Well, there are good reason for selling stuff under-cost if the loss can be more than made-up for in other charges. Doing this is as old as retail itself-- a "sale" in the retail world. In the restaurant business under-cost prices for a particular item can get more people in the door who then buy drinks, appetizers and other menu items while enjoying the great deal of a $20 chicken. That's easier said than done, of course.
Use an OS that doesn't attack you then. Ubuntu with i3 and I never see a single OS screen. On a 34" wide monitor it's editor, terminal, browser. Pixel edge to pixel edge. No fluff. No bullshit. No battling window sizing. It's like focus mode, only with more windows :)
Maybe the actual password dialogue could contain some kind of visual code, like the one on paper money. Then the OS could detect when a fake password input is shown to the user, just like copy machines detect it when you put a bank note in the scanner.

One thing that really fascinates me is that stupidity is one of the few genetic handicaps that society considers acceptable to criticize and blame people for.

If a person gets hit by a bus because they have some muscular disorder which causes them to fall in front of it, we would have nothing but sympathy for them. If they get hit by a bus because they're too stupid to remember to look for traffic, most people would criticize them harshly for being stupid.

What's really amazing is that there's a cutoff point. If someone has an IQ of 90, you can blame them for all their stupid actions. I'd go so far as to say that not only can you, but it's expected. But if the person has an IQ of 70 suddenly everything changes, people become sympathetic, and blaming them for their own stupidity is super taboo.

To be clear, I'm not trying to pretend that I'm superior in this respect. I do this just like most of the people I see. But when I start thinking about it, I really can't figure out how it makes any sense.
I'm flexibily minimalist with my setup and I don't miss big screens for programming work. I did lots of development on a 12" Surface Pro (although for small setups, I like 13").

Terminal/editor/browser are areas one doesn't work on at the same time, so windows switching does the job, at the condition of having only the strictly required windows opened (I have four: browser, email client, terminal, and editor), and even the browser has generally at most 2 or 3 tabs open.

I can see the convenience of having a log open while debugging, but I can live with terminal tab switching while having a REPL session.

System administration is different. It may be almost necessary at times, to have an individual look at several systems at the same time.

The automation of vehicles is taken to strongly imply robotic devices elsewhere in society.

Apart from more sophisticated robot hoovers, lawn mowers I don't think that is necessarily so.

Hoovers and mowers are safe because they are small, light, low to the ground and constrained to floors and lawns.

Vehicles, fast, heavy, high, are in a controlled environment.

Other controlled enviroments like factories have already ventured into robotics.

It seems to me that main advantages of automated movement would exist in unstructured environments like streets, shops. The robots I've seen so far have low center of gravity, are heavy so as to inhibit any danger.

What exactly does automated driving do for other unstructured environments?

It is far from clear to me that this is going to be a trifle soon after the roads swarm with autos.

The landlord may or may not be a dick. I'd like to see some more on that chain story (because I'm really curious about the specifics physically) and the general statement about unpermitted work.

The hype machine thing you mentioned might be the real deal. As far as I can tell chef's food wasn't remarkable for Portland. His highlight pic was a french onion soup and a steak tartar, not even plated well. The rest of the atmos looked like snippets from "How to be Portland" magazine. They said "Keep Portland Weird" but that brand has been bought and sold and done with since Death Cab for Cutie had that song about answering machines.

It might be good food, it might be expensive, but man... Portland basically invented what we think of as the modern 'foodie' dickweed.

I'm not sure that any place that doesn't have extremely deep pockets isn't dealing with a landlord that wouldn't try some chain foundation voodoo, or even like real deal fraud, and chef still gotta survive plus overdeliver world class dining experience if he wants to be heard.
Nice writeup.

I also live in a vehicle. I have a 25ft (7.6m) former airport shuttle bus I've converted to my home. It took me over six months of full time work and it's still not complete.

I've lived in it for a bit over four months. Overall it has been good but not without challenges. I'm currently busy working which has led to neglecting stuff I need to finish on the bus. I can't travel far until I finish these things.

