Joking aside, the Java-Level JVM Compiler Interface [1] was only added about a year ago, in Java 9. This is what allows using Graal with a stock JVM. So, for many people this is the point at which Graal became available.

> "Log noise" is a legitimate security concern all by itself. It is actually disappointing how rarely it is discussed, and how in this world of "AI everywhere" there's no great smart AI log analysers to reduce the signal:noise.

That's because after many people learn about not using "security through obscurity" they apply the rule without thinking as if obscurity never has any benefit for anything.
This also happened to me! I think I reported the issue to an engineer at Soptify but I never heard back. If an engineer at Spotify wants to chat about it, my email is my username @gmail.com.
I am not in the newspaper industry, but close to it you could say.

Do you have any idea how many people have worked on a print story before it got printed?

It's not just the reporter, but fact checkers, copy editors, editors, sometimes lawyers.

You can say what you will about the physical print medium being obsolete now that we have the internet, but can anyone argue that your average online site is going to invest as much manpower in checking over their stories before publishing?
Well, it's shorter than "wampeters, foma & granfalloons" -

A "wampeter" is an object around which the lives of many otherwise unrelated people may revolve. The Holy Grail would be a case in point. "Foma" are harmless untruths, intended to comfort simple souls. An example: "Prosperity is just around the corner." A "granfalloon" is a proud and meaningless association of human beings. - Kurt Vonnegut Jr, Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons

That article describes their hateful rants as 'street sermons.' To describe this activity (https://youtu.be/Eg3OihbIaig?t=167) as 'street sermons' is flattering.

This is a group on par with the Westboro Baptist Church, possibly worse. That NYTs article tries to play it neutral, and that is itself a form of bias when you're talking about a group like this. If the NYTs finished off an article about the WBC with a quote from somebody willing to call the WBC a "harmless part of our community," I think you'd see people accusing the NYTs article of being overly sympathetic in that hypothetical too.

(If you think this group is harmless, just look at the comment section of that video and see what kind of people are praising and adoring the Black Hebrews.)
Forget the cleverness of the code... If I see comments like that (providing direct references to the spec/law) I will know I am reading the work of a true artisan!

Hats off to you, you wonderful person!
I 100% agree. I was born in Myanmar (Burma) and in the last few years, the news that I've been reading on NYT and BBC (the only two sources that I used to respect) are exaggerated and/or biased and/or inaccurate.

Some of the HN readers will be very skeptical about my comment and this may get removed/buried, but I can only say that only when you have lived in a place and experienced the culture and dynamics between different ethnic/racial/religious groups there, you will understand what I mean. E.g., Some people outside of the US can see the current president and think the country is pretty stupid to have elected him. But we all know that the reality is not that simple.

The gist is to not trust the news outlets with blind faith and get riled up, even if they are 'reputable' that they are reporting unbiased/non-exaggerated/agenda-filled news. There are a lot of interested/invested parties that benefit from conflicts like that, so if the article is quoting just one side of the story (e.g., if the story is only presented by the INGOs, UN and NGOs that receive funding), I usually take it with a big grain of salt.

Just my two cents.

The messed up deletion behavior baffles me to this day. The stock mail app on iOS will behave correctly if you muck with the Gmail POP/IMAP settings and turn off 'Archive' in MobileMail, but I have zero confidence that this will work on macOS because Apple pays less attention to the desktop and Gmail don't give a crap if actual client applications work correctly.

Dear Mister Language Person: I am curious about the expression, "Part of this complete breakfast." The way it comes up is, my 5-year-old will be watching TV cartoon shows in the morning, and they'll show a commercial for a children's compressed breakfast compound such as "Froot Loops" or "Lucky Charms, " and they always show it sitting on a table next to a some actual food such as eggs, and the announcer always says: "Part of this complete breakfast." Don't they really mean, "Adjacent to this complete breakfast, " or "On the same table as this complete breakfast"? And couldn't they make essentially the same claim if, instead of Froot Loops, they put a can of shaving cream there, or a dead bat?

Answer: Yes.
I am curious about the effect on the people long-term. I am not sure that reducing the number of people crossing against the light at the crossings in the article in particular tells the full story.

An analysis that considers the reduction in crossing against the light without weighing the consequences of dishonesty is incomplete.
I'm sure I'm in the minority but I don't even think it is that. If the button at each intersection prevents one accident (hospital or even death) then it is worth it. So people got tricked to be safer? Oh, the humanity. People who are going to cross anyway still will.

In case the "small staff" thing doesn't work out...

A patent agent I know recommended this in case the electronic filing system shuts down: Send in your filing via USPS Priority Mail Express with tracking, and retain all copies and receipts. According to him, the date you postmark the letter becomes your filing date. Also, this apparently does not apply to private shipping services like UPS and DHL.
Yeah, its quite ok.

