When these sites go pay wall as the New York Times has they disappear. Actually just today I moved a bunch of my favorite sites into a folder of oblivion called PW. I understand their need and desire to make money but if I am going to spend money on the New York Times I will buy the paper one. So many sites are going behind pay walls and they will eventually die. Tragic. If I buy a paper copy of the New York Times, I own it forever. Their website is excellent but I'm just not willing to pay for all of the sites that expect me too. They certainly have every right to charge what they want, as I have every right to stop viewing them.
The Problem with Supplements
I read it a long long time ago. Got it from a garage sale as a kid. Strangely most of what I can remember is "future slang" and not plot or tech or themes or characters. One chapter started with a definition of a word, which was "not derog. unless abbr.", which I thought was lovely. A guy puts his beard on in the morning with a "rozar".

Not a helpful review, I'm afraid. I loved it at the time, but couldn't convince any friends to read it.
"Pro-landlord" is not "pro-ownership", it's the opposite.
I get that it selects for rich people, but how does it select for intelligent people?
At my employer (very large company) whose product is not an app (but our apps are used by a lot of our customers you don't have to) we do accessibility for our mobile apps and web, but only for sightless people, who rarely if ever use our apps due to the nature of our business. However the number of limited sight people, including older folks and those with visual limitations who can still see, are a large number of our app using customers; sadly we ignore them in design. I too have floaters and have trouble with low contrast text and our app designs are a bit hard to see. In a previous job our designers insisted on medium gray text on light gray backgrounds: I actually upped the contrast in my implementations from what was requested, and no one ever noticed thankfully.

Imagine if Uber did the same, support voiceover for their driver app (like why would a sightless person drive for Uber!) but ignore those with somewhat limited vision or are using the app in a fixed mount while driving, but are otherwise fine with driving vision.
Maybe if someone hasn't an existing php host and doesn't want to configure one from scratch.

There are really good reasons to be suspicious of short block length ciphers, but there's nothing in this paper besides a dire warning and hint of future results. Contrary the authors' plea at the end, I think this proves exactly why cryptanalytic results must be published.
Naysayers:

They have the compelling story and publish as they see fit.

You read, or not, because non optimal.

They still have the compelling stories, still publish as they see fit.

Audience either way, because compelling.

Thought experiment for you:

There are two radio stations. One airs compelling content at low quality. Usable, but not produced optimally.

The other demonstrates production excellence, but just is not all that compelling.

Which do you listen to? Which do most people listen to and why?

That is what is happening here.
I think in the end there's room for some diversity in approach. I just tend to resist the tropes that state X is absolutely better when it absolutely isn't backed by sufficient evidence.

If you think any tool can't handle this better than you are woefully misinformed.

I was doing this method back in 2006, let me assure you that the automated tools available today make this look like amateur hour.

Automatic schema transactions, automatic up/down scripts, automatic detection that a schema change hasn't been committed. Automatic change tracking table in the db. Ability to seed a database with test data.

With a single command I can go back to any arbitrary point of changes, switch branch, work on a bug fix, switch back to dev and the next time I fire up the Dev site it'll automatically redeploy the new changes.

Just streets ahead of hand coded scripts. Yes, there's a learning curve, yes you have to pay attention to your design still, but it is so good.

I was skeptical at first, but honestly I'm never going back and I don't miss it. I'm using Entity Framework Migrations, I assume other languages have similar/better tools.
David Foster Wallace was right: Irony is ruining our culture (2014)
a lot of the golden age sci fi authors were good guessers.

they were prolific (and their misses fell out of favor), scientifically literate (the foundation sciences have not progressed much since the 60s, biology/genetics being the major exception) and based their stories on old myths and legends (a standard trope in fiction), which allowed a type of reflective writing on the human condition with forward prediction power. many were also tied into anti-soviet/anti-american spy networks and traveled frequently working as information gatherers and agents for their respective governments.

sumna technologiae (stanislaw lem) is a good primer for people working in AI today, as lem attempts to understand cybernetics through the golden age lens. arkady and strugatsky's hard to be a god is about the problems of trying to order society and artificially advance it.

the soviet skepticism towards scientific/technological utopias comes through much stronger, given those authors lived through a failed one. the movement continued into the real sciences, fomenko's new chronology being the gold standard of what happens when you erode faith in your society, truth and the stability of reality. the western system is going through a similar social collapse the soviet one went through, reading the soviet literature of the time will help you understand the coming future of the english speaking peoples, no death or violence, just a disoriented sadness, a type of alien haze which clouds your senses and has you slowly floating down into cold darkness.

