One thing that would be interesting to investigate in the future would be to see how the test behaves for CFS patients who are not as severely ill, or for non-CFS patients that are currently ill from a different disease.

I am not sure why my parent comment has been judged so harshly, as my reasoning was both feminist and humanist. Sure sex has the x y genetic component, but as soon as you throw in expression and developmental processes, sex is a spectrum, ignoring even gender distinctions. Rules that restrict eligibility by the natural expression of your sex because they deviate from some prototype are deeply wrong, and also ignores/discriminates against large swaths of naturally expressed sexualities within the inter sex range.
The main reason you'd want proofs to be checked by someone else, at least initially, is to get a feel for writing clear, rigorous and tight proofs. Much as a novice programmer should have their code reviewed, a novice mathematician needs to have their math reviewed for common mistakes and pitfalls.

You're right, I think it just makes it less "gray". If Oracle bundles crapware with a Java installer that installs an unsigned plugin in Firefox, you can write a PR release to smooth things over.

If the crapware uninstall Firefox, install Firefox Dev Edition, and installs the unsigned plugin, there's not much of a "gray" defence there.
The article is representative of the modern fad of mixing narrative story telling with information. It could be half as long and still provide sufficient "color" to prevent it being merely a bullet list of facts.

Is this "hardware NAT" something that's closed in the hardware/firmware, or is it specialized hardware that is programmable with open source to implement NAT in some kind of accelerated way?

(I don't care as much as the FSF does, about where closed behavior is represented -- downloadable blob from host, on-device storage, or burnt into hardware. What's more important to me is getting more of the behavior represented in open source/hardware.)

(BTW, I love the Linux ath9k work. Besides various routers and PCIe WiFi cards, I have a stockpile of Corebooted ThinkPads in which I've replaced the mini-PCIe cards despite the original whitelisting.)
From the linked FAQ:

VS Code collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services. Read our privacy statement to learn more.

If you don't wish to send usage data to Microsoft, you can set the telemetry.enableTelemetry setting to false.

From File > Preferences > Settings (macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for telemetry.enableTelemetry and uncheck the setting. This will silence all telemetry events from VS Code going forward. Telemetry information may have been collected and sent up until the point when you disable the setting.

That's ALL telemetry. So, the second you don't actively opt-in, we collect no telemetry data in VS Code AT ALL.

You'll also want to disable crash reporting:

VS Code collects data about any crashes that occur and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services. Read our privacy statement to learn more.

If you don't wish to send crash data to Microsoft, you can set the telemetry.enableCrashReporter setting to false.

It's that simple. Absolutely nothing - and CERTAINLY no user code (which we never collected in the first place.
Exacly, just sorting it would show it better, it feels like it should just output percentage with (arbitrary/based on population %age/whatever) threshold that is outside of the test.
I’m also very interested in seeing how strong the effect is when tested on mild and moderately ill patients. I hope they follow up with that. (The study group OMF have been using has been 20 severely sick patients, which is a good plate to start.)
I see it as a failure on my part, certainly not everyone else.
That would be unreasonable. My personal preferred mode of communication is direct and to the point, but I guess most people are not like that.
The thing is, the server sends a real response, it's just not the same response as it sends to other recursive resolvers.

Imagine it's HTTP, and the site sent a 404 to your proxy, but you knew it generally sent a 200 to other proxies, what should you do? Send the 404, or override it with your own status code? Cloudflare is saying they are not OK with overriding codes.

This looks very promising, but it’s too early to say how accurate this test truly will be. Even if this papers methodology is replicated and the test again perfectly selects ME/CFS from healthy controls, it may perform terribly when used in a real clinical setting where the test has to distinguish CFS from the spectrum of other disorders that it will encounter.

In other words while the current paper suggests the tests sensitivity is likely to be high it’s much harder to come to any conclusion about it’s real world specificity.
I have a feeling it was weeks before someone with a clue stepped in, and then a matter of minutes.

315 MHz is a perfectly lovely frequency for direction-finding. Hams have "fox hunt" exercises around 440 MHz all the time, and 315 just means the optimal antennae are slightly larger, but still easily portable.

