Is there a good solution for a hardware-based TOTP, similar to RSA SecurID but for HMAC TOTP (RFC 4226) instead?
Is there any "free" or DIY hardware that can run OsmocomBB or a similar stack? AFAIK OsmocomBB only runs on certain old GSM phones.

Did anybody try to build a GSM (UMTS, LTE, ...) client, say, with a FPGA and a transceiver, or with a SDR? I know high-frequency stuff is not exactly DIY, but there should be some off-the-shelf generic hardware by now that would be able to run such a stack, I would think.

Android device manufactors are not solely hardware companies. Samsung surely is not, they do publish updates for some time, then they stop doing that. This is planned. As time progresses your device becomes less usable, not because of the hardware, but of the software and bugs/security issues within.

So if your (example) Samsung device gets updates for 2 years, then the planned obsolescence for that device is 2 years + a few months. The amount of months depends on the severity of the security issues discovered. Also, it may not be "planned" obsolescence, but it sure is "accepted" (from the vendors point) obsolescence. Which is even worse.

On a side note, as a customer I don't care about internal structures of companies. I want updates. If they can't deliver that, open source everything.

They're not anonymous, they're pseudoanonymous, which also means carrying a reputation; and if anyone tries to deceive, the community is not entirely full of idiots, unlike what a lot of others in this subthread seem to imply --- all it takes is for someone to find out and provide proof, and the news will spread widely.

The fact that people seem to be scared of and are basically unwilling to make their own decisions of trust in deference to central authorities says a lot about the state of society today... "distributed trust" and communual free sharing was the norm, until companies started to herd users into their walled gardens and control them by using the "security" argument.

It is. Which is why if you buy an iPhone you can use it for more than two years and still receive security updates, as opposed to Android.
Also from an SEO perspective, they could have bumped their domain authority even further by using the same domain - they now need to grow this new domain from square 1, and it's going to be hard, even for a large company like Github.
That option is about the same as it is today: you can access it, but it will be hard to follow. Just like minified Javascript.
If only security updates were unbundled from feature updates one could update with fewer worries.

I don’t think there is a single web site with human readable javascript on the web anymore.

Given that most implementation are flawed, and given the limited utility of this "feature", and given the inherent desire to sandbox thing on a browser, I would say the problem is the mindset of the developers who keep adding stuff that ends up exploited.
Window.opener isn’t your problem. Window.opener is sandboxed by CORS. And you need it for things such as oAuth.

Target=“_blank” is your problem. That’s where Window.opener gets exposed. You’re better off finding the “_blank” definition and renaming it so that it’s never triggered, or assigning it to the definition of “self”, etc.

A good occasion to watch Gary Bernhardt's talk "The Birth & Death of JavaScript" [0] again, where he talks about the precursor of WebAssembly: asm.js and the future implication it "could" have in the future in a really humorous way. A few years old but still relevant.

I'm glad to hear that, but I don't know how valid your assertion is when scrolling just a bit down the first page brings up commits from 2014. I went to file/upvote the search box issue a few weeks ago, and the 71 open issues weren't encouraging.

Then, I figured I'd learn Android development and submit a PR, but saw 15 open ones from years ago and figured the project was unlikely to ever merge my PR and just left.

In my defense, those signs don't scream "maintained project" to me.

Meaningless hyperbole - there are plenty. You're posting on one right now.
Life expectancy at birth in Africa is today just under 70 years. Which means they currently lag ~50 years after the most developed countries.

There are countries that do worse, but even in the most underdeveloped, war ravaged hell-holes in the world living past 5 is not an anomaly - as of 2012 even in sub-Saharan Africa the under 5 mortality rate was down below 100 per 1000 (though still awful - compare with 6 per 1000 for the most developed countries and a world average of 48), and even the very worst - Sierra Leone - was at 234 out of a 1000. Only a handful of countries are anywhere near 200, and only 16 above 100.

I agree with your overall point about focus, but exaggerating is not useful.
They are primarily targeting the cloud database market. There are many examples of non free software surviving just fine in this market. Both amazon and google run their own proprietary cloud databases like this.

Same. It seems to be a US thing. Coming from eastern Europe, I saw the school debate idea a few years ago in some movie and learned it's a serious sport thing only a month ago or so. (Where I also learned the competition level is pretty twisted / often relying on min/maxing rules)

It's definitely not a common concept. I've heard of chess boxing before this.
For example, some game developers like to adjust and tweak their game code, without having to trigger a full recompilation. The static compilation makes this scenario impractical, so they resort to embedding a scripting language into their game code to quickly iterate and tune their projects.

There is a programming language where every new expression causes incremental compilation and linking inherently, natively: it’s called Lisp.