Node.js and more secure by definition? That sounds _very_ strange to me...
I agree with that. Something like that could happen. Question is, how do we stop it? This reminds me of when Facebook owned Parse dot com and a lot of developers used parse for storing user data. Given Facebook's track record with privacy, I won't be surprised if they used it.
Furthermore, DigitalOcean silently drops all SMTP traffic on IPv6, which can be really confusing since you'll simply timeout and it isn't mentioned in the documentation. They do that because they implemented IPv6 against all standard industry practices (which were helpfully gathered in a RFC) and within hours of launching IPv6 the few /64s from which they were allocating customers /124s to landed on blacklists.

It's been 5 years since and they still have no plans to do IPv6 properly and allocate /64s [0].

This is the main reason I switched to Linode, who will happily allocate you a IPv6 range (/116, /64, /56) that can be rerouted between VPSes with a simple ticket (takes <1 hour).

There's another nice discussion of this sort of effect in prior games here: https://simonschreibt.de/gat/windows-ac-row-ininite/
Amazon must have a good reason for tolerating the counterfeits for this long. My hunch is that they hope to use it as leverage to get brands to use them as their exclusive online sales channel. The brands know these counterfeit products are hurting their image. Most consumers think that the junk that they receive from Amazon is authentic (especially when sold by a 3rd-party with a similar name).

One long-term challenge for Amazon will be not becoming a flea market of low-grade, generic ‘stuff’. Brands want to cut the middle-man and sell direct. You see similar things happening with big media: studios don’t want to have someone else distribute their experience. Plus, they don’t want to lose having direct access to their customers. But, without the brands, what will Amazon sell?

In short, you have nothing to prove it.

Sorry, but :

> How else can they tell where your data is and track how much they need to charge you?

You say companies need to track metadata for pricing and they don't know where your data is without tracking? Huh. I mean, that answer is surreal. I thought you had a console to set everything up and pricing is based on cost + wanted profit.

AWS was like something of 33% profit. Nothing of their pricing is based on GA :p ( like wtf)
Unfortunately the GPG signing is worthless because there's no way of attaching trust to each key. So each package has been signed, but anyone could have issued the keys, so an attacker could easily do the same.

Also, not all artifacts have sources and javadoc. Most do but some certainly don't.
Cats are extremely intelligent, it only takes spending a few days with one and it becomes quite obvious. Dogs on the other hand, I haven't quite figured them out...

For some reason companies hate text now. Instead of a menu, you get icons with as minimalistic a design and as little difference between them as possible. Entering your user name and password is two separate pages for some reason now. Window borders have disappeared so instead of knowing at a glance where you can click and drag you have to closely watch your mouse pointer change. A big "Hewwo 2 U!" screen is added between turning your computer on and being able to enter your password as if you foolishly left your desktop in your jeans pocket and Windows wants to make sure you're not pocket-PowerPointing.

It's like they're trying to alienate everyone not intimately familiar with the system and appeal to the lowest common denominator at the same time.
Minuscule as in about 32 billion $. https://newzoo.com/insights/articles/global-games-market-rea...

And that's in a market that is basically ignoring Apple users and their money. And you are forgetting that people need hardware to run those games as well. Apple sells expensive hardware but not to gamers .... who spend many billions on getting the best FPS. Apple is doing very little to tap into any of that. It would drive hardware sales and if they play their cards right also app store sales. Particularly VR is causing people to spend thousands of dollars on non Apple hardware.

You are right that mobile is currently bigger and Apple probably makes quite a bit out of IOS related sales of that market. But Desktop gaming is not nothing. Even for Apple.

I'm working on a SaaS service for developers, so I've built some API client libraries using openapi-generator [1] (using my OpenAPI specification.) The hardest part (by far) has been signing up for all of these different package manager services and figuring out how to release the libraries. Java and Maven was particularly difficult.

It sounds so nice to be able to release all of my packages on one centralized service. I hope they support PHP and Python soon.

> Qt uses pointers

That statement lies somewhere between simplistic and out-right wrong. Qt uses pointers just like C++'s smart pointers use pointers.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/objecttrees.html

Moreover, Qt also provides a collection of smart pointers, which are used quite extensively by Qt.

https://wiki.qt.io/Smart_Pointers

> meta-objects, pre-precompiler

I fail to see the point of your complaint. Besides the fact that Qt's "pre-compiler" is used to transparently support stuff such as UI design tooling and Qt's resource system (which handles embedding images and i8n), Qt's meta-object system also adds the boilerplate code that implements stuff such as event loops, IPC, observers, and message-passing.