I've only participated in a few fox-hunts, but they're incredibly fun. Typically our "search area" is the bounds of a city, or a set of roads maybe 3-5 miles on a side, and our time frame is an hour. I have yet to see one where the fox isn't found within the hour, typically about half that, and in many cases the fox only transmits for 30 seconds every 5 minutes or something, just to make it harder.
Really really negative coverage, but that's obvious.
Show HN: The PJDL (Padded Jittering Data Link) Open Standard
Once upon a time I unassumingly pondered upon my university library's sale. This type of thing happened every term and every term I would skip a class or so to pore over the treasures.

And this time, indeed there was a treasure. The first thing that struck me was the big sticker on the first page that said "DO NOT REMOVE FROM LIBRARY" and "DO NOT THROW OUT". Well, I am not sure exactly what it said, but that was the general drift.

As the honest, hardworking, minimum wage person that I am... I promptly alerted the librarian on shift. The librarian (and his team of white walkers) then rather alarmedly started digging through the books in search of similar labels.

At the end of the day I wasn't even thanked. Honesty goes a long way to making one a poor student and without booze money.

So you want to know what the book was? I'll give you a hint. There were two volumes. And the writer was "more modest than Newton".

I estimate that the two volumes are worth about USD 8000 together.

I wouldn't agree with the claim, but it might be referring to Tor's weaknesses against country or global passive adversaries -- timing attacks correlating your requests with the site's responses. If you can log everyone's bandwidth and can get ISPs to tell you which human is using Tor, metadata anonymity goes away.
I don't get why this flag was disabled on Linux though. Nobody uses "installers" on Linux, come on. I am not sure if malware of this kind even exists on Linux.

Yep, that's how interview questions work. If someone immediately recommends a solution, that's someone who probably needs to grow in their field a little before being given a position where this is a potentially real situation.
So they are generating a signal by toggling the IO pin on and off. Not only will there be a huge amount of harmonics, wouldn't processor interrupts wreak havoc on the output signal and cause even more interference?

I actually feel like this would hinder readability, since we should be trying to read it like code rather than English. Destination is just as vague to me as dst, ditto for value and v, and I don’t have to move my eyes as much horizontally to read a line of code, not to mention that more verbose makes would sacrifice readability of the algorithmic structure for more context that quickly becomes redundant.
Selectah!
I could probably find such a transmission using my personal equipment in a relatively short amount of time. That’s all well and good, but you’re a city council person and a constituent complains. Then another, and another. Call up mikestew and his crack team of Rogue Transmission Finders? No, you went to business school, you haven’t the first clue how this shit works. I mean on the level of “it uses radio waves? Is it like WiFi on my computer?” cluelessness. Garage door people, though a good first guess and good folk who know how to fix that giant spring without getting killed, are not RF engineers. AT&T? phhhhttt, what, they’re sending their crack RF engineer into the field to diagnose a frequency that is not in their allotted bands? And everyone’s cell phone still works, so take a guess at what defined “best effort”.

So my guess is the vast majority of the time was spent tracking down someone with equipment and the knowledge to use it. Or probably more accurately, just finding the person who even knows who to ask in the first place.

Also don't rule out an incredibly poorly made 315Mhz transmitter. Chinese companies will see lots of bad reviews on their 315Mhz breakout board like, "Terrible product! Only works from within like 3 feet from the transmitter."

So management gets mad at the engineer (who likely has no formal training or knowledge of FCC regulations) and says, "fix it!"

"OK OK I'll just crank up the power!"

Version 1.1 of the board is released on AliExpress a week later ("New version of board. We fixed weak signal!").

End users start getting the new board and like magic they can pick up a signal from like a mile away!

Hate it when people use satire as a means to be passive aggressive or deflect criticism.

Good satire is a form of pointed commentary. If you use it to say , "I didn't mean any of what I wrote", then you defeat the purpose of it.
And as an interviewer I don't really want an answer. What I really want is to watch your brain grind away at a problem. So ask these questions, even rhetorically. Talk through all. Your angles of attack.
I wouldn't say nothing new. It looks like a lot more are starting to add dual SIM to their phones (Apple can do it with eSIM, Samsung has been doing it since at least the S7)...But, I can also get a dual SIM Huawei for $400 less, that has roughly comparable specs for what I want.
I'm surprised there's no mention of the classic Computer Organization and Design by Patterson and Hennessy. Combine that with a recent book on the Linux kernel (either the O'Reilly one or I think there's one from Addison-Wesley) or the BSD red book (design and implementation of 4.4 bsd I think it's called) and I think you'd have good coverage of the topic.
In this case, the transmitter was likely legal, and an FCC certified unit, it was just not complying with the rules as such for that band.