Switch to andOTP, I did it last night and it's much better than FreeOTP (maintained, more features, supports backups natively). You can even migrate easily from FreeOTP using this short script I wrote:

Vue or angular 1 for frontend and PHP with laravel or slim fw for backend. I've tried many solutions but this is the best way to get shit done.
Red herring. People install or explicitly download code they want to run. The general public doesn't even realize that most web pages are full of code (js not html) and most developers have gotten so used to it they feel entitled. The goal should be to try harder to use less code, not enable native execution. I understand, engineers like to think about what is possible (wouldn't it be cool if..!) but sometime they need to check their ego and consider context.

The point, though, is that there is a whole lot of wealthy older people who can or do put money into research on aging related problems, exactly because it affects rich people too.

There is no danger that aging will be overlooked.
Great, time to port SWF to WebAssembly.
The runtime exception makes it possible that everything else is proprietary, locked and unchangeable. Which actually is okay for apps IMHO, because I would want to run proprietary software like games (sandboxed of course).

Not sure why you're being downvoted, that's likely the reason. Employee email addresses will be sent with @nationwide.co.uk and even if the communication in this case was important, enough people will mark it as spam. Using a second domain helps keeping the domain clean.

You do realize that e.g. the US spends approximately as much on the DHS (which is primarily borders+immigration stuff) as on the FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA and FBP (federal prisons) combined? And that's the US, which through history and geography has had the luck of relatively trivial borders?

Border control is a huge focus! It's also an almost impossible task, which is not something people want to hear.

It'd be easier to claim western countries spend too much on controlling their borders simply because all that cash doesn't seem to have had the desired effect, judging by popular opinion.
Honestly after a recent home renovation, I found myself a little envious I didn't take house building as a career. It's definitely skilled labor and in high demand.

It's not a "sexy" job - you'd be more likely to get a date telling someone you're a software developer than a plumber. But the low prestige of the job seems to make it worth .kre.
AWS isn’t exiting China, but did sell physical assets to comply with Chinese law
I agree in general. But if NATO is already there and dropping bombs, this would be the least of their crimes. You can`t go to war and expect to be all butterflies and fairies.

And btw, I am against NATO interventions all around the world. My own country was bombed by NATO (Yugoslavia), I know how it is having bombs drop on your city for months where they killed thousands of civilians in the middle of Europe. But if you pretend that you want to destroy ISIS, this was the clearest target of the whole war in Syria.

And I don`t buy it that women are by default innocent. Especially this kind of woman with this background. Yes, probably some were, but more probably many also did crimes. There were armed women who were doing bad things mentioned in the same article.

I mean, I am all against any war. Against foreign interventions all over the world where they politics see fit. But I am also sick of seeing the same interventionists killing civilians time and time again and then letting this convoy pass by the excuse that there were some innocent people there maybe. They don`t stand by their logic, that's all. Anyhow, they could have organized any other type of attack using heavy ground machinery and air support when they located (by the mentioned drones) parts of the group (after the convoy split) that is 100% (or let`s say 99%) terrorist that would mitigate civilian casualties. But whatever. Not that I have high hopes for NATO doing the right thing.
This is a very irresponsible comment. It's the kind of thing you hear from someone selling a get rich quick scheme; it sounds plausible, but it has less to do with the reasons given then having a greater pool of suckers to build on. Even a gambler who wins the lottery can make a story about how he knew which numbers to pick and that it was based on "unit economics and entrenchment".

I could try to describe the fallacy in general terms but I don't have to because your reasoning is obviously bullshit. Tesla has not made any money yet - they are still burning through billions a year financed by junk bonds. The value of Bitcoin is also almost wholly speculation; how could it be otherwise when it's limited to 7 slow, public, expensive, wasteful transactions per second. Both those assets could crash to zero next year.

So, yeah, you managed to get in at the top of some major bubbles, which could be called "intellectual" except you can't even identify the real reasons for your success. And in general this is not a healthy approach to finance because these assets don't make money - they just transfer it from later investors to earlier investors.
Obviously you didn't watch the video, since when ISIL fighters use Caugar Armored Vehicles? Even Iraqi army didnt have these.

github.community isn't. It sends you to github.com regardless, since their login is there. github.com sees you're already logged in, and redirects back, passing auth.
Same with the stigma that trading-schools are somehow worse then college. Pretty sure it comes from elitism that people in colleges have towards non-college grads.

Until wasm supports proper tail calls, only the ones with uninteresting control structures.

So intercept the convoy and fight them honorably, or whatever you believe is the better alternative. I hope you are not suggesting that they should just be getting a free pass because they brought their wives and kids in tow. At the very least track them and pick them out whenever the opportunity arises. It's not like the U.S. does not have any intelligence capabilities in the region.

