He didn’t mean the outcome (murder), terrorize is probably better word than a prank tho.

What I meant is that “oh I didn’t mean it” going to be interpretted differently.

Edit: if you downvote me thinking that I somehow support prank swatters - you are wrong. Otherwise you fail to see the paradox of intended vs unintended outcomes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea (as I understand it's interpreted very different in the US).
They nevertheless shipped their core product with a completely broken core feature. I am not sold on this software as a service/the OS is in permanent beta approach.

In general I have an even bigger problem with the philosophy of what an OS should do. When I switch on my computer, it's not to admire the OS, its beautiful UI, etc. It is because I want to do something, code something, watch something, read something. I live in the applications not in the OS. The OS should be effortless, surprise-less, it should hide behind and do its basic tasks well. Windows 10 is the exact opposite. It's an OS that is in your face, which interrupts you with full screen banners all the time, which reboots you all the time, which shows you ads, shows you modal pop ups to tell you to do things differently, etc. This is not what we need an OS to do.

> do literally anything else other than engineering

That is incredibly aggressive advice. I'd imagine you have to have a pretty bad experience to suggest something like that.

That said, as tech continues to go more and more mainstream, the "4chan boys club" is broken up and diluted continually, and each successive cohort has it a little bit easier. This is social progress and something worth pushing for.

It's fine to say something isn't for you or a point in time sucks, but the blanket advice against encouraging women in engineering is misplaced.
It could be that there were no "oopsie" messages coded into the system and they didn't have an easy way to send a newly written message out. If it's designed to be used with canned messages, it might take some time to work out how to put a new one in...
The duck and cover thing I thik it was more to escape from things like glass and debris throw away by a explosion. Of course, if you were close of the explosion wold make litle sense,but the after shock can hurt lots of people.
A big fat "Are you really sure?" confirmation box would seem to be the absolute minimum requirement here...
The consequences of the error matter to the extent that the consequences of the error are predictably extreme.

I'll give an example. I work in an office building with many floors that have exact same layout. One day I was on a floor that wasn't mine, and went to where my desk should be, and tried to sit down. I was shocked, for a moment, to discover my coworkers had all been replaced by strangers. In this case, I made an absentminded mistake of not paying enough attention to my current location - but the consequences were trivial, so the mistake itself is no big deal. Now, on the other hand, suppose while driving down the road, I absentmindedly ignore a red light, plow through an intersection, and kill a family of five. This is also an absent minded mistake, but the predictable consequences of being absent minded while driving are a lot more extreme than being absent minded while walking about an office building.

To apply the logic of my example to the case at hand - imagine that in one scenario an employee is, during a boring moment, cleaning his keyboard with his chat application open. This results in that employee sending a nonsense message to a coworker. Silly mistake, and no big deal. Now, suppose that same employee has the "Missile Alert" app open and decides to clean their keyboard. This is a similar mistake, but with potentially bigger consequences. I think it's fair to treat these two actions differently.
Whomever controls DNS controls Web PKI. True or false?

Please explain your answer.

You may assume "controls DNS" means potential control over delivery or content of unencrypted DNS packets, e.g. the operator of a parent nameserver, the operator of an open resolver, a delegated authoritative nameserver (e.g., Cloudflare), someone else intercepting and modifying packets, etc.

Rephrased question: In what ways, if any, is Web PKI dependent on DNS?
Ah, my bad. I figured the /prep/ guide and the /gcnc/ guide were distinct, but I see how you could take it a different way.
We actually tested cuckoo hashing against learned hash-maps and in our setup it was slower. One of the main reasons is that cuckoo hashing is quite sensitive to the payload and we used a scenario were we actually assumed records with meta-data fields as used by many systems at Google. We will update our technical report soon to include those comparisons as well.

However, we do agree with the authors of the blog post, that there are cases in which traditional data structures will remain the best choice and as so often, it always depends. In addition, it might be possible to combine learned models with cuckoo hashing, so those are not even exclusive ideas.

Preface: I am a dinosaur. I know I'm a dinosaur, with a tiny dinosaur brain.

But I couldn't help but wonder as I read this whether much of the complexity of the JS ecosystem isn't a consequence of the fact that whatever Node.js uses isn't really javascript. It's apparently a fork of javascript that has includes and is intended to run natively.

Now, modern javascript packages for the web also use includes because it's part of NPM and the Node ecosystem. And as a result, there has to be a transpiling/build step to convert "Node" javascript to "frontend" javascript, or some other language to frontend javascript.

But, to me, includes shouldn't be part of the "code", because they aren't really part of the language - that should be separated to the packaging directives and handled entirely by the package manager. Javascript package management meant for the web would just pull in javascript, maybe minify it, and dump it into a file. No need for transpiling, building or webpacking.

