It surprises me to read that paywalls without workarounds are banned - I've just glanced through the guidelines but haven't seen it mentioned, perhaps there's a submission-specific guideline set I'm not aware of? I rarely submit content

>It would be awesome if your replies in this thread were constructive and educational.

I am aware that my replies have been brief, but WP is not a project I particularly want to defend and sadly nobody is paying me to do so.

>without further clarification or evidence

I would expect that the people making the claim about this serious new vulnerability should be the ones substantiating that claim.

Anyone who's ever ran a wordpress website should immediately know this is bullshit. It all sums up to "wordpress is really slow, this script is not particularly slow, other parts of wordpress are significantly slower".

Then there's the bunch of people telling you to restrict access to wp-admin... This is terrible advice and will break non-admin stuff that lives within wp-admin.
There was a more recent study about insects in Europe confirming your assumption.

Curious. Wasn't Steve Jobs somewhat infamous for classifying everything as either "the greatest thing ever!" or "shit"?

Jobs as Bayesian classifier! Depending on the corpus, that could be very amusing.
In my case, these are some of them:
1.Many utility bots(including those admin bots to manage large groups if you have groups). Some examples of these bots are @gif @imdb @bing etc to instantly share gifs, movie ratings and images respectively.
2.No sharing of phone numbers with unknown people. Username handles will help to connect with anyone. Can chat with any of the members in the group (among 100000 people) without fearing lose of your number unless you chose to share.
3.Can download movies, songs, and videos from different channels and groups where they are shared. There are bots which can aggregate the search results from many channels to get them at one place.
4.I get those hackernews posts which gets more than 100 points in a channel.
5.Feed reader bots which get me feeds from my favourite websites.
6.Unlimited cloud storage. You could save movies,songs, pdfs,apps or anything you want there unless they don't exceed 1.5gb size per file.
7.Global search among the chats you have including groups, bots, channels and personal chats.
8. There are many niche groups or channels. Like programming, web development, crypto, reddit, regional, and not to mention porn too.
Sadly the workspaces are very much mouse oriented (want to switch between workspaces? Thats win+ctrl+number!).

And there is no proper UI element for checking if you have anything open in a different workspace without opening the switcher.
No citation, but IIRC the tinc 1.0 branch has little/no protection against replay attacks, at least in UDP mode.

I recall the 1.1 branch improving the protocol in this regard, though it's been a long time since I looked, and I can't vouch for its overall security. I'm surprised it hasn't been officially released yet; the branch was cut over a decade ago! (Also a little annoyed; I contributed improvements to tincctl back then, and they still haven't been released...)
Well, sure, on a few of them. And then what? Could be quite a leap for single-celled organisms to evolve into something resembling a flying insect. Given how successful insects have been on our planet, why would life evolve into anything more complex?

I'm actually not too worried that we're the only example of life in the universe. Instead I'm more worried that the galaxy is filled with planets containing nothing but slime mold.

It would be pretty trippy to think about. A planet not unlike our own in terms of atmosphere, water content, temperature, etc, and it's all slime mold. Entire mountains, covered in mold. Rolling hills of mold. Valleys thick with mold. Mold everywhere.

Ours may very well be the only planet in the universe where life evolved to one day ponder the possibility of a universe filled with mold. Multiverses and Moldyverses.

So, who knows, we may take it upon ourselves to spread life and make the universe less moldy.
Perhaps I am looking for an opportunity to express even more gratitude, considering the OP could be committing an actual crime to bring us content :)

Or, I am curious why the OP is willing to take this risk for us.

Really, though, I am just curious if I would get in trouble for doing the same down the line ;)

Not OP but these are my reasons if you're interested.

I've been using Rockbox for more than 10 years and know the interface by heart (there was one occasion where the screen broke on a player but I could still use it perfectly fine, by counting the button presses) so one part is just simple habit.

There is no personal information on the device, so there is no need to lock it and for me to try and unlock it in a hurry and if I lose it it's only annoying.