I'll tell you what I believe: The U.S. has been in collusion with Saudi Arabia and their ISIS henchmen from the beginning, trying to use them as a tool to force a regime change in Syria and Iraq. This is why ISIS has been treated with kids gloves for the duration of the campaign, first in Iraq and later in Syria. It was shown that the supposedly intense bombing campaigns were mysteriously ineffective for years, both the British and the American ones, ISIS again and again happened upon stashes of cash and weapons, etc. etc. Too many weird coincidences to mention.

This will not be a difficult theory to consider for anyone with knowledge of history and the American modus operandi in foreign policy. But somehow you're a crackpot to challenge the official story. The mainstream media has been shown to selectively present news to support the official line, and occasionally lie, but people reel at the thought that there is another very different side to the story they get told. Government sponsored covert propaganda campaigns are exposed every other week, but people still buy the 'grassroots' reports from Twitter et al. It's sad but unforunately it may just be human nature to tend towards believing authority.
I find it very disappointing and would like to see the ad industry die in a fire :-(
> Yes, but that’s $100k worth of vesting per year based on the value at grant date. Very few situations exceed that in illiquid companies.

That's... not rare at all. For a company with a $5 million valuation, you only have to be offered 2% of the company in order to hit that cap. An early employee could easily hit that. And of course, as the company grows, it becomes easier and easier to hit that cap, because it's based on an absolute dollar value (the valuation of a company will always grow faster than the percentage offered will shrink - or to look at it another way, if it doesn't, you probably don't want to exercise those options anyway, so the conversation is moot).
ublock has a list to prevent "resource abuse", I believe it's enabled by default (it blocks things like coinhive & friends).
It was just a snippy remark hinting at the many people in this thread saying how great trade skills are, yet very few of them actually do a job like that. I mean, commenters here mention 'the social stigma' and how unfair it is - but being a plumber is just a, well, shit job. Construction work isn't fun, when it's your job, and you're not the boss. There's a reason all those middle and lower middle class parents tell their children to get a degree - it's because they want their children to do better than they do. Working a high-skill office job is in pretty much every way 'better' than doing somewhat-skilled things like, I don't know, garden maintenance or HVAC installation or operating a printing press. Yet here are all people commenting (from their cushy office jobs, probably) how great those sort or jobs are.

How many people here would tell their children 'yeah forget about that LSAT and MCAT, do a one-year part time course in swimming pool construction, much better!'? Very few, I'd reckon. What's good for the good is good for the gander, right?
Pretty sure you would not want your doctor to be w/o a proper degree.

This "racism" as you call it is perfectly applicable to some professions.
I think many startups try to sell their startups to their employees when they are hiring and want their employees believe on (buy) their products.

There are two cases
1- You are sure about the success then pay your employees with the similar and fare rate and enjoy the profit in future. If you don't pay engineers with the same rate you are the one who ask the engineers to work without giving any guarantee on their share in the future profit("Fuck you, pay me") .

2- You are not sure about the success or the journey is too risky and you are not sure about the profit then why should a poor engineer take the risk for your profit? Then you are the one who is unqualified, total scammer.
Yeah, I remember when iPhone changed ratio/screen size, and people scrambled to make their apps work. This is something a developer had to handle from day one on all other devices.
Come on, that's a strawman - you know that. It's not like there was a briefing with two options: mass murder, or let the bad guys retreat: pick one. Nor are the causes of "the whole mess" that trivially pinpointable.
Because computers don't come with an app store that contains tonnes of crapware. Even if they did, people would install a smaller variety of apps.
Thanks a lot. Never heard that one mentioned before. It will certainly go in my Amazon basket.
Couldn't the compiler take care of optimizing those when necessary? After all I don't know of any "real" assembly with tail call support...
99%+ of people don't think like you and don't care about the distinction between code on the browser and code on the OS.

"A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important issue. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences towards a false conclusion."

I don't see how my comment is a red herring. Computers are for running code. That's what they do. You said you don't want other people's code running on your computer. Bad news for you, that's all your computer does.
I don't mean to be personal, but I want to show you the other side of the table
> Otherwise you basically have no other options than to do an apprenticeship or a trade school after middle school.

Which is much better than doing nothing at all, or going for some useless degree in college that will take you to debt.

Not everyone is smart, I am one of those people (pretty dumb), it is fine.
Sendmsg copy avoidance with MSG_ZEROCOPY
I really like Haxe as a higher level typed language. My Nephew who is in his 20s has wanted to learn programming and he was able to go from "Hello World" to a decent 2D game he was thinking about for a few years in a few months working off and on.

Now my preferred method would have been him learning Racket with Realm of Racket and then Haxe but he was still able to get things done. He used HaxeDevelop and pretty much used Haxe like a flash replacement with OpenFL.