Although I suppose you could if you wanted to, but that should be the exception, not the norm. But, no. We have to have a million packages written in pseudo-js or typescript or coffeescript with a single function each and a separate test suite and build step for each.

I appreciate that the modern JS ecosystem works, and works well for many people, but... I still feel like it doesn't need to be as complicated as it is. It could be much, much simpler and still be better than just pasting in script tags. Not that there's anything wrong with that. In the end, that's what happens anyway.

Sometimes the ways of the warmbloods confuse and infuriate me.
Other than in scenarios where use cases requires use in conditions outside of iphones limited operating range (iPhones don’t like cold), I’m not aware of any large enterprise standardized on Android. I can think of a dozen on iOS.

The devices that my teams support on Android need 3-5 agents or other tools to meet compliance requirements.

I'm aware that he said that, and that may be the actual explanation (let's hope so), but even then there is work to be done - maybe adding authentication or confirmation to it etc. That said, this is a situation where if it were more serious (someone hacked in, for example), they'd almost certainly lie about it.
You would think access to basic rights like food and water could be guaranteed in one of the wealthiest countries in history, where an estimated 40% of food produced goes to waste.

Instead I so often hear people and politicians rail against WIC, food stamps, and free school lunches. As if $150 month for groceries or letting infants and school children not starve is somehow too generous. We must punish people for being poor.

They definitely support issuewild now, but annoyingly will inject their own extremely broad CAA records into your zone unless you go into a different UI and hit "Disable Universal SSL" down the bottom of the page, even if you don't use their proxy service. I tried submitting feedback about this but I assume it got ignored by the support rep.

Not a huge fan of the CAA UI. I would prefer the option to enter the RRs in a raw format (like TXT records), even if it's not the default UI.

In that case, the answer to your question is that there is no answer, that there can never be an answer (unless God tells us) and that there does not need to be an answer.

If God really made it so that it's impossible to tell that they are not 4.7 billion years old, then it is simply impossible to tell so, hence there can be no answer.

And there does not need to be an answer, because if there really is no way to tell that they are not 4.7 billion years old, then by definition there cannot be any situation where it would make a difference. So, it's perfectly valid to just state that they are 4.7 billion years old.

I am in fact atheist, this is the viewpoint that I have from the discussion whether maybe our entire universe is just a computer simulation ran by some alien race or such.

If we talk about it with the religious tangent, there's of course further questions: Some people interpret the Bible to contain an age of the universe. So, is that interpretation of the Bible wrong or not? And if it's not, why would God want to trick us with those rocks? Did he create the universe some few thousand years ago, but thought it'd be a more interesting world, if there was some backstory to it? So, does he want us to explore this backstory? Or is it a test of your faith in the Bible? ...which to my knowledge really doesn't state a concrete date for creation, so at least to me that'd be strange.

/u/jaredly, thanks for posting, this is really exciting! I've been reading about Reason here and there, and I've always wanted to write a simple game.

At the app/game level, is there any platform-specific code? Or is it all in src? And to clarify, the big news here is cutting down on the yak-shaving with the cross-compilers and build systems right? Does it enforce any conventions on the code? Did you use any frameworks to create the game itself?

The Egyptian and Babylonian religions of antiquity were dedicated to maintaining the status quo and they did so for centuries. They did this by carefully guarding who was allowed to have access to sacred knowledge to control who had power in their hierarchical societies.

Those with access to specialized knowledge had to be limited in number and properly initiated. Unfortunately, it seems like this pattern of social organization in which knowledge is jelously guarded and only available to the vetted privileged few is a very durable pattern in the organization of human civilizations.

Or gardens. They have the time to tend a garden and feed chickens and collect eggs.

I'm guessing a third party has a fat contract to provide bad food.
That's a rather odd way of describing Websockets. XMLHttpRequest fits your description equally well.

Websockets don't inherently allow anything that isn't possible with other technologies. What they do is make certain data transfer patterns more efficient by removing the need for polling, or for redundant HTTP requests.
I have reasons. For example, I need to have as few instructions between a JNI call and the next line (I am starting a SingleStep JVMTI callback as part of my development on a fuzzer) and those intrinsics don't help. It's gotten to the point on my advanced JVM projects where I have to just drop into Java all the time to avoid this stuff, get the proper MethodHandle.invokeExact semantics, etc, etc.

I'm tired of being surprised by the bytecode that Kotlin generates. You could argue javac has some magic too, but not near as much and it's pretty well spelled out whereas you won't find the docs for all of these intrinsics.

