WebReplay requires recording and replaying a lot of low level system specific stuff, like system calls, IPC traffic, stack, and the heap. The "Porting" section of the linked article talks about this. I think the design is intended to support working on different operating systems (as compared to rr which is likely to only ever work on Linux), but porting will require additional work.

I am risking down votes and flagging on this, and it's so worth it.

I can't help but feel a nasty, uncalled-for sense of schadenfreude at this - White European gets denied entry to the US and it's MAJOR NEWS!! Plenty of equally talented, educated, trained, motivated, law-abiding people face this treatment everyday (or otherwise avoid risking this treatment by just not going) - just because they happen to be from "shitholes" (US Presidential Terminology of course) that happen to be shitholes in no small part because of the greedy raping and looting in quite recent history by regimes (or antecedents) that are today closing their gates (Daniel's own country included).

Nothing against Daniel - deep respect for the guy!! I hope this problem resolves for him.

But man, can't help the smile on my face. Not in the least bit because of the complaining in Daniel's post of the DS-160 - something I had to fill too, and hated it just as much, and wouldn't have made the news if I was the author of cURL because I'm Indian.
I agree with im3w1l's point: if everyone runs the same install script, it's a lot riskier for the publisher to attack everywhere. If people run individualized scripts, it's a lot less risky.

I think there's a difference between trusting an organization's code that is published to the general public, and trusting an organization to send you arbitrary code in a specific moment. Only software distribution methods can enforce this kind of distinction, and curl | bash by itself doesn't, particularly in light of the article's technique.

I tried to discuss this distinction in some of my reproducible builds talks. There's a difference between trusting Debian to publish safe OS packages, and trusting Debian to send you a safe package when you run a package manager if the package could easily be different every time. This is particularly so when someone may be able to compromise the software publisher's infrastructure, or when a government may be able to compel the software publisher to attack one user but other users.

Instead of your (1) and (2) above, how about this?

1) Distributing software via a method that can single out particular users and groups to receive distinctive versions is a bad idea: it increases the chance that some users will actually be attacked via the software publication system.

2) We might think that curl | bash isn't particularly egregious this way, because there are various ways that publishers might get caught selectively providing malicious versions. This is especially so because the publishers can't tell whether a curl connection is going to run the installer or simply save it to disk. That makes the publishers (or other people who could cause this attack to happen) less likely to do it.

3) But haha! Here is a clever trick that restores the publishers' ability to distinguish between running and saving the installer, and in turn breaks the most plausible ways that publishers could get caught doing this.

Edit: Elsewhere in this thread you suggested that the likeliest alternative is something like

curl https://somesite.com/apt.key | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install some-software

I think I'd agree that this has some of the same problems, although it might have some advantages because of the potential decoupling between the distribution of the signing key and the distribution of the signed package. As another commenter pointed out, you could try to use a different channel to get or verify the key, and some users actually do; also, you'll have a saved copy of the key afterward.
From the article:

>But Asher says he’s not interested in sending any sort of message in his fiction. “I just wrote it as I saw it,” he says. “I’ve never thought that much about it. My aim is to tell a story and to entertain.”

That's what political writers using entertainment to push a political message always say in interviews.

>He’s more outspoken on Twitter, where he regularly posts about politics. He says that social media has made him acutely aware of just how unwelcome his views are in the overwhelmingly liberal world of science fiction, to the extent that he simply avoids science fiction conventions altogether.

One part I think the article neglects as a negative for the staycation is that when you're at home, your mind is usually in the habits that you have while you're at home (like you said, thinking about all the projects around the house, other things that bother you).

Being able to get way out of your rut, being somewhere new, with no routines, habits, or subconscious triggers can really be a big breath of fresh air.
Actually I do all of these in all my trips :-/ beyond simple reasons, there is nothing sinister.

* Bored in flight - sleep.

* Bored at airport - do people watching, good place is look at how people board, watch airplanes take off and land, what is the ground crew doing.

* Travel comfortably and lightly - go in shorts and at the destination airport change to formals.

* Don't like queue - board last

* Want to travel cheap internationally - you would go through cheap airlines like Turkish, Ethihad (or) some unknown airline.

