If the few SF books I've read on the subject are any guidance we will continue to feel superior to any AI-entity no matter its IQ or "computation speed". I'm also very, very skeptical that the singularity is even remotely within our technical reach, but that's another subject.
"Shellcode" in this sense is the small number of instructions that initiates the exploit, i.e. its contained in the data you overflow the buffer with.

The intention is that you tricking the firmware into executing your shellcode to ramp up the exploit.

The shellcode is "executable data" and the typical prevention for this type of exploit is execution-prevention on data (and stack) regions (for processors that support it).
I really like the flexibility of CoreDNS for that. I use Cloudflare with dnscrypt as my resolver and still get to use intranet things at work because I can just forward the zones I need there elsewhere.

I guess you're right, but at least when asked about a "solution", he will speak in favor of anarcho-syndicalism. Which has an okayish track record - it usually didn't last very long but it also didn't seem to kill or subjugate anyone in its name.

Games as a service tend to optimise for these kinds of players because they are the whales that pour obscene amounts of money into the game. it's part of why i refuse to buy into any game that sells itself as a "platform".

also the balance tends to suck in these games - how do you balance for someone who can basically put 8 hours a day every day in the game and someone who can log on for maybe 2 hours a week(if they're lucky)

also i may be nitpicking at this point but eve hasn't really evolved their tech stack for how popular they are(practically household names at this point). consequently the game shits the bed and is pretty unplayable when actually fun exciting events like a huge corporation being cannibalised happen...
You feel hunger just in the initial 3 days. I was on a distilled water fast for over a week, hunger disappeared completely.
I wonder about this too. The tweetstorm linked here only talks about technology, comparing Patreon to YouTube. Since Patreon handles payments, I can imagine their load on customer support, anti-fraud, abusive behavior etc is significantly higher than that of YouTube. The fact that the OP did not address this belies a simplistic view about what it's like to run a business (that and the fact that he thinks the Patreon founders could've gotten a bank loan).

At the same time, $60M? How can a platform like Patreon even begin to spend that much money? On what? I didn't understand it when Medium raised so much and I didn't understand it when Patreon did.

Basically my gist is that while this is a fun rant to read against getting VC funding, there's also a middle ground: raise reasonable amounts of VC funding. This might not always fit VC incentives perfectly, after all their business model depends on funding dozens of companies hoping that one is the next Facebook, but in the end it's your call. And hey, if you grow half speed you'll just be the next Facebook 5 years later, no man overboard.

VCs can usually veto new sources of funding but if they can force you to raise followon rounds then you've been negotiating wrong.
As far as my understanding goes, finding mummies in Egypt is similar to finding dinosaur fossils - it's common and rarely something that gets/should get broad attention. It's more a marketing thing, which the article also acks:

> Egypt has made a series of archaeological finds recently, and it has been heavily promoting them to revive its tourism industry

This find seems to be along those lines.

Visited Egypt a couple of times, really incredible to walk around in primarily Luxor temples. A tip for tourists - buy an egyptian newspaper (in arabic) and carry around visibly. Learn to say "no thanks" in as good arabic as you can (something like "la-a shukran"). That makes things easier.

DNS servers should not be used as "internet connectivity tests" by pinging them. They are not maintained as ICMP test servers, and that is not their purpose. While many do not block ICMP packets, there are typically rate limiting systems in place, and other reasons why they would not respond to ping requests.

Pinging DNS servers is a shitty inconclusive test for internet connectivity, or SLA measurements etc etc.
We are east coast and always use webcams. I find it really helps communication.

It looks like they may be using Perimeterx Bot Defender.

Note Bloomberg is not blocking any access without Javascript or cookies enabled.

Perimeterx is a service that purports to stop "bots" by using heuristics to produce a "risk score". The result is that it allows some bots (e.g. Googlebot) and blocks others (e.g. Archive.org_bot). It gives preferential treatment to some http clients such as Chrome while blocking others such as curl or wget. Not only that, as you mention, these blocks are bypassed simply by using an open redirect.

The page you quoted is telling the user to enable Javascript and cookies, making it sound like that is the reason for the block. The truth is that javascript is only needed so the user can solve captchas and send data to Google. One does not need JS or cookies enabled to read Bloomberg articles.
So, what should we ping for testing Internet connectivity ?
Ha! You'd be surprised. I've seen some dreadfully unusable pages designed by celebrated designers.

Edit: this is one reason I don’t do the social media thing. I read that in a totally different frame of mind than you wrote it in, probably. I am not one to get all preachy. I personally get caught up in analysis paralysis sometimes because everyone has convincing arguments. It’s because there are many right answers. There’s probably some deeper psychology there... dunno but it’s on me.

No offense, but it would sometimes be good to remember that quote about sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic when taking such an authoritative tone.