I really like the physical buttons, I don't have to look at the thing to do stuff (yes, there are other solutions to this).

Battery life is usually excellent.

At the moment I'm using a SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip. Once that thing breaks I'll probably just use my streaming server (via airsonic) on my phone and yell at the touchscreen because I have no idea what dedicated player is still usable with rockbox (apart from the refurbished old ones).
HackMentalHealth 2018: “The Movement Has Begun”
How do you know there's no relevant "workplace discrimination"? What if women are more likely to quit because customers are more likely to be jerks to women than to men (e.g. ask them to do illegal traffic maneuvers, eat in car, etc).
Not... really. The Donald/GamerGate/alt-right/troll factor has got immeasurably worse over the last 2 years.

They’ve done nothing about it - in fact seem to tacitly be ok with it (preferring the useless “leave them in their own space” approach that has kept failing for years)

Reddit is doing far far worse than even Twitter at combatting these issues. At least Twitter seems to be (kinda ineffectually) trying.

No worries! I guess I get people's reactions a little - they've heard so many vague plans about "maybe a Mars mission" that never pan out, so when the real thing arrives they're not ready to believe it's serious.
I've always wondered about this... if an EM field is composed of photons which have higher energy than light, how come I've never seen image/video captured where the device is 'glowing' or something as a photon source? Is there something I'm missing that prevents us from detecting them similar to the way we detect visible light?
It might be better to just call it version control for application states, rather than saying a "git-like CLI" for application states. When I hear "git-like CLI" I interpret that as "hard to use" and "confusing"
Is California ready for a Prop 13 overhaul? Initiative targets commercial RE
It seems like a good idea in theory but i'm not so sure it'd work in many environments in practice. If i understand it correctly, you're storing all the state such as files but there is state that is tied to that specific machine (ie. machine fqdn, machine-specifc filepaths) and you wouldn't want to apply that state on another machine. I guess you could do some data wrangling and .stateignore that stuff but it would require quite the effort on a large application that spans many components and many teams.

On a very small app, i can see the utility of dotmesh.

Is it just me, or has "definitely" become sort of subtly indefinite in modern language? Consider:

A) We should throw a party for him.
B) We should definitely throw a party for him.

A) We should get together soon.
B) We should definitely get together soon.

In each case, it seems like A is a call to action, whereas B is (for lack of a better term) more of a social expression which doesn't necessitate actually planning something right this moment. Or maybe I'm overthinking it.

> Try to get a client to agree to such a clause, especially when they've probably already decided the likelihood of not paying the developer at the time they are hiring them.

Seems to me like that's not a bad thing. If they're not planning on paying in full, you probably don't want to do any work for them. Better to find out sooner than later.
isnt 4 seconds still slow though?

when i say it takes 10 seconds i mean the screen is blank white for 10 seconds.

I think it's not as ridiculous as 10 secs but 4 seconds of blank white screen is not so much better...

It looks like they have a metering device that glows different colors based on the strength of the field detected. They then appear to be systematically moving the meter across a grid with time lapse photography. The lights photographed from different positions are blended together to create a voxel-like view of the field.
Ah, so Signal devs are aligned with the US government in the same manner that the Durovs are working for the Russian government?

See, for me it makes sense to link Telegram to Kremlin, as it's very obviously ran by Putins buddies.

If Signal devs are in a similar situation, it's certainly not nearly as obvious as with Telegram.
I was considering this but opted for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. The stylus is nice, and you can take quick notes directly on the lock screen. I'm writing this post with it and it's much nicer than a virtual keyboard.
I believe the purpose of life is joy. It comes from growth (ie learning, developing abilities, raising a happy family etc), and service to others (helping them grow or have happier lives), and from knowing one's life is pleasing to God (which can be personally known, it's not all that complicated nor needs to be argumentative). The things you'd want someone to talk about at your funeral. This belief is connected to a strong belief that life has a background, a purpose, is eternal, and growth can also be eternal (I'm a Mormon). I think much about maturity models for the various aspects of life, and how to use/share them. I have written some things about that (more to be added later I hope, just haven't got to posting it), somewhere buried under the features descriptions at http://onemodel.org . This life is hard, but very good, and the best is yet to come.
You seem sane.
Yep, a concept that MS-DOS inherited from UNIX, when they added directory support on MS-DOS 2.0.