* In business trip - do prep work in laptop while in flight.

I'm getting more and more annoyed with these baseline establishing stuff and ML models.

Interesting how there is literally a confusingly large number of leftists making pedophile jokes.
There is a little more to it than "languages don't provide decimal or fixed point". Both Java and Python provide decimal implementations as part of their standard libraries, and languages don't provide fixed-point as it's largely trivial: "just do integer operations and scale them appropriately".

The problem is that fixed point is ambiguous: there are multiple ways to do rounding (unlike floating point which has been largely standardised since the early 90s). In fact, the COBOL rounding rules are rather complicated:

This has some interesting consequences:

I know of an insurance company where there were difficulties trying to replicate the exact premium calculation (which was done on a mainframe in COBOL), part of which involved taking 1.01 to the power of a positive integer (which depended on various risk factors of the policy).

COBOL was not really intended for numerical work, and so doesn't have a "pow" function (or at least this version didn't): instead, it turns out that the programmer had used a simple loop which would iteratively multiply a variable by 1.01, incurring round-off at each iteration. So the only way to emulate it exactly was to use the same arithmetic _and_ the same ugly hacks used in the original software.

> What does that respect mean? How are you being disrespected? If you can't articulate that, then you aren't being disrespected.

Someone being able to articulate something is not really related to whether or not they're being disrespected. In some situations, often the only thing the person has to go on is that things feel wrong. Unless that person is also very educated in the areas of how psychological wrongs can be done, they may very well be unable to articulate it, and your attitude makes the perpetrator very defended in society.

We see this play out in abuse situations where a lot of gaslighting is going on. People who abuse are often very experienced in abuse, so they're going to be much better at articulating how they are not doing what you're doing.

First off, you used inflammatory language with the word "paranoia." Fear is reasonable; paranoia is not.

Second, your analogy is not apt because you cannot equate the fear felt by an individual with the fear felt by a populace. Only one person has input into the former; many have input into the latter and they all, as individuals, exercise it in different ways.

Third, you did not respond to my point. I was not dismissing the fear; I was dismissing our paranoid response to it. Fear of an attack is reasonable. Fear of "looking insecure" is not. They are different. The former would have done things like streamlined intelligence gathering and looked into the myriad causes of attacks intended to create a terror response. The latter bans nationals of a handful of countries--but not the one whose nationals were responsible for the Big Attack we so fear--as a knee-jerk response.

On the gripping hand, we won't do the former because we may just find that the terrorists look a lot different from who we think they look like.

>Global competition among labor for work is one of the driving forces behind the erosion of the middle class.

Erosion of the _American_ middle class, creation of the middle class in developing countries. I fail to see why an American deserves better compensation for their work than e.g. a Chinese doing similar work, just because of the luck of where they were born.

Oh Zip Drives... In 1995, I worked at a software store and they were flying off the shelves. For a virtual portfolio investment, I put about 95% into IOMG and returned 150% in a week, destroying a bunch of trustfunders by miles.

The difference is all about the contributors.

Each having a low limit, or one having a low limit makes for specific conversation dynamics.

Long form, or free form is a different thing.

Equating them is over simplifying both the request and dynamics in play.
The main reason COBOL is still around is not math.

The main reason is that business and domain logic exists only as COBOL logic. COBOL devs are ~60 on average, and many people who wrote system requirements are probably already dead. Existing code runs millions or billions of dollars worth of transactions often based on arcane financial rules and internal regulations. Good luck untangling that without stopping the business and without losing that functionality.

From an engineering standpoint, Apples devices became hard to repair because they optimized for weight and size over maintainability. Would Tesla do the same? Size isn't going to be something they care about because cars are all the same size and thats what people want.
From a business standpoint it doesn't make much sense either. Tesla offers very long warranties (I believe is 4/8 years for vehicle/drivetrain), so making things hard to repair would likely be costing them money. For the next 10-20 years, assuming they survive, there will be more new Teslas under warranty than older models as the production rate keeps increasing.