So sloppy, this is why it becomes clear that your developers need to know the scope of your business. Best practices sure don’t leave an open server with production data.

This is half the reason I still get the Sunday Washington Post. You get a piece of it Saturday (comics, somes ads, travel section!) and the bulk on Sunday. I enjoy sitting down with my eggs, coffee, etc and just picking what to read.

Email is "good enough".

The real hole is "instant messaging". Somehow every few years we got from ICQ to AIM to Paltalk to Skype to Facebook Messenger to Slack to ... (at least Altassian had the decency to take HipChat behind the woodshed and shoot it)

The strange thing is that these services dry up, blow away, get replaced, but they don't seem to improve on what came before.

There is a standard, XMPP, but the only people who care about it are firefighters, cops, and soldiers. For all the anger at internet giants these days, I can't see for the life of me why people aren't pushing for open instant messenging.
Most of my filters are simple searches. And if you can search, you can apply it retroactively.

Also FastMail’s search works for any email header so it can be more potent than that of Gmail.

I wonder why can’t they add a checkbox to apply the rules retroactively. Seems to be simple enough.
It helps if you can forget you did it maybe? I think it would still work though. Like Neuro Linguistic Programming. The repetition would most likely sink in if you're an active Fb user. If you gave yourself a way to deny that you put it into action it might be more effective. I'd be interested to double blind that honestly. Lol.

I'm guessing that it was: Corporations are people too? Otherwise, likewise, I can't fathom what the point of the anecdote was.

If the company was truly in the wrong, then it going out of business isn't - necessarily - a bad thing. It sucks for the employed by it, yes, but - in the overall scheme - perhaps it was for the best?

Either way, there's - clearly - not enough information for this to be worthwhile.
It is simple today, except for the authentication.

Of course, if the authentication doesn't work, nothing works!

> I have failed to find one important reason: all news are fake news now.

This 'fake news' thing is just a recent meme that people strengthen through confirmation bias, and then pass around to justify their irrational behaviour.

One example of irrational behaviour: working class conservative voters voting against their interests for generations, and then blaming the country's problems on the 'deep state.'

The thing that is worrisome, is that we seem to be in a post truth era.

We have gone beyond disagreeing about our opinions and our values, and are starting to solipsistically disagree on plain facts now.

The most extreme version of this was a colleague who wrote a parser for the "human readable" version of the H265 spec. This could then be turned into executable code - and also a set of test streams.

That doesn't sound like arbitration.
I'm guessing they're not carving out a niche for self-signed certs? I think that would have been a fair balance, of setting a "this is a self-signed cert" instead of the current "YoUr WeBsIte IS UNSECURED" (which isn't actually true).

Accepting and indicating self signed would also be handy in Tor's onion sites, since the only companies that will issue certs require EV2 and all your info and a pile of money. And Onioncerts are pretty much only Facebook's area :/
It's an internal dashboard, so that was a stress testing figure - afraid it wouldn't be a terribly interesting write up. It was still exciting for me, because I'd been looking for more or less flask-with-asyncio for quite some time.

This is getting so tiresome - consumers need direct recourse against those institutions that are mishandling/losing their data

I am not the one you answered, but the title DID put me off, and therefore I didn't read the article (and I probably won't read it, even if it is good).

I loathe the tendency to pack emotion and opinion into everything, and exaggerate everything, just because people think they'll get readers that way. Please don't.

The rules are code and should be handled as such - but they're written in a domain specific way that makes them easier for humans to compare against the spec.
I am not disagreeing with your position that such an access is not authorized by the person whose confidentially is compromised, but the phrases from the UK ICO that you quote in making your argument do not say that the mitigations you propose would provide an adequate defense for the website provider, either. Taken in isolation and at face value (which is what you do to make your case), those phrases lead inevitably to the conclusion that password-only authentication cannot possibly suffice as ICO-compliant authorization for access to any personal data whatsoever.
Apples to oranges. Cutler designs new OSs from first principles, Torvalds implemented a version of an existing OS.

Truth be told, I'm in my early 30's, but for the longest time, XPS was gaming oriented (probably b/c of the Alienware acquisition) and Latitude was for the business crowd.

These patents seem to be a countermeasure against patent trolls, since the code uses the Apache license. Quoting from link:

> Apache license gives the right to use patents required to use the code (assuming the original author had those rights), and the code implementing optional chaining in the compiler is Apache licensed. So, the only thing Apple having a patent on optional chaining does is to stop frivolous suits from patent trolls. It can't be used for any kind of nefarious power play by Apple, which is what OP was worried about.

I remember some weeks ago, I sent over a picture of the Chinese President as Winnie the Poo (a popular meme at the time) to some friends on WeChat. It showed up as sent in my WeChat but my friends confirm it never actually reached them. Maybe 10 minutes later, it had been deleted from the chat logs on my phone as well.
>In this particular story, what strikes me is the amounts being discussed. 1 million dollars isn't chump change to anyone. If we have to have arbitration, there should be a hard legal limit on how much they can arbitrate when a physical person is involved.