There are probably some other equally talented developers who do ‘get it’ who might be a little unsure of themselves and continue to hold back and feel like an imposter.

Anyway, that’s not really a call to change or anything. You do you.

But I did want to remind everyone else, especially those unsure of themselves, that those are, like, their opinion... you also do you.
QuadSAT | Drone Software Engineer | Odense, Denmark | Full-time|

QuadSAT is developing a drone system for testing the ground segment of satellite communication.

We are searching for a full-time Drone Software Engineer, preferably with background in robotics, who will strengthen the team on developing an autonomous drone. The candidate will design, implement, integrate, and evaluate various control and robotic techniques for the UAV platform as well as adding new features and tools to the developed system. The general challenges include achieving extremely high performance, robustness, and safety requirements under the real-world autonomous operational conditions.

We are also flexible with the employment terms (onsite/remote, full-time/part-time/project/consultancy, etc.), as long as there is a match between you and us.

See the job description here: https://quadsat.com/career/
For applications or more information: ab@quadsat.com

Yes, it gets a bit tedious seeing 90% of comments from React fanboys being from people who clearly just repeat each others arguments, or even give no argument at all beyond "I'm assuming you are stupid because people who are not clearly all love this feature". It's not a great look for a developer and I don't know why they seem so proud of their close-minded attitude.
well, I can think of one 'product strategy' they might be tossing around but it would be a super bad idea long term. Let's just hope someone bootstraps an alternative, they can name it Parteon.
> This can be partially mitigated in the same way it has been worked-around before: Through proxies. The fact that HTTP/3 is still only HTTP makes it even easier.

But if we’re doing that we get none of the so called benefits Google-HTTP 2.0 and Google-HTTP 3.0 brings, so what’s the point of using them in the first place?

That’s completely ignoring Google-HTTP 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 probably coming next year, and the issue of when Google thinks it is “reasonable” to break compatibility with the real HTTP, ie HTTP 1.1.

I don't know where you get this idea from? Where does it say that schools are teaching kids to act socially mature without understanding why?

Mindfulness if taught well should provide the opposite. It gives you a framework to understand your thoughts and emotions and act in a more rational, thoughtful way. It's not a way of abdicating responsibility - just the opposite.
It’s not so much that it was biased, more that it presented a particular view on history as if it was the truth. Harari view would have been a data point in “Ideas”, which is more a (very detailed) survey of the ideas about history. Gun, Germs and Steel is actually discussed as are Jared Diomonds other works in relation to his ideas of the grand narratives of human evolution and thought.

Harari often speculates about what people in the past were thinking when we have actual written accounts from the time. The point of “Ideas” is that imposing modern ideas on the past doesn’t really work or is at least difficult because the ideas of the time were so different. An example would be the modern conception of an “artist” being a concept created during the romantic period. Before that people doing painting or music considered themselves craftspeople. So trying to read intent into what they were doing based on the modern conception of an artist is a fools errand. Harari seemed to do this kind of thing all the time.

There were some interesting facts in Sapiens but there was so much fluff as well. Maybe this is just me but do we really need a page of speculation about what society would have been like if we used seashells as currency?

Maybe it’s the editors fault but I though Sapiens could have been a cut down to a third of its length by removing (to me) useless, unreferenced speculation about what people may have thought. A don’t get me started on the poor referencing.

Anyway this has turned into a bit of a rant so I’m going to stop here.

Highly recommend Ideas: A History. It’s denser, a little drier but definitely far superior to Sapiens.
Your requests are still forwarded to a third party with a Pi-hole. They are sometimes cached and sites you have blocked do not resolve, but choosing a DNS provider is still required.
Purposeful pursuit of idle life should not be thought as a virtue. Not for young men in their prime, without a family.

I admit, I am a bit envious of other men of my age who managed to get that "settled down slow life" with happy family, but even at that stage in life, that "idleness" only comes as a great reward for years of work, and raising a child is a no joke effort.
That depends a bit on how we look at it, I suppose.. usually we talk about about e.g. an electron that spins up and down at the same time, whereas in classical physics it could only do one of those things at the time. So it does two things that (classically) contradict each other. So when you look at it with a classical view it seems like the electron belongs to the group that spins up, thus it can't belong to the group that spins the opposite way.. but it does.
I agree with you that articles advocating for increased focus on the humanities often fail to consider that historically university education in the humanities was only pursued by the wealthy elite. At the same time however, when I read books written by relatively average people from the early 1900s I notice that there are often many allusions to classical era mythology and history.

This could just be a difference in the focus of the humanities that people are learning (e.g. people in the past were educated in a relatively greater understanding of hellenistic culture while modern people are educated in a relatively greater understanding of non-western cultures). However, is it possible that in the past primary and secondary schools gave people a grounding in the humanities even if they never studied them at university?
> People forgot what "sustainable business model" even means. It does not mean "infinite growth"

actually, it does. If you want to keep the same revenue, you need to grow because everything around you keeps becoming more and more expensive - taxes, etc
Not trying to be snarky, but you can't or you won't? At some point do you wonder if it's a problem you should look at addressing?

