It depends on what you're doing. I imagine a lot of people use IDA pro for modding video games, which often/usually provides no monetary compensation.

Perhaps they would benefit from some type of "free/cheap for noncommercial use" license?
Though the obvious explanation for that is that it was an intentional backdoor, that honestly looks more to me like a legitimate oversight than a backdoor. I think an actual backdoor would be a lot more subtle and clever than that. Especially since this way, absolutely anyone could exploit it (it's just Java Debug Wire Protocol).

Also, you have to explicitly run it in debug mode for this to happen, which probably only a small percentage of end users will do. Kind of seems like the equivalent of running Flask apps in debug mode, which by default will handle exceptions by showing a traceback with an interactive debugger that can be used to execute arbitrary code.

There could be some backdoors in it, but I'm leaning towards that not being an intentional one. (But I definitely could be totally wrong; you never know when it comes to intelligence agencies.)

The question is does USA see Russia, China, Iran as its peers and want to be in their league or not.

It is okay to be a despotic regime as long as you also face the risks that come along with it. USA does not face such risks and hence it can not be okay to compare it with say Russia.

I am reminded of the following (obviously fictional) story where Ronald Regan and Gorbachev wondered who had the most loyal soldiers. Ronald Regan asked one of his bodyguard to shoot himself to show his loyalty. The bodyguard laughed and asked Regan to fuck off. Gorbachev asked the same of his bodyguard who promptly shot himself to death. Regan was very surprised and asked Gorbachev as to how come his bodyguard was so loyal. Gorbachev said, he was protecting his family by killing himself.

I do not think China, Russia or Saudi Barbaria are worthwhile bechmarks for USA. Those countries have achieved little and will continue to achieve little.
Small but important correction: the chemical is injected into the retina, not the cornea.

I was thinking this was cool because if it works in the cornea, it could possibly be injected into a contact lens and achieve the same effect. But it looks like that won't work because the effect depends on the chemical being in (very) close proximity to photoreceptors in the retina.

No, I mean the apparent over-prescription of antibiotics to everyone involved, them taking a leisurely day walking around and shopping (they must not be that sick), and the fact that antiobiotics are commonly available (at least where I live) for a cash price of $1 from multiple grocery/pharmacy chains. Heck, one chain here (meijer) offers FREE antibiotics.

But, as to your point, I believe people should be fully paying for things like this out of pocket. Insurance is not insurance when it covers everything and every dollar. Imagine how much car insurance would cost if it covered every scratch, ding, and scraped wheel without deductible.
Probably many a trillion times less likely. Already, in the history of genetic testing we’ve noticed two among billions, even with retrospective testing of ancient DNA.

While we haven’t tested all living humans, we certainly know the typical rate of fraternal twins, so, with that as a benchmark for how infrequent twins usually are, over millions of years, this happens even less. Even with lawlessness, relaxed social norms and the simultaneous sharing of sexual partners throughout history. Even with evolutionary ancestors like higher primates.

Thanks for this feature though. Looks awesome to me! It is nice to see cycle time for other people in the org who dont use estimates. The fact that we are tracking change in pipeline movement makes it really easy for all to use.

I do think now about how at the end of the day, I normally like to put the next issue im going to work on in the "in progress" before I leave so it is ready for the next morning. Now I wonder if for metric tracking I should not do that.

Also I wonder what happens if you out something into In Progress then get a different priority and take it out. Does the time reset? Does it track total time it was in the pipeline?

From someone who does binary reverse engineering full time, in my experience, BinaryNinja, Hopper, radare2, etc are toys compared to IDA Pro + Hex Rays Decompiler. The quality of the results and the features supported are unmatched... until now. I haven’t spent too much time with ghidra yet but it’s the real deal. The output of the decompiler looks alright (not complete garbage like I’ve seen with other tools). Even if everything else sucks, the decompiler by itself makes it outrank every other tool aside from IDA. And it costs $10k less! The fact that it’ll be open source is just icing on the cake.

I took a teaching position back in the mid-00s in Korea. Because it was a new school, the housing wasn't ready when we arrived. The school decided to put us up in one because it was cheap. We were there for a month.

Nice? That's not the word I would choose. Random stains on the furniture and carpet. Hairs on the sheets. A vending machine at the end of the hall selling an assortment of toys.

They did have free pirated DVDs on a shelf at the end of the hall. It was all porn.

It did have fantastic sound effects at 2 AM in the morning, though.

Nice is definitely not the word I would choose based on my experience.

Just to put into context how absurd these costs are, she could conceivably have spent less money and time by flying from NY to Toronto and paying for a doctor visit out of pocket there instead of relying on her insurance in this case...
The main cat-and-mouse game with malware isn't in making disassembly/decompilation hard--quite frankly, the problem is simply too trivial--it's in trying to keep the malware analysis people from finding the malware in the first place. The "I'm being run in a VM for malware analysis, so don't trigger my payload in the first place" game.
I doubt you would get that. You still have to wait for fulfillment. I guess at least you probably wouldn't be in a line.
Meh, I'm colorblind and I would do it for the option to see the world differently! First, though, I'd want some idea of how much the world would change.
That's a cool idea with gl and gr. I've never used 0 and $ in vim, D or C get me to the end, and I have what is probably an anti-patter in hitting I<esc> or A<esc> to get to beginning or end otherwise. Or its a change inside quotes or parens or db.