However, even UNIX later adopted the folder designation for its GUI variations.

There are plenty of other examples of folder use, so it isn't something that Microsoft just decided to invent for Windows 95.

This is truly painful to read. Although the quality of English translation is quite commensurate with the Elbrus development process, mostly consisting of implementing Burroughs' architectures from the early 60-s.

It also repeats once again the old Russian canard that Pentium was named after Pentkovsky. And Babayan is known for... embellishing the truth, i.e. claiming to have built the first superscalar computer, never mind that CDC 6600 precedes it by 11 years.
> “think different, so long as it’s exactly how I am designing you to think”

That's Macintosh all over. "You're holding it wrong" is not a new failing of Apple, nor is it exclusively post-Jobs.

Jobs was just better at convincing people that, yes, they were holding it wrong.
>reddit's public perception had changed a lot in the last year

If this is true (and I don't believe it is), then they did a truly masterful job of scapegoating Ellen Pao and playing the PR game since her tenure.

That sounds like an exactly perfect fit for Substack. We've seen that if you have a committed newsletter following (look at open rates and reader comments) that loves it, up to 10% of your list might pay pretty quickly if you just asked them. Depending how they think they could price it could be worth over $1000 month to start. Of course, this depends on the audience etc.

If they want to do it, it's a simple as signing up, connecting Stripe, and importing the existing list. They can send out a 'free' post saying that the newsletter is going paid, and it will go to that list, and come baked with calls to action to subscribe and stuff.

We've done a couple of these now and would be happy to help. Feel free to point them to 'chris' or 'hamish' at substack.com
From the article:

> Reddit was in stronger shape, he said, claiming that it boosted revenue fivefold during the last three-plus years since he had re-engaged with the company. Reddit, which has been ranked as the fourth most popular U.S. internet site, raised $200 million last year and was in good hands with co-founder Steve Huffman as CEO, he said.

I'm not sure "failing" is the right term to use here. Just because you don't agree with the politics of many of the users doesn't mean that their communities aren’t successful and thriving. TheDonald's candidate was elected president after all...

Yes, this is interesting and worthwhile, but doesn't really change the crux of his argument.
> Reddit is doing far far worse than even Twitter at combatting these issues

Do you have a source for this claim? Genuine question. Searching Google Scholar for "flame wars" or "Twitter Reddit sentiment" failed to produce anything useful.
Yea, I'm aware - but you can spin off a async execution and then send data back over channels (I forget what Rust calls), as well as wrap that whole thing up in a function with a return value so that the caller has no idea of the threaded execution taking place. Right?

Sure the implementation of the threading differs greatly, but I was mainly referring to that I can spawn async behavior, and use synchronous blocking methods to get data back from that async behavior - AND encapsulate it.

All of these are very different than, say, what JavaScript goes through anytime async is involved.
I used CockroachDB for a university project, and while I think it looks very promising, I found the tooling and documentation to be a bit lacking. I wouldn't use it in production yet. However, when CockroachDB matures a bit I can really see it take off.
As much as I don’t want to bring that particular debate here, this comment reads like anyone with conservative politics is a troll to be silenced. As someone who doesn’t agree, please understand how offensive and unconstructive this statement is.
> especially when they've probably already decided the likelihood of not paying the developer at the time they are hiring them

if they're the sort of client who is planning at contract signing time to not pay, they're the kind of client you don't even want. who cares if they self-select out?

I used the Termius app to ssh into my usual Linux development workstation. It was hard to use, but got the job done.