I'm all about optimizing the work environment, but saying you can't work with talking around you comes across as entitled.
We need to remember what sustainable business model means for the people in charge at patreon though. What you describe as a sustainable business model is correct for a small independent business. What is sustainable for a venture capital fund is to have many companies attempting to grow revenue by 50% PA, not 5% PA.

For a venture capital firm investing $60m into a company and hoping for small sustainable profits isn't a sustainable business model - it's tying your money up in low growth long term investments when that's literally the opposite of what they invested for.

This may not be good for the people who use Patreon, but what you're describing isn't sustainable for Patreon.

I wonder to what extent Warren Buffet is Warren Buffet because of how he thinks and acts (like all of these non-fiction authors selling books by using his name would have us believe), and to what extent he is the product of media selection bias. -- If you take a large enough group of people who take risky stakes that are large enough (like the world of financial asset management), then one of them is bound to be as successful as Warren Buffet, even if they all behave randomly.

There’s ping.sunet.se as maintained by the Swedish University Network (i.e. the network connecting Swedish Universities; there is no single “Swedish University”).
I have the exact opposite perception. Previously, I used to convert a function/stateless component, just because I need one transient state and it felt very verbose to switch to class components, while all it needed was one state and corresponding setState. With Hooks, all of them just become more transparent (you explicitly have to hook all the states, not just use one state and add later add more states to track). Though I admit I felt uncomfortable initially, it just feels right once you start working with them. I really like hooks!!!
> So you're in your van, parked at the beach, or a beautiful park and you gotta poop - what now?

Well, if you're "parked," there's a good chance that there are restrooms.

You can carry a portable toilet. Or a bucket and kitchen trash bags. I'm an over the road trucker, and in an "emergency" I have just closed the curtains, squatted down in the back and pooped into a 13 gal kitchen trash bag. Not at all comfortable, but workable in an emergency.

Store the bag outside in the spare tire, until I get to a suitable dumpster/trash can. (And I doubt that my rare, once or twice a year "dump" compares at all to the daily disposal of diapers on the road and at home on garbage day.)

I said nothing about loving, or even liking, hooks or React itself. That's not the point. It's weighing in with a completely useless opinion based on a second's thought, over and over again.

Can you be more specific with the misquoted and misattributed philosophers?
Depends on how you look at it.

Regex is a family of languages each of which can have various implementations. You could have a regex implementation that instead uses mutually recursive functions etc.

What is true is that regexes are typically not turing complete and can be represented with simple state machines.
And hence we have ASLR to prevent against those attacks…

VP9 has broader decoder support than H.265. Even when you don't have a hardware decoder, the software decoding for VP9 is not bad. I play VP9 video in VLC on my iPhone 7 and I have survived to tell the tale. It's not all doom and gloom.
Great advice. Especially for people who might not know the realities of living a nomad lifestyle who might just be enamored with the marketing of it.

I toured around for 6 weeks in a van, all down the West Coast, visiting national parks, hiking, sleeping on the beaches, and reading a lot. It was a great time, and required very little equipment, and monetary investment (my buddy had a van already.) And what we did was glorified camping, though the day-to-day I don't see how it'd be much different than a fully custom luxury van.

People should start with a long month-long road trip like this to really get a feel, to understand how you'll provision food, where you'll eat, etc.

I love me a good long road trip, but I'd never move into one as a substitute for a home.

With "patch theory" the VCS can tell you which patches depend on which patches, even if they look like a linear "tree", it helps you get the same result. Of course you can do it with git, but it helps you get there faster.

Git uses some heuristics to make things smooth, but when it fails, it fails bad. Patch theory handles those, and it cannot "fail", it simply states where the conflict is. (On patch level, not just that these files happen to conflict because these diffs conflict after a lot of rebase-rewrite.) Which will be exact, not heuristic driven and implementation dependent, like in Git.

By "garbage collect" I assume you mean autophagy. Just ran across this yesterday from the Salk Institute, which looks promising for autophagy [1].

Now, the hypothesis is that fasting is one of the ways we can induce autophagy. The problem is, we have no way to measure autophagy in humans at the moment. That means we can't prove that fasting=autophagy=cancer stopper. It also means we don't know what an effective dose of fasting is (24 hours, 3 days, 5 days, etc.)

Regardless, it seems you are on the right track.

"The Karlseder lab studying the relationship of telomeres to cancer discovered that the cellular recycling process called autophagy—generally thought of as a survival mechanism—actually promotes the death of cells, thereby preventing cancer initiation."