One has to understand what the drivers for super apps are first.

The reason they do well in China is that:

1. Most users use android and there is no reliable & trustworthy single popular App Store.
2. So people at scale rely on the apps that came preinstalled. WeChat famously is!
3. Since it’s hard to get people to install new apps, devs through all products into their one app that has distribution

In the west the preconditions are very different, hence there is no force driving this behavior.
AIDS was once considered a very complex disease, but it has a very accurate (HIV) test today. My big concern would be if, like cancer, there are really many diseases and Chronic Fatigue symptoms are common, not differentiating.
Crazy, I basically self diagnosed myself with CFS and got rid of my symptoms over time by discovering most of the recommendations on this page myself. I figured it had something to do with a funky immune system and gut bacteria, and changed my diet and took supplements and probiotics, and it's mostly gone. I even take bacopa, wild.

Type is purpose. And anyways, the English alternatives are still vague and aren’t really improvements. KV is incredibly standard, even in English conversations (KV store is said more often than key value store). E is not descriptive, but neither is encodeState (WTF does that even mean?). S is a perfect abbreviation for a generic string, calling it string instead isn’t much better, really! It’s obvious in this case that it is only meant to be a generic string (what else could be meant by reflectWithString?).

I do prefer method names to be descriptive, so verbs are nice. Well, unless we are dealing with very generic lambda code, then there might not be better options beyond f, g, and p.

That certainly exacerbated it, but arguably it's not even the worst RF sin being committed here. The other is spurious emissions. Toggling a GPIO at frequency f doesn't just result in frequency f, it also results in 3f, 5f, 7f, and so on because the GPIO is outputting a square wave not a sine wave. That's the best case. Unreliable timing could turn that from a frequency "comb" into a forest of spurs across the RF spectrum, and whichever spurs make it out of an antenna are going to break the law (best case) or interfere with important RF devices (worst case).

Do you know a number on the difference between targeted and untargeted search (not display) ads? If I search for "instant pot," I'm probably looking to buy an instant pot. How much does knowing my entire search and browsing history help the advertiser? I'm sure Google has these numbers, and equally sure they aren't sharing.

What Qualities Make A Good CTO
To play around with a non-technical solution I would consider rushing out a "Version 2.0" of the application that accomplishes the following (if possible within a <24 hour window):

1) Has a functioning update service that fixes the original problem

2) A quick re-skin/theme-change to i.e. a more "modern" version of its original design

3) Whatever performance/security improvements you can cobble together quickly or were in the pipe already

I would do this because I see this as also a business/finance/sales/marketing problem as a technical one. Assuming this bricked the core product, you have to save the business first, then save the quarter, then the week, then the day.

I think this would work because it is much easier to get a user to re-download a version 2.0 with performance/security/design improvements then it is to download almost anything else (imo). Again, this is assuming no saner solution exists. Interested to hear your accepted answer though.
Sometimes, maybe rarely, the software people are the only ones who have a different enough take on things to do something productive, even if they do not start out as experts.
The specification says that resolvers MUST rotate the short-term key pair every 24 hours at most. This is not optional.

Automation tooling to update the certificates is provided. The Docker image that a lot of people use to run servers does this automatically. Keys are rotated every 8 hour.

The client software issues warnings, but tolerates certificates having a time-to-live longer than 24 hours. Not all DNS operators have shifted to short-lived certificates yet, so being tolerant is a reasonable thing to do.

Most of the author's arguments are compelling, but I am very skeptical if any app in the west will ever reach super app status.

Regulators are already considering actions against FANG, although, if compared to Tencent, neither Google's or Facebook's positions in the market seem that threatening at all ...

Building a "real" super app might actually be dangerous for any company int the west.