Electric cars are so much easier to repair in my opinion because of their simplicity, with the exception of the high voltage stuff, which I won't touch. Replacing the drive unit in most electric cars is like 2 sets of wires and 4-8 bolts. Ever tried replacing the camshaft in an internal combustion vehicle? I'd say the difference is, the aftermarket car parts business is very good at making camshafts, bearings and pistons, but not so good at making high power inverters and charging systems. But that'll change as electric vehicles become more common.

Decentralized web apps already exist, built with our tool ( https://github.com/amark/gun ). For instance:

- Decentralized Reddit ( https://notabug.io/ ) can push terabytes of daily P2P traffic.

- Decentralized YouTube ( https://d.tube/ ) gets millions of uniques every month, built with IPFS/Steem/GUN (upcoming release will have end-to-end encrypted private messaging).

There are plenty of other dApps being built. This isn't an Ethereum pipedream, you can build them today! We'll even be releasing an IPFS storage adapter for GUN coming up soon, too!

> The right to own should not necessarily imply a right to repair for all types of items.

the right to repair doesn't necessarily mean you have to do it yourself.

To me, the right to repair means the right for a 3rd party to completely understand the innards of a piece of equipment. This way, the manufacturer cannot lock you in, nor can they charge exorbinant prices for repairs. It's really and extension of a free-market. Compete on quality and price, rather than by monopoly or coercion.
I read /r/legaladvice over on reddit.

At least a couple times a month there's someone who has had repeated issues with law enforcement banging on their door, sometimes even with guns drawn, because someone with a similar name had a warrant out for their arrest, or a criminal background of some type, or someone the police wanted used to live at their address years ago. And there seems to be very little an average person can do to get "the system" to correct itself; even after multiple instances, the police keep coming back again and again and again and again because "the system said so". Massively scaled automated facial recognition will multiply that many times over, especially when officers are trained to just trust "the system" when "the system" says you're a criminal.
Relaxing vacations with kids is impossible. Even if we were at some type of resort where the staff babysits them during the day, we would still need to take care of them in the morning and evening.

To be honest, I can't wait to get back to work after a vacation so I can finally find some relaxation time. Vacations with kids is exhausting. Going to work is like a true vacation after going on a vacation with kids.

If you want a relaxing vacation, you have to ditch the kids. On a regular basis (1-2 times a year) my wife and I have the grandparents take over kid duty while we get away for a few days. This does take some scheduling since our parents do not live in the same state we do.
The Jason Laster gist implies it should cover this out-of-the-box: you can rewind to when logs were emitted.

The point of the show is social commentary on today via an imaginary view of the 1960s. Just like Battlestar Galactica was thinly disguised commentary on the Iraq war.

I'd be careful taking it as an accurate picture of the 1960s. Hollywood pieces, even period pieces (and most especially period pieces) are creatures of the time in which they were filmed, not when they are set.

This is part of the problem with there not being clear rights for people traveling to countries. You end up with a weird case where most people can get in, but some people end up in administrative balderdash with no recourse.

It would look very different if the country just wouldn't let anyone in at all, but because it lets some people in, we get this "well, you can't complain" situation.

The closest analogy I could come up with was the Stasi.

What parts would require more fancy equipment? Induction motors are pretty dead simple and probably built to lower tolerances than the average ICE. An EV has more reliance on fancy electronics, which would be hard to replicate, but that applies to any modern day car too. Think of the engine ECU that controls fuel flow, spark timing, etc. You aren't going to pick one of those up at sparkfun.

The most relaxing vacation I have ever been on is a cruise. At least the days when we were not in port. When you are at sea and literally cannot go anywhere because you are on a boat there was no expectation or feeling of needing to be "doing something". You could just wander around, take a nap, stare out at the water, eat, read a book, play a game, etc. So incredibly relaxing. I'd love to go on a cruise that just went from point A to point B without going into port anywhere until it was time to exit the boat. That would be incredibly relaxing I imagine.

I worked for a big company with an IT department that was forcing strict policies on everybody. E.g. installing Skype could get you fired. But the developers working on projects for that company basically ignored the rules, because it was the only way to get anything done.

Not saying that there aren't companies for which this is desirable. Such companies exist. What I am saying is that their reasoning is bullshit and has more to do with some people keeping their jobs, so it's job security instead of actual security.