Here are some recommendations and tips if you're considering this life:

* If you haven't spent time camping in a vehicle rent one for at least a week and try that first. It's not exactly the same but similar.

* Don't jump in blindly. Do significant research into what others have done, what works and what doesn't, etc.

* If you decide to build something yourself expect it to take at least twice as long and cost 50% more than you plan.

* Evaluate if it makes sense to do the build yourself. I wanted to build something physical instead of just writing code. Financially it would have made more sense for me to continue working full time and have a place like Sportsmobile do the build. I wouldn't have learned the skills and had the experience though.

Really enjoyed reading this. The process is really explained well including all the fun rabbit holes and unexpected pitfalls on launch day, and the technical steps to overcome.

Interesting limitations to work around such as vertical planes vs horizontal, and focal length.

Not at all surprised they saw better performance with almost immediate payback by training models on their own $1,200 hardware than running in the cloud.

Very interesting they trained their own character recognition model and not only that but built their own custom crowd-sourced image labeling system complete with accuracy checks and review screens.

Overall, fantastic write-up!

This is one situation in which I think that using grsec is absolutely the wrong choice. Grsec mitigates a lot of kernel bugs, but it also adds bugs.

This sounds like my wife and I three months ago. I had never personally experienced extreme anxiety, and when it came on to her full force I felt so helpless. It was completely debilitating, she couldn't just be.

We came to the conclusion that the root of her anxiety was work related, even though she had a mostly stress free job that paid well. Her boss was also very understanding of her situation, allowing her extra sick time, work from home, etc. I was reluctant to agree to let her quit, but quitting was the best decision we made.

This experience really shed a light on how shitty mental health resources can be. We live in Austin, and I couldn't believe how difficult it was for her to get an appointment that wasn't a month out and took our insurance. When you are suffering the last thing you want to hear is denial over and over again when trying to see a doctor. Thankfully we found someone through a family friend. Her quitting coupled with therapy has helped tremendously, we are in a much better place now.
> Just disable this feature and move on!

This implies that you're aware of the feature in the first place. One of the major points is that they don't make any sort of notice that telemetry was added in, turned on by default. There's a good example in the issue comment chain how Yeoman asks on first run if you want to send anonymous data.[1]

See, one of the reasons CSV managed to get so ubiquitous is precisely because all those things are unspecified. CSV is not a popular format; CSV is the name we give 960 visually similar but very different formats that as a collective are popular.

The thing you use CSV for is not it's technical merit. You use CSV for its ubiquity. If you nailed down all those things you talk about, you would have a much, much smaller user base and there would be no reason to use CSV in the first place.

I think the best way to resolve this is a hardware button that the user has to press.

So the dialog pops up and says "please press button then enter your password". User needs to press the button for the textbox to appear. This hardware button auto-closes whatever the active application if the active application is not the system dialog.

This way you have a hardware control verifying the dialog isn't a phishing attack.

Of course, attackers could mimic the dialog after the button had been pressed if it were a genuine dialog. But as long as you can train your users into only entering their password after they've pressed the button then hopefully most might realise something was amiss if requested for a password without the button press.

In what way do you think this supports your claims? What argument are you making here?
I used to work in third-party logistics and a big project of mine was an automated file import process, so folks could send us their daily/hourly orders for processing and fulfillment. I'd say roughly 65-70% of the entire code base was error handling and figuring out when to kick out a file for human review and/or outright deny it and contact the customer.

The hardest ones to work with were the mom and pop shops who suddenly had some success on Amazon and came to us after fulfilling out of their garage for a year and a half. Try telling a semi-retired 60 year old electrician in the middle of Iowa that the file he sent is worthless because none of the product codes match what you have, especially when once he closes the file he doesn't have any idea where it is.
I don't think so. I'm from Poland and I've spent a few years in Italy and the situation there is completely different - as in - much worse.