One funny anti-pattern I just noticed I have recently is when editing the last line I've written in notes I'll open a new line with O then immediately exit to normal mode, only to have the next thing I do be to hit i for insert.

I guess my long winded point is that it's easy to have anti-patterns sneak up on you and it's nice to see someone else's re-designed keybindings on a modal style interface to spur reflection on our own setups.

FBI Director says Encryption is Dangerous
Imho whiteboarding(solve this trick question by using well known algo/datastruct...) was introduced because when hiring fresh grads/no-experience people, one can not expect them to know enough about any language or any domain related problem an experienced person can solve, so only way to check if they are good learners is asking ds and algo they learned at college which they still retain or revised recently added with their favorite language of choice in basic form.
Unfortunately, this has spilled over to experienced hires as well & gained the bad rep as experienced people retain their memory/experience of solving a real world problem related to the job at hand rather than ds and algo they learned long time ago. Depending on which type is being hired the interview could be adjusted. So probably if an applicant has no experience at all, give them ds and algo problems, but if the candidate has some experience, focus on that may be and go deep from there.
This is an absolutely incredible read.

That is attributed entirely to increased labor costs and almost all of that in increasingly large urban centers (which also have a lot of construction).

So basically.... Apples to apples it hasn't gone up. It's simply that people are buying more construction in urban areas.

Chromatic aberration drives me nuts, especially when driving at night or using a computer. LED headlights are particularly irritating; if I don't look through the centre of the lenses, the way they separate into distinct blue and white lights creates a visually chaotic scene.

The last time I got new glasses (from Costco), I specifically requested lenses that would minimise chromatic aberration. But they didn't have anything better than the high index lenses I already had. I have very bad eyes (rx of -8.25 and -8.00), which makes my lenses quite thick.

Are there other lens materials that do a better job of minimising chromatic aberration? I've tried researching this, but wasn't able to find anything.

It’s not just Java, it’s any programmer with proficiency in any other language, including those that are quite proficient at JavaScript. The sentiment after our team wrapped up a recent Node project for a client was basically “the internet keeps lying about the maturity of the node ecosystem”. That was with the latest TypeScript and an architect who was very good.

The event loop model that Node uses is easily replicated in other programming languages. It’s not a sensible default though, blocking code is better for most domains.

Quadcopter pilots have been using STM32F3 for years. Check out: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight one of the more popular flight control projects. They've been supporting STM32F4 and STM32F7 for quite some time.

A typical quad flight controller with an STM32F4 and a decent MPU will set you back less than $30.
I think we might just barely be able to build a piston engine large enough to make use of that. It would have cylinders capable of swallowing container ships whole. You'd want at least 4 cylinders of course, maybe more. It'd be something like a trillion-liter engine. The emissions control device and the muffler would likewise be huge. The fuel injectors would need to toss the thermonuclear bombs clear of the piston and valves and cylinder walls, ensuring some distance between the fireball and anything that could be damaged.

So yeah, there might be downsides, but I think this is actually a valid design for a fusion reactor. We really could do this.

I always try and design in a debug mode. Turn it on and the destination will try to tell you exactly what you did wrong instead of stonewalling you.

Painful experience has taught me that you really want unique start and stop tokens, message type, message length, rev field and checksum/mac always. That at least allows you to mechanically validate and dispatch packets/messages.

The postal service has been doing this for decades.

I once did data entry for the postal service; I would type in the addresses from the images of scanned mail pieces where the systems couldn't OCR the address/route by some other means. The actual mail and I were almost always in different states.

That was the mid 90s. Which means they were imaging pretty much everything way back then. While the OCR and facilitating the manual entry processes are a couple of uses, I am quite sure those images had many uses with the right kind of imagination... perhaps even today...

Pretty much all clocks in modern electronics above a few MHz are generated by PLL synthesis. The synthesizers are referenced to a slower clock crystal or something along those lines. You can go way beyond just multiplication, as well, with fractional synthesis. Check out the Si5351 for a chip that packs a couple of these synthesizers.

Note that there is no harmonic that is a perfect fifth above the fundamental; the first harmonic is the octave. So if cycles of perception have to be based on harmonics (multiples of frequencies), the next plausible one after octaves (2f) would be based on the perfect 12 (3f), rather than the 5th (3f/2). The 4f based cycle is really just octaves again, except we're skipping every other octave. It gets too distant after that. Maybe the 3f progression does contain a cycle of pitch perception; I will try giving that a listen.
Leaving the decompiler aside, for core disassembly features, in what ways is modern IDA far ahead of its competitors?
This is a component -- what's the device model? The energy cost of crossing that gradient will continually increase (you could use gravity, but you still have to clean the briny side).

The of course brine disposal is a problem.