Two points:

1. 1 Million is chump change to UBS.

2. It was class-action. More parties = More money. He wasn't in it just for himself.
I use a single account for 5 domains, with multiple aliases per domain.

For IMAP folders you can set a default identity and email in a folder stays in that folder without cluttering Archive, like in Gmail. So in effect you can do much with a single account.
Something always slips between the cracks. A sensible solution, given that the USPTO is self-funding, would be, at the very least, for the Executive and Legislative branches to simply approve the spending for all agencies that are self-funding. To do otherwise is simply vindictive.
If I was going to become a doomsday prepper, this is about the only thing that could do it. The article ends by talking about two years of power outages in the US. That would basically end society as we know it. No communication, no cars, no clean water, no shipments of food, it'd be chaos. And since it'd be world-wide, we couldn't even just hold on until the Europeans shipped us new parts for our factories.

Based on first hand experience, no it's not that hard to get out of games industry, not for a sw dev anyway. It's true that (for example) intimate knowledge of real-time 3d rendering is a rather niche skill, but OTOH knowing how to write fast code has much wider applicability, and most game developers will tend to be much better at that then your average sw dev.

If anything, it's harder to get into the games industry than to get out because there is relatively more competition for gamedev jobs than for other sw dev jobs. So I would argue that if you can get in, you can get out, and when getting out you have the added advantage of being more experienced than when you got in.
It works well in some circumstances, but not in those circumstances. In places where it does work, urban development had to change to accommodate transit. All of the existing development and infrastructure is so inflexible that these particular metro areas have no choice but to have the transit system change to accommodate.

The requirements seem pretty clear to me. The system has to be on-demand, able to accommodate sprawl, and lose little in terms of average speed compared to old expectations of personal car transit, and most importantly, it can't demand new physical roadway infrastructure.

I see how it's dubious that autonomous vehicles will fit this bill. Or it may be very challenging and take many decades. But let's be honest about the situation - it's the only option on the table.
There are a number of household name corporations that also act as patent trolls in their respective industries. Somewhat like the Luxottica/Oakley story, they put smaller companies in weak positions, forcing them to sell at a low valuation or go out of business.
I can see how forcing kids onto FB is a major issue, but the article seemed to imply the same was true for other Big Tech EDU platforms (AFAIK the main ones being Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams for Education)

Do the same issues exist in these platforms?
>On a legal level, no, that's not a mistaken belief.

Yes, on a legal level.
Interestingly, the APL community (or at least the kdb/K community) and the Forth community (from what I hear) often push in the exact opposite direction. They seem to love to take advantage of any accidental regularity in the problem as given to simplify the code as much as possible.

The logic is that often the specs don't change, and if you make the code concise enough, you can just rewrite it if you need to make it more general.
Not very useful. No discussion and no traction over there, whereas this made the front page and is attracting comments.
I’m not saying the first example is hard to _understand_. I’m saying that it’s hard to be confident it works or debug when it has a bad visual output because the unnecessary statefulness creates compounding mistakes over time.

My second example (that doesn’t have this problem) is pretty much what you wrote.
There was a blog post a few years ago where a guy to get back at a prank from his room mate used target facebook ads to hit just him to make him feel crazy[0]. Also facebook has openly hijacked every political system on the planet, made that Fyre festival happen, and have been spewing data at near anonymous developer accounts for a decade. I think maybe this is a good thing that this company is being open about it. If this was illegal then all the "legit" people that have been abusing it would have something to worry about and many of them are very rich. I'm not sure the company using the services offered in the way they are designed is the real villain.

I definitely see your point. Since Bliss didn't really take off, we don't have to worry about it becoming Newspeak, lol!

This is a good place to point out that the symbols were not meant to replace spoken languages; there is no verbal component to Bliss. It's more like a Tower of Babel idea, that misunderstandings between people and obvious falsehoods might be more easily spotted and corrected.

Check out the book if you get a chance. He can explain it much better than I did! :-)
If someone went on shadyripoffsite.cn and paid 1/10th the normal price for a counterfeit product then sure, blame the buyer for not seeing red flags. But buying a product on Amazon that claims it's by the official seller, selling at the normal retail price of the product, should be a trustable, reasonable exercise.

That Amazon lets anyone seemingly be anyone, even major brands, as sellers, and lets blatant frauds continue for long periods of time, is a serious problem. This isn't the buyer's fault whatsoever.

Good they got a refund, but it's nice that they shine a light on it.
To echo a comment in the linked thread: what does the Apache license say about other implementations? If I want to create my own implementation of the Swift compiler, or create another language with optional chaining, would this license protect me? Or does it only protect the use of this implementation?
