (with iTunes) has proved that the availability of unprotected content doesn't hurt the bottom line, and when I go into a store today and buy a physical CD-ROM it more often than not lacks any copy protection. And this has been the situation for years.

Meanwhile, the movie industry is soundly asleep at the wheel and its execs don't recognize that the consumer demands (near-instant access, no copy protection, no unskippable FBI warnings, no unskippable teasers, and no freaking region lock) have greatly diverged from their offerings. Or they do recognize, but cannot change their existing contracts or whatever - in this case the entire industry deserves a burn-to-the-ground event, because the situation ain't going to be fixed otherwise.

And for the game companies: there are already companies taking down "let's play" videos. Need for "absolute control", I guess. And they still haven't stopped putting retarded DRM (including what basically amounts to rootkits, in the form of anti-cheat stuff) into their games.

Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows have done a great job of hiding the fact that it's using virtualization from users (but doesn't need graphics, of course)

There are a quite a few open source pub/sub solutions which handle connection state recovery, authentication, encryption, in-order-and-exactly-once delivery, auto-scalability (on Kubertetes or Swarm)... And they give you even more flexibility than what you can get from a third-party service (which give you limited or no ability to customize back-end logic).

There might be a few minor features which the third-party service might have which the open source solution doesn't have; but you can always extend the open source solution to have those features; this not the case with the third-party service; in that case you're stuck with whatever features are being offered by the service...

For example, if your product requires that you have longer channel names, a more lightweight protocol, ability to batch messages together in a particular way, transform or filter or analyse data streams on the backend as they arrive, apply advanced authorization rules on the backend or to integrate directly with data from your own database... you need an open source solution.

I would say that the argument for using third-party pub/sub services is the opposite of the one you made; it's good for simple projects which have limited requirements, but not good for larger companies with more advanced requirements.

The ESP8266 and ESP32 have a very similar memory mapped quad-SPI setup. The (older, cheaper, more limited) ESP8266 is probably the most similar in terms of peripheral set etc, though that obviously still has more RAM, WiFi, I2C and I2S which this lacks.

Using elixir was refreshing and right now I'm using it for almost all my side projects/prototypes.

For many sites, the entire site is often delayed because of pictures, or gets several layout events as the pictures trickle through (or, they never do, and it's not always clear if there should or shouldn't be an image).

You are saying it, like they just happen to work at FoxConn and decided to do it at their workplace and the environment plays no role in it. But that's not how humans work, environment is the key. And Amazon, just like FoxConn, is absolutely the one to blame.

Honestly? Many things:

-It's tricky for a non-technical user to setup

-It disrupts their regular workflow

-People get frustrated with speeds of Tor etc

-People get frustrated with Captcha (Dam Cloudflare!) and other things caused by using Tor in a safe manner.

-People get annoyed as it doesn't solve their problems and exposure on mobile

-You have to restart to run it

-They can't run their regular programs on it - MS Office, Outlook, Adobe, etc.

-It's Linux based, so a big mental jump for most people coming from Windows (or most people not at the command line on OS X)

-It's hard to access files on other drives

-Documentation and TAILS is only available in certain languages

-It often has driver problems - e.g Macbook Pro 2015 WIFI issues

-In developing states, computer literacy is low, so anything other than the norm (Windows) is confusing

-In developing states, hardware tends to be slow (often counterfeit) so running TAILS in RAM is slow

-People lose the USB sticks they put TAILS on (also many counterfeits, so they often fail or have a false size)

-TAILS often requires training, which not everyone has access to

-Skills fade for digital security training with journalists/activists is often quite high, especially if they don't need it that often.

-the list goes on............

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great (as is Qubes, Subgraph etc) but we need to be realistic about it's limitations for the majority of people. Especially if we want to be sensible and try to tailor advice, training and tools to their realistic threat models.

As much as I love Mozilla and their philosophy, it has to be said that - if you have any sort of worries about security - using Firefox is a bad choice and borderline reckless.

It lacks even basic exploit mitigations that other browser have had for years now (most importantly a feature-complete sandbox).

Right now, Firefox is just a single process with zero separation of privileges. Any bug in the rendering code is a potential RCE. Writing exploits for Firefox vulnerabilities is well within a strong amateur's reach and this headline does not surprise me at all.

This is a (probably incomplete) list of all public exploits in the past three years:

- 2013/08: XPCOM RCE (https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/m...)

- 2013/08: __exposedProps__ (https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/m...)

- 2014/03: WebIDL RCE (https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/m...)

- 2015/03: PDF.js RCE (https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master/m...)

- 2015/08: The file stealing exploit: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/08/06/firefox-exploit...

- [The FBI exploit (2016-ish)]

- This one.

Publicly known as in, with a fully functional Metasploit exploit, and most of them through JavaScript, so 100% reliable. ASLR isn't going to help with interpreter bugs. This is 90s level bad!

And those are just the publicly known ones. With a code base as large as Firefox, it'd be foolish to assume to assume that there aren't any private 0days. Just take a look at this list:

https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-452/...

Even Microsoft Edge is better at this.

Project Electrolysis is a step in the right direction, but it will take a LONG time to mature. Last time I checked, it was just for process separation and did not provide any security guarantees. Chromium had a fair bit of sandbox escapes during the first years, and there's no reason to believe this is going to be different with Firefox. If have high hopes for their Rust re-implementation, but that's not going to be usable any sooner.

In the meantime, there's nothing like Chrome/Chromium security-wise. Not even close.

When was the last time there was a reliable, public Chrome exploit with a sandbox escape? The only one I can think of was the Hacking Team exploit, which used a Windows kernel 0day to escape the sandbox.

Chrome's security team is probably the strongest in the industry and they poured an absurd amount of effort into Chrome's security. And it being open source means that I can use without worrying about backdoors or data leakage.

VMs are all nice and that but if the exploit can compromise the TBB it's too late already, sandboxing needs to happen in the browser on Linux you can use namespaces + strict seccomp rules but don't know what one would use for Windows.
First priority would be to sandbox the browser and work your way down if you want to sandbox more stuff.
For Windows EMET can help to prevent certain exploits I guess but yea a browser that can access anything on the filesystem & system calls is badstuff.
Yeah, the ML is still in it's infancy, so we're almost in that cold-start right now. To address that, I built in some more randomness into the algorithm so the initial logo designs can just get the user thinking and then we can get a better sense of their taste as they favorite logos. Without that randomness, the algorithm tries and fails horribly at creating logos.

I would love to analyze 'good' logos. I would imagine it's realllllyyy hard to analyze actual pixels. We just analyze actions and pre-created objects (ie. a font choice).