Comparing to the rest of Europe businesses in Poland pay relatively low taxes, youth unemployment is below the EU average and barely anybody can afford to turn down a job opportunity.
I get what you're saying, but "hola amigo" is a really bad example of it. There are 40 million Spanish speakers in the US and tens of millions more use Spanish phrases routinely as a personality quirk. "Hola" and "amigo" are both words that I'd expect most Americans to understand, and I wouldn't bat an eye if a CIA agent greeted my in that way, assuming the context wasn't too formal.

Maybe a better example would be... well, if they put their hand over their heart and said "salaam habibi" to an American scientist.
I largely agree with the article, with one caveat:

> ...we "just" have to specify the states and behaviors that are not safe and prevent the software from getting into those states.

In general, the number of ways how things can go south tends to infinity, while the desired outcomes are easier to enumerate. I think it would be safer and more feasible in most cases to identify states and behaviours that are valid than the other way round.
No it wasn't. The principle of Sola fide is a Protestant one. I suggest googling for that phrase if you're interested in learning more.

> Seems like the study is confusing cause/effect.

The article provides literally no context on which to base that judgment. The study could most certainly have been designed to (at least attempt to) disambiguate all of the issues you're talking about here. Everything you've mentioned is experimental design 101, these are routine things to take into account.

Of course, since the study (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/09/26/1701544114.abst...) is PNAS and not open-access, I also have no context to make any conclusions.
This is also an issue with in app web browsers. AFAIK an in app broswer's data can one way or another be completely accessed by the app containing the browser.

as an example, Tinder requires Facebook login. To do this it launches a WebView. it could be faking that view to get your Facebook credientials. it could also just get them direct from the WebView .

I know tons of apps depend on WebViews but I kind of wish there was a solution . maybe Apple only allowing the WebView to access certain domains and no 3rd party domains and then requiring the app to actually launch safari not use a WebView. Of course I suppose that doesn't help as the app can still display a fake Facebook login.
Can you prove the correctness of a sort function in the type system? I don't know any mainstream language where you can do that. You'd have to go to something like Agda, Idris, Coq or F* which are hardly practical languages (currently). Beyond that there's an entire universe of complexity that we have no idea how to prove (practically) in the type system. Haskell types encode simple properties. They're extremely useful properties in practice but they don't come anywhere near "everything" we would want to prove.

True, the scenario in which ctrl+alt+del would help is one in which only a limited account had been compromised, but the SYSTEM level winlogon keylogger allows you to do things like turn local admin into network admin and it certainly doesn't require kernel mode access.

Maybe $60 even. But the restaurant has to look and feel like the restaurant which serves $60 chicken.

> "dotnet restore" could be hitting a local repository only, which is much more common in these environments.

You have to do this as part of your configuration. Alongside that configuration, you can change a single environment variable to turn telemetry off.

> but things slip through the cracks

I don't see how negligence is a valid counterargument. You could use the external repository by mistake and do far more damage. Are you more likely to forget about the the telemetry opt-out? After all this fuss I doubt it.

The root comment also claims that Microsoft refuses to engage and allow the removal of it. The environment variable exists, Microsoft has clearly engaged and allowed the removal of it. This comment chain is FUD.

Finally, if you really care about privacy this much you should be building things from source. This applies to .NET Core as much as it applies to GCC. .NET Core is open source, so this is absolutely possible to do.

CSV is the source of so many problems. CSV has no character set, no rule for escaping double-quotation marks, commas, and newlines. There's not even a way to look at a CSV file and tell what it's "rules" are beyond heuristics and those only take you so far.

I ask for XLSX files since at least it's structured, unambiguous and documented, but even better: a minimal XLSX parser is trivial (about a page) to write.

Also: Educating users on how to specify the character set in every application that the user seems to want to use is a special kind of hell.

Just like Google's chrome, flutter, android sdk, etc. Just like apple osx, xcode, etc. Macromedia everything. the list goes on. Even mozilla who had it right now have so many telemetry modules that most ignore the main setting about it.

my point? I don't think I have any other than to highlight this is a lost cause and everyone should be eternally vigilant with everything :(