It's even worse when things just get dismissed as "I feel like it's better" and then when you provide reasons people will say it's not normal. Languages (and their proponents) should not treat the end user (i.e. the dev) like they are stupid, or at least give them the option to turn things off. The trade-off of hiding this stuff is not worth it...it's more like it's the language people doing the "I feel like it's better".
Because that's how it is here (Russia). It's wide spread scheme - crime groups "cover" some territory (usually where there's a lot of walk traffic) and take money from all the beggars which stay on that territory.

Here you can see how beggar gives money to his criminal supervisor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TrRI1QyQ8g

There's a lot of info about it on youtube, but it's mostly in Russian. Beggars in good places can get 2-3 average salaries per month and most of those money goes to criminals. It's really ugly criminal business. As an example - there's such thing as "renting" small babies - because women with babies can gather more money. They drug babies so they would lie still in the hand of beggar women. So giving money to beggars is often same as giving funds to criminals here.
> Null checks are effectively free on the JVM

I don't want the bytecodes added. I have tracing I am doing and I need more predictable instructions. It's not just a performance issue.

Also, you should not assume cost of a JVM implementation of things based on your empirical evidence from a single, popular VM. For example, how does TeaVM translate it?
You thank them for preventing the system from going down. Not for taking it down.

But yes, if you performed well and the mistake was not to blame on you, that's not your fault.

Still, an easy-mistake (user error caused by software (UX) defect) is a tad harder to place. Of course procedure shouldn't allow easy-errors, but that doesn't quite excuse making one.

Also, as a company Google failed for a good 6 minutes. Since the one executing the flawed procedure was the one best positioned to notice, they carry a tad more responsibility than the rest of the org. But really, mostly the executives look bad after such an event, as they have the supreme responsibility.
iCloud Keychain may be surprising for some folks. For example, it can be restored from an iCloud backup only to the same machine. Also, you have no ability to recover your iCloud keychain from your own time machine backups.

The reasons, as the document outlines, are for added security. But, having recently wiped my iCloud keychain by resetting Safari's privacy settings and inadvertently loosing all my passwords, I was surprised to discover that I couldn't restore my passwords from my own backups. The upside is a compromised iCloud password doesn't also leak all the keychain passwords.

I'm not trying to establish the origin of this narrative; but most people on HN were almost certainly exposed it through pop cultural portrayals of the nuclear apocalypse.

In some cases, these were inaccurate simply because it resulted in a better movie or a novel; but in many other cases, they were probably informed by anti-war or anti-proliferation sentiments. I don't think this deserves any special ire, TBH; it's just our reality. I loved Dr. Strangelove, but it sure affected public perception in a particular way.

Honestly, I cant possibly trust Apple to always do the right thing. A corner stone of digital privacy and security is being in control of your systems and data which Apple takes away from its customers. When I buy and use Apple products - I have to have faith in Apple to do nothing wrong with my data or send me a malicious update that compromises my system.

For a user who doesn't have the foggiest idea about technology, to whom the whole thing is "magic," why isn't this rational? Do you closely examine the safety of chemicals in all of your cleaning products, household items, clothes, your car, and the devices in your home? For most people, probably no more than in a cursory sense, as it's not normally one's area of expertise.

We have to "outsource" many aspects of daily life to experts.

The core of understanding all information security questions is understanding and internalizing “reflections on trusting trust”.

For most values of “me” as a customer, it’s in Apple’s interest to behave as they advertise. They can stray due to government or other action, but so can any party you trust.
Honest question: what advantages does it have over npm? As far as I see, the only cool feature is the license check.

That depends on what you exactly mean by "controller". The hardware controller typicaly has capability of exposing selected pixels to essentially arbitrary voltage level for specified amount of time and the framebuffer abstraction happens on the driver level.
I did specifically say "because of optics." Certainly, I don't think there shouldn't be different expectations for acceptable errors under different circumstances.

Of course, the circumstances affect what the reasonable standard of care is. Oopsies by ship captains, surgeons, and even drivers are held to a different standard than me making a typo on some random thing I'm writing or a simple program.

In your example, running a red light is commonly taken as one of those things you just don't screw up on (and that can't be eliminated through automation at this time).

I think giving a large payment (bribe to go quietly) sends all the wrong signals. It shows you are weak (can't handle conflict) and it destroys morale by showing that those that leave are valued more than those that stay.

If you want to take out the risk of joining a startup then give a large hiring bonus instead. This rewards everyone and shifts the risk onto the managers rather than the employees.
A great business differentiator, and something that could be much easier to execute at Apple (due to them controlling the whole stack) would be to create a fully trusted platform.

That is, design all hardware and software in-house, and use formal methods (theorem proving, program analysis and model checking) to verify everything. Furthermore, adopt a Qubes-like architecture where external untrusted applications can be run in an isolated way.