It being a difficult task doesn't mean it isn't necessary. People have eventually learned, over time, all sorts of things that weren't particularly intuitive at first. The general population is now well aware that smoking is bad for you, even though it took literally hundreds of years to get to that point.

The sarcasm isn't even particularly witty, because no one is under any illusions that this is an easy task.

I think feeling constrained by what other people think of your fashion is very much a factor of your self-perception and the community around you.

I don't think people ridiculing others for their fashion choices is all that common past teenage years, but I may be wrong.

Looking at the subjects of this article, I don't get the feeling that they are dressing unfashionably - on the contrary, they are making extremely specific and thoughtful fashion choices, probably spending more time and thought on it than people that just go and grab whatever the latest thing is on Zara racks.

You may be surprised, but even grandma-old-style can be very fashionable. Fashion is very much about who is wearing it, why, and how. It may not matter as much "what" you're wearing, as "why" - like modern art in some ways.

Fashion is basically another non-verbal communication channel we humans use to signal a large number of clues to fellow members of the species.

Luckily that's no longer an issue now that interest has faded and the mempool has cleared. Also, reducing on-chain transactions (and thus keeping the mempool clear, on-chain fees low, and verification times low) is pretty much the main use case of Lightening Network. The massive rise in fees and tx congestion was caused by the massive interest in BTC at the end of 2017. Something tells me if you are doing B2B in a shady jurisdiction, the companies you are doing work with would be more than willing to jump through hoops to deal exclusively in BTC
That's laughable. We know for a fact the DNC was paying people to sit on Reddit all day long with talking points to sway public opinion. It's the failure of Reddit to be transparent about thier political goals. It's clear to anyone who isnt blind that in the last four years Reddit has been structurally attacked by the left and turned places like politics, world news, even conspiracy into liberal talking points.
I'm not OK with anyone taking the copyrighted work I use to make a living. Why would I be OK with the same happening to anyone else?

Nope, it is definetly possible to capture images in the non-visible spectrum. We simply need to convert them into the visible spectrum using some transform (usually just translation) so we can see them.

You probably have seen images like this, you just might not have realized. Many of the most beautiful astronomy photographs are actually captured in different spectrums. If you've ever seen a "thermal image" that is also non-visible photons.

The resource fork idea is great if everyone agrees on it and everyone preserves them, even across OSes.

Or if you're going to Very Deliberately Ignore the Other OSes and go do things your own way. VDIing like that seems to be a very Apple trait.

My point is, I'm not sure how well the resource fork model could have ever survived prolonged and sustained contact with the Internet and modern pervasive networking.

On a thread about a week ago another commenter also pointed out that some of the best content on the web is in (free) sites maintained by hobbyists, on some specialized topic or other, and that this content is more often than not difficult to find because it doesn't SEO well.

(Which should be a strong indicator that Google's SEO algorithm is wildly broken from a user's point of view. But at this point, Google, the de-facto search and web advertisement monopoly, has no incentive to prioritize quality content, and every incentive to prioritize content that brings them ad revenue. Which garbage content, presented poorly, is great at doing.)

> It had a vulnerability, but not a severe one

The problem I have with WhatsApp is not a question of vulnerabilities, it's a problem of trust in ownership of the app's code. There's no way I would ever trust Facebook with anything sensitive enough to require the Signal protocol because the endpoints might be compromised at some point straight from the app itself.
You don't see .jpeg because people are used to .jpg. There's nothing incompatible with long names that we care about.

Also, that Windows feature you mention is called ADS - alternate data stream.
A lot of people have the opposite view though (reddit has gone too far down that path, and twitter is a lost cause). There are plenty of bad actors on both sides of this issue.
Assuming a heterogenous mix of clothes where some of them have external features that are more damaging to other clothes in a washer, and some have external features more prone to damage, inside-out helps even with front-loaders.

Of course, much of this can be addressed by separating different types of garments, but that can be a lot less resource and time efficient to do really well.