So, actually, what's your point?

This complaint is particularly absurd if we compare Qt with unquestionably modern technologies such as the Android stack, whose build process is jam-packed with precompiler steps and whose project trees are filled to the brim with XML-based DSLs.

> inheritance over templates, little use of the standard library

These complaints make absolutely no sense at all.

> need I say more?

...Yes? You actually failed to make a single point, let alone presented a rational argument to back your assertion.

This jab is simply stupid, more so in light of your complains.

I’ve seen this breeding research ant colonies in captivity. I would flood colonies that had overgrown their enclosure to move them into a new container. The queen resisted while workers fought to move her, until they reached a critical mass and forced her to the new enclosure
The math isn't too suspicious from what I can read, though I'm by no means an expert - it's just set stuff, from what I can tell. I think that Twitter post is just confusing the different fonts for the sets vs the scalars. "The cardinality of the set of keys is equal to two to the power of the length of the key" is a pretty sensible statement. The Yi is probably a typo, considering the `Xi = Xi` on the prior line is a bit redundant (and this is preprint, so I'd forgive it).

In any case, my real takeaway:

> Our main result is that we can find a 64-bit key in about three days
(average time) on two Odroid MC1 clusters (8 Gb) [18] from two pairs of
plaintext/ciphertext.

The algorithm isn't strong vs key reuse. I'm unsure if it actually claimed to be so - key reuse is almost always a big problem, though, and in this case they're exploiting the birthday paradox to make the search for the key more efficient.
Maybe my memory is bad but I don't think OS X ever really had it. The flag-carrying apps (Adobe, Final Cut, Garageband) had custom UIs. Built ins like Calendar had skeumorphic UIs.

In here, nobody knows (and more importantly nobody cares) you are a dog.
The construction is at least at face value a pretty simple ARX cipher - the only real questions being why choose the specific rotation constants they do for each round (ciphers developed in the open usually do things like key off digits of pi) and why compose specifically via xor, then add, then rotate in each round, rather than more of a blend.

If this style algorithm does indeed have an intentional backdoor: That's some crazy mathematic chops and I'd love to read the theory behind how it (the intentionally weak algorithm) was found (since hopefully that leads to a natural way to generate stronger algorithms, or at least check for weak ones). That'd be a valuable takeaway for the security community once the secret's spoiled, if it is the case.

.NET was available for old versions of Windows, had full capabilities, and could be distributed any way. It caught on.

UWP meant dropping support for old Windows, you can't even access the filesystem (open a playlist file? Unzip an archive? Open subtitle files? Nah), and you can only publish on Windows Store which nobody visits. It didn't catch on.

I feel for the developers at MS building a platform nobody would use. Until this announcement.

You can't avoid upgrading forever though, eventually your legacy technology will stop getting security updates and support. Then you are tasked with a huge leap from old to new.

I suspect corporates don't really want to get stuck with so much legacy, they just don't know how to avoid it.

Yeah, somehow child labor = children are dying. It is ridiculous. Most of the time they are better off working, and not just to gain experience, but to bring money or food home and so on. Heck, when I was a kid, most kids I knew worked and was better off doing that. They were not dying, they are not dead. What gives then?

His link even mentions this:

> Contrary to popular belief, most child labourers are employed by their parents rather than in manufacturing or formal economy.

> Preventing children from participating in productive work would be more harmful to their welfare and that of their group in the long run

Child labor is not inherently wrong, and no one says the kids should have to work in harsh conditions just like the adults. Child labor != children dying.

It is not an answer to your question, he just has absolutely no clue what he is talking about. It is yet another instance of "think about the children" gone wrong. I mean, yeah dude, working at retail or assembling whatever is killing our children! Absurd.

Edit: I am against forced labor when it comes to both children AND adults.
> We need to stop the "move fast and break things" now,

I understand your concerns, but I believe we should upgrade the Democratic system to give people more direct and more often opportunities to change the law rather than slow down technology progression
They full on brushed off Julia with hardly a justification. It’s the strongest contender and got hardy a mention. They just dismiss it on the grounds of “oh uuuh there are...aren’t many libraries or something”, nevermind the fact that Julia’s data science and ML ecosystem is far more developed than Swift’s is.

Moving TF to Julia would have killed 2 birds with one stone: community size and outright number of packages would have both been fixed as a community grew up around TF in Julia.
